Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models simultaneously, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 17 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect from Apple's 2025 smartphone lineup.
If you skipped the iPhone...

Apple at WWDC previewed a bunch of new features coming in its updated operating systems, but certain changes will have been met with dismay by third-party developers who already offer apps with equivalent or similar features. In other words, their product has been "sherlocked" by Apple.
When Apple creates an app or a feature that has functionality found in a third-party app, it is referred...

iOS 26 features a whole new design material that Apple calls Liquid Glass, with a focus on transparency that lets the content on your display shine through the controls. If you're not a fan of the look, or are having trouble with readability, there is a step that you can take to make things more opaque without entirely losing out on the new look.
Apple has multiple Accessibility options that ...

They can’t even give those FineWoven cases away…lol
I think they would struggle to pay people to take them. I'm really surprised they got through Apples testing... unless they just thought people would accept this.
Ive noticed this on a few of their accessories too... the white plastics scratch up like crazy (see AirPods charge cases etc).
There are much better plastic finishes they could use.
The best prices on Apple stuff, with the exception of their refurbished store... is almost always from other retailers.
Apple probably wants to try to preserve its image by avoiding too much "manufacturer discounting" which can cheapen a brand. They leave that to the retailers where discounts are more common/expected in general.
Apple have never discounted products in store... they give away vouchers and have student pricing... but nothing more.
Over the years they have but it's rare. For example, the original iPhone was discounted $200 less than three months after launch. Apple also routinely lowers retail prices of previous generation models which could be considered a discount but, again, traditional sales and discounts are still rare. Gift cards and/or limited time trade-in bonuses is the approach Apple typically takes for "shopping events" like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I don't think certain discounts 'cheapen' a brand. I think a decent thing they could do is temporally lower a devices price when an update is imminent. Although the device is fine, when a consumer buys a device at full price and the update is available the next day... that can hit customer loyalty more than cheapening the brand.
Other companies have discounts.. and Ive never thought that would cheapen their brand.
But I think butterfly keyboards and the like certainly 'damage' the brand, absolutely.
Too much discounting can often be viewed as "cheapening" a consumer goods brand especially when that brand is considered premium, luxury, upscale, etc.
