Crappy products are a major warning sign that we are in a massive bubble. When the quality of products goes downhill with the most ridiculous prices, even ordinary people start double guessing themselves, and the bubble finally bursts.
as an average user you don't need a new phone every year ... you won't even feel the differences in daily life at this point, tbh. Keep your phones for as long as you can and then upgrade, it'll make you even more happier since the jump in improvements and new features will be more recognizable.
Mine is telling me it’s time lol. 11 pro max(bought refurbished) it’s pretty slow and the battery dies surprisingly fast even though I replaced it last year.
literally lol, i recently got a refurbushed z flip 5 after my s10 finally gave up the ghost after a few solid years of use and abuse and i'm gonna hold onto this for another few years until i'm forced to upgrade it
And from jailbreak, and removed features but brought back a few years later such as battery percentage on iPhone, and being able to play music on Apple Watch. And not giving basic quality of life features such as copy & paste & numbers shortcut on keyboard until maybe 2030.
What's also insane is that they claim they're carbon neutral. Bruh how can you be carbon neutral or negative if 1) you can't repair the product and 2) it breaks after a couple of years?
There is no contradiction between being carbon neutral and short longevity. Just as an example, you could grow apples carbon neutrally in your garden and eat an apple within 2 minutes.There is no way you can guess the carbon footrpint by the time it lasts. By the way, historically, iPhones have much longer lifetime despite the repair difficulties. This is because most smartphones were outdated due to software and iOS had the longest updates. Now that Android phones use stronger processors and promise longer updates, it’s gonna be interesting whether Android phones can catch up or even outlast iPhones.
it's all marketing BS. Apple is no more carbon neutral than anyone else. Especially not when they have made millions of people move to smart watches that just increase the amount of e-waste.
I’ve had an iPhone 11 for 5 years. When I upgrade again, it’ll be a significant jump. It’s the people that buy the new phone every year that are the real problem
i just got the iphone 11 this summer. Upgraded from a 7 plus. That phone is durable as all hell,, used it for probably close to a decade (it was a used phone when i recieved it) and it only started having issues last years
Using iPhone SE for 2.5 years, does everything I need it to. It feels kinda crazy when someone hands me their 14/15 pro max though, feels so ridiculous like something from the future. There’s just no way I’m carrying something that huge & expensive in my pocket for pretty much no reason though
Steve Jobs back in the day did not prioritize sales over customer service. That's why it was free to actually have your iPhones to be serviced. Since Steve's death, so is the Apple's soul.
Remember right before Steve Jobs was diagnosed with cancer the FBI was hassling him to put a back door into their phones so they could bypass an encrypted phone because they wanted to get into a locked phone of a dead criminal but they couldn't crack the code. Steve Jobs stood firm and said he wouldn't do it because if he did the phones would be vulnerable to attacks by hackers. Anyway, shortly after refusing to submit to the FBI Jobs got a super aggressive form of untreatable cancer and passed away. Coincidence? Anyway, Job's successor, Tim Cook put that back door in for the FEDS.
Steve also sold people massively underpowered hardware at a ridiculous premium whereas Apple today is usually on the forefront of the performance charts, their R&D has come a long way since Jobs passed away and today it's once again an engineering driven company, more focused on the steak than the sizzle. And for that i'm very grateful, they could be better, they could also be far far worse and i'm content with the way Cook is leading the company

It’s the every year cycle that’s ruining it. Hard to expect any smartphone company to make something revolutionary every year. Most of the time it’s a spec bump for all of them.
The one year cycle is there so the people who bought years ago can upgrade and have a fresh option to upgrade each year. Nothing about it ruins it, as it's supposed to be an upgrade path for people who have older iPhones. This is a common misconception, and people think "oh but it's barely an upgrade over the iPhone 15". Well correct, it barely is, but it's why the upgrades are annual so over time they make up for a decent upgrade. What is senseless is people with iPhone 15 looking at this and being disappointed, while they were never the target audience in the first place. Stick to that one and upgrade to iPhone 18 or whatever. The premise of the video that each new iPhone has "slightly updated CPU, GPU, screen, battery" etc. isn't wrong, but it's incredibly dishonest to apply only to Apple. Think about this: is the Samsung S24 Ultra that much of an upgrade over the S23 Ultra? I can guarantee you that it is not. A friend of mine bought the S23 Ultra 6 months ago. 2 other friends bought the S24 Ultra a few weeks ago. I held each side by side and they are basically indistinguishable from one another. There are no clear telling signs which is which, apart from the better screen coating of the S24 which I guess I wouldn't notice at all if I didn't look for it (and I only looked because I knew it had improved coating). For all I know they could have switched them beforehand tell me they are the opposite of what they are and I would be fooled. In other words, they follow the exact same premise - slightly better this, slightly better that, but nothing major. And that's the point of annual releases, it's so that people with 3-4-5 old phones get a fresh option without having to buy last years one.
This ain’t the late 2000s or 2010s anymore. Not upgrading for at least 4 years or longer is becoming normal these days and it’s a good thing because it can reduce e-waste.
Laptops typically have a refresh cycle around a year or two, but it's generally just a spec bump. I don't see why phones can't follow this same model now that they've matured. Maybe it's time to start dropping the number at the end. We don't get MacBook Pro 18 last year and a MacBook Pro 19 this year, for example.
@@jimcsong I disagree as I see 2 Years to be way too short to be seen as a usual refresh cycle for laptops. Maybe in the 1990s or 2000s this was the case but most laptops have a 4-6 year refresh cycle which is much better and hopefully reduces e-waste as well.
@@infernal-toad I don’t mean you upgrade every 2 years, I mean there’s always new processors that the manufacturers replace in their existing laptop lineups. This happens very frequently. If you buy a Dell or Apple laptop now vs the equivalent model 2 years from now, it’s almost guaranteed they won’t have the same processor in them. Like I have an M1 MacBook Pro. I have no reason to upgrade to an M4 MacBook Pro just for the processor when otherwise the functionality is exactly the same and there are not even any design changes.
@@heyjo3417 Technology like smartphones or computers eventually reaches a point where innovation slows down. Look at computers or TVs. Apple moved from updates from every year to every two years. Certain product even have a longer delay in update cycles: the Mac Pro( four years) iPad mini (3 years). If people stopped buying as many iPhone we could probably see a slow down on update cycles as well.
I wonder why people are so obsessed with the brand. I‘ve been using an iPhone 7 till now and I don’t see the need to upgrade if I‘m to change a device, it’s not an Apple upgrade.

