Well, they have more competitors today, and the plan has always been that you upgrade your phone every year. At least I used too, but when every release brought a tremendous innovation.
Nowadays they just keep adding cameras. I personally don’t need that many camera. Soon enough the iPhone 13 will have 5 cameras in the back. Maybe iPhone 15 will have 10 cameras...maybe the whole phone will be covered with cameras.
I am just surprised that customer service and quality has been impacted by greedy investors. They found another way to make people upgrade their phone.... let’s make those phone fail and if they have apple care, then it ok to fix because they are paying anyways.
I just missed when the iPhone modular. One piece breaks, you just pay to have it replaced. The dot project only Apple can do it.
