They are fighting with the EU, again.. and most new features (like 90% of the update) “won’t be available at launch” as they said. That means they are literally giving you the old brick wrapped as an iPhone 16
No no you see, they added an extra circle thing or two in the back, I think thats to make the camera better, but I don’t think it changes anything.

”What’s new in it?”
The price tag, of course. Updated to the highest model.

“You cracked your screen? You should just update to the newer Apple product” the main selling point of the new release. Insanely… great…

I mean those are just new smartphones in a nutshell – incremental updates that you’ll hardly even notice coming from the last generation of the same phone.
But that’s not really an issue because most people upgrade their phones every 2 to 3 years, and those incremental changes sum up over that time.
Just to be clear I’m not an apple fan boy, I’m typing this from my Samsung phone, I just think that what they’re doing makes complete sense both business wise and customer experience for the average consumer wise

From a iPhone 12, it should be a pretty big increase right? Ive been waiting every 4-5 generations before switching

Look buddy, that’s just a thing that apple users just don’t care enough about to ask. If you have to ask, you’re obviously not a true apple user.

Hasn’t that been true for almost all modern day flagships for like the last 3 years though? I mean, what was so massively different about the S24U over the S23U? It had AI, but I don’t give a shit about that. The greatest improvement was genuinely the glare-free display coating.
I’m not saying that Apple should get a pass. Their flagships are still some of the worst value on the market and iOS is at this stage an objectively worse operating system considering all of its limitations and considering that Android phones in that price category get supported for as long as Apple phones, but they don’t deserve any hate for not changing much considering all flagship phones have played it very safe for almost half a decade now. The mainstream flagship space is the most boring smartphone segment currently, it’s the foldables that are interesting now.

I don’t understand this kind of people.
A new generation of an already existing smartphone model is released, and what has changed is: slightly better processor, slightly better screen, slightly better camera, and if you’re lucky also slightly better battery life. This has been the case for … let me check my notes real quick … ah yes, here we have it … EVERY SMARTPHONE RELEASE EVER.
Seriously what were they hoping for? Build-in fridge? Integrated coffee machine? Should it come with a teleporter? Cold fusion reactor replacing the battery?
Or are they really just mad it doesn’t come in their favourite colour?

I never had an apple product myself, but I bought an Iphone 13 a few years ago for my fiancé, then I gradually bought her apple watch and airpods pro, and I must say the ecosystem they have is great, it works amazing. However, I still won’t buy it for myself since I use YouTube reVanced a lot, and it won’t be possible to install it on an apple device

It isn’t really the fault of Apple.. Phones have just peaked in general and any improvement will be incremental across all companies.

It’ll be the same as always. Marginally better everything but you won’t notice, and a bunch of new features that most people won’t use.

Lol. Remember when $500 dollars were expensive?
but hey, it has the apple logo slapped on it.

The apple is 1% more bitten.