I’m still using my 5 se, must be about 8years old ish, still works fine still does everything I want it to, to a satisfactory degree and is in perfect nick (apart from the battery, on its second one and nearly due no.3) I’ll probably try to replace it in the next year or two, not because I want to but because apps and websites will probably stop working on it as it gets more out of date software wise
Been using my Galaxy S9 to this day. works like a charm if you replace the battery. no need to be upgrading every year or even every 3 years. these companies at some point have got to stop doing yearly releases especially since theyre older phones still work just fine.
Well I’m using an iPhone 6 (64gigs) and commenting on it through it and it’s 10 years old but it’s got a lotta dents but it does what I need it to,I handled it pretty bad and dropped it a lot and yet,no screen cracks and it does lag a bit on games but that’s fine,it no longer gets updates though which is sad.

Consumerism is a major reason why people are still buying the latest iphones even though barely anything changes about the phone. It used to be true that a new phone was better than the last model, but recently technology has been inching towards that limit, and the steam has been lost. The only way these companies can progress is by either finding new innovations or abusing branding, marketing or consumerism. These consumerists dont even care about the price, they just think that the next product will be way better, a cycle that ended a long time ago and a cycle that keeps people in the past. Yes, the west has really fallen, knowing this.
Not sure if that’s entirely true. Even Apple smartphone sales are falling. The average person’s upgrade cycle is lengthening as well. Smartphones are just following computer trends. You used to have to upgrade a computer every few years, but now people probably own computers that are several years old. I still have and use my MacBook from 2012. As long as people don’t feel a need to upgrade, they won’t. Sure, there is a subset of people who need to have the newest phone every year or every two years, but that is not the norm.
Most tech companies just do incremental upgrades now. So going up from one model to the next is basically pointless, but if you hold onto a product for a while, when you do upgrade to the latest it is usually a pretty good jump
@@ChaoticLadsI might be numb to it, or I don’t nitpick at all the benchmark numbers, but even with a computer or smartphone that’s several years old, I still don’t feel much of a jump. The tech has gotten so good that I don’t see or experience a big difference. Sure, I save a few seconds here and there, and the pictures look better. I upgraded from a Note 20 Ultra to the S24 Ultra. I’m not blown away; it just feels snappier, and that’s about it. Even trying the new M2 MacBooks compared to my old 2012 model, sure, they can do a lot of things better and faster, but it’s not like the days when Celeron PCs were unusable compared to the higher-end Intel models
@@tamwilfredMemory, battery time and picture quality is what I go for and I think it has improved a lot. But if you don’t take a lot of pictures and you don’t use your phone like over eight to twelve hours a day then you might not notice any huge difference.
@@aciidbraiin8079 Pretty much. Overall the pictures have gotten good but its not like a lot of people pixel peek or using pictures for professional setting. As long as pictures didn't make you look like a potatoe like the cameras on phones ten years ago. Everyone has different preceived value. If you think it's worth it then more power to you. I'm quite happy keeping my iPhone 13 until it dies or loses software support. There's no rush to upgrade until the rest of the world starts using esim as well. I travel internationally and some countries don't use esims yet.
The galaxy fold is worth $2000. Its quite literally cutting edge new technology that is 2 phones into 1 phone. I own one and i have never been happier with a purchase, its incredible compared to any iphone ive had
Not many people actually upgrade every 2-3 years. Most people are on a 3-4 year cycle and the phones actually do last pretty long. The small upgrades pile up by the time people actually upgrade
Ya, my main phone is an iPhone 12 and im watching this on an XR. The XR has a bit of lag but it's not that bad, the iPhone 12 is still just fine and is extremely fast still. I see no reason to upgrade other than to get the 13 mini, which is smaller than my non-mini iPhone 12. Other than that I could keep the iPhone 12 for another four years and if I get the 13 mini I will keep it for as long as I can. Planned obsolescence is most certainly real but it's not found in software support from Apple. Battery replacements don't cost that much and if you keep your phone in a protective case, not an apple brand one by the way, with a screen protector on and optionally with a camera cover you don't have to worry about most of the other issues that plague iPhone owners who don't do this. Apple accessories are shit, don't buy them. Buy third-party accessories, they're not that expensive.
I was running an 8 year old phone until my country (Australia) decided to shut off 3G and my phone (OnePlus 3T) didn't support VoLTE. Now I have a ZenFone 10 I got on sale (I hate big phones) and this thing should last me until 2032 at least.
I had an iPhone 11 for a couple years, recently got the iPhone 15 and honestly I barely notice a difference. It’s the only product that doesn’t have that upgraded feeling when you improve it. Weird.
it is a pretty big difference though. But the upgrades is often in the camera, battery and performance. Then some extra features. But it's often not that recognisable. This is the case of most phones now though.
Yeah I think the biggest issue with iPhones is that (in a way) they are too good. Their CPUs and GPUs rival or surpass most PC laptops and unless you're doing something like playing some AAA console game on it, there's way more power in modern iPhones than 90% of users will ever be able to take advantage of. And that's been the case for years... So when you upgrade and then do things like browse the internet, set timers, make phone calls, text, record videos etc. There's almost no possible way to notice the difference in performance. That's why I don't get why people feel the need to upgrade every year... it's honestly a bit crazy how so many people feel compelled to throw away perfectly good tech just to get the current year's version.
@jittertn is it though? And what does that mean in real terms? My androids have always been sharp, fast with no lag. No issues running multiple apps at once and switching between them. Iphones don't even have a function where you can bring up all the open apps and scroll through them, close them individually or press "close apps" to close them all. Like wtf that's the most basic function ever. Also, the top level androids always have better ram, better cameras, better storage space than the top level iphones. It's actually stupid to buy an iPhone.
@jittertn just to add to that, when I meet someone new and they tell me they have an iPhone I immediately assume they are stupid or technologically retarded.
This past weekend, I bought the iPhone 16 Pro. Coming from the iPhone 12, this is a big upgrade for me. For four years now, I've gotten along with a 12 MP camera, a 60 Hz display, 128 GB of storage, a speaker I could barely hear and the lightning connector. With the iPhone 16 Pro, I now have a 48 MP camera, a 120 Hz display, a speaker that's loud enough to hear from a distance, 256 GB of storage and a USB-C connector. I'm actually happy with my purchase.

