[@PWingert1966]

This is why you should be following the Fibonacci upgrade program. You only upgrade when the model number of the phone matches a Fibonacci number. I have the 13 Pro, I upgraded from the 8 and am waiting until the iPhone 21 and maybe if I live long enough the iPhone 34! This is the best way to spend the least amount to get significant upgrades in a timely fashion and not have to worry about paying excessive sums to get incremental changes on mature products.

[@Olifantenstaart]

Apple lets others do the R&D and charges you the premium when they chuck the innovations on their hardware years down the line.

[@Stellar-Cowboy]

Disagree, they wait for others to make the mistakes so that they can fix them before coming up on their own devices. Makes for slow progress (really too slow) but that’s why they’re the 1/2/3rd (idk) most valuable company and samsung and others are barely there in comparison.

[@onkarlally]

That strategy is why they are one of the most valuable companies on the planet. Their job isn’t to make the most cutting edge phone, it’s to make fat margins by hopping on trends later, meaning they don’t have to deal with a high failure rate when used by consumers or issues in manufacturing. Everyone else works out the kinks and then Apple hops on and rebrands the tech to make it much more appealing (look at how Microsoft tried to push that stupid recall feature that screenshots ur computer once a second, while Apple emphasized the fact that your data isn’t stored anywhere besides your device [which I find really hard to believe]).

@@Jykobe491 if lack of innovation makes your company more valuable than the innovators why tf would u ever try and innovate when someone else will do it for you. Downside of a system built purely to increase profits and shareholder value.

[@Bhethar]

As an iPhone user, having AI baked in my OS sounds like a great reason for not to update. I think AI is cool and all, but having it on a system level where it can see what I do it’s just creepy.

[@IAmConorr]

It can't, Apple Intelligence is essentially just a grown up version of Siri, anything that would go to ChatGPT requires specific permission

[@TheMysteryDriver]

On windows phone Cortana basically did that. It would give you suggestions to add locations to friends lists or maps favorites. It had a aggregator for social media and it could figure out who was the same and create combined contact cards. I didn't really see anything too new that your phone couldn't already do.

[@ericpowell4350]

This is only shows that you don't understand what your phone, it's services, and the internet do and by extension how AI fits in with the aforementioned. Companies already have several hundred data points on you already. This doesn't include the ability by the FBI and NSA's ability to monitor you at any point.

[@Elite.868]

You can disable it entirely if you want

[@bruxi78230]

Actually Apple has been doing many new features including AI for years, since about 2017. They spend a great deal of time making sure to care for your privacy, something others don't care about. In this new flavor of AI called generative, they are doing as many commands of Siri as possible on the phone and store results in your Secure Enclave on the chip. If you have a more complex query, it sends you to a Private Cloud Compute which only answers questions and doesn't store your private data. Their private cloud runs on Apple silicon with a server OS designed by Apple which is quite unique.

[@BetterSubstance]

No, they probably won’t. It feels like they are playing it safe and are not pushing the envelope. Expect them to wait for others to lead the way and then bet on the horse that is most likely to work on a large scale.

[@marvinvogtde]

i mean yeah that skinda apples main strategy let other people be the leaders and watch what they do and were they fail, then put the focus on how they are doing it differently. Best example here is how much of their AI talk is about privacy after it was such a big deal with how Microsoft wanted to do that whole sceenshot your desktop every second or so for AI shit

[@0xCAFEF00D]

@@alanharper23 I'm going to say no. But I'm also going to say that you are not locked into the system as fragmented and as hypnotic as iPhone where you're upgrading simply for upgrading due to the hype. The ecosystem of android is interchangeable. Therefore having the not so latest still affords you to either sideload, or use interchangeably with brands outside Samsung. With Apple, you get what you get and that's that.

[@rufioh]

I don’t think it’s that people don’t want new stuff. It’s more that rising cost of living means people have to be more careful about what they buy, and a new flagship phone is an easy cut for most people. Maybe the economy needs to be rethought to be more functional for the average person. Go back to the days when a single income household could buy a house in 5 years

[@rtothec1234]

Well in my case I already bought a home and I could probably buy the new phones twice or thrice but I will stick with my small iPhone SE simply cause it works and there is no compelling reason to upgrade. It’s the principle of it all: make stuff last. You never get rich if you spend all disposable income on new stuff. Just cause new stuff exists doesn’t make what you already own obsolete. People need to overcome their FOMO and be happy with what they have.

[@TheMysteryDriver]

They brought that up as well in the video.

[@TheMysteryDriver]

Home ownership was lower in those times. Houses were also a lot smaller. 5 year mortgage were last prevalent before the great depression and required 50% down. So really it took years to build up up buy. The time you're thinking of isn't real.

