Why they don”t talk about iphone 20?
That's a great point. Also, I'm so sick of hearing the same old camera upgrades every model. I mean does anyone actually care if the camera is improved year to year? That's not exciting or innovative!! I couldn't care less if I have the iPhone 12 camera or iPhone 15 camera. It's time to actually innovate instead of playing leapfrog with Samsung every year based on a camera. The other thing is Samsung foldable is nice, but has flaws. Apple has been claiming they have been working on the same thing for about 7 years but want to perfect it first. Does it really take 6 years to perfect the foldable phone? Please say there is something more exciting than what has been coming out year after year. Nothing about a new phone ever in my opinion is an exciting must have. iPhone innovations and neat new tricks are ludicrous to me. Maybe Apple needs to start selling major appliances soon too?
