The iPhone 16 isn’t selling as well as Apple may have hoped
The iPhone 16 isn’t selling as well as Apple may have hoped
Apple had been counting on new artificial intelligence features to make the iPhone 16 a major hit. But pre–sale estimates point to a more muted early response than Apple had hoped.
Waiting for Apple to somehow try and link low sales to their repairability additions.
Or USB-C requirements.
Since switching almost everything to USB-C I’m really annoyed with the number of lazy/cheap implementations which means you can only use the one cable provided with the product. I suspect Apple are saving their USB-C excuse for the switch to wireless only charging to maintain water resistance not possible with USB-C. So we all have to go out and buy MagSafe chargers which are suddenly more expensive to manufacture and are not included in the box for environmental reasons.
Time to activate programmed obscelecense protocols
Oops I said the quiet part out loud
Capitalism has destroyed the middle class and absorbed all of the wealth...
No one has disposable income to upgrade to a phone that has no major feature changes over the one that came out over 5 years ago.
Until workers are seen as assets rather than expenditures, the enshittification of all facets of life under capitalism will continue to get worse.
Who needs one? Does it do anything the 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 can’t do, that is actually useful?
I’ve posted this same comment many times… I’m still on the ‘X’ and the most compelling reason I have to upgrade is my case is falling apart, and if I’m going to get a new case anyway…
