You must have heard that Apple claims that Apple is going to change how to release new iPhones. Instead of releasing all its new iPhones at once, the company will reserve a fall launch for its flashier model, such as iPhone Pro, iPhone Pro Max and iPhone folds once after the arrival of that foldable iPhone.
Other models will launch in the spring, with focusing on marki devices. These E series will be the standard iPhone models along with the device and, possibly, future iPhone air models should make the iPhone 17 air debut in this decline.
You can understand the thinking behind the rumor at one point. The signal indicates the e-series for an annual release, rather than the more sporadic updates of the iPhone SE. At its top, the foldable phone is expected to be in the product mixture of Apple earlier next year, potentially means that the company has six devices to release in any year.
But like Samsung, like Samsung, instead of staggering its release throughout the year, such as Samsung does its Galaxy S and Galaxy Z devices, I think the apple should take a different approach. Instead of creating a big roaring spectacle of each year’s phone, Apple should return to things during the first decade of the iPhone- and bring back the S-series iPhones.
S-series gives some breathing room to new iPhones
Apple developed a reputation over the last several years, with allegations that it just “releases the same phone every year.” It is below the disappointment on minimum changes from one year to another, despite all the pomp and conditions, which gives apple each new iPhone. And this is not a problem that is exclusive to Apple.
But there was a point in the past where Apple tried to clarify that the specific phones were not to reinforce the wheel. I am talking about the S-series, which started with the 2009 iPhone 3GS and lasted to the iPhone XS in 2008.
These were not full upgrade, similarly the phones were as the iPhone 4 or the iPhone 5. Apple tried his best to promote each new release, but everyone knew that these phones offered a lot of incremental upgrade compared to their immediate predecessors.
If you had the iPhone 4, there was no need to actually buy the iPhone 4S – it was essentially the same phone with some minor updates that were aimed at the purpose of those who did not upgrade the previous model. You were waiting for an iPhone 5 next year, and spending your money a little more.
The same iPhone was true to jump from 4S to 5s. Buying an iPhone 5 can lead to your allowances, but since you had an S-series model, you were already waiting for the next one.
By developing an S-series iPhone, Apple gave an opportunity to release a new model every year, making whatever fix and upgrade was required on the previous release. But this approach came without all the expectations that will come from changing the number of the phone. An iPhone 6s was an extension of the iPhone 6, and looking at the same level would be very foolish as an iPhone 7.
The annual number release raises a lot of hope
I believe, I was a little disappointed in 2011 when Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5. The rumor mill was talked about that the new “iPhone 5” could be offered, and since it was released to the fifth iPhone Apple, it was understood that you were ready to name the name.
But this did not happen, and the iPhone 5 was over as the sixth iPhone, and the numbering has only got messed up over the years. Needless to say, I have stopped erudition about such things for a long time.
Apple switched back into a chronological naming system from iPhone 11, and since then we have a seamless string of IPHONES – no matter how much changes each year. And at this point, it seems that Apple must probably switch back.
Increasing a number every year creates a hope that something big is going to change. But in fact, only this apple can actually change from one year to the next. Apple should seriously consider switching back to his old iPhone release approach that was working well, helping potential users to meet their expectations.
Maybe an iPhone 16s will not have the same level of publicity as iPhone 17 in this decline. But at least there is no wave of people that upgrade X, Y and Z are never physical. It is a S series model, so certainly the entry-level iPhone 16s is not getting 120Hz display nor is the iPhone 16s Pro will get more powerful telephoto lenses.
Okay, so they are bad examples, because the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro are expected to receive those two upgrade. But at least the sports naming conference in the game will have to prevent people from expecting specific upgrades every year, and when they fail to come essentially they get frustrated.
Very at least, when the iPhone number changes, you would know that you were worth happening on your phone.
Ground level
When it comes right below, Apple is going to do the same one who thinks that the most iPhones will be sold. Apparently, a product is a numbering system that teaches people to expect significant upgradation every two years, making the iPhone off-eye for sale. And Apple wants to look at sales growth that year-away sales, especially for more than half of its revenue with iPhones.
Naturally switching to a bipolar release calendar, as is the current rumor, would be the way to try to increase the number of Apple sales. This, and to ensure that the incidence of iPhone launch does not end up to 3 hours long, as all phones need to be announced.
Nevertheless, from the point of view of a consumer I cannot help, but wonder if things are going to change, perhaps Apple should probably switch back to the old way of doing things. If nothing else, it will ensure that consumers (and shareholders) are not going to the iPhone launch event with sky-high expectations that will essentially leave them disappointed.
