Op you're absolutely right. I watched the event and was expecting something 'new' only to be disappointed in the end. The new iPhone 13 line up should have been a 12s series instead. The S21 ultra still topples it unfortunately even when it's older.

Apple should really step up their game, become more innovative and stop relying on the loyalty of their customer base to keep dishing out same phones every year.

Fingers crossed waiting to see what Samsung has to offer in the up and coming S22 ultra. In my honest opinion though I think they should all stop releasing phones every other year !

I own the 11 pro, there was no 'new' innovation in the 12, and now the 13's lack of innovation is worse. I will just hold on to my phone jeje and if money enter my hand I buy the S21 ultra to enjoy a premium phone.

Same shii again, Apple releases another device which, let's face it is no different from the 12 and old features

1. 120hz RR (165hz redmagic 6s says hi) but many don't care about it

2. Emergency satellite feature you can pay your carrier to include (depends on your carrier though)

3. A15 (A14 got thermal throttling issues under sustained load, what's to say its the same with the A15 given the fab is somewhat the same)

4. Cameras haven't seen any significant jump since the 11. Always the same BS

5. Design - at this point, I think they're running out of ideas and would resort to sourcing from Android

KrazyDave16:

@bolded... I'm itching for some snide comment bout this your discovery but nah... Depends on the network u using you can activate the esim and guessing its an xs or xr as I remember people going gaga over it but implementation was rather slow by our carriers.

I meant physical sim and not esim. The sim tray has ‘two face’.

Little boy...


Getest thou behind me with your silliness.

In your bid to sound like a savage, you ended up making a complete and utter fool of yourself. Learn to comprehend and ask questions where necessary. If you've been following apple since the passing away of Steve jobs, you would note that nothing new or worthy of being termed an innovation has been made. No new feature, tech. Rather while the world moves on, they chose to stick to outdated designs just so as not to seem as copying android. Refresh rates that has being a feature on even low end and midrange phones, is what apple just introduced, and it's still limited to the pro series.
But please do well to tell me what new feature is on the iPhone 13 series that may be considered new or groundbreaking
That's what I mean by apple died when Steve jobs died

You talk too much, an appalling attribute better suited for market women in Ariaria Market.

You don't have the cash to afford an iPhone, why not stick to your android and stop making noise?

A12, A13, A14, A15 Bionic Chip. These are the fastest processors ever to exist at the time they were released.

The iPhone 13 series has the A15 bionic Chip. This alone is enough to topple any innovation. It took Tesla 5 years to design their own processor for the Self driving Car and they stopped buying from NVIDIA. If you are not technical enough to know this, you know you are not in the best position to do some review

I switched from Samsung to iPhone.

No regrets at all.

You sound not just pained but frustrated not just with your life but with the entirety of everything you stand for and hope to achieve. When has criticism of a product(one I also use) become a crime. If you are too poor to afford basic things of life such as a mobile phone that cost from $800-&1000, then don't turn try to rope me into your pitiable state.
Judging from the nonsense you you typed up there, one can easily deduce that you ain't just a kid but an uneducated one, whose joy is to troll others to satiate and compensate for the fact that you are an urchin unable to afford what peers your age see as nothing.

every September we have to go through this over and over again. Una no dey rest. Please tell us Houdini dey magic you'd perform to give a phone on below 3000mAh a 120Hz refresh rate on 5G??
FYI Apple used 120Hz way back in 2017 in their iPad way back when your mainstream Android big boy never did.
Apple is dead, Apple is dead yet no Android flagship phone line sold 100 million pieces maybe na ghost dey buy them.

Yeah they fast but are they fully utilized?
It's not about being fast, it's about being fast and being able to use em to max instead of having em somewhat limited.

The M1 on the iPads are wasting away, waiting for devs to build apps that'll use the SoC for what it was intended for aside an overpriced media/school tablet by many...

Plus you saying that last 4 gens of the Bionic chips amongst the fatsest (and they are still), what's the point of a new one if performance across the board is literally the same/only a handful of people will notice em talk less of use the power brought about by each generation of bionics?

Besides you seeing the A15 as an innovation alone (something that's pretty standard at this point) goes to show you don't know what true innovation means.

Android phones using the same waterdrop and punchhole display is new ideas right but the iPhone with the now iconic notch is running out of idea.
Please since you have so many, tell us what design choice you'd do knowing that you can't use punchhole because of FaceID.

As your brand is touted for being "innovative", ask them instead to perform some innovative wonders abi they waiting for Android to do it so they can "perfect it"?
Also can't they adapt to what their target audience is asking for (which is to bring the Touch ID back in place or in sync with the Face ID).

P.s. - you aren't, will never be a part of their target audience. Now run along and look for who to trigger while saving up to snatch a used iPhone 13 so you can come here and claim bragging rights.

Apparently you're trolling or not yourself tonight, point out where I stated that making another generation of devices is an innovation.

My point is the guy calling the A15 an innovation. Since you want to start a fight you cannot end/win, point out where that innovation is in the A15, I'll wait.

How is the faster Chipset an innovation when in reality it doesn't improve the life of the user in anyway. If you have used the 10, 11 and then the 12, then trust me you won't notice any single difference in the day to day usage including gaming.

