Its a strategy. This is how apple is helping its customers save money.

And ripping them off by increasing the price by $50 in the USA. And more in other parts of the world. For a smaller battery.

Forget that Apple will do something incredible to help people save their money.

If you don't know, a car has a much larger product life cycle compared to smartphones.

What are you talking about? 911 is the same since 1963 and there were 9 different main models, plus 5 variations.

I dig what you say, just, we, consumers, tend to get new phones more often than a cars.

Well, the principle is the same.
I buy bread more often than phones but I still don't want a different shape of bread every day... :)

The problem is people want the iOS part of the iPhone.
If it ran Android or some other OS then Apple's smartphone division would have been dead after the 6S.

Then, it's a good thing that iPhone is running a potent OS like iOS.

For whom is it a problem that people want the iOS part of the iPhone?

You??

Not really the same because bread has barely any fashion statement , design value so to say . I've been buying same loaf of square bread for years. Have no issue with that :)

12. Leo_MC (Posts: 3594; Member since: 02 Dec 2011)

But the bread - just like every other food - should be looking good so that I can eat it with pleasure.
The same with the phone or the car (just change "eat" with "use" :)).

I agree bread should look not or be damaged in any way.

Smartphone consumerism is driven by evolving fashion but the bread :) Bread design is pretty much the same since the dawn of humanity but the phone.

Well, today's phone is a piece of glass with borders; how nice can it be anyway :)))?

I am a person of arts and I dearly love technology so my answer would be : sky is the limit :))

19. AmashAziz (Posts: 2028; Member since: 30 Jun 2014)

Why are you guys discussing bread on a tech forum?

Maybe it's time for bakeries to sandwich the bread between two pieces of glass and sell it to you....

21. LanjaKodaka (Posts: 219; Member since: 27 Sep 2016)

Is that causing a problem to you ?

22. AmashAziz (Posts: 2028; Member since: 30 Jun 2014)

Wow dude, you got me good!

However, that question I asked in comment no.18 wasn't sarcastic; it was a serious question. So I would like you to answer that.

And secondly, my comment no.19 was meant to be a joke. But you took it seriously.

Don't forget Sony for 6+ generations
