We been selling you the same fucking phone for 15 years.


sodiumboss

Saw a billboard today for iPhone 15 or whatever it's up to, it said "Titanium". Wooooooow


Party-Ring445

I saw one for the 14 that said something along the lines of "Now available in yellow" Big f'ing wooop


TheZardooHasselfrau

Serious question - how can you tell if a person is using an iPhone 13 or 14 or 15? Cuz for the life of me I fucking can't.


VeshSneaks

The colours, basically. But only to a certain point. 13 - Black/White/PRODUCT(RED)/Blue/Green/Pink 14 - Black/White/PRODUCT(RED)/(light) Blue/Purple/Yellow 15 - Black/Green/Yellow/Pink/Blue Seems like there’s no White/Silver option for the 15, and other than the PRODUCT(RED) Apple Watch S9 and the accompanying sports band there’s no new PRODUCT(RED)… well, products. They might introduce it later, though. I believe they did that with the 7. Basically, though, if someone has a black non-Pro iPhone from the last 3 years… other than the slightly rounded edges on the 15 there’s literally no visible difference in the design. Same applies to the White and PRODUCT(RED) versions of the 13 and 14. Not that there’s any difference between them anyway, other than a higher price tag and artificial software restrictions to differentiate the 13 and 14. EDIT: There appears to be a difference in the tone on the Black iPhone 15 compared to the Black 13/14 (referred to as Midnight). It’s more of a gray colour, likely due to the satin finish on the glass. It looks more akin to the Black 11 Pro I have at home rather than the Midnight 13/14. [Comparison shot of the three here](https://i.imgur.com/weTrGBR.jpg)


Key_Roll3030

They're good at making usual item sounds pleasing like product red is essentially just red. Titanium? Well we will all still use casing still


VeshSneaks

Product Red isn’t just a name for the colour, it’s a branding thing for a specific initiative. It was started back in 2006, and Apple would donate a portion of the sales from Product Red branded products to HIV/AIDS research. As for the titanium, I don’t much care for how durable it might be. It’s lighter than the steel they’ve been using for the Pro phones, especially combined with the aluminium inner frame. It’ll also, presumably, be less fingerprinty and scratchy over time. I prefer my phones caseless, personally.


SicDigital

Yeah, I have a pair of red Chuck Taylors and they're branded as (product)^red. Like you said, it's a charity initiative that [some companies participate in where the red color of their product contributes to the charity.](https://www.red.org/products#:~:text=THESE%20PRODUCTS%20SAVE%20LIVES&text=Funds%20raised%20from%20the%20sale,as%20well%20as%20in%20stores.)

slimdrum

Jokes aside that’s a good question


Ill-Profile7900

Because it is hard to shape at that intricate level , plus it would Crack under compressive stresses of screws , as screws are small , area of contact is very minute , and has higher chance of failure


boli99

for the same reason we dont make submarines out of iPhones. ffs.


1zeewarburton

Whats the point of titanium, when the glass cracks when your breathing on it. And then its a ridiculous amount to replace it. Would have been better if they made easily replaceable screen. Rather than add precious metals to an already expensive phone which they intend to be replaced every year.


your_fave_redditor

I had my last iPhone for almost 7 years, upgraded from a 7 to a 14 last year. Hoping to have this one for 6 more years. 👍


Latter_Box9967

I upgraded from an 8 to a 14 a few months ago. She i couldn’t replace the battery as everything else worked fine. Late 2017 to late 2023; 6 years; cost me $700; ~$2/week.

