It's time for the annual "fruit fans" to carnival together, and Apple's new generation of iPhone16 is about to debut. As a veteran digital critic, I have to sigh: this upgrade really makes people feel like "thunder and rain".
Let's start with the high-profile new button. Apple finally cram a multi-function button into the iPhone 15 Pro, and the result? Very few people have used it. Now the iPhone16 series is going to add a "shooting side button", I just want to say: Apple, Apple, are you too idle? Do you have to find something for users to do? I can already imagine countless fruit fans looking at this new button with a blank face, and then silently treating it as a "mole" on their phones.
Let's talk about the changes in battery capacity. The battery capacity of the basic version of the iPhone 16 has skyrocketed from 3349 mAh to 3561 mAh, and I give full marks for this wave of operation! But the iPhone 16 Plus did the opposite, plummeting from 4383 mAh to 4006 mAh. Are Apple's engineers drinking too much? Or do you think Plus users are all power bank collectors? But then again, who's going to buy Plus now? Probably only "real · battery life enthusiasts" will be upset about this.
The most laughable thing is the change in battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. Pro is up 2.5% and Max is up 5%. OMG! This increase is as small as the annual increase in my salary. Does Apple think that users are microscope-level "power connoisseurs"?
To be honest, after reading these so-called "major upgrades", I just want to say: Apple, Apple, are you already exhausted? The biggest highlight of the new model turned out to be a button that could be forgotten and a slight change in battery capacity. If it weren't for my work, I wouldn't be interested in paying attention.
What's even more ridiculous is that the most attractive AI features of the iPhone 16 series may not be available in China. It's like buying a Ferrari and only finding out that you can only walk around the neighborhood. Apple, what are you going to do? Do you think Chinese users are easy to bully?
However, having said that, even so, I believe that there will still be a large number of fruit fans rushing to buy new machines one after another. After all, in this era of looking at faces, some people would rather save money than change to a new iPhone, just to show it in the circle of friends. To this, I just want to say: buy and cherish, use and cherish. After all, what "surprises" will the next iPhone bring?
Finally, I can't help but ask: in this era of rapid technological development, should we redefine what true innovation is? Is it a pile of meaningless keys, or does it solve the actual needs of users? Apple, Apple, do you remember Steve Jobs's "stay hungry, stay foolish"? Are you left with "stay foolish"?