That's not how jailbreaking works... Jailbreaking just adds extra software on top of your current software stack (which technically only adds to the bloat). Now the tweaks that something like Cydia can provide could be used to disable things, speed up animations and give slight performance boosts (or at least the appearance of them). But the only real way to get a true performance boost, would be to jailbreak your phone and downgrade to an older OS or install tweaks to remove the patch Apple rolled out to prevent power brownouts and then not push your phone too hard when you get to around 40% battery life.

Guys first understand we just got the end of revolution of mobile phone that’s why no company nowadays doesn’t make big update in their new phones because we can’t do anything in phone anymore that’s why most of the company now try to create another smart device like Vision Pro. So just accept the reality and enjoy your best mobile phone which is more comfortable for your work. 👍 🤝 🤜🤛
It's true though, smartphones have hit a wall in terms of real revolutionary changes, it's pretty much small performance improvements, small new features, and occasional gimmicks (foldable phones, etc). The next really revolutionary thing which will be akin to the move from keyboard dumb phones and flip phones, to full-screen touch smartphones, will probably be an AR system, something like the Vision Pro but with a few more iterations to make it much lighter, less intrusive and last most of a day on a charge using a wireless A/V connection from a computing device in your pocket/purse (a phone without a screen) to your AR hardware. This may take a while to get to because of miniaturization hurdles
If you’re looking for “ innovation “ you’re 15 years too late . Things were innovative in the first 6 years of smartphones. But seriously, there is not much more left to do to a phone.

In terms of usage there is no real difference between the Iphone 4 and the Iphone 16. Just like how the galaxy """""AI""""" was already available in 2014. It just wasn't called AI but photo search, it's all bs and you guys are all talking like it had any interest
I feel like if you’re jumping from a base iPhone to a Pro model, especially the Max, that’s a pretty good leap. I do wish the colors on the Pro models weren’t so boring and safe though
My buddy is jumping from the 11 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max. My other buddy has a 12 Mini and won't upgrade until they stop software updates. I do not know what this video or other haters of Apple is talking about... but you can keep a new iPhone for 4+ years, easy. You might be able to swing 7-8 based on the current power of these devices. I predict a 16 Pro can easily last until the 22or 24 comes out.

10:10 couldn't disagree more. I've been working with smartphone repair centers for years and they're all the same. The parts are insanely expensive, the phones are build and assembled the same war the iphone is, etc etc. It's a problem with the whole industry, not the iphone alone
@@SGxShadowThe difference is that for sammy and google, the parts are not software locked and I can go to my nearby repair centre which does not charge and arm and a leg to repair my galaxy and pixel. Better yet, i can just buy the parts and repair the phone myself.
@@faythang2513 that's another thing that this guy didn't talk about. WHY Apple was basically forced to go down that route of locking everything or the steps that Apple takes every year to still allow legitimate repairs. For example as of iOS 18 there's new built-in software tools to allow you to swap out many of the components between phones (as long as the phone hasn't been reported as lost or stolen and it's been fully reset and had activation lock removed). It's still not perfect, but every year they open it up just a little bit more without sacrificing their security or their anti-theft measures. Whereas Google has the luxury of not really caring about security or anti-theft in the same way since they don't make the hardware for 99% of Androids and it's not their problem.
It's true, I could care less if the next iphone does anything better but a better camera and slightly better battery totally improve my life. I keep most iphones for 3-5 years, sell them for a decent chunk of change and just move on with life. In an ever-changing world, it's nice that the iphone is reliable or 'boring' in a good way. I just need to get work done, and it's been great!
Sadly. Im running my 13 until it literally doesnt work anymore. I'd rather run it off of a battery backup than buy a new one. I'd also rather daily drive a dumbphone than buying a new iPhone. Smartphones are toxic rectangles spewing crap into our brains anyway.
That is insane. My wife fell for the "Apple is cool" trap a few years ago, and she has hated it every year a little bit more. This year she swicthed to S24 Ultra, and she will never look back. My primary phone is a S24 Ultra as well, but both my work/secondary phones are 5 year old Galaxy Note 10 plus (from 2019) and they still work like a charm, and are stronger and faster today, than the base Iphone 16. It is insane.
But software updates are important in case of hackers finding exploits, it's for security reasons. Is it worth it to give up to that security over smoothness?
The big issue is, iPhones damn near perfect, I think they should start spacing out the upgrades, till something big and actually innovative comes to light.
Hmmm, yeah most of these newer phones are really expensive for what you get. You are mainly paying for a slight performance upgrade. I usually buy a factory refurbished android that is about 2 generations back. The company will support the device for several more years, and you end up paying a lot less. Every single time I get factory refurbished, it comes with a one year warranty.
I've been using my iPhone 12 mini since release and it's still fine. I don't need to upgrade. iPhones are a mature product now, they're where macs used to be 10 years ago: you get a speedbump every year, some new OS tricks or aesthetic changes, and once in a while some incremental improvements on the tech. It is what it is.
I am on the same boat , and I actually have 3 , myself my mom and my brother, they are still running fine tho battery is at 85% ish. My dad hates the iphone UI and he is on his 4th phone. My aunt "upgrades" her iphone pro max every year and the way she does it is by paying $20 more on her phone bill , meaning she never paid the 1k ask price anyway. I used to work in banks , and they all have their own bank app for staffs , they are all apple and never android, guess that's all the reason one might need to know why apple is still around.

