What commenters say

  • The new iPhone release is underwhelming and lacks significant improvements.
  • The renaming of iPhone models is confusing and inconsistent.
  • The use of Roman numerals in Apple product names is unnecessary and causes pronunciation issues.
  • The new Ultra Wideband chip is an interesting feature with potential for future applications.
  • The Apple event was poorly executed and felt like a waste of time.
  • The cumulative improvements of the new iPhone make it the most interesting release ever.
  • The availability of an always-on display on the Apple Watch is a significant and desirable feature.
  • The naming convention of Apple products, including Xcode, is confusing and should be changed to something more intuitive.
