So it got USB-C and replaced the vibrate switch with an "action" button.

Most iterative generation ever?

- Just wait for the replacable battery in the iPhone 16. They'll sell it as an innovation.

  You mean like USB-C?
  
  1
- That’s what everybody has been saying every year since like 2017. New iPhones have always been very iterative apart from a few exceptions.
  
  2
- I suspect if their goal was maybe to make it unattractive to current iPhone owners so they don't switch over to USB-C and maybe the next gen will truly be fully wireless? Would definitely be interesting.

Another step towards interoperability.

That means yet another generation of perfectly viable devices thrown into landfills because planned obsolescence and Must Have New Thing mental conditioning.

- More like thrown into my hand, buy 2nd hand phones folks and tell your friends to too. It’s more economical and ecological.

  Even 2nd hand, these devices are overpriced and still soon-to-be obsolete.

- It would be pretty stupid to throw an iphone in the trash, they sell used like hotcakes

  That's cool and good, but e-waste still happens and it's still a problem, especially when perfectly viable devices are forcibly made obsolete well before they have to be.

The biggest surprise to come out of the event was that the Watch didn't already have UWB.

Boringest Apple event ever.

New Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max? Are they taking a page out of Nintendo's naming manual?

1
- They’ve had iPhone # Pro Max for years now.
  
  iPhone 11 Pro Max in 2019
  
  iPhone 12 Pro Max in 2020
  
  iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2021
  
  iPhone 14 Pro Max in 2022
  
  What’s the point of your complaint?

- But it's not called that?

And it's still a brick, lol.

1
- Looking for a banana?
  
  2
- I'm here wishing more android phones were bricks...
  
  1
- ...with a fugly hole in the display no less.

hmm yes i want my phone to be made of fucking titanium, that sounds cost-effective

-4
- You're not getting an iPhone or any flagship phone for their cost effectiveness

I’m okay with a weak year. Maybe they’ll refine the software more instead of playing catch up to new hardware.

Why it called iPhone 15 ? Why they even change they add a number?

-17
- I mean, I wouldn’t upgrade from my 12 Pro Max, but the battery life alone makes it superior to all previous iterations. I wonder when we will hit a wall on transistor size. It’s gotta be close! Cross talk is already an issue.
