iPhone 16 Pro Max's BIG Problem

iPhone 16 Pro Max has a big problem as the landscape shifts from hardware to software it feels like they’re falling behind. And this could be a much bigger problem than we realize—not just for the iPhone 16 Pro Max but for Apple’s dominance in the high-end smartphone market.

I have to admit, Samsung made a smart move by collaborating with Google for AI

[nhxelsmith]

I keep my 14 pro max and planning to switch s25ultra next year

IPhone is paying the price for not innovating.

[stievodevivo]

You are 200% right Sal, I used to have a lot of sympathy for Apple. They broke open the smartphone world. But since Steve Jobs is gone I think they show little innovation. And now they lose me already for 3 years nos. I'm happy Samsung user now !!!❤

Why promote something that is not ready which is wild. When samsung first started AI came start out of the box with no problem.

[wouter.d.h.]

I hope S25 Ultra will not get heating issues bc it will get an much overclocked chipset

[liamtaylor]

Oh they've fked up. Its clear they REALLY wanted to get this Ai phone out to compete with the S24 Ultra. But they aren't ready 😬

[OLJackson]

Apple, as much as I like their devices, was always two steps behind especially against Samsung and even Huawei. Samsung and Google have their AI on point

[NXT-SOL]

Apple: We are launching this impressive AI feature, that will make task easier in the upcoming IPhone

Client Buys IPhone

Client: Apple where are the features?

Apple: we'll be right back...
Runs away 🏃with the money 💷... 😂 😂 😂

You fanm😂right dude apple has fallen way way behind can’t wait to get away from them iPhone 16 pro max isn’t a complete phone yet 😮😮😮😮😮 Tim needs to step down as CEO

[jimking]

This year Apple has sold nothing but words and promises!

[rodneyhamu]

Thanks for this dude watching from Zimbabwe

In my country, adding taxes, the iphone 16 pro max's price is 4 time the minimum salary. Is too expensive for nothing. S24 Ultra is 30% less expensive at the moment.
Edit: I am an iphone user. I have iph 11 and see no reason to upgrade.. My girlfriend upgraded from 8 to 15 pro and she is like 'meh..camera is ok'

[daledevernon]

The slow rollout of Apple intelligence could hurt them in the long run especially if there's a delay which takes the launch into 2025 at that point people could be considering just waiting for the 17

[BassedInVegas]

Apple couldn’t do AI but to make up for it Apple gave us the camera BUTTON.
I’ve been using iPhones since the third or fourth generation and have upgraded every year, this is the year I will not be upgrading.
The totally worthless Dynamic Eyesore is still taking up screen space and now we have the gimmick of the completely useless worthless camera button, that’s just my short list of things that have been making me unhappy with Apple over these non innovative years.
Apple has just become a money grab these days and the 16 Series is just an insult to us loyal iPhone users.
I’ll stick with my 15 Pro until the soon to be released Galaxy S25 Ultra comes out.

I only care about battery life rather than those still gimmicky AI thing

I am a iPad Pro User, recently I bought Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, and found Apple so outdated in many features, not only AI. iPad Pro from M1 to M4, all just gimmicks, the iPadOS simply does not deliver the great performance. After using Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra, I plan to get Galaxy S25 Ultra as my next smartphone.

[BLAKEEATS]

lol coz they marketed something which isn't ready. they tried to trick the audience by adding a button, upgrading the megapixel count of the uw camera but not increasing the sensor size is a joke. Basically nothing new with the 16 Promax that the 15 pro max can't have via software update.

[johnsmith]

I disagree. Apple sheep will tolerate this. They've tolerated much worse from Apple. The lowered sales won't translate to them jumping ship, just waiting for Apple to deliver.

[jadynsyu]

Apple will follow the trend of Blackberry and Nokia if they don't change their strategy.
