@@bojanstojanovic5465 real. the iphone 16 is the 15 with the 12 camera lineup. and i was wrong. apple invests way too much on their commericials for their mid phones
@@FarbodHKGD Not really. If they priced their iPhones accordingly for example in the 500$ range like many android phones already do because they use last generations tech then it would not be such a problem. What they do though is keep prices high while having essentially nothing new to offer. There are a lot of companies that don’t innovate but make budget phones with “old” tech. Take nothing phone for example. Not innovating is not the problem.
@@BattaCham iPhone is a flagship? 😂 What’s flagship about it? The 60Hz screen or the dual camera array? Or maybe the 3000mAh battery? Any mid tier android has more, some even with 5000mAh and a 90Hz to 120Hz displays. Oh and with more RAM too…
Does Apple not remember what happened to Nokia when they thought they were too big to fail? Stay ahead in technology because you can be left behind very quickly when you think you don't have to try to keep up. Watch the iphone 16 sales closely.
NOKIA fell because of the stupid system, they had amazing phones, inovative phones, the problem was that stupid Symbian. The hardware was miles ahead of Apple and Samsung, I remember having a Nokia E7, playing Fruit Ninja 0 lag, and the I saw it on Samsung, it was abysmal, the battery life was double than on the Iphone
Nokia fell because they were having issues making an OS for smartphones, they refused to use Android because they saw it as a temporary solution, and didn't wanna to invest resources in both to adopt Android and to develop their own OS
@@paradoxzee6834 SO think about how far behind Apple are on AI and make the link, they couldn't even have "Apple Intelligence" ready when it is the main marketing focus for the Iphone 16..... If the software is launched buggy and half baked....
It's a good phone for people upgrading from iPhone 12 and older. I'm not sure why people with iPhone 14 and 15 are discussing iPhone 16. It definitely saves them the cost of upgrading.
I have an iPhone 12 and literally the only thing I am missing out is the 120hz display. I was going to upgrade this year but I think I can push it out one more model…although that is what I said last year
Apple is simply running out of ideas, yet when apple decides to copy android's features 10 years later, apple enthusiasts think they have the best innovation.
@@SooperBoy-l1z Not yet. They still haven't cracked the code of a full screen only without a camera notch or pill. Once they solve that, then we're finally at the end.
its been 4 years and Apple has no fold or flip device yet the only thing Apple has done was brought out a phone with 5 buttons that many cheapo devices have
@@xxdesertstorm tell me one advantage flip phone provide? it's just a flexing privilege. Only 20% of people will use the real estate folding phones provide
@@mrchaos5328 🤣🤣useless Apple simp, why does the phone need 5 buttons please tell me simp as cheapo devices have the same amount of buttons, Huawei doesn't even have that many and have a tri-fold, Apple has no fold or flip device so what gives
It’s time for Tim Cook to go. He’s a business operator, not a visionary. Apple is repeating its own history, but SteveJobs isn’t coming back to save them this time.
Apple has been doing this for years, the iPhone 6 to 11 are the same design as the OG iPhone to 3gs and then Apple thought people want the iPhone 4 to 5s design and now its been over used and no change insight
I agree. I’ll go so far as to say that Tim Cook was a mistake. Under his stewardship, Apple has wasted billions of dollars on failed moonshots like car and VR projects when their customers have been begging them to compete in the Smart Home market, a market they could easily beat Google and Amazon in if they just tried. Tim has been resting on Apple’s laurels and hasn’t shipped enough new product categories. He needs to go.
@BattaCham they keep releasing new phones every year and slap us in the face, then take our money, because we will buy it regardless if there's big changes or not they've become more of a status symbol and cashgrab instead of what they used to be not that there's no other company that doesn't do this, but at the very least, it doesn't cost us arms and legs then gives us decades old technology
@TheEchelon im not hating on apple just because i use android or all that nonsense i daily drive both android and apple products, but i gotta say, I've been disappointed with apple releases lately there's people who are still trying to defend apple and say something like "we don't need 120hz, apple's 60hz is already smooth and faster than android" no, it doesn't, there's day and night differences. "Well, 120hz will drain our battery faster and ruins it's lifetime" then what about just gives us the option to choose between em, like, idk, just like what android has been doing? personally, i dont care what you are going to use. At the end of the day, it's still your money but coping so hard, like the people i mentioned, are just hilarious
But wait, this video said that your phone will stop working after just a couple years. You must be mistaken and are actually using the iPhone 16,,, right?!
@@DangerNoodlez144it absolutely should lose the notch. It’s been years now since completely full displays were released. Don’t care about foldables tho. But i would like to see one from apple cause their shit may be overpriced but it’s top quality.
My iPhone 15 pro max was my last iPhone. It became so stale that I got bored of my phone. I jumped on to the Fold 6 and at first I was having Iphone withdrawal but after a week and the features of the fold woke my interest and excitement. I took a leap and glad I did. Not going back anytime soon.
Smartphones are already matured to a point where you can't do much to them beyond software and UI changes. Even if you make something like a folding/flip phone, it's another point of mechanical failure after daily use, where a brick won't fail. Also, upgrading every 5-6 years not only saves a lot of money, but you'll feel the changes. Having gone from a Xs Max to a 15PM, the upgrades were tremendous.
I can't remember that the S24 Ultra that I own now had any relevant innovations compared to the S23 Ultra. It's basically the same phone. Biggest change was that Samsung finally dropped the curved screen which has always been a deal breaker.
New shape, AI that actually comes with AI at launch, the best screen in a phone right now on planet earth, new materials used. Do you want more or are your lips still stuck to Apple's ass?
@@Carlos94016 Never had an Apple. Have never used the AI of my S24 Ultra. Still pictures suck because the phone is overprocessing them. Screens are all the same. I don't even use the 120 Hz, only 60 Hz because the 120 Hz has zero benefit for me except higher power consumption. But Apple is very good and so popular for a reason. They stick to the basics and they work perfectly. Just look at all the "innovations" the Chinese manufacturers came up with in the last 10 years. Many of them vanished shortly after they were introduced because they were unnecessary innovations nobody needs and nobody bought. Just to name you a view. Extendible/disappearing front camera, front camera behind the screen, movable screen to access the front camera. 3 innovations nobody cares about anymore and never has cared about. Better 1 great innovation within 5 years instead of 1 absolutely useless innovations each year.
This 15 is my last Apple. Period. I don't care about the walled garden or the ecosystem, difficulties in adopting new tech after 14 years., etc. I simply refuse to give them more and more money to run in neutral. Anyone have a decent Android recommendation for swappers like me?
If you want something easier to get into, probably the Google pixel. If you want an Android that has the most feature-rich offering even though you might not use all of them, Samsung will probably be the choice. But there are plenty more if you really want to look up reviews. There are a lot of great Android phones
Please avoid Chinese spyware phones. People may try to sell you on them because cheaper/different features, but we don't need more spyware in the US. Stick to known good brands. Samsungs are great, also Pixel.
I use my iPhone daily, and I will buy the 16. I have been a happy customer for years. Most iPhone users simply use and love their phones and don't spend time online arguing over which phones or the best. If your Samsung or Android is working out great for you, that's fantastic. Enjoy it. Don't worry about what phones other people use and enjoy, just live your best life and worry about you.
@@stevenwilson5556 You should be happy that we are complaining it forces apple to try and innovate if anything you should applaud it. We fight for consumers who work hard jobs just to get the same phone performance they had 3 years ago.
I don't want to offend anyone. But the truth is people who buy the new iPhone are just really just buying brand and status which for me is outright stupid
You forgot about situation when you have old iPhone and you after many years want to buy same brand because you are used to it's system and find it reliable.
This video is a tad dramatic. Worst iphone update ever? Um…please. The iPhone, and ALL smartphones have reached a point where yearly updates will be slight improvements over the previous year. Slightly faster chip. Slightly better camera. Slightly thinner bezels. Slight tweak in design. Eventually Apple may come out with a foldable iphone when folding screens become better… but realistically, There’s only so much you can do to change the design of a phone. And most people are fine with that. Your smartphone in your pocket has more computing power than a super computer the size of a building a few decades ago. Relax. 😂
the worst iphone was the iphone 14, if anything the iphone 16 is one of the best iphones in a while, having most pro functions in the base model, the pro camaras of the 15 pro, satelite improvements, colour ( im a sucker for that green :c ) and the ai functions of the 15 pro, its rather nice, perhaps teh 60hz display is bad for some but for me its alright.
I agree. But they have enough budget to at least change the physical design a little. I’m a hardcore Apple fan and I have 11 Apple products in my house but I’m tired of fighting for them after this launch. If they wanted to, they could make better physical changes to their devices to excite us more. 6 years of the same design for the iPhone Pros got boring now and the software changes are long overdue.
It’s clearly not affecting the millions of people who bought the regular iPhone 15 last year. We need to realise that most regular users don’t care about 90hz or 120hz. They just want a phone that works right out of the box, no need for customization, where most of the native default apps can be used for emails, photos and surfing the net.
Admittedly 60hz is arguably old in 2024, though two things to consider: (1) it gives better battery life, (2) the average "non-pro" consumer barely notices a difference and doesn't care, and may prefer longer battery life. So what should Apple do about it? Offer the Pro for $200 more, paying not just $200 for the framerate, but every other deluxe thing that tech-savvy tech-enthusiasts also want, like the Pro chip that lays waste to every other mobile phone in existence, professional level cameras, bigger screen, etc., and so on. Would it be better if they had 18 models where you could pick and choose exactly what you care and don't care about within your affordable range? Maybe, but by doing so you lose economy of scale efficiencies so that every model would then cost more. It's like CostCo, buy 100 and each unit costs 67% less than buying a single unit at the supermarket. Hope this helped clear it up. You can read the other comment I made if you want to know more about economy of scale and why gradual evolutionary roll out helps economy of scale and is actually pro-consumer. Cheers!
Thing about these videos are, how innovative are you expecting smartphone to be? People complained iPhone 4s is boring and copying iPhone 4. Everyone hated every years release. Phones should be simple and easy to use. No point of innovation if nobody uses it. Also Steve jobs never made these things, he was an influence and had ideas but the team did all the work.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi and Huawei(perhaps thru China's uncompromised copying of other's technology and improving on it) is now leading in terms of cell phone technology. Iphone and Samsung is only thriving now in the US because the government (wisely) is stopping China's new tech entry into the States. It's unheard off how Mi OS was able to integrate their UI into all other products that they have seamlessly, from their sound system to their screwdrivers.
Generation 1-iphone 5s, with taking in consideration the price at that time, Apple was targeting customers to buy a new iPhone every 2 years. Since then, mostly post IPhone X, they are targeting customers who want to buy iPhones every 4-5 years. This explains the less new features in every new iphone.
In reality we hit the peak of computer chip technology we cant go beyond 3nm it seems, without it being super expensive this is why they focus on cameras.
Im a truck driver and I had an android phone before where I needed to check maps often while on a call and generally do lots of multi tasking... and the android would just lag! even if its a flag ship its just bugs and lag way too often! So I got my self an iphone and never had a problem ! it does a phone function really well ! thats all I need!
You just cant say android phone. I hate when apple uneducated fanboys says android. Andoird is a operating system, not a phone. Now, if you bought 200-400 (maybe 500) phone, ofcourse multitasking gonna lag (unless you have Oneplus). If you bought phone with maybe same price range as iphone, multitasking is no problem at all. (recommended for driving is oneplus open).
Been an iPhone user all my life and lost my iPhone 15 pro. First time ever losing a phone. So I had to upgrade to 16 pro. And not gonna lie I’m happy with the upgrade. The speakers sound better; it feels snappier. And it just seems to last a lot longer even when not in low power mode. I only need to charge it towards the end of the night.
Apple people like to say Apple is smooth and Android isn’t and for most part Apple is smooth but I’ve had it be not so smooth as well I’ve had a better experience with Androids being smoother and overall better. And yes I’ve had a iPhone all the way back to the iPhone 4 and I always go back to android cause for me it’s easier than Apple to use and it’s not closed off. Apple people always claim they don’t need features that are on Android but when it gets on Apple everyone gets on TH-cam and starts saying how great it is like when Android started getting bigger phones what I heard was we don’t need a big phone or oled screens we are good with lcd or widgets we don’t need widgets or being able to move icons we don’t need that. I say keep fooling yourselves I’m honest to myself I gave Apple a very good try for years and to me my opinion Android is just better.
