Idk about how good Apple is at developing phones anymore though. Iโ€™m sure if they tried to innovate it would be good but theyโ€™re experts at slow dripping features invented and released by other manufacturers after many years of already being on the market. Theyโ€™re late on AI, theyโ€™re not the best phone for the photo obsessed, theyโ€™re not bringing new exciting things to the phones, and theyโ€™re by far not competitive on pricing. Not sure what they really bring other than advertising and planned obsolescence of batteries and other components. I say this fully aware of irony of typing it on an iPhone, which I cannot wait to replace as soon as my car supports android auto or I find a way to spoof car play for bmw v7 car sortware. I have a 2 year old iPhone and itโ€™s been nothing but a downgrade from my ancient galaxy s9 in everything but screen display quality
