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

Well duh, most products are incremental updates with the real ground-breaking updates only happening every few years. I mean nobody's expecting an M2 Macbook Pro to be anything other than the current Macbook Pro with a processor upgrade.

Whining that the 14 isn't a huge upgrade from the 13 is the first-worldiest of first-world problems. Maybe you could argue that such an upgrade didn't warrant such a big event, but that's just how marketing works these days.

Guess the same marketing comments and incremental improvements of the iPhone 14 family are finally having an impact with some Apple iPhone fans. Compared to the spontaneity of past events this show was like being stuck in a long meeting. It does raise an interesting question at what point in the iPhone evolution does the technology plateau at? :)

probably when the 11 and 11 pro came out

The Galaxy Fold phones are revolutionary.

And they also prove that "revolutionary" isn't always better too!

Seriously. Is a bigger screen really worth having a great big crease down the middle of the display and a shortened display life?
 
The meme was pretty spot on. Likely she was pressured to remove it.

She's allowed to say anything she wants, stock price be damned.

It's about crapping on your dead father's legacy that paid for your lifestyle and the name alone got her into modeling as she is no model. If she was so unhappy with the product offering, talk with Tim and team behind the scenes versus doing a public "look at me" attention move. I'd put money that someone near her manipulated her to post that tweet because her last name would make it newsworthy and ironic.

It's no less crapping on her father's legacy than Timmy pulling penny pinching tricks for over a decade. Aside from also being right.
 
It is a funny meme and imo true of iPhone 14 regular but I’d probably disagree for Plus and definitely disagree for the Pro models

Ymmv
 
When every computation improves > 10% while power consumption drops > 40% that's a massive improvement, but uneducated people who have no background in applied sciences can never seem to see the forest for the trees.

Eve's Science Technology degree is something only places like Stanford would even bother attempting to pawn off as a degree. It is a part of the Humanities department and it's highest degree is either a Bachelor of Arts or Science.
 
I go to this forum for laughs every time Apple comes out with a new product. I do own an iphone but the fanboys in this forum crack me up. If anyone or anything comes out less than glowing praise for the great God Apple, the defenders of the faith come down extremely hard.

I came over from Android a couple of years ago. I have an Imac and a Macbook. I use Firefox on both because Safari really is hot garbage. I am definitely thinking of going back as I am forced to use Apple's engine on my iphone and it is beyond frustrating. I see a Galaxy phone in my near future.

The post above was from February. What happened, changed your mind?

You know what is funner than finding Apple fans on an Apple website? Seeing Samsung/Android fans spend a lot of time on an Apple website. Always tells me they regret their purchase of an inferior product and are jealous of Apple.

The days of upgrading every year are left to those who have lots of disposable income.

Even having that ability, I don’t see the need to upgrade annually anymore. The minute differences are just not worth it.

Camera isn’t that much better, except for motion video footage. My 13Pro takes excellent night time photos which was a big upgrade over my iPhone X.

I may upgrade on 15Pro or wait until 17Pro.
 
An appropriate meme as she surely gets every iPhone for free like that guy got his shirt and is so rich that if she had to buy one it’d be like regular folk buying a shirt…
 
She’s not entirely wrong, but I would’ve changed to it, “Me upgrading from(insert smartphone manufacturer old model here) to (insert smartphone manufacturer new model here) after (insert manufacturer’s name here only) announcement.”

Apple, Google, Samsung, OnePlus and whomever else makes them, they’re all fine with incremental updates.

Finding fanboys on an Apple website isn't odd. Finding people who spend all their time criticizing Apple on an Apple website, well that is odd.

A truly Professional Fan would have waited to type that from a purple iPhone 14 Pro. Odd.

Let’s put this in perspective for you. If your deceased father created a Donut Enterprise and under new leadership they still compensated the founding family, would you hop on Twitter and talk smack about the new donuts they are selling? Would you knowingly try to hurt your father’s business and encourage consumers to go elsewhere?