He also mentioned a lot of things that are many years old problems which already have been fixed. He also make it look like no other phone company are like this. When in reality most do similar things. Its clearly biased and an attempt on hating because hes a child doing this cringe as phone war.
I have a 2015 Mac book pro. Its coming up on 10 years. Still works. Has 0 issues and I think still gets updates. it might be a bit slower because the battery is 10 years old and it also has 10 years worth of dirt in its fans. Same could happen to older iPhone. Newer iPhone chips have hardware accelerators build in. So when yo run a new IOS version on those they are efficient. Since older iPhones don't have this they use more battery because the hardware accelerator is absent so it has to brute force newer features. Also the battery ware could cause it to slow down.
Apple is anti-consume, anti-power user, and worst of all anti-right to repair. Ever since I had to work a tech job and service the one group of apple computers in the high school broadcasting classroom when all the others were windows, I promised I'd never buy a single one of their products. The most irritating thing to any tech worker is trying to get an apple product to spit out any kind of information we can use when all it does is the stupid head shake.

Ironically it's even worse on the greener side of the mobile world. Most android phones arn't supported for nearly as long as iPhones (though fortunately Google and Samsung's flagship phones have caught up in recent years) and most modern android watches don't want to pair with iPhones or have less functionality when they do than what Apple provides to Android users who want to use Apple Watches and so on. I also don't see anyone complaining about the android messaging features that are exclusives either (like models that have crammed certain end-to-end encryption features over the top of the outdated messaging specs). It's almost like it's only ever a "problem" when one company does it. Funny how that works.

I have no idea why anyone buys Apple. In 1999 they tried to charge me the replacement cost of a 17 inch monitor just to replace a high tension coil worth $50. But they wouldn't sell the coil separately. I haven't bought apple in 25 years.
Phones have matured. The same way laptops have been matured for years. Apple is aware people are holding on to their phones for longer (and so is every flagship manufacturer) so this phone isn’t for those that bought the 15 last year, it’s for people that have older phones from the 11,12 and 13 series etc About 300 million people have an iPhone 13 or older, Apple is trying to get those people to upgrade, you can tell by the number of normally “pro” features they packed into the base model. Heck, half of the iPhone presentation was the base model, they just skimmed over the pro versions. Also, they did direct comparisons with iPhones all the way down to the 11 (which is a first in any Apple Keynote). It’s obvious they’re trying to entice old users as few people who bought the 15 last year or the 14 the year before would want to buy the 16. These devices last years, I literally have a 5 year old 11 and a 3 year old 13 pro max all running like the day I got them, so I don’t know why you’re saying iPhones only last two years (luckily tons of people in the comments have said that they’re using their iPhones for 5 years or more) iPhones do all the core things a phone is supposed to do exceptionally well, every other thing is just an added feature that not everyone needs. Sure I’m not a fan of their pricing and some of their practices, but their devices are worth it for those that like the simplified experience. I just wish people would understand this and develop past the stage of comparing spec sheets like it actually matters in 2024 You obviously have no experience in Tech RUclips/commentaries. Please refrain from producing these kinds of videos, you are either sorely misinformed or trying to get cheap views off the “Apple Bad” hype train
As someone who doesn't like apple and iphones for their software and the way they restrict the you the user in what you can do with your phone, I actually quite like the hardware and this 16 series is quite nice upgrades over the older models. As with all other phones, innovation has slowed down, now we just get 30% faster chips, slightly better cameras, small things like this.
@@vali69 exactly Their hardware is top notch. Android users can’t seem to grasp the fact that a phone doesn’t need 12 - 16gb of RAM to run smoothly, the only reason androids have that much is because the OS is inefficient Imagine a 3 year old 13 pro max running like new with just 6gb of RAM. You can’t get that on the Android side of things. Most of the “features” Android has aren’t really necessary and are things we can all live without. Not all of us spend time messing with our phones, we just need a reliable device that runs well and lasts for years
I don’t get it… it’s been this way for years with incremental improvements as there is not much else to improve on. Do people really expect something completely new and amazing to sweep them off their feet??? Can anyone be happy with what they have? I’ve been rocking an iphone 11 for like 4 years now. It does everything i need just fine and that’s great. Don’t need a new mini computer every year just for a couple slight “improvements” to take videos, browse the internet and use GPS…
Yeah I don’t know why people expect massive changes from year to year. There is not much else that can be improved. No one should be buying a new phone every year. If you have an old phone that doesn’t work well anymore, then buy the new one. If you bought a new phone last year then there’s no reason to get rid of it and buy a new one this year. Incremental improvements are still improvements.
@@wlonsdale1lte is still better than 5g, more coverage, better battery and less heat, signal strength etc, noone needs 700+ mbps when lte is more than good enough
It’s not that Apple intentionally makes iPhones slower with each update, to add new IOS update with more features raises the bar for required performance to run the operating system at a baseline level. This isn’t exclusive to Apple this is how software works as a whole, you don’t see any 7th gen i3 windows machines running windows 11 because they physically cannot run it.
There could be more or less innovation each year, but overall I think they keep the balance very well. You still get new features on new phones, but they are not absolutely necessary to the point where you feel like you NEED to upgrade each year. And after all, it's just a phone, who needs it to change so much every year.

as an average user you don't need a new phone every year ... you won't even feel the differences in daily life at this point, tbh. Keep your phones for as long as you can and then upgrade, it'll make you even more happier since the jump in improvements and new features will be more recognizable.
Mine is telling me it’s time lol. 11 pro max(bought refurbished) it’s pretty slow and the battery dies surprisingly fast even though I replaced it last year.
literally lol, i recently got a refurbushed z flip 5 after my s10 finally gave up the ghost after a few solid years of use and abuse and i'm gonna hold onto this for another few years until i'm forced to upgrade it

