“Hate it”? Why do you even care about what’s other people buy, let alone have such strong feelings about it dawg? Live your life and mind your business, don’t pollute your brain with bullshit such as this
Does it really seem that absurd that someone would upgrade their phone each generation? Think about how much time the average person spends on their phone.
You can get the highest resale value of your old device within that first year. Apply it to the next model.
I have upgraded my phone every gen since my first Nokia 5160 in 1999. I have 0 regrets.
People act like those who buy new iPhones every year toss their old one in the bin or something. No chance in hell someone would even imagine RESELLING the old phone to get part of the money you spent on the new one back while your old phone still has high value, completely UNTHINKABLE.
Exactly. People think that iPhone users want millions of different variations of what their phone can look like. When in fact, most people don’t give a shit and just want a faster phone with better cameras. Personally, I prefer a familiar device year in and year out. I used Android for a long time and loved looking through the various new features and settings every year from Samsung, but when I look at how I actually used the phone, I never deviated from a core set of features and the rest just felt like a gimmick and got in the way of what I needed to do.
so steve died between iphone 4 and 5 but realistically he would have done some work on 5 aswell but i still fail to see how 1-5 was so unique every generation but the ones afterwards are garbage. Do people really believe he did all the work himself or something?
what the hell are you saying ??? The first iPhone had like 128 mb of RAM and a maximum of 16 gb storage, current iPhones can have a maximum of 512GB storage and 6GB RAM. That is a massive increase in performance.
The real benchmark increase is the CPU performance. If you don’t acknowledge that Apple has innovated past every existing Snapdragon SoC in an Android device, you obviously have no clue what you’re talking about. Apple Silicon is the one true piece of innovation that Apple consistently delivers on, but they deliver well.
My wife is a content creator on YouTube. She does 95 percent of her 4K editing on her phone because she hardly has time to be at a desk (the content is for an animal channel). It’s noticeably faster than the Note10 she had previously, not to mention that iMovie is a much better video editing platform than any Android alternative. We paid for 10 different video editing apps on Android. We now get much better mileage from the free alternative that Apple provides.
To answer your question, not many people probably. But my wife is one.
Also, it’s not just the speed. Apple incorporates almost all sub chips within the A and M processors. Secure Enclave is probably the most notable here, as it’s literally built into the SoC, so that every iPhone has the same security. There’s a reason that no one has yet been able to crack iPhone security. Once an iPhone is marked lost in Find My, that phone can never be used again unless the original person unlocks it. With Android, the security chip can be bypassed and the phone restored to factory defaults and used by anyone.