Unfortunately it applies to computers too. What Mac users call "good interface" I call a mess that also lacks functionality. I mean, they just added a tiling window manager, in 2024! I'm any case, they won't learn. They believe in the brand as if it were some kind of God.
I genuinely don't understand what kind of yearly innovations people expect from the this 18th gen iphone. The claim that apple used to innovate is not quite accurate as they has the s-series in the past that usually just got minor features. Remember that the main feature of the iphone 7 was ip68 rating and the lack of a headphone jack. And its not even true that iphones get no innovate features anymore. Magsafe, precision airtag location, satellite communication and crash detection are genuinely new and useful features that apple introduced.
@@iwantanewhead2976 you should not worry about it, I will, if I need. But hold on ladies, oh... your habit to poke your nose in someone else's business is unparalleled.
Simplicity in what :-)) even if you whant to corect a word its harder on apple to edit then android and more things. You call that simple i call a cult.
There’s not much more you can do to a phone other than the camera. If Apple makes a flip phone that would be something different. They need to stop making a new model every yr.
It helps them keep a quicker pace on tech evolutions and leadership. Think of each year as a half-model upgrade. You know like 3 to 3GS, or 4 to 4S, etc. Sure I can see complaining about the new model naming but a name is just a name after all.
@@newagehero9605 I wonder. Do you have any idea why super design engineers with luxury fashion consultants and ergonomic and tech specialists, came to that decision? My guess is no. But if the answer is yes, give us a pros and cons list please.
not just number 1. iPhone sells 200million units a year...all flagship price. While Samsung flasghip only sells 25-30million units a year and other brand flagships sells 1 million or less units a year. The rest of the market are for poor people with budget phones and midrange android. The problem is, the buyers of midrange android are now buying 2nd hand iPhones
and 90%+ of Apple customers are never gonna ship to android while more and more android users are going to Apple as they now have money to buy 2nd hand iPhones or tru cellular plans
@PSy84 Samsung don't need to sell their phone to make money, since every iPhone Apple has manufactured makes them money, without Samsung there is no Apple
The main reason I still use Apple products, is the resale and longevity of their products. I still have an iPhone 8 as my main phone, and it still runs and works fine.
your video was so good even tho i already new some of the things the video had to show i ended up watching it completly because of how well made and hard effort you put to it, keep going!!!, please make a video of samsung and it´s lack of innovation now a days, coping the design of other companies for their new products😁
im not a one for negetive comment. but i disagree, and find this vid kinda just being overall negetive on apple for the sake of them playing it "safe". i started on Samsung. and moved and stuck with apple becuase they made everything work together smoothly. not just the ecosystem. but the products by themselves. people don't need gimmicks n shit. no need to reinvent the wheel with stuff no one will need just for the sake of new things. they make thier stuff work the best they can - and now its mostly software anyways which is good for us consumers. AOD on iphone is the best i've seen implemented, and all they did is wait and refine the idea of it before making it to an actual feature. yes samsung had the 'wow' factor first. but apple made it look apart of the system. and not a gimmick
Some things Apple has improved on but some stuff they did a crappy job at aod has been better on Androids forever I had many iPhones never used the aod cause to me it sucks there are really no options just on and off but this is my opinion.
@@techierg1862 Tip: :) if u set on low power mode the AOD is like samsung where its no wallpaper. and u can toggle wallpaper in settings, and u can automate all of this with shortcuts. which by itself is awsome. im not an apple sheep. i have 14pro and planning on sticking with it til 17pro/18. but i do give them credits for quality - per say , - over gimmicks
How is breaking the record for thinnest symmetrical bezels, not needing cellular service on a smartphone to text or call, having a two-stage button, and shooting 4K 120FPS in Dolby not innovative? Who else can do all of that in the same phone? Thought so.
@@X-Fantasia are you that stupid or are you trying to sound like one? If you consider Symmetrical bezels an innovation something is wrong with you. Satellite calling and text is already available on pixel, samsung on its next generation devices, action button.... nothing special about it. And about that camera control button it's impressive but it's just a software trickery and I bet you not 90% of the people are not even gonna bother using it.
This sounds to me like a Samsung ad. I have the new iPhone 16 Pro, and I am amazed with his quality, its speed, and even noticed its lighter weight. And, the free telephone service Apple provides is phenomenal. Oh, I forgot to mention the regular software updates. And they too are free.
I have a iPhone XR and before that I had a iPhone 6s I’m now upgrading to iPhone 16 But if you have a 13,14 or 15 upgrading to 16 does not make any sense you must just set down and come back after 3 to 4 years when you almost out of updates.
u do realise that about 98% of the people who buys iphone DOES NOT upgrade every year? there are people who upgrades to every 5-6 years and plus why tf do u care what other people buys? if u dont like apple then alr but hating on people becuase they like it is crazy
Still have my XS Max since 2018 for six years so far and haven’t the need to upgrade or buy. Sure I have dropped my phone several times… (it still functions!) but other than that, I see my parents using newer models and I am not one to judge them but they can do whatever they want.
I think it’s mainly due to the fact that there’s not much more apple or any other phone company can give us innovation wise or new. No one needs thinner. No one needs smaller. I mean the speeds of the connection is there is milliseconds so you can’t do much more than that we can actually tell. Ease of access is pretty much at their limits and allow us to tweak it. I mean the only real thing they could possibly do is keep chipping away at battery, camera translations and durability? Other than that I think they’ve hit the pinnacle. What do you think I’ve missed?
I’d disagree, the iPhone 16 is a great phone with a huge improvement in performance and battery life, along with new Apple Intelligence features that people will actually use. There are great core improvements. We have definitely reached a point where we do not need to upgrade every year, this is a great iPhone for someone with an older model.
I’m a hardcore Apple fan but for the first time I actually tried to look from most people’s prospective. I noticed that although you’re right, the reason most people’s perception of a boring update is that Apple is on its 6th year without a physical change to their pro lineup. 6 years. They could at least try a different design somehow to get us excited. So that’s why the perception of Apple is that they stopped innovating and although it’s not really true, I get it now.
@@tiagomaqzin the pros, 11 to 12 had a huge redesign, 12 to 13 smaller notch and bigger cameras, 13 to 14 Dynamic Island and 48 mp camera, 14 to 15 titanium body and more rounded sides, 15 to 16 bigger and new camera button
@@Kingcommaalex I don’t disagree with you but you put them side by side, they look very very similar. The past 4 até almost identical and that’s what I meant with most people’s perception of no physical update. Perception is different from a fact, but perception drives decisions.
@Kingcommaalex please stop shilling for apple. all these look the same to a layman who doesn't follow these things year in and year out. Slightly better this and slightly better that in slightly bigger body with a slightly different camera design with a slightly different notch. Do you still not get it? Like I know you will come up with some excuse to defend them but whatever they don't care because people like you don't care. But hey keep throwing away your money.
In terms of visual design, I don’t see any problem sticking with the same style (like triple cameras) because there aren’t infinite combinations of camera placement on the back of the phone. Sticking with the same style also gives signature to a phone. That said, while I agree that physical design changes are not that important, I do believe software-wise, Apple is way behind of the competition. Once their executives said, if you want an Android, go buy an Android. But then in the last few years they are introducing Android features in a proud way on stage, like they have innovated them. Examples are lockscreen customizations or very recently control center customization. Overall, at some point, they will have no choice but to keep their software up so that they don’t lose the competition to their Android counterparts!
As someone who owns an s24 ultra, pixel 9 pro xl, and 16 pro max My personal sim stays in the iPhone I don’t want gimmicks in my main phone, I want the most optimised and reliable experience possible, which sure iPhones aren’t perfect, but they apple are simply the best at this. Yes there are weird QOL issues on iPhone, but there are more on android (at least for me) Especially with faceid being objectively more seamless than fingerprint scanners and the amount you have to unlock things like banking apps makes it clearly better I mean look at phonebuff’s test’s
@ the AI is off by default, however whether I’m on Samsung or Apple the AI on both of them is great, it writes emails for me without having to open another app So I just get an iPhone 15 pro max but with a slightly bigger screen, and better battery according to phone buff’s tests AND it’s more durable which is a win imo
I’ve probably had a 80/20 split on smartphones in favour of Apple. So I have tried other flagship phones over the years. And, for me, IPhone is simply better. I’ve built my own pc’s, I’m not a tech illiterate grandad. But I just dont care that I can do more with Android. I don’t care if they innovate more. I couldn’t care less about a folding phone with a crease down the screen( my friends wife had one, it was shit) The IPhone is streamlined and beautiful and does everything I want a phone to do. And I’ll upgrade every 2-3 years by which time the battery is toast anyway so the idea that older phones slow down isn’t an issue. I’m happy with Apple, and I’m not even remotely jealous of anything Android has to offer. Fact is I don’t even think about Android.
Old and stuck in your ways.🤣I bet I am not the first person you heard that from. You cannot even quantify or explain how its nicer, many have switched and many more will. You just hate change good or bad.
Lol. I am chris 6654 and i like iphone too. It is better specifically than Samsung products who are the main competitor of iphone 16 which is better than the android but i dont know anything about the android . Because iphone is more betterer. Despite i dont know things about Samsung except the flipoy ohone which is rubbish because my mum said. My mum is honest like me and i have never been epmpoyed by apple if you are asking .lol.
Agree, In India, many iPhone owners earn significantly less than the cost of the phone, often making only one-eighth of its price. Unfortunately, those without an iPhone are sometimes perceived as poor. It’s a sad reality.
So besides the iPhones quality being far better than the competitor (I use mine for about 7 years at a time before I need a new one) this video leaves out the rest. I work with iPhone, iPad and Mac and each has a unique advantage in my line of work. The fact that they seamlessly integrate with each other way better than any android could do with a Windows PC makes a huge difference to me - that's why I use apple, and I do so without buying the newest devices all the time (iMac 7 years old, MacBook 3 years old, Watch 2 years old, iPhone 5 years, iPad 2 years).
I'm looking at the departure/death statistics and I'm really confused. Seems Apple gaining marketshare in every single first world nation! Methinks someone doth protest too much or sees not the bigger picture.
Tbh I have the iPhone 11 went a wall from a phone for a while and got the brand new iPhone 16 pro and let me tell you.. there is barely any difference aside from clearness, smoothness and the side buttons activator buttons those are kool but tbh I’ll get the max cause the pro is so small but it’s kind of worth it if you have the money but for your sake save up please.❤❤❤
I updated to the 16 pro from the 13 pro. I’m loving it. Way way faster than the 13 and the call quality is so much better. These two things alone made it worth it to me.
You and your type can’t be pleased. First you shat on notch, now you do the same with dynamic island. You’re probably an Android stan motivated by blind hatred
This is not an iPhone problem, it's a smartphone problem. Android competitors haven't been much innovative in recent years as well and I should know: I'm still using a Galaxy S22 with no real reason to upgrade to Samsung's latest. The camera is excellent, the performance is great, the screen is marvelous, and there's nothing on current phones that make it feel obsolete in any way. Now all tech companies try to push AI into their products as the next big thing (and it probably is), but most of features I want from Galaxy AI are already on my S22, and ChatGPT is just an webapp away (nearly all AI models run on the cloud, so you don't need local processing power). Apple is still innovating, albeit you can argue that is innovating less and less. Apple Silicon started a revolution on the desktop and laptop markets. Microsoft released Windows 11 for ARM as Qualcomm unveiled their new and best Snapdragon processors for the PC, and Intel and AMD are desperately improving their chips' energy efficiency to compete with Mac's incredibly reduced energy consumption (and therefore incredible battery life). So yeah, until we see for sure what the next breakthrough is, our new phones will be last year's refresh for a while.
