Apple users bash new iPhone 15: ‘Innovation died with Steve Jobs’::Smart phone fans are griping about Apple’s new devices since the arguably anti-climactic announcement of the forthcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus on Tuesday.

    Steve Jobs didn’t innovate a thing in his life. Apple has always been stealing tech and pretending that they created it.

    Now with this new version, they don’t even have much anything to steal. At best, they pretended that the EU didn’t force them to adopt USB 3 and boast how much faster it is than Lightning port.

      Actually the EU only forced them to adopt USB C. Only their ‘Pro’ model actually has USB 3. Imagine having to pay a premium for the luxury of a 15 year old technology

        And they still don’t have PD on the pro.

        My guess is that they’ll be going portless soon, and don’t want users freaking out that they can’t change their phones as quickly, so they’re intentionally nerfing the charge speeds on USB C.

          They have to have USB power delivery by the EU law but only as fast as the device supports at all. So if they only have 20W charging at all that’s legal.

          With how much they’re investing in video and how large their camera/film user base is, they will not go portless.

        Apple just wants to get rid of low income people having an iphone.

        Iphones whole thing has always been to be a luxury brand, that only rich people can afford.

        A 15 year old technology pretty much every other phone uses now. A technology used in pretty much every modern laptop - especially Apple’s own - and many desktops.

      Did Jobs build teams that invented the GUI, the cellphone, multitouch gestures, or mobile web browsing? No, he didn’t. But he built teams that productized those things better than anyone else before them, and that team forever changed our expectations for computing.

      To be an innovative composer you don’t have to invent new instruments, scales, time signatures, etc. You have to know how to arrange existing stuff in new ways.

        Yep, I am not a Jobs fan boy at all but he definitely had a clear goal and required people to get the product right before shipping it, to the extent to which that was possible for the tech at the time.

      I’m not even an Apple fanatic, but you’re such a weak mind to parrot those obvious lies. Do you really think that Apple would’ve gone this far if they copied everything? They hand picked the best tech out there and perfected it in every way. If you just wanna post some stupid, low effort comment to sound smart and interesting, don’t post at all. There’s absolutely no need for you to post anything if you’ve got nothing good to say.

        Apple was literally founded and initially successful off Steve jobs monetizing Woz’s genius. It is not at all a stretch to claim Steve Jobs never innovated a thing.

        In modern apple, of course they are far more likely to buy innovative technologies and fund development or copy competitors. Why would they spend money funding R&D when they can more cheaply buy out worthwhile concepts?

      Except that their implementation of USB-C will be way slower than the lightning port.

      Edit: I’ve been schooled.

        The lightning port is USB 2. The 15 is USB 2, powered by the same USB 2 chipset as the 14 pro. The only difference is the connector not the cables or encoding.

        The 15 pro has USB 3, which is faster than the lighting port ever was.
