The War on iPhone Users: Apple’s Desperate Attempt to Make Us Pay Up
Apple’s latest move is a thinly veiled attempt to squeeze every last penny out of their loyal (and not-so-loyal) customers. By withholding features from the "standard" iPhone and forcing us to upgrade to the Pro model, Apple is trying to create a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) and get us to shell out even more cash for the "privilege" of having the latest and greatest.
But it looks like this year, Apple might finally be forced to play fair. Rumors are circulating that the entire iPhone 16 series will get the same A18 chipset, bringing some much-needed balance to the iPhone ecosystem. And let’s be real, it’s about time. For years, Apple has been holding back features from the regular iPhone, forcing us to upgrade to the Pro model just to get the latest and greatest.
The Great Button Heist
But it’s not just about the chipset. Apple is also rumored to be introducing not one, but two new buttons on the regular iPhone. The action button, introduced on last year’s Pro models, and the capture button, which we’re expecting to see on the iPhone 16. More buttons! In this economy! It’s a slap in the face to all the hardworking iPhone users out there who can’t afford to upgrade to the Pro model.
The Scandal of the 60Hz Screen
And let’s not forget the elephant in the room: the 60Hz screen. It’s 2024 and Apple is still charging top dollar for a phone with a screen that’s slower than a 2010s-era smartphone. It’s a joke. Android phones at every price point offer 120Hz displays, and Apple can’t even be bothered to keep up.
The Mini iPhone: A Pipe Dream
But the real question is, will Apple bring back the Mini iPhone? It’s the only way to truly bring balance to the iPhone ecosystem. Without the Mini, the regular iPhone will always be held back, forced to play second fiddle to the Pro model. But until then, we’re stuck with a mediocre phone that’s only getting more expensive.
So, Apple, listen up. We’re not buying it. We’re not going to shell out top dollar for a phone that’s held back by outdated technology and a lack of innovation. It’s time to bring back the Mini and give us the iPhone we deserve.