So true! I changed my iphone 11 for the 15+ and I love it
Bruh y’all talking abt iPhone 11s.. i still use an iPhone XR 💀
I love how literally every "new thing" on the new iphone are just old features from android phones.
I noticed this way back in 2011-ish, when iphones didn't even have custom ring tones. While Androids have always had that very basic feature.
Like Apple Intelligence
@@amberrj. even the old nokia phones had custom ringtones lmaoo
And from jailbreak, and removed features but brought back a few years later such as battery percentage on iPhone, and being able to play music on Apple Watch. And not giving basic quality of life features such as copy & paste & numbers shortcut on keyboard until maybe 2030.
Yet Apple still do them better
What's also insane is that they claim they're carbon neutral. Bruh how can you be carbon neutral or negative if 1) you can't repair the product and 2) it breaks after a couple of years?
Programmed to break!! Terrible people since Steve J passed
Its called lying bro get with the times
There is no contradiction between being carbon neutral and short longevity. Just as an example, you could grow apples carbon neutrally in your garden and eat an apple within 2 minutes.There is no way you can guess the carbon footrpint by the time it lasts.
By the way, historically, iPhones have much longer lifetime despite the repair difficulties. This is because most smartphones were outdated due to software and iOS had the longest updates. Now that Android phones use stronger processors and promise longer updates, it’s gonna be interesting whether Android phones can catch up or even outlast iPhones.
it's all marketing BS. Apple is no more carbon neutral than anyone else. Especially not when they have made millions of people move to smart watches that just increase the amount of e-waste.
@@PfropfNo1 there is a huge connection on the 16 being the biggest Spyware yet though
I’ve had an iPhone 11 for 5 years. When I upgrade again, it’ll be a significant jump. It’s the people that buy the new phone every year that are the real problem
Same! Got my 11 Pro Max in Jan. 2020 and still using it. I will run this mofo into the ground until it stops working lol.
Yup iPhone 11 I plan to use for many more years
i just got the iphone 11 this summer. Upgraded from a 7 plus. That phone is durable as all hell,, used it for probably close to a decade (it was a used phone when i recieved it) and it only started having issues last years
I just bought a used iPhone 12 🎉 super happy about it
Using iPhone SE for 2.5 years, does everything I need it to. It feels kinda crazy when someone hands me their 14/15 pro max though, feels so ridiculous like something from the future. There’s just no way I’m carrying something that huge & expensive in my pocket for pretty much no reason though
Steve Jobs back in the day did not prioritize sales over customer service. That's why it was free to actually have your iPhones to be serviced. Since Steve's death, so is the Apple's soul.
But if they didn’t they would only have like 1 trillion😂.
@@Superficial52.0only...
And?that's still alot they are just greedy fucks@Superficial52.0
Remember right before Steve Jobs was diagnosed with cancer the FBI was hassling him to put a back door into their phones so they could bypass an encrypted phone because they wanted to get into a locked phone of a dead criminal but they couldn't crack the code. Steve Jobs stood firm and said he wouldn't do it because if he did the phones would be vulnerable to attacks by hackers. Anyway, shortly after refusing to submit to the FBI Jobs got a super aggressive form of untreatable cancer and passed away. Coincidence?
Anyway, Job's successor, Tim Cook put that back door in for the FEDS.
Steve also sold people massively underpowered hardware at a ridiculous premium whereas Apple today is usually on the forefront of the performance charts, their R&D has come a long way since Jobs passed away and today it's once again an engineering driven company, more focused on the steak than the sizzle. And for that i'm very grateful, they could be better, they could also be far far worse and i'm content with the way Cook is leading the company
The craziest thing to me is the fact that ppl continues to buy in droves, despite being treated like idiots.
Because there's a lot of idiot in this world
apple's useful idiots, every year the same iphone but with a slight different design, just get a chinese phone or google pixel
So true, I worked for them in Europe, they dont give nothing for Christmas or NY gifts, salaries are minimal, you can barely survive in big city where the office is, the salary raise for 2025 is 1,2% while inflation is 7 %, they are cheap, abusive and nasty exploiters and slave owners who treat their employees like dumb idiots🤮🤮🤮
Apple making them 60hz still to force people up to the Pro but then the Pro is STILL stuck at 128gb storage in base config is crazy
I think they are doing that because they'll have 1 more thing to "innovate"
I never see anyone get none pro lol

It’s the every year cycle that’s ruining it. Hard to expect any smartphone company to make something revolutionary every year. Most of the time it’s a spec bump for all of them.
The one year cycle is there so the people who bought years ago can upgrade and have a fresh option to upgrade each year.
Nothing about it ruins it, as it's supposed to be an upgrade path for people who have older iPhones.
This is a common misconception, and people think "oh but it's barely an upgrade over the iPhone 15". Well correct, it barely is, but it's why the upgrades are annual so over time they make up for a decent upgrade.
What is senseless is people with iPhone 15 looking at this and being disappointed, while they were never the target audience in the first place. Stick to that one and upgrade to iPhone 18 or whatever.
The premise of the video that each new iPhone has "slightly updated CPU, GPU, screen, battery" etc. isn't wrong, but it's incredibly dishonest to apply only to Apple.
Think about this: is the Samsung S24 Ultra that much of an upgrade over the S23 Ultra? I can guarantee you that it is not. A friend of mine bought the S23 Ultra 6 months ago. 2 other friends bought the S24 Ultra a few weeks ago. I held each side by side and they are basically indistinguishable from one another. There are no clear telling signs which is which, apart from the better screen coating of the S24 which I guess I wouldn't notice at all if I didn't look for it (and I only looked because I knew it had improved coating). For all I know they could have switched them beforehand tell me they are the opposite of what they are and I would be fooled. In other words, they follow the exact same premise - slightly better this, slightly better that, but nothing major.
And that's the point of annual releases, it's so that people with 3-4-5 old phones get a fresh option without having to buy last years one.
This ain’t the late 2000s or 2010s anymore. Not upgrading for at least 4 years or longer is becoming normal these days and it’s a good thing because it can reduce e-waste.
Laptops typically have a refresh cycle around a year or two, but it's generally just a spec bump. I don't see why phones can't follow this same model now that they've matured. Maybe it's time to start dropping the number at the end. We don't get MacBook Pro 18 last year and a MacBook Pro 19 this year, for example.
@@jimcsong I disagree as I see 2 Years to be way too short to be seen as a usual refresh cycle for laptops. Maybe in the 1990s or 2000s this was the case but most laptops have a 4-6 year refresh cycle which is much better and hopefully reduces e-waste as well.
@@infernal-toad I don’t mean you upgrade every 2 years, I mean there’s always new processors that the manufacturers replace in their existing laptop lineups. This happens very frequently.
If you buy a Dell or Apple laptop now vs the equivalent model 2 years from now, it’s almost guaranteed they won’t have the same processor in them.
Like I have an M1 MacBook Pro. I have no reason to upgrade to an M4 MacBook Pro just for the processor when otherwise the functionality is exactly the same and there are not even any design changes.

