Yeah, because they always just compare the new one with the old iPhone, not with competitors. “The best <insert random feature> in an iPhone ever!” Well, no shit, the new one isn’t worse than the old one, gz!
And don’t forget to invent crazy marketing names to hide tech specs (“Retina display” which wasn’t even 1080p etc).
My coworker is massive Apple fanboy who gets the newest phone every year.
He goes through this exact process after a few days:
Talks about how much faster the newest phone is
Shows comparisons of photos or screen resolution
Says it’s expensive but the trade-in means he saves $x so really he only paid like 75% market price
Talks about all the gadgets it connects to.
Complains about how his prior phone did one thing he liked
Complains about if it’s worth the price
Stops talking about it after multiple people point out feature x, y, z exists on other devices
Gets excited about Apple World or whatever that conference is and prepares himself to buy the newest phone
Introducing the SlightlyBetter™ phone. Every year it gets slightly better!!
This year’s features include:
Slightly improved camera
Slightly larger battery
Slightly faster processor
Slightly brighter screen
Slightly louder audio
Slightly quicker charging
Slightly no headphone jack
It’s the same phone as last year, but now SlightlyBetter™
Don’t let them fool you. It’s there, just covered by plastic for the extra Fuck You.