I don't understand why people are saying there's a lack of innovation. Year to year gaps between all smartphones are incredibly small; you're not supposed to upgrade every single year lmao
I just got a new battery into my 3 years old iPhone 11, its still in pristine condition, and my current plan is to use it as long as it turns on. After it will be used as one of the brake pads in my car.
I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and love it.. but just never saw any phone worth upgrading to.. I saw the 16 and even that didn’t catch my interest.. I also have the Apple Watch Series 5 and was let down on the Apple Watch Ultra 2.. I thought a 3 would come out but with better features.. so what I’ve did was just replace the battery on both devices and see if they will last til the iPhone 17th debut. Also let down on the AirPod pro max.. I didn’t wanna get the 3rd gen cause I’m sure the 4th would be better.. but was let down cause all they did was add usb C to it.
It goes just like this illustration: Year 1 - Apple copies itself while competitors introduce something new Year 2 - Apple copies Year 1 iPhone while competitors introduce something new again Year 3 - Apple copies itself with a minimal and marginal updgrade while competitors again innovate Fast forward to Year 5 - Apple adopts and polishes some competitors' innovations from Year 1 while competitors, expectedly, introduce new features again Year 6 - Apple copies previous iPhone while competitors adopt iPhone improvements from Year 5 and sometimes improve them even more, and also introduce new features... and so on...
The “planned obsolescence” attack is so tired. Like dude, I’m sorry your 5 year old phone can’t run brand new software. Apple actually supports products for a long time. They still the support the iPhone X. Basically, it’s like if your phone can’t run the software fast enough, then you don’t get it. It would just frustrate you anyway trying to run brand new software on old hardware even if it technically could run it but slow and inefficiently.
The problem is the raise of required OS to install apps from the App store, Just look at TH-cam for an example, a few months ago, It required iOS 14 to install, now it REQUIRES iOS 15 to install and since app devs wanted to make High quality apps to put in the app store, they'll have to raise the required OS for their apps frequently therefore older iPhones will lose support quick, that's the problem
Not anymore they dont. iOS 18 is already out and the lowest model that is supported is the XS. If you're still on a X you're stuck with 17, which will get one more security update and that's it. Thats not really considered 'supported' moving forward.
My parents upgraded from the 13 to the 16. I upgraded from the XS to the 15 a year ago. I love iPhone, but I realize that they don’t improve much year after year anymore. I’m very happy I’ll get AI on my phone, and that’s why I probably won’t upgrade until the 17 or later, most likely the 18-20. It used to be such that it was worth it to upgrade year after year. Now it only makes sense to do so every few years. Fine by me, saves money.
when will you people realize that this isn't Minecraft? This company doesn't exist to appeal to everybody and bring massive and exciting changes every year. They make upgrades to appeal to those who NEED a new phone. if you have an iPhone 15 already, don't buy the 16. its that simple. apple is a company thriving off of customer attention. they work by gathering those who use their phones regularly and need upgrades after a while. there are always going to be people who need a new phone every so often, it gets old, outdated, and software stops working because of power inefficiencies. apple isn't expected OR required to give you a whole groundbreaking new feature every year. that's why this video is stupid. the whole controversy is stupid. Apple's goal is to appeal to those who need it. yeah, sure, they will have those that come back every year and buy a whole new phone. yeah, sure, it might be a waste of money, but the majority of people that come back are people that have had one of their phones for ages, and need a new one because theirs is underperforming, or it doesn't work with the latest software. their upgrades are incremental and underwhelming because their goal isn't to invent something revolutionary every year, its to improve on what they have. even apple themselves discourages buying a new phone every single year. its pointless! they compare newer models to models from the past. if they compared the 16 pro to the 15 pro, nobody's gonna buy it. this needs to stop, these videos need to stop being made, because all you want is attention and money, and all you are is ungrateful to live in a sophisticated world with advanced technology. be glad you aren't an Egyptian slave thousands of years ago, or had been born during the great depression. what you have is more than enough, so be happy for it.
3:16 I knew very very few people that didn’t use Bluetooth at that time. And I today I know absolutely nobody that uses wired headphones anymore. The benefits of the water resistance outweigh the loss of an audio jack that legitimately a small portion of users were actually using.
Anyone who knew anything about the mobile tech industry should have known years ago that Apple was cutting edge by being the first to move forward here, and set the trend. Complaining about that in 2024 shows someone who has no authority to be making vids on this subject, if I may give my honest opinion.
@@Äpple-pie-5k I agree this video just seems strange. Get the feeling that he’s hated Apple for a long time or had an AI go through Apple hate groups on Reddit and just make a video for him. He’s complaining like a child similar to the way we used to have fights in the lunchroom about the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 being the better console. While he is correct that Apple is not as innovative as it used to be. That’s basically the only thing he’s correct about and even that can be argued. Phones are getting to a point where there’s not much that really needs to be improved besides battery, life, toughness, and thinness and every year that gets better and better.
@@creativeprop540Continual updates with every iPhone model isn’t innovation,Apple have introduced features with iOS 18 ie the ability to customise a feature that has been available on Android for yrs. Also iPhones like 13,13plus,14,14plus still on 60hz refresh rate again a feature on other smart phone manufacturers. Samsung and Motorola have introduced the flip and fold, an Apple flip iPhone would have been innovative.
@@Whizzy-jx3qe iPhone starts the innovation first but doesn't release it until it "just works", this is why often Android claims to be first but it's junk for 3 or 4 years, then Apple does it right, and next year Android copies the right way, almost as good but not QUITE right. I don't know what planet you live on if you don't notice Apple is innovating like a monster recently. The SOC stuff is literally paving the way forward for the entire industry. Even Microsoft is abandoning x86 in 5 years because of it.
@6548ww hands down best comment in this video. No justification for Apple to start or continue such a bad practice. The software of 6or 7 years ago can handle fast enough today’s technology. Apple are a group of incredible people and a bunch of thieves!!!
Apple did that because older batteries couldn’t handle it. I experienced this myself on my iPhone 6. Had to get a new battery because my phone would just shut off randomly. The video makes it sound malicious
The problem is not the phone, it’s the consumers. Growing up, upgrading every year to the latest smartphone was not feasible. We would use the phone for 2-3 years until we would get a new one. Through that, I learned upgrading your phone every single cycle doesn’t make you appreciate what you’re getting as much. For me, I’ll be upgrading my 13 pro to the 16 pro and it will be amazing!
We use an iPhone for about 5 years, sometimes 6, before upgrading. It’s always a huge jump and feels worthwhile. Upgrading every year, even after 2 years, doesn’t make any sense to me.
You’re complaining about pretty much every man made object in history. Of course you will see massive improvements at the start of milestones and of course you can expect stagnation until a new breakthrough. For example, people were using horses to get around for thousands of years until the car was invented then an explosion of innovation from a slow cart to a sophisticated machine. But has there been a big improvement over 20 years ago? Not really. Electronic car are new but they are still a novelty compared to a standard car. Farming, started out as people working in a field to grow a meager amount of food until tractors and science came along and now we are able to feed billions. Pretty much everything man has made follows the same path , phones are hardly a drop in the ocean comparatively. They are in the stagnation phase, every year things get just a little bit better and so on. And apple is a greedy company just like all the other companies so of course they want you to buy new instead of keeping the old. You might as well of said the second gen iPhone was a huge letdown and things went downhill from there. They already used a touchscreen on a slab form factor, and next year they came out with the same design. So boring and safe, try thinking outside the box.
What? He literally explained how older iPhones had HUGE innovations, half the video literally praises Apple past products. And he's not complaining, the criticisms he expressed are factual and objective and many shares the same opinions about it. He didn't say iPhone 16 is WORSE than previous iPhones, that would be literally false because it has small improvements, but he said how the minimal changes aren't worth the price (and everyone agrees) and aren't innovative as they used to be in the past, while Android keeps experimenting new ideas and features. You then wrote an essay comparing phone advancements to literal men discovering fire, what??? They're totally different worlds, the comparison with cars is also pointless. If there's a Car X that costs $3000 and an older Car X that costs $2800, I'd pick the newest but if I already have it I'd either get a better car or stick with it. If someone NEVER had an iPhone and has enough money, it makes just sense to start with the latest best iPhone. If someone already has a 14/15 and doesn't work in tech, then it's an useless purchase.
@@dubbyplays Except he calls android phones innovative while the examples he gave were stupid. How is "Slow-mo recording" innovative when virtually every phone has it? He doesn't understand tech and this video demonstrates that.
Samsung foldable phones are good now though. Don't knock Samsung till you try it. I had an 11 and recently got an s24 ultra. Samsung has some good software features apple doesn't and I get work done faster just because of their features like circle to search and their split screen. I like apple but Samsung is better than them rn
As a person who stopped at the XS max, i saw the 16 and went “oh wow look, an X but with a bigger camera”, i always thought if i were to upgrade if i should stay at apple or switch to android, but seeing the XS max have insane performance issues just from updating to ios18 it went from perfectly fine to an irreversible loss of performance, its sad to see and made me decide my next upgrade would be to android.
The argument that Apple users are "sheep" and "not technical" is getting kinda old at this point. People use Apple products because they're reliable, powerful, and easy to use. They're compatible with other Apple devices and products and they hold their value. You don't need to buy a new one every single year because it's just going to be a specs upgrade with a few new features. People might "upgrade" because they are technical people and want the latest and greatest at all times, but this isn't the majority of people. Even the newest version of iOS is supported on devices as old as the iPhone XR which came out in 2018. The argument that the loss of Steve Jobs is the reason why Apple isn't innovative anymore is also not true. Steve Jobs was an innovator, in the sense that he would take an already existing idea and make it better... innovation. The iPod wasn't new, the iPhone wasn't new, the iMac wasn't new, and the iPad wasn't new. What was new was the creation of the iTunes Store and the App Store which hadn't been done before. Apple had years of a head start and monopolies in both music and applications. Other than that, Steve would just take shots and see what would stick. Everyone acts like Steve didn't have some really dumb ideas and badly designed and overpriced products (The horrendous hockey puck mouse, the original Apple TV, etc.) when Tim Cook takes the same risks and they flop, they criticize Apple for having the same success as Jobs, which makes no sense. Just look at how Steve Jobs left the Apple TV product line and how Cook "innovated" a dead product to make it what it is today. TLDR; The iPhone doesn't need to reinvent smart phones every year. The same way that Toyota doesn't re-invent Camry every year. They are making small changes every year to an already established product which is the literally definition of "innovate".
Apple drones are so dumb holy shit. You say that iphones are easy to use and then you say that iphone people AREN’T less technical lmaoooo I bet you’re american aren’t you
iPhone 17 will cost $1499 (tax excluded) and have the same stats except...: a +2MP better camera and custom emojis, YAAAAY innovatiooon! 🥳 Meanwhile Android on their way to invent holographic bracelets phones: 🗿
No, it applies now the same as before. Any phone over $500 phone is usually as powerful or more than any iPhone, and they are as reliable too. Add to that the additional functionality and you have a far superior product overall. Apple reliability is a myth as great as their software quality. I use iPhone, Android, Mac and PC, and Apple products give me always the worse experience. But, hey, I'm sure I'll get called hater because I use my devices for things more advanced than just opening Photoshop.
To be fair, all smartphones are like this. Pretty much the same designs year after year, introducing features nobody will use, higher prices, and not much of an upgrade compared to the previous few years. Samsung is guilty, Apple is guilty, google is guilty, they’re all guilty. Smartphones have kind of peaked at this point. The only real “innovations” are the foldables but they’re still too fragile for my liking and expensive. At this point it’s just a battle for numbers.
That is so true. My family gets iPhones every couple of years as the older versions are no longer supported, regardless of whether there is innovation. So they dont really need to spend any money on innovation.