@@heyjo3417 Technology like smartphones or computers eventually reaches a point where innovation slows down. Look at computers or TVs. Apple moved from updates from every year to every two years. Certain product even have a longer delay in update cycles: the Mac Pro( four years) iPad mini (3 years).

Consumerism is a major reason why people are still buying the latest iphones even though barely anything changes about the phone. It used to be true that a new phone was better than the last model, but recently technology has been inching towards that limit, and the steam has been lost. The only way these companies can progress is by either finding new innovations or abusing branding, marketing or consumerism. These consumerists dont even care about the price, they just think that the next product will be way better, a cycle that ended a long time ago and a cycle that keeps people in the past. Yes, the west has really fallen, knowing this.
Not sure if that’s entirely true. Even Apple smartphone sales are falling. The average person’s upgrade cycle is lengthening as well. Smartphones are just following computer trends. You used to have to upgrade a computer every few years, but now people probably own computers that are several years old. I still have and use my MacBook from 2012. As long as people don’t feel a need to upgrade, they won’t. Sure, there is a subset of people who need to have the newest phone every year or every two years, but that is not the norm.
Most tech companies just do incremental upgrades now. So going up from one model to the next is basically pointless, but if you hold onto a product for a while, when you do upgrade to the latest it is usually a pretty good jump
@@ChaoticLadsI might be numb to it, or I don’t nitpick at all the benchmark numbers, but even with a computer or smartphone that’s several years old, I still don’t feel much of a jump. The tech has gotten so good that I don’t see or experience a big difference. Sure, I save a few seconds here and there, and the pictures look better. I upgraded from a Note 20 Ultra to the S24 Ultra. I’m not blown away; it just feels snappier, and that’s about it. Even trying the new M2 MacBooks compared to my old 2012 model, sure, they can do a lot of things better and faster, but it’s not like the days when Celeron PCs were unusable compared to the higher-end Intel models
@@tamwilfredMemory, battery time and picture quality is what I go for and I think it has improved a lot. But if you don’t take a lot of pictures and you don’t use your phone like over eight to twelve hours a day then you might not notice any huge difference.
@@aciidbraiin8079 Pretty much. Overall the pictures have gotten good but its not like a lot of people pixel peek or using pictures for professional setting. As long as pictures didn't make you look like a potatoe like the cameras on phones ten years ago. Everyone has different preceived value. If you think it's worth it then more power to you. I'm quite happy keeping my iPhone 13 until it dies or loses software support. There's no rush to upgrade until the rest of the world starts using esim as well. I travel internationally and some countries don't use esims yet.

Not many people actually upgrade every 2-3 years. Most people are on a 3-4 year cycle and the phones actually do last pretty long. The small upgrades pile up by the time people actually upgrade
Ya, my main phone is an iPhone 12 and im watching this on an XR. The XR has a bit of lag but it's not that bad, the iPhone 12 is still just fine and is extremely fast still. I see no reason to upgrade other than to get the 13 mini, which is smaller than my non-mini iPhone 12. Other than that I could keep the iPhone 12 for another four years and if I get the 13 mini I will keep it for as long as I can. Planned obsolescence is most certainly real but it's not found in software support from Apple. Battery replacements don't cost that much and if you keep your phone in a protective case, not an apple brand one by the way, with a screen protector on and optionally with a camera cover you don't have to worry about most of the other issues that plague iPhone owners who don't do this. Apple accessories are shit, don't buy them. Buy third-party accessories, they're not that expensive.

I had an iPhone 11 for a couple years, recently got the iPhone 15 and honestly I barely notice a difference. It’s the only product that doesn’t have that upgraded feeling when you improve it. Weird.
it is a pretty big difference though. But the upgrades is often in the camera, battery and performance. Then some extra features. But it's often not that recognisable. This is the case of most phones now though.
That proves you don't need a smartphone anyway.
Yeah I think the biggest issue with iPhones is that (in a way) they are too good. Their CPUs and GPUs rival or surpass most PC laptops and unless you're doing something like playing some AAA console game on it, there's way more power in modern iPhones than 90% of users will ever be able to take advantage of. And that's been the case for years...
So when you upgrade and then do things like browse the internet, set timers, make phone calls, text, record videos etc. There's almost no possible way to notice the difference in performance. That's why I don't get why people feel the need to upgrade every year... it's honestly a bit crazy how so many people feel compelled to throw away perfectly good tech just to get the current year's version.

Also, the top level androids always have better ram, better cameras, better storage space than the top level iphones. It's actually stupid to buy an iPhone.

With the iPhone 16 Pro, I now have a 48 MP camera, a 120 Hz display, a speaker that's loud enough to hear from a distance, 256 GB of storage and a USB-C connector.

