This is the best summary I could come up with:

Apple fans have attacked the new iPhone 15 on social media, describing it as "disappointing" and "underwhelming."

"I'll never leave Apple but the iPhone 11-15 are all the same exact phones," said one user in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Other Apple fans posting on X described the new iPhone lineup as "underwhelming" and said the lack of innovation left them "tempted to go back to Android."

"Launching iterative phones is one thing but this year's base 15 models are a slap in the face to loyal customers who (are) locked into the ecosystem and need an upgrade," they added.

The latest range of iPhones did feature a number of changes from previous models – most notably switching from the company's lightning charger to USB-C. Apple said that it had no choice but to make the change after coming under pressure from European regulators to adopt the standard.

However, this new feature has also attracted criticism from fans because it limits users to just one action at a time.

LG Prada.

As always, Apple "borrows" innovation while others take the actual risk.

I don't know if Lemmy is degrading already or if the Apple fan boys and girls have just migrated en masse, but this thread sucks.

Apple sucks, they don't innovate. They wait for others to test innovation in the market, then they copy it and market as their own.
the people saying stop expecting new features/designs every year are missing the larger point, they shouldn't be releasing phones on a one year cycle in the first place AND, if they are, it better be for a reason (e.g. New features/designs)
those saying, "not news" are apologist shills - it's never wrong to call out corporate violent and endless greed.
Did you know that people who's comments say "LOL" in a dismissive gesture are statistically likely to never wipe their assess after going to the bathroom?

Was there anything as good or innovative as the first iPhone before it?
