Disappointed Fans, IPhone 15 Launch Called Anti-Climax After Setve Jobs Era

JAKARTA - The social media platform X (former Twitter) was less than 24 hours of complaints after Apple's highly anticipated 'Wanderlust' event.

Although the device costs $ 799 (IDR 12.2 million) comes in five never-before-seen colors, with rear cameras upgraded, some claim that the iPhone 15 lacks the development they expect.

Battery life and screen size are included, with the iPhone 15 having the same 6.1-inch look and video playback capacity like the iPhone 14.

"iPhone 15 looks like an iPhone 14," said one user. Others also complained. "Apple innovation is lost with Steve Jobs," he said. One of them also tweeted: "Apple doesn't mention battery life at all on the iPhone 15 Pro model, and that's quite disappointing given how much focus it's been on the recent iPhone 14 battery decline and general sluggishness about the phone's life. "

This criticism comes after months of speculation surrounding the iPhone 15, with many fake products and predictions flooding the internet. Many of these complaints correctly predict that Apple's new devices will feature cutting-edge titanium designs made of the same alloy used to build NASA's Planet Mars, Perseverance.

Apple claims this will make the model more durable and lightweight than the previous model.

The switching off button with an adjustable 'action button' is also expected, this is the first time Apple has changed it since 2007.

The replacement of its Lightning connector with a USB-C port has also been anticipated, as Apple reluctantly adapts to the new EU regulations.

However, 'Name Drop' is one of the more surprising features, allowing users to share contact details by simply overlooking two iPhone devices. Even so, observers say the physical appearance of the iPhone 15 is almost identical to the iPhone 14.

Both the iPhone 15 and its predecessors have a 6.1-inch screen and weigh slightly more than 170g, with a battery capacity to facilitate 20-hour video playback.

Both devices also have a TrueDepth 12MP (f/1.9) front camera with an autofocus function, although the iPhone 15 rear camera has been significantly upgraded.

"Oh cute, this is the iPhone 12! Let's go 13! Let's go 14! Let's talk about the iPhone 15. There's no way I can tell the difference," wrote one user X quoted by MailOnline.

Others added: 'Following Apple's show and there's no difference between iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 #AppleEvent.'

One of them also said: "I am a true Apple fan and the iPhone 15 is too bland. I will miss and wait for the iPhone 16. This should be called the iPhone 14.2. It's not enough to get '15'."