The moment it noticeably slows, jailbreak the thing. Then somehow get your processing power back.
Isn’t that dangerous?
That's not how jailbreaking works... Jailbreaking just adds extra software on top of your current software stack (which technically only adds to the bloat). Now the tweaks that something like Cydia can provide could be used to disable things, speed up animations and give slight performance boosts (or at least the appearance of them). But the only real way to get a true performance boost, would be to jailbreak your phone and downgrade to an older OS or install tweaks to remove the patch Apple rolled out to prevent power brownouts and then not push your phone too hard when you get to around 40% battery life.
My iPhone 13 pro max battery still works awesome! I can get through the day from just 1 charge. Plus I don't use it heavily like a lot of other people do. Normal usage for me.
Both Apple and mobile games such balls.
They should have just added a fingerprint sensor instead of that good for nothing "camera control" button
I'm looking forward to the camera control. Trying something new. Why not?
@@tommyw.9424same, seems useful especially when your taking a selfie and your other hand is doing something else but your grip makes it hard for you to press the screen
why would you want fingerprint when you got Face ID?
Tbh fingerprint sensor is kinda useless because FaceID is actually extremely reliable and seamless way to open the phone
Why would you want fingerprint sensor when you have face id that works really well.

I miss the early days of the smartphone craze when all phone companies were trying to outcompete one another even if it meant adding crazy gimics.
I really miss being able to swap out batteries too.
Take a look at nearly every industry.
Doesn’t matter if it’s cars or even pcs
Everything sets at some point
Guys first understand we just got the end of revolution of mobile phone that’s why no company nowadays doesn’t make big update in their new phones because we can’t do anything in phone anymore that’s why most of the company now try to create another smart device like Vision Pro. So just accept the reality and enjoy your best mobile phone which is more comfortable for your work. 👍 🤝 🤜🤛
It's true though, smartphones have hit a wall in terms of real revolutionary changes, it's pretty much small performance improvements, small new features, and occasional gimmicks (foldable phones, etc). The next really revolutionary thing which will be akin to the move from keyboard dumb phones and flip phones, to full-screen touch smartphones, will probably be an AR system, something like the Vision Pro but with a few more iterations to make it much lighter, less intrusive and last most of a day on a charge using a wireless A/V connection from a computing device in your pocket/purse (a phone without a screen) to your AR hardware. This may take a while to get to because of miniaturization hurdles
Xperia dominance. Top tier manual camera, microsd slot, aux plug.
If you’re looking for “ innovation “ you’re 15 years too late . Things were innovative in the first 6 years of smartphones. But seriously, there is not much more left to do to a phone.
Next step is neural implants. No Bueno

It's been interesting watching this saga unfold as an android user for so many years.
I feel you brother 🤣🤣 I'm on a spark 20 Pro from a vivo V20 pro
the updates might be slight, but jumping from an Iphone 10 to a 16 or even a 12 or 13 is a huge update, and they really add up over time
In terms of usage there is no real difference between the Iphone 4 and the Iphone 16.
Just like how the galaxy """""AI""""" was already available in 2014. It just wasn't called AI but photo search, it's all bs and you guys are all talking like it had any interest
I feel like if you’re jumping from a base iPhone to a Pro model, especially the Max, that’s a pretty good leap. I do wish the colors on the Pro models weren’t so boring and safe though
My buddy is jumping from the 11 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max. My other buddy has a 12 Mini and won't upgrade until they stop software updates. I do not know what this video or other haters of Apple is talking about... but you can keep a new iPhone for 4+ years, easy. You might be able to swing 7-8 based on the current power of these devices. I predict a 16 Pro can easily last until the 22or 24 comes out.

I stopped using the iPhone 10 years ago. My Android is all I need

10:10 couldn't disagree more. I've been working with smartphone repair centers for years and they're all the same. The parts are insanely expensive, the phones are build and assembled the same war the iphone is, etc etc. It's a problem with the whole industry, not the iphone alone
Quite you! This is clearly an Apple hating video! LOL! People act like Samsung and Google aren't charging an arm and a leg for repairs... hahahah!
@@SGxShadowThe difference is that for sammy and google, the parts are not software locked and I can go to my nearby repair centre which does not charge and arm and a leg to repair my galaxy and pixel. Better yet, i can just buy the parts and repair the phone myself.
@@faythang2513you need to research this. Samsung serialized parts a long time ago
ye I know. This guy just a child hating on apple because he for some weird reason have not grow out this "phone war"
@@faythang2513 that's another thing that this guy didn't talk about. WHY Apple was basically forced to go down that route of locking everything or the steps that Apple takes every year to still allow legitimate repairs. For example as of iOS 18 there's new built-in software tools to allow you to swap out many of the components between phones (as long as the phone hasn't been reported as lost or stolen and it's been fully reset and had activation lock removed). It's still not perfect, but every year they open it up just a little bit more without sacrificing their security or their anti-theft measures.
Whereas Google has the luxury of not really caring about security or anti-theft in the same way since they don't make the hardware for 99% of Androids and it's not their problem.
It's true, I could care less if the next iphone does anything better but a better camera and slightly better battery totally improve my life. I keep most iphones for 3-5 years, sell them for a decent chunk of change and just move on with life. In an ever-changing world, it's nice that the iphone is reliable or 'boring' in a good way. I just need to get work done, and it's been great!

Sadly. Im running my 13 until it literally doesnt work anymore. I'd rather run it off of a battery backup than buy a new one. I'd also rather daily drive a dumbphone than buying a new iPhone. Smartphones are toxic rectangles spewing crap into our brains anyway.
I still have an original itouch that I never updated. It still runs buttery smooth.

That is insane. My wife fell for the "Apple is cool" trap a few years ago, and she has hated it every year a little bit more. This year she swicthed to S24 Ultra, and she will never look back.
My primary phone is a S24 Ultra as well, but both my work/secondary phones are 5 year old Galaxy Note 10 plus (from 2019) and they still work like a charm, and are stronger and faster today, than the base Iphone 16.
It is insane.
Secret on the s22 is never to updated the android software. My phone is still so fast just like the day bought it from the shop.
But software updates are important in case of hackers finding exploits, it's for security reasons. Is it worth it to give up to that security over smoothness?

