Flashback: Apple is slow to adopt new tech, but only on iPhones

18 September 2022
The 12" MacBook from 2015 was one of the first devices to adopt USB-C, the iPhones will be one of the last to do it.

It's a good read, but not sure how bothered everyone would be about a part two, it's essentially an article taking Apple to get their tech up to date on their iPhone's.

seeing how they've actually gone backward with their iPhone 14/Plus models this year with the save processor as last year's 13 Pros, it's unlikely they'll ever want to include the latest technology in their iPhone's. People will continue to buy then regardless.

      Apple takes years to adopt new technologies and GSMArena still doesn't have a dark mode.

If we eliminate brands and go by only the best latest flagship chip in the market then there are more users who have phones with sd 8 gen 1 then the same year bionic 15 or what was it. That would be fair comparison as there is no other unique OS that only 1 brand uses to compare the selling numbers with IOS.

              Even the base iPad will get USB-C soon. Let that sink in.

                          Motorola had the notch like 12 years before apple

                            Slowest to adopt new tech but fastest to remove beneficial tech

                              Not only these Apple is late to bring some more features like widgets they introduced with iOS 14, file system they added sometime in last decade but it is still of no use today, and punch holes. They finally got rid of the notch and came up with a pill shaped big one which is still more distracting compared to Androids and on top of that the dynamic island eating up more screen estate. So I think they are still late in providing a clean less distracting screens.

                                  GSM Arena accidentally makes a writeup about the dynamics of ecosystem abuse. Since Apple has a dominant position on phones in the market they prioritise, they use that to lock users in with proprietary hardware. Meanwhile, they have to compete to gain market shares on PC, so they make sure to be early adopters on "PC technology".

                                  Antitrust: It just works!

                                      The technology needs to be adopted and tested

                                        Like the mention that LCD screens also have the capability of AOD display

                                        Let's not forget the LG G5 that beat Samsung's OLED version in efficiency

                                        But people think LCD can't do it efficiently and think that LTPO is the only way those people just don't know any better and underestimate how diverse technology inherently is

                                        But what can you do I guess people feel personally attacked if you challenge an idea especially of those said people only listen to people of similar views
