As long as people are that dumb to pay ± 70% of the RRP to an 1 year used phone and retailers sell the new one on release day with 15-20% discount here, I see no reason why I shouldn't. You may still criticizes product.
My point is that many people will justify the products getting worse. Just wach the DMA thread how people flame about stuff like side loading, standard apps etc, so basically things they are no even forced to use.
Says who ? In my opinion it is a feature. A smart way to implement a proper FaceID setup.
How can we say today it will be worse ? What if the weight goes down 30 grams thanks to the use of the new alloy ? Just an example…
FOR REAL. It's a way to cope with a massive black hole on the screen.
True it is softer than titanium and steel, but in my case I don't care at all since I always use it with a case (as do most people). I'm more concerned about cracking and denting. I would guess that titanium would be less prone to cracking, but it would depend on the design of course.
This was your point.
You were making a dig at some unknown universe of people who may defend Apples choice of materials. (And this is their right)
Man o man am I happy to see someone else say this. It was pathetic how it was announced as a feature by Apple with the 14 Pro. While it does look cool, it's not a feature.
Of course, they may do whatever they want. But then don't advertise it as an improvement.
One doesn’t know it’s an improvement or not until the reveal. An even then it will be a subjective matter.
iPhone is almost on par with every other smartphone camera in that field. Not the best, nor the worst. Low light photography requires bigger sensors. Something very difficult to put in a phone.
It never is a good idea to upgrade year after year, anyway. A 2 years cycle is wiser… a 3 years even better (but I can hardly wait 3 years TBH).
Stock camera could be better for sure (but most of the users won’t be able to use it anyway), but there is nothing mediocre at all in current iPhone camera setup.
I think they’re pretty devices so I’d never cover them up so to me the colour is pretty important. Like now I have awesome purple with cool effects and last year they came with some kind of sand colour and that was seriously the main reason for me to not upgrade.
Yes and no. Usually when they increase the number of pixels, they also increase the sensor size. Additional pixels sometimes also may help because of that pixel binning algorithm you mentioned, even if the sensor size does not increase significantly.
We were on a 4-year cycle, but this time it will be a 5-year cycle. I've got the 12 Pro Max, but the 17 Pro Max seemed to have most of the upgrades I wanted, that the 16 Pro Max didn't get, so I'm waiting until fall 2025.
I shoot a LOT with my iPhone, have followed courses as well, and I always find some ways to make my pictures look astounding, but I'll have to disagree about the "nothing" part.
