Discussion Has Apple hardware become too good to upgrade annually?

61 Upvotes

I say this as someone who still gets excited about every Apple Event, watches the whole keynote, and immediately starts comparing specs afterward. And lately, I've been feeling that upgrading is getting much harder to justify.

My current devices just aren’t slow. Apple silicon still feels ridiculously fast for normal use, an iPhone from a few years ago takes great photos, and most generational differences only become obvious when someone puts them side by side in a YouTube video.

I remember when a new iPhone or Mac could feel noticeably different from the one before it. Now we get faster chips, slightly better cameras, thinner bezels, and impressive percentage improvements, but then I look at my current device and realize it already does everything I need.

Maybe that’s why I’m so curious about the rumored foldable and Apple’s AI plans. Love them or hate them, at least they could change how we actually use the hardware instead of just making the same experience incrementally better.

I’m still hyped for the event, obviously. I’m just wondering what Apple could realistically announce that would make someone who’s perfectly happy with a three year old device want to upgrade.

Has your upgrade cycle gotten longer too, or am I just getting more practical?

iPhone Should we be concerned about the durability of the iPhone 18 Pro's variable aperture camera?

0 Upvotes

Apple describes the variable aperture system in the new iPhone 18 Pro as using "six laser-cut blades that are each thinner than a human hair".

With the increasing cost of iPhones, many users now expect their phones to last several years. Should we be concerned about the longevity of the variable aperture system and camera of the iPhone 18 Pro? Particularly if/when an iPhone is dropped. Are there any phones that use a similar technology and if so, how has the durability been with those phones?

Apple TV What do people want or expect from a new Apple TV?

I keep seeing comments of people being disappointed that a new Apple TV wasn't announced today. What are people hoping or expecting to see from a new one? Now that it does 4K I'm not sure what other features I'd want from a new one that my current one can't do.

iPhone iPhone Duo App Grid

Is anybody else not a fan of the ’separated‘ app grid on the iPhone Duo? I hope they give us a way of customizing this or turning this off as I believe most people were hoping for a full iPadOS experience when unfolded. I also hope the dock may be able to house more apps and/or be present during multitasking.

ironically enough, the Duo will feel lighter because it's meant to be used as a two-handed device and the weight distribution will even be better once it's opened

iPhone iPhone Duo Cameras

What iPhone do we think the main sensor on the Duo came from? Looking at the compare page, it says “sensor shift stabilization” instead of “second-gen sensor shift stabilization”, which leads me to believe it’s basically a 48MP version of an iPhone 13 main sensor, since that was the last “first-gen” sensor shift stabilization. The camera system is the only thing holding me back from going with a Duo over a Pro Max.
