You’d hope an iPhone is the best iPhone up to date when it’s released but as we’ve seen for a few years now they are only a little bit better year on year lol.
Got a tip for us?

I stopped watching keynotes. They've lost their magic.
I come here to look up the bulletin points and that's good enough for me.
I guess it helps I'm not longer upgrading yearly.

I mean, what do you expect Apple to say? They *market* what they feel is the ‘best’ product they can release to the consumer and by doing that, they want people to know it’s the ‘best’ by them saying it. That not only applies to Apple, but it applies to a lot of companies that want to sell their product that they claim is the ‘best’ to the customer.
“The worlds most advanced operating system” is pretty funny.
That’s completely subjective of course.

only at an Apple event does the audience applause when Apple announces its added wireless charging or improved the camera.....
Sad really.
Sad really.
I think its tiring, but its not an apple thing. I hear the same thing from any media event. Microsoft has one this week I believe and they'll no doubt say how great their new laptop(s) will be. Its just part of the marketing puffery that occurs on these events.
It will be very very interesting to see how they promote the new Surface Pro, as the leaked hands on video shows it looks exactly the same as the previous models.
It was a joke. This being a light-hearted thread, I thought I would inject some dry humor.

Except ... I was joking.
Remember that Jim Carrey movie Liar Liar? He plays a lawyer who constantly lies, until his son wishes that he would tell the truth for one day. Then he can't stop telling the truth. Imagine Tim Cook:
"I'm so very excited to show you the new iPhone XIV SuperMax. It's really not much different than last year's model, but we really, really want you to buy it. It's got a humongous screen that will be a crapshoot for you to find without some visible flaws. We're going to be launching it with some pretty critical software bugs because we're on a tight deadline to satisfy our investors. But we'll try to come up with a solution if enough people complain. In the meantime, you'll have fun playing games on the phone, which should compensate for the dropped calls and slow network speeds. And now I'd like to have Craig Federighi come out to tell you more because, frankly, he's such a likable guy."
P.S. Dear Tim, I'm just kidding. I like your products.

For some reason this made me think about MS releasing a crappy version of Windows every other release. Just because it's the newest doesn't make it the best.
No, that’s just logic. A year when it’s not the best iPhone would make me worry
What I do find tiring though is “your” instead of “you’re” and similar typos.
Even the smallest improvement makes it their best phone. So it’s true.
What annoys me is that they’re recycling Steve’s formula for presentation. It was his own style and seems insincere in his absence. They need to find a way to make it their own.

Perhaps they want to carry on his legacy by continuing key notes that he formatted a certain way? It’s not exactly how it used to be when he was on stage, but I still think it’s respectful that they have similarities to how he conducted things in the past. Its More a tribute than anything.
