    Yeah, marginal camera improvements are kinda meh to me. Has there really been anything that significant since Face ID?

    5G is the only thing that springs to mind for me, but I’ve honestly never felt that 4G held me back on a phone considering it works perfectly for playing videos…

        That’s great, but considering everyone’s already got the cables they need, for most people it’s not really a feature to upgrade for.

          Most people have 1 cable they need for their phone and a lot of usb c. Upgrading means no more going to find that 1 unique charger.

            Yeah, it’s nice, I just don’t think that feature is worth upgrading for most people.

            Face ID and Apple Pay were jumps forward in the way that people use their phones and were quite exciting, introducing USB C is just backtracking.

              You are the minority then. If you do a poll on what would make people buy a new iPhone it will be the usb c connection.

                Despite what they’d say on a poll, if you actually forced people to buy a new phone if they answered yes then a majority would stick with what they’ve got.

            Buying a handful of spare chargers is much cheaper than buying a new phone.

            Absolutely not. I don’t have a laptop, have a family group that have between us, iPhone X, XS, 11 and an old 7max. All chargers I have owned for the last 10 years are USB A at the charger. So the cable will be USB A to lightning for all the phones and to something else, like micro usb for other devices like a rechargeable bike light. USB C is just to cause e-waste and of no practical use.

                Got three macs and a pc, playstation and my work laptop is the only thing that has usb-c on it. But it’s off no interest when not working, I just can’t think why usb-c is so important to some people. It seems like if you had been upgrading constantly on android phones, there’s the driver. The only person I work with that keeps banging on about usb-c is the Android phone guy.

      Android has gotten high refresh and variable refresh which is great for battery life. Other than that just raw speed, which is usually just throttled down for better battery life and monstrous huge screens.

      As far as I can see on the apple side they haven’t seen anything but incremental, and sometimes increments in the wrong direction, changes in the last 6 years.
