As always, Apple "borrows" innovation while others take the actual risk.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Apple fans have attacked the new iPhone 15 on social media, describing it as "disappointing" and "underwhelming."
"I'll never leave Apple but the iPhone 11-15 are all the same exact phones," said one user in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Other Apple fans posting on X described the new iPhone lineup as "underwhelming" and said the lack of innovation left them "tempted to go back to Android."
"Launching iterative phones is one thing but this year's base 15 models are a slap in the face to loyal customers who (are) locked into the ecosystem and need an upgrade," they added.
The latest range of iPhones did feature a number of changes from previous models – most notably switching from the company's lightning charger to USB-C. Apple said that it had no choice but to make the change after coming under pressure from European regulators to adopt the standard.
However, this new feature has also attracted criticism from fans because it limits users to just one action at a time.
