Steve Jobs' Daughter Shares Then Deletes Meme Mocking iPhone 14's Modest Upgrades

[MacRumors]

Following Apple's "Far out" event that included the launch of the updated iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, Steve Jobs' daughter Eve Jobs took to her Instagram to share a meme mocking the new iPhones as basically unchanged compared to last year's iPhone 13.

The meme is a popular one showing a man holding up a gifted shirt identical to one he's already wearing. Jobs captioned the meme with "Me upgrading from ‌iPhone 13‌ to ‌iPhone 14‌ after Apple's announcement today," sharing it with her nearly half a million followers yesterday before deleting it.

The meme is sparked by customers' belief that the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus feature FEW changes compared to the iPhone 13 and do not represent a worthwhile upgrade. The 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus feature the same chip found in the iPhone 13 Pro, which comes with an additional GPU-core compared to the standard iPhone 13 models.

Other than a slight boost in performance, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus benefit from new camera features, including autofocus on the front-facing camera and improved low-light performance. On the iPhone 14 Plus, thanks to the larger size, customers will get the best battery life ever in any iPhone.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will be available for pre-order on Friday, September 9, and the iPhone 14 will be available next week, Friday, September 16. The larger iPhone 14 Plus will begin arriving to customers on Friday, October 7.

Clearly she's never been to Dynamic Island.

 

[ELman]

I sure she can afford the pro model.

 

[rushium]

this is such an L for apple

 

[MayaUser]

this is the feeling...iphone 14 should start $699 since its an 90% iphone 13 and discontinue the 13
Its first time that Apple dont upgrade SoC with a brand new one
Whats next? Apple will change only the colours and ask the same starting price as the last gen ?!
Careful how you vote the future with your wallets

I would argue that who her father is has no bearing on the value of her opinion, especially when it comes to this. And you know what they say about opinions…

 

[DotCom2]

Sounds like she has issues.

 

[Poppaduck]

Sounds like she has issues.

Sounds like she’s bored and wants to stir the pot a little

 

[LeadingHeat]

Satellite connectivity anyone? Crash detection? Brighter display? Always on display? Bluetooth LE? Those are just a few things that this article fails to include in addition to the amazing camera upgrades and the dynamic island ingenuity.

Doesn’t her mother own $$$ billions in Apple shares? Maybe she doesn’t understand that she’s advocating against her own self interest.

 

[zorinlynx]

I kind of agree with her. But then that's always been the case! You don't see much difference upgrading every year. Wait at least 2-3 years between upgrades for it to be worth it.

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

Absolute queen move.

I love the fact when she posted that, Apple's share price conveniently took a hit.

 

[yellowbunny]

Sounds like she has a sense of humour

 

[nStyle]

Could’ve said the same thing about X to XS to 11 to 12 to 13. No one iteration has been that profound in the past 5 years. That’s the symptom of a mature market for a product.

 

[spartan1967]

One thing people keep forgetting. Apple, even with their state of the art proactive planning was hobbled by the chip shortage & supply line issues just like every other company that relies on these factors being available.

 

[v0lume4]

I don’t know why she deleted it. She wasn’t wrong.

here we are talking about the iphone 14 compared to the iphone 13 , what always on display ? did you read the article?

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

I don’t know why she deleted it. She wasn’t wrong.

Apple's stock price took a hit when she did so her mom probably told her to delete it immediately.

 

[NightFlight]

I mean she's not wrong.

Sounds like she has issues.

Because she doesn't like the update she has issues?

Wow.

nope, the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G had the exact same 412 MHz ARM11 processor, both had 128 MB of RAM, both shared identical two megapixel cameras.
As did the 5 and 5C.
As did the iPad sixth generation and seventh generation.
As did the Apple Watch Series 4 and series 5, and again the series 6, seven and eight.
As for Apple keeping the product the same, but just adding new colors, they’ve done this several times.
They used to do it all the time in the iPod shuffle days, shuffling the colors without changing anything about the product.
Most recently, they did this with the iPhone 13, adding Green.

 

[WWPD]

She deleted it soon after...she lacked the COURAGE.

at least a brand new SoC was there....not anymore even that

 

[Andronicus]

I’m upgrading for a 13 pro max and just wanna say….that meme is hilarious. Lol

 

[smorrissey]

That's why she needs to go PROOOOOOOO $$$$ (that's why i wish i could go pro, 13 model here)

But one year happens really fast and iphone 15 with usb c port is around the corner...

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Could've at least used a new meme. I am pretty sure I saw that meme for the iPhone 6 and 6S year.
