How is IPhone not innovative anymore or keep churning out the same product??

Calling 5G in iPhone 12 revolutionary something that other brand are rocking for the last 2 years, bringing back iPhone 5 block design on iPhone 12 and that ugly notch. IPhone engineers are lazy its 2020 they should think bigger not different . Same design year in year out old wine in new wine skin, I used iPhone for 2 weeks damn boring it's just for swag otherwise real smartphone guru knows where to put there money on. Well different strokes for different folks

Revolutionary because it's the first Apple product with 5G and not because other brands didn't have it.
And I just knew you'd mention the notch. Do you even know why iPhone has the notch??
Mention any smartphone that uses 3D facial recognition security that doesn't have a notch??
What Android phones use is face unlock that uses 2D facial recognition which is less secured.
Find the IPhone 11 and iPhone 12, you'll notice the design difference.

That's exactly what am saying apple probably not listening to there customers, using face ID during this corona virus with everyone using mask is a disaster and the customer express their struggle but guess what despite the complait people will still buy it its called brand loyalty, then there's also fast charging, 120hz refresh rate to mention a few. Ipad Pro 2020 has face ID but no notch, the phone can also get faceID without notch but they won't do it. Mnm I really admire Apple but they're not innovative anymore

For every 65k Xiaomi you buy, Apple sells 350,000k iPhone. Now do the maths... Apple doesn't need to be on top of the list to make mad profits. Apple is competing with Aramco for the public traded company with the largest capital market share... That's Saudi Arabia owned oil company...
Y'all android fan boys are always looking for a little chart or ranking to hate on Apple but it's $2 trillion y'all
but facts has shown that android sold higher than apple

IPad pro hides its Face ID under the bezel, it was the first product to have a 120Hz refresh rate. The IPhone can do the same but it'll have to have a "large" bezel all round the phone. The notch was a brilliant idea. When it came out, how many android OEM copied the design?
For a phone that'll be around and still running the latest iOS version in 5years, do you know what fast charging will do to its battery??
Apple clearly state in their iphone12 support document that they had to choose between fast refresh rate or 5G seeing that both drained the battery very much.
I'd like to tell you the why and why but I'm too tired to do that seeing that you probably just want an Android device with the Apple logo

Apple is on the decline. If not for Trump that banned Huawei simply to protect apple while making it look like security threat, Apple would have been toast by now. Everybody knows Apple doesn't give value for money

Nope. Oneplus is not. And if you don't know that then you are just speaking based on sentiment and not research. Oneplus is a brand oriented company. Good day bro

Check out Huawei P40 pro & Mate 40 pro & Pro +they all have 3D face recognition and have more functions than Apple..... 3D is good but they should try as much as possible to minimise it.... And make their phone look more pleasant...My wife use iPhone and hate the notch...thats why she keep buying iPhone 8 plus again and again!!!

The Huawei that had it was the mate 20 I guess and it had a notch same with the LG G8 and Pixel 4. They both had notches. Do you know how costly it is to put such tech on a phone? Why isn't the likes of Google, LG and Huawei putting it on their phones again. Do you know how many sensors are hidden in the notch for a secured 3D facial recognition?. The consumers don't know so it's easier to just say it's a 3D facial recognition scanner, Even Samsung markets their phone has having 3D facial recognition. It takes more than just a ToF sensor to make a secured 3D facial scanner.
Your wife hates the notch because she doesn't understand its relevant. I'm probably guessing that to her she thinks it's a design which android phones have moved on from so Apple should too.

It’s funny how a person being exploited will brag about that fact. How does Apple ripping you off benefit YOU? Apple is making tons of profit off you and you are happily boasting about it? I really do not understand people. If I am able to get the same utility and durability out of a cheaper item, I should be happy as a consumer and not the other way around.

Defending multi-trillion dollar companies that are out to nickel and dime you to increase revenue makes me feel the Reality Distortion Field (RDF) really does exist.

while we're doing comedy nite, isn't it also funny how you can talk about Reality Distortion Field (RDF) and then project your own reality on others and don't see the irony in it.
You buy phone A because it meets your criteria and value assumption doesn't mean everybody has to follow the same path. So people that want the simplicity of the IOS ecosystem, they should abandon their own needs because you buy a cheaper android and it's good for you so everybody should do the same?

"All fingers are not equal", " one man food is another man's poison"
For ages, the idea behind these clauses has been repeated time and time again in so many different words and form yet you that don't understand it is talking about RDF

Samsung, Apple and the likes are they not selling in Africa, China and India also? Leave sentiment aside bud, when these various companies calculate the earnings do they exempt their sales from the African market? Is the Africa market as fierce as the India or Asian market or the likes where they prioritize quality as the main thing?
