Apple users are just sheeple. Apple will sell a phone that doesn't charge and people will still buy it.

For the 599 price, two things are inexcusable:
> No UWB support (meaning those invested in AirTags and other UWB devices, can't get full Find My capabilities)
> No MagSafe (I've been charging my 12 mini and 15 with MagSafe for the last 3-4 years)
This product just makes the 16 look like a better deal, especially in India, where you can get the 16 for just 4K INR (~45 USD) more. I hope the future iterations make a LOT more sense than this.

We are comparing iPhone 15 with this. If you’re going to rant about Android, I have a different post you can reply to where I did point out about the pricing.

And Apple's 2x crop is still pretty nice so you're not going to miss the telephoto too much. All that'll matter is the 120 hz screen not being there and the ugly notch.

Unfortunately, there isn't a technological USP yet to consider Apple devices over a plethora of alternatives, that offer the same functionality, at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention how extreme and unnatural those beautification functions are, as well as making darker skin tones look pale.

And was I wrong about social media optimisation? I can't use a social media app's camera on my S22 Ultra but i can easily do that on an iPhone.
Like, I'm sorry but for an average person this is still a good phone, just a horrendous deal outside of America for a good phone.
