    There is NO NEED for tech companies to make yearly releases. There should be 2 year cycle. Simple as that. Car manufacturers make 1 model usually 6 years, after 3 years they come up with "facelift".
    Let's be honest, there is no need to update from 15, but even from 14 and maybe 13. Samsung is similar (a bit more improved, but still).

    • @Digital-_-Spirit
      @Digital-_-Spirit 12 днів тому +21

      Phone releases are actually more like car releases. In the auto industry, there maybe a facelift every 3-4 years but their is always a new model released every year.
      I think what the tech industry is experiencing is the commoditization of the smartphone. Gone are the yearly revolutions and evolutions but that’s ok.
      As a device category matures, this is inevitable. For those of us were around during the early years we got to see historical developments that made the smartphone what it is.
      Maybe some new technology, like AR/VR headsets, will show us a new way forward because the smartphone has become everything it will be…

      Actually, there is no reason for anyone to upgrade a perfectly good phone for no reason. Your car analogy is incorrect. There’s a new Escalade every year. There’s a new model year car every year. Most people don’t trade their 23 Camry in for the 24 Camry because there’s nothing wrong with the 23.

      Sure the video quality is great and saving in pro-log helps.
      But this "Shot on Iphone" tag seems hella misleading when people may easily forget you are going need about 50k worth of other equipment to pull this off.

    I also think its partially an issue also perpetrated by the tech communities insatiable hunger for constant innovation or as you stated "change for the sake of change" because if the change isnt substantial people claim they are lazy.

    You just said exactly what we thrived to see from apple, its is loosing there loyal customers, I’ve been a user since 2010 never had anything else, I don’t need heavy triple camera, I need a phone that fits in pocket does it job, and keep me professional. So thanks for you video.
    Hopefully apple woke up, or another Steve Jobs saves it.

    No bullshit I’ve been using the pro versions since the 11 and I upgrade every year. This year I went with the teal 16 plus and I actually love it. It didn’t take long to get use to 60hz again

      It didn't take long to get used to 60Hz becoz iphone won't force 120Hz always in any pro variants... So u haven't experienced what it feels to use 120Hz/144Hz screen always.

      @@drpuneetuyalimath5731 I’ve only used pro iPhones since the 11 and I buy a new one every year. So I went from a 15 pro to 16 plus. Most likely will switch to my 16 pro eventually but not yet.

    As to why I’m still on my iPhone 13 Pro it’s good it’s modernized and has good features and performance. Not gonna buy a new phone till the 17 pro max or hopefully ultra if that’s even a thing anymore