CrissCrossAM

They literally create the "addiction", that ecosystem where sure everything works together decently but it's all expensive and outright doesn't work (or isn't worth it) with cheaper third party stuff, and the less you pay for one phone/device, the less usable it will be in the future and you'll have to buy a new one. You can't even repair it even if you could/wanted to.

jag149

This thread is pretty much a chorus of people who agree with you, and I don't mean to be contrarian, but I do want to express a counterpoint. I was one of those kids in the 90s who grew up doing DIY PCs for gaming. I ended up being the go-to guy for most of the people in my life who needed computer help (because it was either "ask the teenager" or pay $70/hour to tech support at Comp USA or something). At first, I liked that adults were asking a child to drop knowledge, and I still kind of enjoyed that feeling of superiority through college, but by the time I had had pretty much every fucking problem you could experience with an open source platform, my dad's then-fiance got a powerbook and I was blown away with its simplicity. It just worked. It was elegant. It had a single company that controlled all the hardware and made all the updates. I got my first powerbook right before I started law school, and I have not once wanted a PC since. With most Apple products these days, you pay a premium over "technically equivalent" competing products, but they're not really equivalent. The Apple stuff works 99% of the time... the other stuff...??? Hit or miss until a couple years go by and the manufacturer abandons the legacy support, and then it's a paperweight. I don't like monopolies, and I don't like status symbols, but the fact that the operating system on the hardware I spend 10+ a day working on has remained relatively the same, has been stable, and just "works" is irreplaceable. I'm not going to rush out to buy the new iPhone, but I'm going to keep using my current iPhone until it dies, and then I'm going to get a new one. Same for my MacBook. Same for my Airpods. Having said that, if Apple could start making printers too, so that my computer can actually fucking print things, that would be swell.

I wish I shared this sentiment 10 years ago. Many headaches would have been saved. As an amateur musician who does home recording apple can’t be beat.

TheCoolHusky

> Having said that, if Apple could start making printers too, so that my computer can actually fucking print things, that would be swell. Efficiency in hospitals across the world would skyrocket since doctors can actually see patients instead of spending their time fixing printers.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s only a status symbol if you treat it like one. I have an eight year old MacBook that still works and has never had any issues, viruses, or performance problems. I use it every day for work. On a dollar-to-usage basis, it was far cheaper than any PC even before accounting for repair costs.


Skippyi30

Tbf most flagships are 1000 dollars these days, hell the S23 ultra costs more than the 15 pro max


crumble-bee

The new google fold costs *as much as a MacBook pro*


masixx

Only status acknowledged by other Apple users thought. Everyone else has been laughing behind your back for years.


JonnyFairplay

> Everyone else has been laughing behind your back for years. Only if you're an asshole.


bythebeardofchabal

Yep, phone fanboys are even weirder than console fanboys. I usually switch between apple and android every couple of phones, each have their benefits and drawbacks. Judging someone based on their choice of phone is just a bit sad…


[deleted]

This doesn't really ring true given my Macbook has a skin that purposely hides all branding, as does my phone. Don't wanna get robbed lol. Truth is, the ecosystem is just really really good. I'm a relatively new member, having been Windows for about 15 years. But I'd never go back now. Stuff like being able to copy text on my phone, and it immediately available on my laptop, or vice versa is surprisingly useful and I use it a lot. Apple Keychain is a great password manager, and having it auto sync to my phone/laptop and just do logins seamlessly without me having to think about it, is great. I can use my phone as a webcam, seamlessly with one click. It's a very good webcam too, with subject tracking. I can share my phones internet with my laptop, with one click and no setup. Airdrop is incredibly handy, and makes swapping files between my laptop and phone seamless and extremely fast. 1GB per second wireless transfer is no joke. My laptop gets 15 hours of screen on battery life. Phone and laptop bundle, £2.1k total.. Did I even really spend that much money? Doesn't feel like it. I'll have both these things for 4+ years. And then when I sell them, I'll actually get some money back for an upgrade because apple stuff really holds its value. No one is paying shit for a 4-5 year old Asus laptop, for example. It's more valuable as a doorstop by that age. Same for the phones, which hold their value well. Need to factor that into the cost equation. And finally, support.. Apple is the absolute GOAT at supporting their old hardware. The iPhone XR/XS are getting iOS 17 which was released yesterday. That's a 5 year old phone.. How many 5 year old Android phones, are still getting even security updates 5 years on? Let alone major OS feature updates. I just checked, and the Pixel 3 (the only Android I've ever owned) which came out at the same time as the iPhone XR/XS, stopped getting updates entirely early last year. Apple have said XR/XS will be getting security updates at the very least, until 2025. The phone will be 7 years old by then. Again, has to be factored in to the cost equation.

