Rip Apple Events...

The more Apple does press releases, the more it makes me think they stopped doing events 😭
Ig this is what they mean about cutting costs.

Wouldn't be surprised if WWDC is a press release as well 😂

Also, iOS 16.4 RC should release today then.

you wanted them to hold an event to announce a new phone color?

Me I am disappointed that just last week we had three rumored products coming out, the Mac Pro, the 15" MBA, and a new color.

We got the new color. Yippee.

Indeed. Unless the Pro lineup really needs a push (and it certainly doesn’t this year), it doesn’t make too much sense to invest in a new color since it’ll only be produced for six more months. The non-Pro on the other hand will likely live for two and a half more years. Though, potentially only in the 6.1” size.
That, and there is already a gold iPhone 14 Pro so I'm thinking a yellow one would be a bit to similar.
 
shut up an take my 1300 €. No just kidding, I had the iPhone 6C yellow, one of my favourite iPhones ever, back when people used to ask me "what iPhone is that" "let me see it" etc.
 
Real image of the Yellow iPhone 14.

This looks nice!

"Hello, is that Tim Cook?
Hi, I called to talk about those color updates, those updates that cost nothing, give Apple free publicity and help you sell more phones. Yeah, you should stop that right now. A dude on the internet, he thinks they're not innovating enough.
Yeah, I suppose he knows that they're not supposed to be functional and that no one ever claimed that.
Yup, I think he also knows that the innovating upgrades are the same as they've always been. I don't know, maybe he fears that the entire R&D budget for 2023 has been allocated to the team who chose that shade of yellow.
Anyway, stop that. I know you make easy money with a new color but... you've heard what that dude says."
Relax man, it was a joke.
 
I like it... Too bad it's not in a mini size, and for that, I will continue to look the other way. Perfectly happy with my white 13 mini anyway.

Maybe a copper or vibrant orange color would have been a nice addition to the Pro lineup, along with this regular 14 yellow, but I guess it would be too niche.
A muted orange iPhone 14 Pro would’ve been a nice looking niche phone and most likely have resulted in more sales than this yellow iPhone 14 given the Pro’s popularity this generation.

this yellow is nice. not deep dark yellow, not pastel yellow. light, but lets see the real deal.
 
The 5C might have been made of plastic, but damn was it a tough plastic.

The problem with that phone definitely wasn't the build quality, it was bad hardware.
And it came out right around 5S. Maybe if it would have been separated by months, it could have sold more.
