Last year, I watched Engadget’s first iPhone release cycle and was intrigued by the hype. It seemed like I couldn’t be considered a respected member of the tech world if I didn’t own the latest tech. So I went to an Apple Store on the iPhone 15’s launch weekend and signed up to buy one. As soon as I waited, I was suddenly hooked on a demo model. Sure enough, I had the iPhone 11, my enthusiasm was minimal. A great array of apps, gently rounded edges, a right button, two buttons, a left-handed toggle switch… these two phones were the same. Sure, or The fabric was new, but did it hurt?
Instead of spending a lot, I walk out of the store with my old phone. And after a year, like this week As I got closer, the idea of updating my phone didn't really occur to me. I was more interested in the real-time transcription skills needed to help cover the event.
But then Apple was announced. iPhone 16. Enquanto The proposed DSLR-like focus button (now known as ) Even though it’s just the Pro models, every iPhone announced this year has a really cutting-edge novelty. The 15 Pro’s Action button is now also on the base model. The new model also has a new “Fusion Camera” that combines a 48MP sensor with a 2x telephoto lens. I don’t know what that actually means, but anything that can help me take better photos of urban landscapes is a good thing.
Of course, the new button was added recently because it will serve as a front-end for the upcoming release. Apple's AI-powered resource interprets the real world through the lens of Apple Intelligence. As shareholders insist on pushing AI hype to the It’s no surprise that Apple’s best-selling product has all the tools you need to fully embrace technology. It’s not something you need, but two new buttons? Or what does that sound like? ?That's enough to get me promoted.
You’re not a very shopper. I’ve seen shirts that are six years old, I have seven pairs of shoes and I still have an iPhone 11. I’m not necessarily proud of these things; the experience of buying something new has left me indifferent many times, especially when the things I had were still working fine.
Now, all of the iPhones I've replaced have been for one reason: After three years, my iPhone 3GS battery stopped charging. Meanwhile, my iPhone 7 is so slow that I've been trying to do it before opening a new app.
Conspiracy theories Apple was built on purpose. In these devices, there is more than one other plausible reason that battery and chip technology is not what it is now. With the launch of Apple's iOS 17 For iPhone 8, but a security update was recently released. . After only seven years of reasonable use (and I have family members with iPhone 8s and no plans to upgrade or share).
I bought my iPhone 11 in early 2020, and four years on, it's still a fully usable device. I can play Meow While you’re on Reddit, stay in touch with friends and family using your favorite different routes and take decent high-altitude and aerial photos. The battery won’t last a full day if you’re relying heavily on navigation, but that’s not a big deal for me – I’ve It ended up being a mute phone. But it won't last forever.
The new iPhone 16 costs $799 — the same price as the iPhone 15 — and comes in a new Ultramarine color. It’s a kind of royal blue-red that really appealed to me and represents exactly the kind of unnecessary consumerist frivolity that causes post-purchase frustration. But it’s so cute! Granted, I’ll never see that dark blue Tom again. The moment I get this new phone, it goes straight into the box, where it will be the next time I upgrade — perhaps by accident. Or something like that.