Hmmm, yeah most of these newer phones are really expensive for what you get. You are mainly paying for a slight performance upgrade. I usually buy a factory refurbished android that is about 2 generations back. The company will support the device for several more years, and you end up paying a lot less. Every single time I get factory refurbished, it comes with a one year warranty.
I've been using my iPhone 12 mini since release and it's still fine. I don't need to upgrade. iPhones are a mature product now, they're where macs used to be 10 years ago: you get a speedbump every year, some new OS tricks or aesthetic changes, and once in a while some incremental improvements on the tech. It is what it is.
And don't get revolution like in case of Microsoft OS, o product discontinued.
I am on the same boat , and I actually have 3 , myself my mom and my brother, they are still running fine tho battery is at 85% ish. My dad hates the iphone UI and he is on his 4th phone. My aunt "upgrades" her iphone pro max every year and the way she does it is by paying $20 more on her phone bill , meaning she never paid the 1k ask price anyway.
I used to work in banks , and they all have their own bank app for staffs , they are all apple and never android, guess that's all the reason one might need to know why apple is still around.

He also mentioned a lot of things that are many years old problems which already have been fixed. He also make it look like no other phone company are like this. When in reality most do similar things. Its clearly biased and an attempt on hating because hes a child doing this cringe as phone war.
i have my iphone 12 since 4 years. I changed the battery once and it still works very good.
I have a 2015 Mac book pro. Its coming up on 10 years. Still works. Has 0 issues and I think still gets updates. it might be a bit slower because the battery is 10 years old and it also has 10 years worth of dirt in its fans. Same could happen to older iPhone. Newer iPhone chips have hardware accelerators build in. So when yo run a new IOS version on those they are efficient. Since older iPhones don't have this they use more battery because the hardware accelerator is absent so it has to brute force newer features. Also the battery ware could cause it to slow down.

Apple is anti-consume, anti-power user, and worst of all anti-right to repair. Ever since I had to work a tech job and service the one group of apple computers in the high school broadcasting classroom when all the others were windows, I promised I'd never buy a single one of their products. The most irritating thing to any tech worker is trying to get an apple product to spit out any kind of information we can use when all it does is the stupid head shake.
There's a 1st mover advantage with technology. In 2010, if you were ssh'ing into servers, doing chat meetings, and email with your iPhone while enjoying the Cannes Film Festival, you were way ahead of the curve, and you probably sold the iPhone to scores of people. The iPhone 2010 version was also only $199 ($289 in 2024 adjusted for inflation). The question to ask is what tech currently offers a first mover advantage?

Ironically it's even worse on the greener side of the mobile world. Most android phones arn't supported for nearly as long as iPhones (though fortunately Google and Samsung's flagship phones have caught up in recent years) and most modern android watches don't want to pair with iPhones or have less functionality when they do than what Apple provides to Android users who want to use Apple Watches and so on. I also don't see anyone complaining about the android messaging features that are exclusives either (like models that have crammed certain end-to-end encryption features over the top of the outdated messaging specs).

The last revolutionary Iphone was the Iphone 4S
Phones have matured. The same way laptops have been matured for years.
Apple is aware people are holding on to their phones for longer (and so is every flagship manufacturer) so this phone isn’t for those that bought the 15 last year, it’s for people that have older phones from the 11,12 and 13 series etc
About 300 million people have an iPhone 13 or older, Apple is trying to get those people to upgrade, you can tell by the number of normally “pro” features they packed into the base model. Heck, half of the iPhone presentation was the base model, they just skimmed over the pro versions. Also, they did direct comparisons with iPhones all the way down to the 11 (which is a first in any Apple Keynote). It’s obvious they’re trying to entice old users as few people who bought the 15 last year or the 14 the year before would want to buy the 16.
These devices last years, I literally have a 5 year old 11 and a 3 year old 13 pro max all running like the day I got them, so I don’t know why you’re saying iPhones only last two years (luckily tons of people in the comments have said that they’re using their iPhones for 5 years or more)
iPhones do all the core things a phone is supposed to do exceptionally well, every other thing is just an added feature that not everyone needs.
Sure I’m not a fan of their pricing and some of their practices, but their devices are worth it for those that like the simplified experience.
I just wish people would understand this and develop past the stage of comparing spec sheets like it actually matters in 2024

As someone who doesn't like apple and iphones for their software and the way they restrict the you the user in what you can do with your phone, I actually quite like the hardware and this 16 series is quite nice upgrades over the older models. As with all other phones, innovation has slowed down, now we just get 30% faster chips, slightly better cameras, small things like this.
@@vali69 exactly
Their hardware is top notch.
Android users can’t seem to grasp the fact that a phone doesn’t need 12 - 16gb of RAM to run smoothly, the only reason androids have that much is because the OS is inefficient
Imagine a 3 year old 13 pro max running like new with just 6gb of RAM. You can’t get that on the Android side of things.
Most of the “features” Android has aren’t really necessary and are things we can all live without. Not all of us spend time messing with our phones, we just need a reliable device that runs well and lasts for years
I don’t get it… it’s been this way for years with incremental improvements as there is not much else to improve on. Do people really expect something completely new and amazing to sweep them off their feet??? Can anyone be happy with what they have? I’ve been rocking an iphone 11 for like 4 years now.

It’s not that Apple intentionally makes iPhones slower with each update, to add new IOS update with more features raises the bar for required performance to run the operating system at a baseline level.
This isn’t exclusive to Apple this is how software works as a whole, you don’t see any 7th gen i3 windows machines running windows 11 because they physically cannot run it.
There could be more or less innovation each year, but overall I think they keep the balance very well. You still get new features on new phones, but they are not absolutely necessary to the point where you feel like you NEED to upgrade each year. And after all, it's just a phone, who needs it to change so much every year.
Don't buy it then.