Smartphones are already matured to a point where you can't do much to them beyond software and UI changes. Even if you make something like a folding/flip phone, it's another point of mechanical failure after daily use, where a brick won't fail. Also, upgrading every 5-6 years not only saves a lot of money, but you'll feel the changes. Having gone from a Xs Max to a 15PM, the upgrades were tremendous.
I can't remember that the S24 Ultra that I own now had any relevant innovations compared to the S23 Ultra. It's basically the same phone. Biggest change was that Samsung finally dropped the curved screen which has always been a deal breaker.
It comes with AI lol!!
The new glas alone is one of the best Innovations in 10 years I‘ve seen in smartphones. It’s crazy how much better this looks.

@@Carlos94016 Never had an Apple. Have never used the AI of my S24 Ultra. Still pictures suck because the phone is overprocessing them. Screens are all the same. I don't even use the 120 Hz, only 60 Hz because the 120 Hz has zero benefit for me except higher power consumption.
But Apple is very good and so popular for a reason. They stick to the basics and they work perfectly.
Just look at all the "innovations" the Chinese manufacturers came up with in the last 10 years. Many of them vanished shortly after they were introduced because they were unnecessary innovations nobody needs and nobody bought. Just to name you a view.

If you want something easier to get into, probably the Google pixel. If you want an Android that has the most feature-rich offering even though you might not use all of them, Samsung will probably be the choice. But there are plenty more if you really want to look up reviews. There are a lot of great Android phones
Please avoid Chinese spyware phones. People may try to sell you on them because cheaper/different features, but we don't need more spyware in the US. Stick to known good brands. Samsungs are great, also Pixel.

