Netizens and Apple phone enthusiasts have not liked the latest Apple iPhone and many have termed it as repacking the previous iPhone and relaunching it in 2024. Many users joked that the biggest design change was just moving the camera around, with some even bringing back old memes from past years to highlight how little had actually changed.
Apple officially launched the highly anticipated iPhone 16 series at the Glowtime Event 2024, held at its Cupertino Park headquarters in California on Monday. The much-anticipated launch showcased four new models the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
This is for the first time that Apple has unveiled its artificial intelligence boosted iPhone but even this feature has come under scanner, as features like improvements to Siri and object recognition through camera have faced delays causing frustrating users who wanted to try it. Many AI features won’t be available right now and it might take months before it is rolled out. The staggered rollout of AI features has left many users disappointed. It was expected that considering the high price tag and the hype surrounding the launch all the features would be available right away. Instead, they’re now facing delays, which dampens the excitement around the new AI capabilities of the iPhone 16.
One user joked that Apple keeps making the same products over and over again and expects the customer to buy them.
