I've been watching these iPhone keynotes year after year now, and I got to admit this one
is the most boring of them all.
There was nothing and I mean absolutely nothing, apart from the Apple watch, was exciting.
I know the S upgrade is never a flashy one, but this event was just plain boring.
It seemed like they didn't even try.
Yeah, the improvements are there, but most of them you can't even notice; It's definitely
not an exciting for Apple fans.
Iphone XS is basically the iphone X, the XS Max is an attempt to compete with the Galaxy
Note and the XR looks like every other Cheap chinese iphone X clone.
And I don't understand why people are excited about the iPhone XR, I mean it doesn't even
has a FHD screen and has a freaking 6.1" display and we're talking about a phone that's being
released in 2018.
Display should be your number one priority before buying a phone because that's the one
feature of the phone that you're gonna always use and that's one of the the reasons I like
to buy Samsung phones because I know for a fact that I'm gonna get the best display in
the business.
I can only imagine how crappy experience you're gonna get on this display and to make this
things worse, this one cost $750 before tax and people are calling this a budget phone.
$750 has become a budget phone now...wow how times have changed.
And the Xs max is overpriced as well.
Compare it to the note 9 which has the S pen, bigger battery and twice the storage for the
base model (and is $200 cheaper for the 512 GB) and you may see the XS max's price is
steep.
It's a good phone but the price is nuts.
And now Apple will no longer provide the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter with the iPhone.
It makes me sad that a trillion dollar company can't give you a $9 dongle for free.
And we have Samsung on the other hand which gives you over $300 of goodies for absolutely
free when you buy their flagships.
I know it's a business strategy, Apple will make millions with this move, For every dongle
sold that uses the lightning interface Apple will get paid.
It's Smart on their part but sad at the same time.
Apple isn't afraid of thinking they need to squeeze every penny out of everybody.
A typical Apple style of printing easy money from their fans ...
And what do I say about the naming scheme...It's a huge mess.
It's confusing and very Chinese like which sound cheap to be honest.
Apple really needs to streamline things.
It'd make sense if they just used the Mac naming system.
iPhone and iPhone Pro, with years and screen sizes differentiating them.
It was a huge problem for Apple back then before Steve Jobs returned.
It was one of his first orders of business to fix.
now that he's gone, they seem to be having the same trouble.
Tim Cook called the devices by far the most advanced iPhone we have ever created.
Look, It's not that impressive to make a phone more advanced than the last one, you can just
make the same phone with the new improved tech from the last year and call it "more
advanced".
The impressive thing is innovation, something that Apple has struggled with ever since they
lost Steve Jobs.
Apple used to be revolutionary, now they're just operating like a fashion brand.
Not better than the alternatives, just more expensive, because they have made millions
believe that their products reach the luxury level their price tags hold.
That being said, let me know your thoughts on the 2018 iPhones in the comments below
and I'll see you tomorrow...Peace out!