@@makamouhashem4641my 2 year old sub $300 phone has 120hz
It’s clearly not affecting the millions of people who bought the regular iPhone 15 last year. We need to realise that most regular users don’t care about 90hz or 120hz. They just want a phone that works right out of the box, no need for customization, where most of the native default apps can be used for emails, photos and surfing the net.
Admittedly 60hz is arguably old in 2024, though two things to consider: (1) it gives better battery life, (2) the average "non-pro" consumer barely notices a difference and doesn't care, and may prefer longer battery life. So what should Apple do about it? Offer the Pro for $200 more, paying not just $200 for the framerate, but every other deluxe thing that tech-savvy tech-enthusiasts also want, like the Pro chip that lays waste to every other mobile phone in existence, professional level cameras, bigger screen, etc., and so on. Would it be better if they had 18 models where you could pick and choose exactly what you care and don't care about within your affordable range? Maybe, but by doing so you lose economy of scale efficiencies so that every model would then cost more. It's like CostCo, buy 100 and each unit costs 67% less than buying a single unit at the supermarket.
Hope this helped clear it up. You can read the other comment I made if you want to know more about economy of scale and why gradual evolutionary roll out helps economy of scale and is actually pro-consumer. Cheers!

Since then, mostly post IPhone X, they are targeting customers who want to buy iPhones every 4-5 years.
This explains the less new features in every new iphone.
In reality we hit the peak of computer chip technology we cant go beyond 3nm it seems, without it being super expensive this is why they focus on cameras.
Im a truck driver and I had an android phone before where I needed to check maps often while on a call and generally do lots of multi tasking... and the android would just lag! even if its a flag ship its just bugs and lag way too often! So I got my self an iphone and never had a problem ! it does a phone function really well ! thats all I need!
I literally had the opposite experince. Multitasking on iPhone was a headache for me, until I got a Galaxy
@@MrTweezawhich iPhone you had ?
He must have used cheap android😂
And iphone had multitasking 🙈😁😁

You just cant say android phone. I hate when apple uneducated fanboys says android. Andoird is a operating system, not a phone. Now, if you bought 200-400 (maybe 500) phone, ofcourse multitasking gonna lag (unless you have Oneplus). If you bought phone with maybe same price range as iphone, multitasking is no problem at all. (recommended for driving is oneplus open).
how do you have only 2.5 thousand subscribers, 17 seconds in and this video looks great !!!!
Been an iPhone user all my life and lost my iPhone 15 pro. First time ever losing a phone. So I had to upgrade to 16 pro. And not gonna lie I’m happy with the upgrade. The speakers sound better; it feels snappier. And it just seems to last a lot longer even when not in low power mode. I only need to charge it towards the end of the night.
It was clear that Apple had lost direction when they celebrated new colours as a major innovation.
Apple people like to say Apple is smooth and Android isn’t and for most part Apple is smooth but I’ve had it be not so smooth as well I’ve had a better experience with Androids being smoother and overall better. And yes I’ve had a iPhone all the way back to the iPhone 4 and I always go back to android cause for me it’s easier than Apple to use and it’s not closed off. Apple people always claim they don’t need features that are on Android but when it gets on Apple everyone gets on TH-cam and starts saying how great it is like when Android started getting bigger phones what I heard was we don’t need a big phone or oled screens we are good with lcd or widgets we don’t need widgets or being able to move icons we don’t need that. I say keep fooling yourselves I’m honest to myself I gave Apple a very good try for years and to me my opinion Android is just better.
If they gave me the latest iPhone model I'd sell it to buy 2 Androids 🗿
Unfortunately it applies to computers too. What Mac users call "good interface" I call a mess that also lacks functionality. I mean, they just added a tiling window manager, in 2024!
I'm any case, they won't learn. They believe in the brand as if it were some kind of God.
I genuinely don't understand what kind of yearly innovations people expect from the this 18th gen iphone. The claim that apple used to innovate is not quite accurate as they has the s-series in the past that usually just got minor features. Remember that the main feature of the iphone 7 was ip68 rating and the lack of a headphone jack.
And its not even true that iphones get no innovate features anymore. Magsafe, precision airtag location, satellite communication and crash detection are genuinely new and useful features that apple introduced.
Extremely biased video... Isn't it true for the whole smartphone market? The whole industry is in a stall when it comes to the innovation.

There’s not much more you can do to a phone other than the camera. If Apple makes a flip phone that would be something different. They need to stop making a new model every yr.
It’s the fact that they refuse to get rid of that dynamic island 😂
It helps them keep a quicker pace on tech evolutions and leadership. Think of each year as a half-model upgrade. You know like 3 to 3GS, or 4 to 4S, etc. Sure I can see complaining about the new model naming but a name is just a name after all.

