Apple is no longer pretending and is openly deceiving people!

As the star attraction of Apple's autumn product launch event, the iPhone 16 brings absolutely no new ideas. It's just that the bezel is a little narrower, the screen is a little bigger, and the camera position has been changed.

Furthermore, a seemingly useless camera button has been added, effectively negating Steve Jobs' philosophy of "doing less."

It's claimed to have improved battery life, but whether it's increased by 100mAh or just 1mAh, no one knows for sure. The only standout feature is the generative AI, but it won't be available in China until next year at the earliest.

Yes, that's basically it. In the gaming world, this wouldn't even qualify as a major update, more like a system optimization!

The key is that this information is identical to leaks from a few days ago. If basic confidentiality isn't even being maintained, how can Apple guarantee user security?

Even more outrageous is that Apple has now removed the iPhone 15 Pro from its official website. The explanation given is that the iPhone 16 Pro is now available, and those who really want one can try to find stock offline.

Some netizens have joked that Apple is afraid everyone will rush to buy the older models after seeing the new product launch event.

Apple's current situation is actually quite precarious. In China, its most important market, mobile phone sales declined by another 3.1% in the second quarter of this year, with market share dropping to around 13%.

This is the first time in four years that Apple has fallen out of the top five in China's sales rankings.

In contrast, Huawei has seen a surge in sales in recent months. In the second quarter of this year, sales soared by more than 50% year-on-year, and with a market share of 18.1%, it climbed to second place.

Meanwhile, Huawei's triple-folding screen phones are already on the horizon, while Apple is still trying to fool its "fruit fans" with mediocre updates.

Does Apple really believe that "fruit fans" will blindly buy any new model, regardless of its quality? Recently, Apple has already faced backlash for charging the highest Apple tax globally in China, putting it at a disadvantage in public opinion.

Now, with this subpar product, how can Apple expect people to willingly pay that 30% Apple tax?

If you've definitely decided not to buy the iPhone 16, please leave a comment below and let me know.
