Apple is promoting another Nothing Burger despite the imperfect iPhone 16

If you’re new to Apple, you probably won’t know about it. iPhone 15 and 16 are different phones. The biggest change this year was the camera control button, and Apple didn’t miss the opportunity to show off its features. iPhone16 Built from the ground up for Apple Intelligence.

But the problem is iPhone16 It was not developed for the stated purpose. And now, Apple Intelligence is finally rolling out and is being rolled out in stages. As of now, the biggest AI features, including the revamped Siri, are still missing. iPhone16.

But the most egregious issue, in my opinion, is the fact that Apple Intelligence won’t be coming to key regions like the EU or China for the foreseeable future. Apple claims that EU antitrust laws prevent it from bringing its AI capabilities to EU member states, and you’d think so. iPhone16 It is sold at list price in the countries listed above.

Other EU regulations – in particular DMA (digital market law) — iPhone now has certain features in EU countries that it doesn’t have in other countries. This includes third-party app stores, third-party NFC payments, and the ability to remove Apple’s default apps. All of this leads me to make the aforementioned claim that this is the most fragmented iPhone launch in history.

Of course, we expect companies to promote their upcoming products, but what exactly can Apple offer in this area? iPhone17? Perhaps the most interesting rumor we got about this is, iPhone17 Air.

What else? I don’t think we’ll see anything truly “ambitious” or revolutionary. While Apple has made some standout products over the years, most notably the Apple silicon MacBook Air model, it has also often overhyped mediocre products.

of iPhone15 It was already a pretty small upgrade iPhone 14: Primarily available in a dynamic island and titanium finish. But given what we’ve seen with the latest iPhone lineup, I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple launches a middling phone next year after hyping it to crazy levels.

It will save you time. The “most ambitious” iPhone will come with the following “game-changing” features:

• a better camera
• New “super awesome” paint job
• maybe more ram
• And a slightly faster processor that makes no difference to the average consumer

Doom and gloom aside, there’s reason to believe the iPhone 18 might finally give you the incentive to upgrade. Recent patent activities and rumors include: The iPhone 18 may eliminate the notch. No, rather than going back to thick bezels, Apple is actively designing phones that don’t require bezels. iPhone14 For iPhone 18 and later, it can be a valuable upgrade in terms of processing power and efficiency. Especially since Apple will likely be using 2nm chipsets across its lineup by then.

Until then, I guess we shouldn’t get too excited about Apple’s “most ambitious product ever.” In fact, we recommend waiting until the company gets back on its feet and can provide a consistent experience around the world. You deserve at least that much for what you’re paying.