The main reason I still use Apple products, is the resale and longevity of their products. I still have an iPhone 8 as my main phone, and it still runs and works fine.

your video was so good even tho i already new some of the things the video had to show i ended up watching it completly because of how well made and hard effort you put to it, keep going!!!, please make a video of samsung and it´s lack of innovation now a days, coping the design of other companies for their new products😁
I'd often imagine how would Steve Job's version of iPhone 16 would look like if he was alive
im not a one for negetive comment. but i disagree, and find this vid kinda just being overall negetive on apple for the sake of them playing it "safe". i started on Samsung. and moved and stuck with apple becuase they made everything work together smoothly. not just the ecosystem. but the products by themselves. people don't need gimmicks n shit. no need to reinvent the wheel with stuff no one will need just for the sake of new things. they make thier stuff work the best they can - and now its mostly software anyways which is good for us consumers. AOD on iphone is the best i've seen implemented, and all they did is wait and refine the idea of it before making it to an actual feature. yes samsung had the 'wow' factor first. but apple made it look apart of the system. and not a gimmick
Exactly
Some things Apple has improved on but some stuff they did a crappy job at aod has been better on Androids forever I had many iPhones never used the aod cause to me it sucks there are really no options just on and off but this is my opinion.
@@techierg1862 Tip: :) if u set on low power mode the AOD is like samsung where its no wallpaper. and u can toggle wallpaper in settings, and u can automate all of this with shortcuts. which by itself is awsome. im not an apple sheep. i have 14pro and planning on sticking with it til 17pro/18. but i do give them credits for quality - per say , - over gimmicks
The video is not wrong per se Apple could have introduced fingerprint scan much sooner as well as 120h display.
Then the price shouldnt grow like cancer.
Price and tech should be proportionate.
How is breaking the record for thinnest symmetrical bezels, not needing cellular service on a smartphone to text or call, having a two-stage button, and shooting 4K 120FPS in Dolby not innovative? Who else can do all of that in the same phone?
Thought so.
Aside from the 4k 120, none of them can be barely called innovative.
@@crimson414 If that’s so, then it would be easy to name just one phone that can do all of that at.

@@X-Fantasia are you that stupid or are you trying to sound like one? If you consider Symmetrical bezels an innovation something is wrong with you. Satellite calling and text is already available on pixel, samsung on its next generation devices, action button.... nothing special about it. And about that camera control button it's impressive but it's just a software trickery and I bet you not 90% of the people are not even gonna bother using it.
Most people found theselves trapped if they have other apple device like iwatch or airpod. Now they need to think twice before moving to other phones.
Another nice marketing strategy. Apple ecosystem won't let users to buy the competition without compelling them to make big sacrifices
This sounds to me like a Samsung ad. I have the new iPhone 16 Pro, and I am amazed with his quality, its speed, and even noticed its lighter weight. And, the free telephone service Apple provides is phenomenal. Oh, I forgot to mention the regular software updates. And they too are free.
Um, nothing unique there. Of course software updates are regular and free.
I have a iPhone XR and before that I had a iPhone 6s I’m now upgrading to iPhone 16
But if you have a 13,14 or 15 upgrading to 16 does not make any sense you must just set down and come back after 3 to 4 years when you almost out of updates.
All Apple has to do is change the name of an old phone to a new one and people still buy it.
Don’t forget recycling the camera orientation😹
Your speaking facts
u do realise that about 98% of the people who buys iphone DOES NOT upgrade every year? there are people who upgrades to every 5-6 years and plus why tf do u care what other people buys? if u dont like apple then alr but hating on people becuase they like it is crazy
I already know the camera button is going to fuck me up while I’m playing a video game or watching yt vids
hard click to activate if I’m not wrong? don’t think you can even accidentally click that hard on that area
Funny how most people are disabling this feature and apple was hyping it up so bad for it to flop
Not much more you can do with a phone bro.

Folding phones: 🗿
@@dislikebotfolding phones rlly dont do anything theyre just a gimmick
Still have my XS Max since 2018 for six years so far and haven’t the need to upgrade or buy. Sure I have dropped my phone several times… (it still functions!) but other than that, I see my parents using newer models and I am not one to judge them but they can do whatever they want.
I think it’s mainly due to the fact that there’s not much more apple or any other phone company can give us innovation wise or new. No one needs thinner. No one needs smaller. I mean the speeds of the connection is there is milliseconds so you can’t do much more than that we can actually tell. Ease of access is pretty much at their limits and allow us to tweak it.
I mean the only real thing they could possibly do is keep chipping away at battery, camera translations and durability? Other than that I think they’ve hit the pinnacle.
What do you think I’ve missed?
I will never buy an iPhone because Android offers more and more innovative options.😊😊
And by a country mile. Apple-marketing slaves may never experience that though. Too bad too sad.
@@lolly_bread what?
Why call it sad. It just means they've become so confident they thought they can stay on top.
I’d disagree, the iPhone 16 is a great phone with a huge improvement in performance and battery life, along with new Apple Intelligence features that people will actually use. There are great core improvements. We have definitely reached a point where we do not need to upgrade every year, this is a great iPhone for someone with an older model.
I’m a hardcore Apple fan but for the first time I actually tried to look from most people’s prospective. I noticed that although you’re right, the reason most people’s perception of a boring update is that Apple is on its 6th year without a physical change to their pro lineup. 6 years. They could at least try a different design somehow to get us excited. So that’s why the perception of Apple is that they stopped innovating and although it’s not really true, I get it now.
@@tiagomaqzin the pros, 11 to 12 had a huge redesign, 12 to 13 smaller notch and bigger cameras, 13 to 14 Dynamic Island and 48 mp camera, 14 to 15 titanium body and more rounded sides, 15 to 16 bigger and new camera button
So the idea of no physical change is just wrong
@@Kingcommaalex I don’t disagree with you but you put them side by side, they look very very similar. The past 4 até almost identical and that’s what I meant with most people’s perception of no physical update. Perception is different from a fact, but perception drives decisions.
@Kingcommaalex please stop shilling for apple. all these look the same to a layman who doesn't follow these things year in and year out. Slightly better this and slightly better that in slightly bigger body with a slightly different camera design with a slightly different notch. Do you still not get it? Like I know you will come up with some excuse to defend them but whatever they don't care because people like you don't care. But hey keep throwing away your money.
In terms of visual design, I don’t see any problem sticking with the same style (like triple cameras) because there aren’t infinite combinations of camera placement on the back of the phone. Sticking with the same style also gives signature to a phone. That said, while I agree that physical design changes are not that important, I do believe software-wise, Apple is way behind of the competition. Once their executives said, if you want an Android, go buy an Android. But then in the last few years they are introducing Android features in a proud way on stage, like they have innovated them. Examples are lockscreen customizations or very recently control center customization. Overall, at some point, they will have no choice but to keep their software up so that they don’t lose the competition to their Android counterparts!
As someone who owns an s24 ultra, pixel 9 pro xl, and 16 pro max
My personal sim stays in the iPhone
I don’t want gimmicks in my main phone, I want the most optimised and reliable experience possible, which sure iPhones aren’t perfect, but they apple are simply the best at this. Yes there are weird QOL issues on iPhone, but there are more on android (at least for me)
Especially with faceid being objectively more seamless than fingerprint scanners and the amount you have to unlock things like banking apps makes it clearly better
I mean look at phonebuff’s test’s
You don't want gimmicks so you went with the iPhone with AI half released garbage.
@ the AI is off by default, however whether I’m on Samsung or Apple the AI on both of them is great, it writes emails for me without having to open another app
So I just get an iPhone 15 pro max but with a slightly bigger screen, and better battery according to phone buff’s tests AND it’s more durable which is a win imo
I’ve probably had a 80/20 split on smartphones in favour of Apple. So I have tried other flagship phones over the years. And, for me, IPhone is simply better. I’ve built my own pc’s, I’m not a tech illiterate grandad. But I just dont care that I can do more with Android. I don’t care if they innovate more. I couldn’t care less about a folding phone with a crease down the screen( my friends wife had one, it was shit) The IPhone is streamlined and beautiful and does everything I want a phone to do. And I’ll upgrade every 2-3 years by which time the battery is toast anyway so the idea that older phones slow down isn’t an issue. I’m happy with Apple, and I’m not even remotely jealous of anything Android has to offer. Fact is I don’t even think about Android.

