I bought an iPhone 16, and I have absolutely 0 « wow » effect.

I’m a long time iPhone user. - my first iPhone was an iPhone 3GS. - then, I bought an iPhone 4. The feeling was awesome. It looked like the future in his time. - he randomly died when iPhone 6s was already out, but I bought the 6 (cheaper). Then again, amazing feeling. Bigger but not too much. Thin, light. Touch ID. Wow. - the 6 slowly became unusable. I bought a brand new iPhone Xr. This time again, the wow effect was there. Face ID instead of touch ID. The size which is (IMO) perfect for a phone. All screen and almost no edge. Wow. Here I am now. My iPhone Xr still almost works like it’s brand new. Battery is at 88% after all these years. I just bought an iPhone 16 for better photography, iPhone Xr being very limited on that side. But appart of photography ? Absolutely no excitation. Absolutely no wow effect. Absolutely nothing. Apple intelligence ? Is a piece of sh*t and couldn’t care less about it anyway. Haven’t even activated it and just wish apple will allow us to delete the space it takes on the phone. iOS future MaJ ? Well if Apple could release an update without bug and with the se attention to details than before, I would care about it. That’s not the case anymore. Dynamic island ? Absolutely useless compared to the notch. Hardware ? Hardware specs are already enoght for common use since years. It really makes me realise there is no evolution anymore about iPhone. The 16 is basically an Xr with better photo lenses. I can see that when I watch keynote. « best ever this », « best ever that », « amazing », blablabla… But on a daily basis ? For John Doe use ? Nothing. I don’t know if Apple is not able to innovate anymore. I don’t know if smartphone has just peaked in terms of shape and performance for normal people. What I know is that I see absolutely no reason to spend so much money in it to change it if it wasn’t for planned obsolescence or failure. Here I am with my new phone, and I’m just glad I was able to have it for a good price.
