            Apple went "nah too many changes in a year"

              or burns?

                And as a consumer who spends my own money on these things, I'll take Apple's 'only do it when it can be done right' approach over the Android oem standard of 'Who cares if it works right or not, nobody else has it right now so just put it out there' every time.

                Nobody is perfect of course and mistakes still can happen, but as a consumer I do appreciate Apple's more cautious and deliberate approach to new tech / features.

                  -Trix-, 12 Apr 2023What issues you have had? For me iOS16 been flawless.I can't say I've had a flawless experience, I get the occasional hiccup. I've not had 99% of the issues I see brought up in the various 'iOS is getting worse' or 'iOS 16 is messy' YouTube video's or web articles I have seen though.

                    Yeah, no sh!t. The solid state buttons are solutions looking for a problem. There's nothing wrong with the physical buttons.

                      Apple has long been history, they stopped working 3 years ago, limitations, bugs, no new technologies, only new prices, higher.

                        Perhaps they decided to just skip it after all the comments on solid state buttons

                            Codedslam, 12 Apr 2023The Only Changes On The 15 Is Just The Charging Port, Ever... moreMaybe just a slightly better chipset, possibly better display? I read somewhere that 14 Pro has a massive issue with burn in after 6 months, especially because of non movable AOD and some people are reporting that dynamic island is causing burn in for some reason too.

                              Yup it was too good to be true. Usb-c, titanium frame AND solid-state buttons in the same year? Apple fans would vomit from the changes lol

                                The Only Changes On The 15 Is Just The Charging Port,
                                Every Other Thing Remain The Same

                                  If it hasn't been done by Android players Apple will not implement it. Androids break the ground first then Apple perfects the technology.

                                    They should focus on iOS 17. iOS 16 has too many issues for so called most stable & smooth software, i personally don't care if the buttons are physical or solid-state whatever name they use.