Agree, In India, many iPhone owners earn significantly less than the cost of the phone, often making only one-eighth of its price. Unfortunately, those without an iPhone are sometimes perceived as poor. It’s a sad reality.
Is it the import tax or something
i got the iphone 16pro and im so happy with it but yeah i wont be upgrading until the iphone 17air comes out
So besides the iPhones quality being far better than the competitor (I use mine for about 7 years at a time before I need a new one) this video leaves out the rest. I work with iPhone, iPad and Mac and each has a unique advantage in my line of work. The fact that they seamlessly integrate with each other way better than any android could do with a Windows PC makes a huge difference to me - that's why I use apple, and I do so without buying the newest devices all the time (iMac 7 years old, MacBook 3 years old, Watch 2 years old, iPhone 5 years, iPad 2 years).

I agree. That pill is ugly af. I also am sticking with phones that have headphone jacks for as long as I can.
This is not an iPhone problem, it's a smartphone problem. Android competitors haven't been much innovative in recent years as well and I should know: I'm still using a Galaxy S22 with no real reason to upgrade to Samsung's latest. The camera is excellent, the performance is great, the screen is marvelous, and there's nothing on current phones that make it feel obsolete in any way. Now all tech companies try to push AI into their products as the next big thing (and it probably is), but most of features I want from Galaxy AI are already on my S22, and ChatGPT is just an webapp away (nearly all AI models run on the cloud, so you don't need local processing power).
Apple is still innovating, albeit you can argue that is innovating less and less. Apple Silicon started a revolution on the desktop and laptop markets. Microsoft released Windows 11 for ARM as Qualcomm unveiled their new and best Snapdragon processors for the PC, and Intel and AMD are desperately improving their chips' energy efficiency to compete with Mac's incredibly reduced energy consumption (and therefore incredible battery life).
So yeah, until we see for sure what the next breakthrough is, our new phones will be last year's refresh for a while.
I don't understand why people are saying there's a lack of innovation. Year to year gaps between all smartphones are incredibly small; you're not supposed to upgrade every single year lmao
I just got a new battery into my 3 years old iPhone 11, its still in pristine condition, and my current plan is to use it as long as it turns on. After it will be used as one of the brake pads in my car.
I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and love it.. but just never saw any phone worth upgrading to.. I saw the 16 and even that didn’t catch my interest.. I also have the Apple Watch Series 5 and was let down on the Apple Watch Ultra 2.. I thought a 3 would come out but with better features.. so what I’ve did was just replace the battery on both devices and see if they will last til the iPhone 17th debut. Also let down on the AirPod pro max.. I didn’t wanna get the 3rd gen cause I’m sure the 4th would be better.. but was let down cause all they did was add usb C to it.
It goes just like this illustration:
Year 1 - Apple copies itself while competitors introduce something new
Year 2 - Apple copies Year 1 iPhone while competitors introduce something new again
Year 3 - Apple copies itself with a minimal and marginal updgrade while competitors again innovate
Fast forward to Year 5 - Apple adopts and polishes some competitors' innovations from Year 1 while competitors, expectedly, introduce new features again
Year 6 - Apple copies previous iPhone while competitors adopt iPhone improvements from Year 5 and sometimes improve them even more, and also introduce new features... and so on...
Year 17 - Tim Apple polishes his knob (the iBone) and enjoys it so much that he forgets to innovate the iPhone.
as we say, innovation in apple died with steve jobs
The “planned obsolescence” attack is so tired. Like dude, I’m sorry your 5 year old phone can’t run brand new software. Apple actually supports products for a long time. They still the support the iPhone X. Basically, it’s like if your phone can’t run the software fast enough, then you don’t get it. It would just frustrate you anyway trying to run brand new software on old hardware even if it technically could run it but slow and inefficiently.
Right like my 12 pro max is just as fast as it ever was. This video is so lazy.
It isn't new hardware though. It's a rehash of a rehash. Every year. Believe it or not, we don't need a "new" phone every year.
The problem is the raise of required OS to install apps from the App store, Just look at TH-cam for an example, a few months ago, It required iOS 14 to install, now it REQUIRES iOS 15 to install and since app devs wanted to make High quality apps to put in the app store, they'll have to raise the required OS for their apps frequently therefore older iPhones will lose support quick, that's the problem
Not anymore they dont. iOS 18 is already out and the lowest model that is supported is the XS. If you're still on a X you're stuck with 17, which will get one more security update and that's it. Thats not really considered 'supported' moving forward.
@@junkiexl86 the X stuck with iOS 16
My parents upgraded from the 13 to the 16. I upgraded from the XS to the 15 a year ago. I love iPhone, but I realize that they don’t improve much year after year anymore. I’m very happy I’ll get AI on my phone, and that’s why I probably won’t upgrade until the 17 or later, most likely the 18-20. It used to be such that it was worth it to upgrade year after year. Now it only makes sense to do so every few years. Fine by me, saves money.
when will you people realize that this isn't Minecraft? This company doesn't exist to appeal to everybody and bring massive and exciting changes every year. They make upgrades to appeal to those who NEED a new phone. if you have an iPhone 15 already, don't buy the 16. its that simple.
apple is a company thriving off of customer attention. they work by gathering those who use their phones regularly and need upgrades after a while. there are always going to be people who need a new phone every so often, it gets old, outdated, and software stops working because of power inefficiencies. apple isn't expected OR required to give you a whole groundbreaking new feature every year. that's why this video is stupid. the whole controversy is stupid.
Apple's goal is to appeal to those who need it.
yeah, sure, they will have those that come back every year and buy a whole new phone. yeah, sure, it might be a waste of money, but the majority of people that come back are people that have had one of their phones for ages, and need a new one because theirs is underperforming, or it doesn't work with the latest software.
their upgrades are incremental and underwhelming because their goal isn't to invent something revolutionary every year, its to improve on what they have. even apple themselves discourages buying a new phone every single year. its pointless! they compare newer models to models from the past. if they compared the 16 pro to the 15 pro, nobody's gonna buy it.
this needs to stop, these videos need to stop being made, because all you want is attention and money, and all you are is ungrateful to live in a sophisticated world with advanced technology. be glad you aren't an Egyptian slave thousands of years ago, or had been born during the great depression. what you have is more than enough, so be happy for it.

While he is correct that Apple is not as innovative as it used to be. That’s basically the only thing he’s correct about and even that can be argued. Phones are getting to a point where there’s not much that really needs to be improved besides battery, life, toughness, and thinness and every year that gets better and better.

@@6548ww they don’t do that anymore. the phones eventually slow down as the software requires more and more processing power
@6548ww hands down best comment in this video. No justification for Apple to start or continue such a bad practice. The software of 6or 7 years ago can handle fast enough today’s technology. Apple are a group of incredible people and a bunch of thieves!!!
Apple did that because older batteries couldn’t handle it. I experienced this myself on my iPhone 6. Had to get a new battery because my phone would just shut off randomly. The video makes it sound malicious
The problem is not the phone, it’s the consumers. Growing up, upgrading every year to the latest smartphone was not feasible. We would use the phone for 2-3 years until we would get a new one. Through that, I learned upgrading your phone every single cycle doesn’t make you appreciate what you’re getting as much. For me, I’ll be upgrading my 13 pro to the 16 pro and it will be amazing!
We use an iPhone for about 5 years, sometimes 6, before upgrading. It’s always a huge jump and feels worthwhile. Upgrading every year, even after 2 years, doesn’t make any sense to me.
Bought a 15 Pro Max instead. Save a boatload of money and no need to struggle to get stock in South Africa.

