There is, however, a catch.

So no, it's not the port.

    What's with the sensationalist article? Others also only promise a minimum and have given more updates than promised before, but when Apple does it, somehow it is special or what?

        What others promise also is just the minimum..

          Pbata, 06 Jun 2024Apple posts its minimum. While Samsung posts its maximum.... moreNo, they gived exactly what they promised. They're promised two back in early 2010s era and they gives two. Promised 3 in 2019s era and they gives 3.

            PatrickCzech, 08 Jun 2024Contracts. Oh yeah. In the US mostly. But I am not from US ... moreI'd say it's ha lot in the west in general. In the UK most people take contracts too. It's easier and in some cases cheaper

              Ouifuf, 06 Jun 2024I'm.not saying everyone is like that. But the majority... moreContracts. Oh yeah. In the US mostly. But I am not from US thankfully.

                Anonymous, 06 Jun 2024NVME is slower than UFS 4.0. On paper yes.

                Then you see real-life videos of copying dozens of gigs to and from an iPhone 15 pro and an S23 ultra through its usb-c port, and the former is faster.

                  Android-Never-Again, 07 Jun 2024wow it's the end of the line for appleLol but if more and more people do the same its will do happend

                    Alishah, 07 Jun 2024It is speculated that the iOS 18 will only support devices ... moreiPhone Xs and 11 (A12+A13) NPU are pretty much the same and they only have 4GB of RAM so no AI features for them.
                    A14-A16 also don't have that high of NPU perf and only 4-6GB of RAM again not enough for serious AI.
                    I would say only 15 Pro (Max) get AI features because A17 improved NPU enough and Apple gave 8GB of RAM.

                      RealLifePhones, 06 Jun 2024the 5c that came out with the 5s only got 3 though and not ... moreIt is speculated that the iOS 18 will only support devices released after 2018. So maybe theyll pass on the Xs owning to the fact that much of this version is based on AI, which the Xs may not be able to handle. Then again, they're also expected to give the UI some polish, like in the Mail app, and introduce a new 'Passwords' app, so who knows, the Xs my get a trimmed version of the iOS 18.

                        Speedy , 06 Jun 2024There is no reason to apply an extremely long support cycle... moreYou are false.

                          Anonymous, 06 Jun 2024No 7 years software support = no buy. No 120hz screen on... moreDid you even read the post regarding the first point?

                                Kek, 06 Jun 2024iphones do not use UFS. They use faster NVME. NVME is slower than UFS 4.0.

                                  No 7 years software support = no buy.

                                  No 120hz screen on 800USD model = no buy.

                                  No 3rd party app store = no buy.

                                  Great deal breaker from Apple.

                                      5 years is actually more than enough. I've had an iPhone 6s, and it was supported for 7 years. I've since moved back to android and never been happier.