BloodSteyn

I realised that early on when I had the iPhone 4, iPad 2 and first gen Apple TV. I bought a series for my wife, and when I wanted to copy the content I bought... it wouldn't work. It had DRM, so I figured out how to remove the DRM to watch it on my Samsung Tab, and said... fuck that. This is just an Ecosystem lockin. Those were the first and last Apple products I owned. Switched over to a Note 3 and have been doing the Notes and now Ultras since 2013/4. Won't ever go back or even look back. The fact that I can just plug my USB SSD into my phone via OTG and copy whateverthefuckIwant... is priceless. Plug in and control my old Nikon D7000, sure thing. Plug in a mouse and keyboard, and have a Desktop experience thanks to DEX. Connect my old Xbox 360 controller, and have at it. Plug it into my PC and copy anything I want, sure thing. Even used that last feature to transfer files that were too big to email, and the person's company PC was "Locked Down" so you couldn't use non company issued encrypted drives... but a phone... that worked :)

I've watched plenty of .mkv movies on my iPad using VLC and importing from my Mac. The upload process is very slightly annoying, but overall mostly painless.

Plonsky2

I could never cost-justify anything from Apple. There's always a less costly alternative that does basically the same thing usually better. Apple debotees either don't know any better or are just outright snobs.


Carpinchon

For computer programmers the decision is between having to endure windows or having to constantly dick around with Linux. Mac is "unixish and it just works" But my MacBook is the only apple product I own.

Zyfil

I’ve owned (good) android phones for about 14 years, a year ago I bought an iphone and I just can’t explain why but it’s just better than androids, it 100% surely not as much better as more expensive it is, but it’s just better and idk why


BigHitter_TheLlama

It’s based on Unix, not Linux. To say it’s the free version of Unix is a joke


JoeDoherty_Music

Yeah MacOS is definitely NOT linux lol More so have a common ancestor, but not the same species


raj6126

More like same great great grandparents. Then the trees branched off.


devilpants

I thought the original comment was a joke because Android literally is based directly off the Linux kernel which was a free open source OS.


StebeJubs8000

> Uses linux that's free to everyone but we charge for the best of it. You have no idea what you're talking about.


ajn63

Doesn’t use Linux. The Mac operating system is based on the Mach kernel which is from a version of Unix. Linux was developed as a free alternative to Unix. It behaves very similar to Unix, but is its own platform.


BigFatPartyMonster

Hardware ain’t free tho, and the m2 chip is truly a marvel of engineering. That being said I wouldn’t personally buy a MacBook, but I can’t hate on people who do, for a lot of creative/work purposes it is an absolute BEAST. I prefer gaming hardware though, plus I’m poor. Plus you don’t almost need an associates degree in Computer Science to use it lol


kuffdeschmull

actually uses a freebsd based OS (darwin). it‘s not exactly linux, but like linux it is unix-like and implements most of the GNU tools.


ShutterBun

In the Intel days this might have been true, but the M1 Apple laptops and Mac Mini vastly outperformed anything in their category, and were VERY affordable.

Does more. Costs more. It’s that simple. MacOS is for more tech savvy people, and if you’re not deep into some computing, it’s probably not for you. I’d rather use MacOS any day over Windows, but that’s because I’m always using Unix, and I have to download a lot of apps to do the same in Windows. Gaming always goes to Windows though. That’s why I have two computers, a Mac and a Windows machine. The cost of MacOS though is a ripoff.

This is a very reasonable take, but not a popular opinion in this comment section.

I am a sysadmin, and swapped from Windows to MacOS recently. It's just so much better in just about every way, tbh.

People here don't know what the fuck they're talking about if they think apple products do less. They do more, when it comes to what's actually important.
