Apple's Three-Year Plan to 'Reinvent' the iPhone is Underway

[svish]

Eagerly looking forward to seeing the foldable. But don't think I will get one if it is going to lack telephoto lens and also not have FaceID. Also very excited to see the changes the 20th anniversary iPhone will bring. An all screen design with FaceID and front camera under the screen will be fantastic.

But if you can't stand nowadays' iPhone sizes, I think you'd be willing to buy an iPhone Mini 18 even if it was a tad to little for your tastes. No?

No, I wouldn’t want to go that small so I’d stick with the pro. I think if the pro is 6.3” and the mini was 5.4”, ideally I’d like something around 5.8-5.9”

At the same time, Apple released the iPhone Air, which is the thinnest iPhone ever.

A media journalist should not continue repeating Apple’s lies. The iPhone Air is 12.32mm thick.

The iPhones 5, 5S, and SE are the thinnest iPhones ever, at 7.6mm.

Not nearly as laggy as my iPhone 7. The A17 CPU benchmarks 32 percent faster in single core.

OS and security updates provided for six years according to Samsung.

I work in the industry and have seen iPhone 7's run better than Galaxy A17s.

Look at the benchmarks tho:

A17 has twice the cores, has a faster clock, twice the RAM, CPU is 5nm (vs 16nm), benchmarks higher in single and multicore, and can run current Android (iPhone stuck on iOS 15). The only area where iPhone 7 scores higher is the GPU, and I do not game on my phones at all.

Samsung software is extremely bad. Just like meta horizon OS! Never again!!!

I don't because I don't like the bulk. I never have. When I switched from my 12 Pro Max to a 17 Pro Max it still looked nearly flawless. (Battery life was pretty bad though...)

And I'm not always worrying about it or anything, I'm just neither careless nor clumsy.

Nor do you leave the house.

Your usage is in outlier territory and therefore doesn’t really matter.

People work with their hands. They are on a job site. They hike. They bike. They go to the beach. They…you know…have lives outside of the house and office…and they aren’t careless or clumsy.

You couldn't be more wrong about the fictitious "me" you are trying to paint, but it doesn't matter. Some people are just more careful with expensive things than others.

If Apple thinks this is “reinventing” the iPhone then I have a very different meaning of that word.

The 17’s were more of the same (the 12 through 17 phones have been pretty much the same tired old design), but the Air was all new. The folding phone is meh, the Android makers have been doing them for years, Apple continues to play catch up. That’s a phone probably very few people will buy anyways.

They still have a chance to do something with the anniversary edition phone. I hope it’s not simply more of the same with a tiny change.

17 Basic is not the same: it was the first basic iPhone to incorporate some Pro features. I "downgraded" from a 15 Pro to a Base 17. I love it. And it is less expensive. I don't care about the cameras and the transfer speed to another device.
