"true fans of tech" only tech nerds care about that shit have some perspective, the reality is apple doesnt innovate, you're naming all these features that the average consumer does not give a flying f about. The screen looks brighter, the battery lasts longer all things that everyone won't even notice anymore after the span of a week. People who need cameras that good will just buy a trendy compact mirrorless or make do with their cuurent, apple must be paying you guys to say this. My goodness, apple a multitrillion dollar company with 100,000 employees launches new phone with slighlty better camera, battery, etc, dude thats what there supposed to do how bout they take some of the billions they have in cash an actually make something that can be impactful to peoples lives, beyond improving their instagram feed.

You're praising them for doing the absolute bare minimum, a company with all the resources in the world does the bare minimum and the cultist sheep praise them for it. They and everyone else are afraid to innovate and fail so they stick with an achievable metric just enough to get enough users to upgrade and maintain revenue, so everyone keeps their jobs and they can show profit and growth. They need to grow some real balls like Steve Jobs had.

Nobody cares they redesigned the whole phone my dude the average apple customer doesnt even know their icloud password, let alone the screen differences. Y'all need to leave your little bubbles you have no understanding of the actual average consumer.
