    I actually kind of like that Apple has become a boring and iterative company for the most part. I just use the same glass and metal rectangle until a few months after my upgrade eligibility on my work plan (because I always forget when it is), then I get whichever glass and metal rectangle is cheap now. I routinely forget which iPhone I use, and my life is no worse because of it.

    Okay, I just looked it up. It’s a 13, and I did remember, but I was not at all confident.

      Understated. I’m so happy my upgrade from a 10 to a 15 (I think it’s a 15?) was boring. I don’t need to learn a lot of nee ways to use my smartphone, I just need to replace it and get back to my life.

    The sleep apnea feature on the watch is cool and the hearing aid feature on the airpods are cool. Not enough for me to buy them but i like that they keep adding health features

      well yeah but i have to admit, the pink color is awesome. if it didn’t have to get that damn chatgpt integration, i would ditch android. been on the edge for a while.

        Not that I personally would ever switch to iPhone because there is still a lack of sideloading open source software; but could you just not use the chat gpt integration?

        It seems they are actually trying to not data harvest with all the AI stuff, there is quite a focus on privacy respecting server architecture and clearly defined conformations for the user for when something runs off device, or even off of Apple’s cloud (e.g. Chat GPT). I believe they even made their backend third party verifyable (although I’ve only seen their claims about this, I haven’t actually followed up).

        Anyway, plenty of reasons to dislike apple, I’m sure they still collect data, but why not just ignore the Chat GPT functionality?

        I personally prefer the Pixel 9’s pink; it’s a bit more vibrant, at least on the pictures.

        Still no cool colours for the Pro models, though (apart from the Pixel 9 Pro’s light pink)

    It’s nice that Apple for once introduced a nice feature for others to copy, the camera button. I loved those on my Lumia and Xperia phones.

    Everything else is just meh… the normal 16 comes in some cool colours at least

      I only have marques brown’s comment to back this up, but he said the two stage camera button doesn’t do anything yet but it’s coming in a future update. I’m baffled how Apple feels okay releasing this new hardware without the software to support it.

      I’m kinda confused on why this button is helpful. If you open the camera app on iOS, hitting either volume button will take a picture.