You’re complaining about pretty much every man made object in history. Of course you will see massive improvements at the start of milestones and of course you can expect stagnation until a new breakthrough. For example, people were using horses to get around for thousands of years until the car was invented then an explosion of innovation from a slow cart to a sophisticated machine. But has there been a big improvement over 20 years ago? Not really. Electronic car are new but they are still a novelty compared to a standard car. Farming, started out as people working in a field to grow a meager amount of food until tractors and science came along and now we are able to feed billions. Pretty much everything man has made follows the same path , phones are hardly a drop in the ocean comparatively. They are in the stagnation phase, every year things get just a little bit better and so on. And apple is a greedy company just like all the other companies so of course they want you to buy new instead of keeping the old. You might as well of said the second gen iPhone was a huge letdown and things went downhill from there. They already used a touchscreen on a slab form factor, and next year they came out with the same design. So boring and safe, try thinking outside the box.
What?
He literally explained how older iPhones had HUGE innovations, half the video literally praises Apple past products. And he's not complaining, the criticisms he expressed are factual and objective and many shares the same opinions about it. He didn't say iPhone 16 is WORSE than previous iPhones, that would be literally false because it has small improvements, but he said how the minimal changes aren't worth the price (and everyone agrees) and aren't innovative as they used to be in the past, while Android keeps experimenting new ideas and features.
You then wrote an essay comparing phone advancements to literal men discovering fire, what??? They're totally different worlds, the comparison with cars is also pointless. If there's a Car X that costs $3000 and an older Car X that costs $2800, I'd pick the newest but if I already have it I'd either get a better car or stick with it. If someone NEVER had an iPhone and has enough money, it makes just sense to start with the latest best iPhone. If someone already has a 14/15 and doesn't work in tech, then it's an useless purchase.
@@dubbyplays Except he calls android phones innovative while the examples he gave were stupid. How is "Slow-mo recording" innovative when virtually every phone has it? He doesn't understand tech and this video demonstrates that.
I’ll take refined features that work and are perfected over gimmicky garbage like foldables
Samsung foldable phones are good now though. Don't knock Samsung till you try it. I had an 11 and recently got an s24 ultra. Samsung has some good software features apple doesn't and I get work done faster just because of their features like circle to search and their split screen. I like apple but Samsung is better than them rn
The gimmicky you mean like shutter button on ip 16 ? Or the "apple intelegence" which is just a gemini and chatgpt rebranding?
I was exaclty like you until I bought a Samsung
You do know parts of apple are samsung and sony 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
An answer that every typical isheep would give to excuse apples laziness, keep throwing away your money
Biggest jump was to the 5s with the 64 bit architecture then followed the 10 with the Face ID
As a person who stopped at the XS max, i saw the 16 and went “oh wow look, an X but with a bigger camera”, i always thought if i were to upgrade if i should stay at apple or switch to android, but seeing the XS max have insane performance issues just from updating to ios18 it went from perfectly fine to an irreversible loss of performance, its sad to see and made me decide my next upgrade would be to android.
Buy one of the base model iPhone 16s and be one of the last people on the planet with a 60 Hz screen.
Or don't buy it and let the sales of base model fail so Apple would release base model next year with 90 or 120 Hz )
And don’t forget usb-c that has usb 2 speed. What a joke!
@@VisualGameDev90 hz is not justified
Apple fanboys will still defend this somehow
@@SuperDuperSeb yea ,its the pro version that does not have a greaT BATTERY LIFE SO 60Hz CAN improve battery y a little
The argument that Apple users are "sheep" and "not technical" is getting kinda old at this point. People use Apple products because they're reliable, powerful, and easy to use. They're compatible with other Apple devices and products and they hold their value. You don't need to buy a new one every single year because it's just going to be a specs upgrade with a few new features. People might "upgrade" because they are technical people and want the latest and greatest at all times, but this isn't the majority of people. Even the newest version of iOS is supported on devices as old as the iPhone XR which came out in 2018.
The argument that the loss of Steve Jobs is the reason why Apple isn't innovative anymore is also not true. Steve Jobs was an innovator, in the sense that he would take an already existing idea and make it better... innovation. The iPod wasn't new, the iPhone wasn't new, the iMac wasn't new, and the iPad wasn't new. What was new was the creation of the iTunes Store and the App Store which hadn't been done before. Apple had years of a head start and monopolies in both music and applications. Other than that, Steve would just take shots and see what would stick. Everyone acts like Steve didn't have some really dumb ideas and badly designed and overpriced products (The horrendous hockey puck mouse, the original Apple TV, etc.) when Tim Cook takes the same risks and they flop, they criticize Apple for having the same success as Jobs, which makes no sense. Just look at how Steve Jobs left the Apple TV product line and how Cook "innovated" a dead product to make it what it is today.
TLDR; The iPhone doesn't need to reinvent smart phones every year. The same way that Toyota doesn't re-invent Camry every year. They are making small changes every year to an already established product which is the literally definition of "innovate".
Apple drones are so dumb holy shit. You say that iphones are easy to use and then you say that iphone people AREN’T less technical lmaoooo
I bet you’re american aren’t you
iPhone 17 will cost $1499 (tax excluded) and have the same stats except...: a +2MP better camera and custom emojis, YAAAAY innovatiooon! 🥳
Meanwhile Android on their way to invent holographic bracelets phones: 🗿
@@dubbyplaystrash ragebait you got no victims bro
@@dubbyplays thats just rumors at this point. nothing confirmed yet
No, it applies now the same as before. Any phone over $500 phone is usually as powerful or more than any iPhone, and they are as reliable too. Add to that the additional functionality and you have a far superior product overall.
Apple reliability is a myth as great as their software quality. I use iPhone, Android, Mac and PC, and Apple products give me always the worse experience. But, hey, I'm sure I'll get called hater because I use my devices for things more advanced than just opening Photoshop.
To be fair, all smartphones are like this. Pretty much the same designs year after year, introducing features nobody will use, higher prices, and not much of an upgrade compared to the previous few years. Samsung is guilty, Apple is guilty, google is guilty, they’re all guilty. Smartphones have kind of peaked at this point. The only real “innovations” are the foldables but they’re still too fragile for my liking and expensive. At this point it’s just a battle for numbers.
Not Samsung. 😂 We're looking at you Apple guys and screaming.
It’s the fact that they refuse to get rid of that dynamic island 😂
@@newagehero9605 and getting rid of everything else ram included.
@@ramonkroutz brother Samsung phones have looked similar for like four years now. I’m not an Apple fan either.
@@botanicalchaos but what we get inside is incredible
I have a 12 pro max and will be upgrading. A 4 year jump in technology seems a no brainer. Plus the camera now seems to be lacking on the 12.
iphone cameras havent gotten that much better from the 12. dont waste your money
That is so true. My family gets iPhones every couple of years as the older versions are no longer supported, regardless of whether there is innovation. So they dont really need to spend any money on innovation.
Yeh I really love the Apple Fold, Apple Flip & Apple Ring.... oh wait :D
Samsung are years ahead of Apple. Period.
WHO TF uses a Flip? Flip is the dumbest thing ever, it's a normal phone just worse. The flip is so good that I find it for 700 bucks used after it costs 2000 dollars new, the ring has to be 50 bucks to be appealing
@@Hypocrisy.Allergic I have the Samsung Flip 6 and it's the best phone I've ever had (since the early 90's).
If you don't have one you don't know, ergo you should sit down and shut the fuck up sunshine.
Pointless innovation for the sake of innovation, the definition of “tacticool” in tech world
Fluidity and seamless experience
Only android ui is messing up
actually thats apple, Apple gesture is not consistent sometimes you have to click on the back arrow on app, and sometimes you dont have to. On Android all is universal and its easiy
@@mangkoeboemieThat’s not what he meant by seamless.
No issues with my s24 base model it's snappy smooth and has been great. It's my first galaxy coming from iPhones . I had a 12 13 and 15 and by far this phone has been way more fun and better and 95% of things. Split screen 120 adaptive refresh great battery runs cool AOD side panel umbrella key board with numbers and translate and on and on. Now iam comparing s24 base with the 12 13 15 base iPhone I've owned. Never had pro so idk on tjat.
Apple has done nothing to innovate or improve since the iPhone 10.
there's plenty new things with iphone 16 and here's what's new... 120fps slow mo video capture on 4K, all new studio 4 mics for clean crisp calls and video and audio capture, all new bigger 6.9inch screen so u can do more and see more, bigger battery for longer lasting iPhone yet, 3 all new lenses for even better photography, all new capture sensitive touch button now u can click to take that pic w heptic feedback, USB C 3 which means faster data speeds and faster charging speeds, faster wireless charging, all new A18 Pro chip for more powerful gaming and better battery extension, all new Apple Intelligence so now Siri goes beyond ur standard Al assistant, texture matte glass . there changes like these to every single generation of iPhone. What more could you possibly want? For God sake greedy people simple for a Samsung 24 ultra that has nothing new
It's still a worthwhile update for those with iPhone 13 or older, but those with the 14 or 15 can most likely wait until the iPhone 17. I use both the S23 and the iPhone 13 Pro Max regularly and I like the customization of Android, but I feel iOS is more solid with less bugs and I trust banking apps more on the iPhone then on Android. That being said, I like Android auto better then Carplay.
iPhone just got (after 17 years) a pause button to video recordings 😂😂😂
