      Good. Gives them time to cook and make something that’s actually worth what they charge for it.

      Yearly phone upgrades are stupid anyway and always have been. Just fuck off for a bit and come to public when you have anything actually worthwhile upgrading for. Incremental processing speeds and camera upgrades are useless to 99% of people.

      >Apple plans to launch the ‌iPhone 18‌ Pro, ‌iPhone 18‌ Pro Max, and foldable ‌iPhone‌ in the usual fall timeframe, while holding the standard ‌iPhone 18‌ back until the spring of 2027, where it will launch alongside the ‌iPhone‌ 18e and iPhone Air 2.

      So little changes year to year at this point that yearly updates really don’t make sense at this point especially for standard models. And that’s not just for Apple. I just stopped using my 4.5 year old Samsung A52 and that’s only because my son’s phone broke and he wasn’t going to be the one to get a new phone. Apart from software updates there really isn’t any huge reason for the majority of people to upgrade their phone anymore. They do everything we need them to do.

      They’d probably have to get new contracts for RAM supply, and the terms right now would be horrible.

      While it won’t be good for the shareholders who need the money printers to go brrr quicker every quarter.

      Phones have matured enough annual releases are marginal incremental improvements, 2 year model cycles makes sense.

      Good call. Stretching out iPhone releases might make quarterly reports look weak, but it gives Apple more time to actually roll out meaningful changes in hardware and software instead of just shuffling things around for the sake of a yearly refresh.

      This could be said about nearly every product out there. We dont need new iphones every year that do the same thing over and over.

      We also dont need 8k or 16k tvs. We dont need new weapons or fighter jets. We also dont need a new way to eat the same chicken sandwiches, burgers, or fries in a new setting. We dont need new „_____“.

      What we do need is to stop wasting limited resources and everyones limited time on this planet compulsively making crap. What we should be doing is taking what we have learned and use it to make everyones lives easier and to give people their limited time back.

      Apple should move to a 1.5 year and a 2 year release cycle. Gives them time to develop/innovate and not do incremental releases that create buyer fatigue. As is they’re making more from services than outright iPhone hardware IIRC

    16. AnonymousTimewaster on

      I guess they finally ran out of things to incrementally improve upon.

      The takes in this sub are so dumb. “I don’t need a phone every year.” Well no shit. But someone does. And they don’t want a phone that is closer to end of life than beginning.

      My iphone 14 Pro is still just as good as the day I got it. The only issue I have is my charging port doesn’t work, but thanks to magsafe that’s really no problem for me.

      Lasted much longer than any Android phone that I ever had which would have severe battery issues after 2 years of use.

      The Apple designers are too busy coming up with new gold-adorned trophy’s for their CEO to present to Tangerine Palpatine

      Sure sure and a circular Apple Watch, MacBook with a touchscreen and bla bla bla yadda yadda 🙄🙄🙄

      My 15 still works fine. I’ll use it until it won’t charge anymore or it stops updating.

    27. shanthology on

      They need to focus on making my icons more clear. I want them invisible.

    28. 693275001 on

      I’m on a 12 Pro that’s started to show its age. A new 17 would be nice but I think something like a refurb 15 pro is way more bang for your buck which is probably what I’ll do soon.

      With RAM/VRAM and storage costs skyrocketing, I feel like Apple going to have to take a heavy hit on profits with the next release, or they’re going to have to crank up the price.

    30. dafones on

      Apple does it with Macs and iPads.

      From a production standpoint, it makes sense.

      Interesting and noted.

      Well, I’d normally get an android phone anyway. Samsung’s latest mid-range A series still due in March 2026 or so last I heard, plus some very cheap Chinese phones aren’t illegal here. Approximately everyone uses WhatsApp (not personally a fan in particular, just it’s currently [got something like 75% *of my country*](https://www.infobip.com/blog/whatsapp-statistics) on it, and most of the remaining 25% will be old people, so good luck not being on it), so the cheapest android phone that doesn’t completely suck is a usual choice.
