      Setting 60Hz ( exactly what I do on my phone) does not spare me from paying extra cost of 120Hz ( hardware and software).

      I paid for something with ZERO utility to me.

      Single rear cam would be good too.

        And for consumers just the outcome is relevant.

          Apple getting their watch banned is a hilarious outcome, it's probably their most under used accessory.

          The iPhone 15 Pro was the first phone to use the 3nm process. That's a pretty big deal.

            I jumped from years of Android to iOS this year if solely, to use the iPhone 13 mini for a few years.

            But after thats done, I dont think I will stick around. They honestly have nothing exciting on this side and I still dont understand why people are so loyal to this brand. Most of their products are locked down and expensive on top of that, not to mention they love not giving you options. Anything has to be approved by them

                They became so boring that after being a user for 14 years I don't want even to look at their stuff as we can predict their line up for the next 5 years.

                    Biggest loser: Apple Watch, it got banned.
                    Runner up loser: A17 Pro. The 3nm hype was demolished by overheating issues.

                    Biggest winner: M3 lineup. Macbook Pro lineup got streamlined, iMac finally got updated.
                    Runnerup: iPhone 15/15 Plus. Actually a very nice base iPhone, with USB-C, 48MP camera, best battery life, and dynamic island. Despite the enthusiasts bashing it, it's a sure winner for most people vs the problematic 15 Pro/Pro Max (build quality, overheating, etc).

                      ProG4merPlus, 24 Dec 2023It's funny that Apple the biggest tech company failed ... moreHuawei has been in the cellular backbone industry, making a lot of networking hardware that your provider and ISP use. So Huawei does have the experience and expertise already.

                      Apple never made anything related to cellular network themselves. Their modem side is what they bought from intel. So in a sense, Apple is just starting out.

                        Anonymous, 24 Dec 2023I wish I could have flagship with 60Hz. Every 120hz phone can be used in 60hz mode

                        There is an option to set it to 60hz

                        Funny, you guys still don't know that

                          Anonymous, 24 Dec 2023The vanilla iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus should also be in ... moreat least 90 hz should've been given like the pixel 7 and pixel 7a

                            The vanilla iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus should also be in the loser. Imagine paying almost $1000 for a 60Hz screen when the rest can easily give 120Hz screen.

                                    I bet someone will write everything is bad just because it’s from Apple. The fact Apple exists gets them so worked up that they will spend Christmas posting about how much they hate Apple, silly

                                        It's funny that Apple the biggest tech company failed on making a 5G modem but Huawei succeed in making a full processor with integrated 5G modem and all of that is under a crazy amount of sanctions😂😂😂
