Every iPhone got heavier again.

This is not acceptable at all and is a no go.

Even the self-proclaimed iPhone Air has almost the same weight as iPhone 16 and is only 2mm thinner, which is an absolute no go for a product called "Air".

No Mini.

No black Pro.

Ugliest Pro ever without true redesign since iPhone 11.

No AI Siri.

Apple stocks going down.

Good bye Apple after 22 years of endless iPhones, iPods, MacBooks Pro, iPads, Watches, TVs, iMacs, HomePods etc.

They also all got better battery life. Battery life > weight in my book.

They switched to an inferior material, practically added NOTHING, yet increased their base price by 100$ (I dont care if it was 128gb and this is 256, bla bla.. tech should get cheaper by the day..)

Unless they up their AI game VERY fast, Apple is indeed heading for trouble...

Really having a hard time with the pro colors. I was planing on going from natural titanium to back this year.
I feel you. I think the natural titanium is such a unique color. I'm just not feeling the orange or boring blue.