[@SuperSmashDolls]

Apple already had their AI pivot with the iPhone X, which was the first iPhone with neural network acceleration hardware (the "Neural Engine"). It *specifically* was added to support Face ID and then expanded to other AI usecases with later hardware revisions.

[@watchout5508]

The fact the 16 won't be released with the AI just proves these new features are just software and could easily be added by a update to the previous gen...

[@TheMysteryDriver]

The older phone's processors aren't capable enough to handle them. You're basically claiming new video games should run on a SNES.

[@watchout5508]

@TheMysteryDriver what?? Theres a big difference between some AI and literal video games...

[@glyngreen538]

AI is just a band aid to keep calling themselves innovators.

[@hughventer2934]

I’m no longer fighting for Apple. They can but are not trying enough to stay relevant. They’re relying on hardcore fans like me to keep buying their stuff but after the underwhelming "new designs" of the iPhone 16s I feel disrespected as a paying client.

@@hydrohasspoken6227 you know what I mean. When you’re a fan of a musician or in this case Apple, you always try to look at the bright side when people complain, but Apple is making it really hard to agree with their choices by not risking a tad more on physical design.

[@tiagomaqz]

@@hydrohasspoken6227 a consumer’s perception is way more important (to most) than the actual facts to make a choice, and the current perception of Apple is that they don’t innovate anymore. One of the bigger reasons is recycling the same design for 6 years in a roll like they’re doing with the Pro lineup. Had they done something as little as raising the camera bumps (keeping the same shape) like the Pixel S9s, that would make the fone look and feel new without an actual big change to it. What they did was lazy. And this is coming from a hardcore Apple fan who has EVERYTHING Apple.

Everything that I loved about the iPhone prior to switching to android was still the same in a bad way. I felt like Apple has made zero progress meaningful over the last seven years.

Looking at the apps I use that offer mildly less convenience for greater privacy they're not very popular.

[@KalpeshPatel78]

Their own event was unexciting. They didn't offer anything new technically. Fixing Siri is what they should've done in 2013. Putting good cameras should've happened in 2016 and Ai is not even propriety to Apple. Any phone can have Siri.

I didn't even know they still sold Iphones.

[@TLDReconomics]

No

People love new stuff… but I mean… come on, $ 1800 CAD for another same phone (Pro Max), or add a bit of money and get something exciting like maybe Pixel Fold? iPhone have been the same for way too long. And as a beta user, not impressed by Apple Intelligence at all, in many ways it is worse than just using free GPT.

Looks like a ad for apple

[@cesarp6761]

yes you are funding a kickstarter campaing! :p .. for most of the world, getting new feature sometime 'next year' may as well wait for next phone in Sep2025

I can use ChatGPT *without* Apple Intelligence.

I’ve got a 12 Pro Max and I’m upgrading this year I last upgraded from a iPhone 6 to the 12 pro max in 2020 but now I think I will upgrade after 4 years

The underlying problem is Tim Cook …. He has to go! He is making millions every year, but he can’t get AI ready on time ? He releases the same phone year after year … the Vision Pro failed ….what did he accomplish as CEO ? Nothing, it has been nothing but a continuation after Steve passed away …Tim has to go before Apple will suffer the same faith as Nokia & BlackBerry did ….

This push to stuff AI into every inch of our lives is out of control

[@princejaiswal6487]

AI is hype and uselessness 😂

[@xandr4870]

A wholly unimpressive iteration evolution, even more so than previous iterations

[@hogg8984]

iPhone user here. My iPhone 12 is fine, I will upgrade when it dies thanks ☺️

Apple lost all their creatives, do puts and run.

Also, I think it is important to highlight the cobalt scandal and boycott efforts from younger people who have showed how profit hungry and genocidal Apple is. It is directly funding the child slave labour in Congo and has been recently exposed to match donations to genocidal Israeli army under the pretence of charity. I know at least for people my age many of us have decided to not purchase a new phone unless our one is absolutely done for. And that when we do we will buy a second hand/refurbished older version.

Why does he say bell like that?

[@IAmConorr]

Phones are just a very mature product at this stage, you can't expect the same levels of progression YoY that you did a decade ago. Even a decade ago Apple didn't push the boundaries too much with features. People buy iPhones for different reasons, for me (rightly or wrongly) its because I have an iPad, a MacBook, Apple TV etc, it all works together seamlessly, if you're not that engrossed in the "eco-system" then I don't really know why wouldn't shop around a bit, but if I'm being honest, there's not much variety elsewhere for something completely different unless you want a flip/fold phone.

If it was Samsung they’ll just be putting a button and that’s it.
