“Same design every year with notch included, does it hurt too much to hire a decent designer instead of professional 3rd rate actors!?”

@LolNo35 said:

“The last three Samsung phones have looked the same as well. It’s so bad. It isn’t hard to redesign something. Come on Samsung and Apple.”

@DeboMendez said:

“So upset about the Pro colours. The regular one has much better colour than the Pro model.”

@Darkvenom said:

“Pretty disappointing event tbh… same iPhone as last year with better battery and added gimmicks like cinema mode. I'll keep my iPhone 12 pro for another year. Loving it.”

@KayfPoly said:

“Overall, the event is a disappointment. The new Apple Watch still lacks the ability to read blood pressure or blood glucose levels. Nothing revolutionary here...”

@Sweetma4lyf said:

“Still rocking my 8+ proudly. I refuse to join the“make rich people richer team” over unreasonably expensive bullshit. I don’t know Who needs to hear this, but @APPLE sells y’all the same iPhone every Year.”

@1993LIVING said:

“Would apple lose money if you guys didn’t come out with a new phone for the next 4 years? Geeze just got the 12 pro max 15 days ago. Slow down.”