Talk about 120hz display, talk about superfast charging, talk about Usb C and ease of file transfer, how about multi tasking? The iOS is still very much limited in performing very basic tasks a 'smart phone' should be able to perform with ease and it can get quite frustrating having used an android before.

The boxy design is a mess. But everybody is acting like it's the best thing after slice bread. You can't hold your 12 pro max for long without getting really uncomfortable due to the boxy edges. The edges of the 11 line up and it's predecessors are more natural and would give you a good and comfortable grip.

Ps: I also use the Mac but I had to install windows 10 on it for more productivity. The machines are powerful but very limited in terms of Software. So innovation for me would be more about user friendliness and ability to perform day to day tasks with ease. Thank you.

Bro, my grouse ain't with the pad series but the iPhone. I use an iPhone 11 pro and when the 12 series came out without nay major chnages, I was quite disappointed. And then everyone thought that the 13 series would make up for all the features their android counterparts has been churning out. But no!!!
My criticism ain't coming from a place of hate but rather I'm just a disappointed user whose hope was quickly dashed after waiting for so long. Cos I don't see myself getting a new iPhone just because of a higher refresh rate. Hope you get my point?

Maybe your disappointment is warranted from your POV. If you're using Android users perspective to judge the iPhone then that's a lost cause. Putting the iPhone against a single Android OEM and the iPhone will win 90% of the time. What they do is use every available Android OEM (whatever advantage they have to bash the iPhone).
Fast/Dash Charging - Charging a phone generate heat and in battery tech Heat is not good. For a phone designed to last 5 years and having a small battery capacity, what do you think 66W fast charging will do to the battery?
That's just one example..
If you look at it from a holistic perspective, Android OEMs have so many competition that they need anything to distinguish their product since they all run on the same OS. What will differentiate a Samsung from Xiaomi that have both have OLED display running on SD888, both have 108MP main cameras if not little things like battery size, camera zoom range, fast charging tech and so on. I don't know if you get the point. Like how often do you think people take zoom photos at 100x range?
But if someone wants to compare to the iPhone, they will say this has 100x zoom, iPhone doesn't but the main point of the 100x zoom was for the Android phone to differentiate or have some advantage over other Android in the market not that it was really a necessary feature.
Why you see one generation of Android have telephoto camera another will have periscope zoom.

A15 bionic chip is the Fastest on any sMartphone in the world. Apple didn’t promise you innovation in the iPhone 13 but a faster processor. After all 11, 12, and 13 are the same prices. You can’t tell me Windows is more productive than MacBook lol. You are more funnier than I thought you would. I stopped using Windows in 2017 and I have been using Mac and Linux for programming, I will never use Windows.

I’m currently using the 12pro Max, and I have set up
My Apple Pay to preorder the 13proMax. No one is and no should expect any difference. Many users have not even explored the 11 to its maximum capacity so you won’t feel anything new.

KrazyDave16:

I didn’t say it was an an innovation. Just as Apple didn’t mention it as an innovation. I said it is enough to topple any innovation to ever happen. This is the fastest processor on any smartphone in the world. A15 bionic chip is not meant for Smartphones only. I leave you to search for what this cheap can be even deployed for in the world of electronics programming…


Again, The prices of 11,12 and 13 are just as the same. So what exactly is the rant about being better

KrazyDave16:

When they have nothing to say always come up with the personal attack.
You said "same notch design", if you are truly a techy then you should know the notch is a functional design.
Android phones that copied the notch design did as if it was a trend. Few that tried to incorporate the FaceID tech abandoned it as it's expensive to put on a mobile. Samsung came out with the punchhole and waterdrop design around the same time as the notch which also is a functional design but each year that Android OEMs release new phones with the same punchhole or waterdrop design, I don't see anybody saying " oh! same punchhole design".
It's so frustrating to see people that should know better joining the bandwagon to say something that should only be used in a motorpark argument

TheN1:
I still don't understand how apple does it. They just sell the same exact phone as last year, move the camera around and the whole world starts scrambling for it.

With all the disadvantages like lack of in screen fingerprint scanner, big notch, small battery etc. It's almost as if their fans are 'hypnotised'.
I mean, I can understand if people just like apple phones and decide to wait till there is a drastic change in design, but switching from 11 to 12 and now 13 is just crazy. Almost same design and spec for a ridiculous price.

I really admire the apple marketing team, those guys are geniuses. You don't need to do illegal stuff to scam people.

You never owned the 11 pro. You are a Samsung fanatics and it’s a good thing! But trying to tear through Apple in other to make SS look okay is funny.

Just a little reminder, Samsung does chip for Apple and never was a phone producing company. They stole apple designs which they paid heavily for! I have used Samsung devices before and in all true sense cannot compare with apple devices.

It is like comparing XBOX with the PlayStation, they are world apart!

Apple is similar to transsion and Glo

I’ve come to understand that most people badmouthing iPhones haven’t used it before and are just doing so because other people are doing same.

Also can't they adapt to what their target audience is asking for (which is to bring the Touch ID back in place or in sync with the Face ID).

The thing is, Fingerprint unlock is highly unsafe. There’s been a lot of scenarios where a person’s device was opened without their consent while asleep or forcefully opened under duress. This is impossible to do with the FaceId.

I’m happy Apple did away with TouchId and hope they don’t bring it back.
