$200 just for storage and RAM
for comparison the ENTIRE material costs for the iPhone X back then were estimated to be around $350.
This shit has to end. Kill AI for fucks sake
The iPhone 18 Pro leaks are feeling seriously underwhelming.
Sure, the upgrades sound nice on paper:
• New 48MP variable-aperture camera
• 2nm A20 Pro chip
• Bigger battery
• Faster memory
But let's be honest when was the last time an iPhone Pro actually looked new?
Seven years later, we're still looking at the same oversized square camera bump. Put an iPhone 18 Pro next to a recent Pro model with the same color option and most people probably won't notice the difference.
Even the rumored colors feel incredibly safe. Dark Cherry and Light Blue sound fine, but where's the excitement? Where's the risk?
And then there's the price.
Reports suggest Apple could raise prices by as much as $270 (~₹23,000), which could make the iPhone 18 Pro ₹30,000–35,000 more expensive than its predecessor.
So buyers may end up paying significantly more for a phone that looks almost identical, comes in uninspiring colors, and relies mostly on internal upgrades.
At some point, better specs stop being enough.
If Apple launches the iPhone 18 Pro exactly like this, would you upgrade?
Tell me a better looking keyboard than this one.
It is not the most functional
It has the worst autocorrect
It is slower than others
But Apple nailed the looks with the Liquid Glass Keyboard
an iphone without a telephoto lens gonna run you a grand and one with a telephoto with usable storage gonna be like $1500 all because so many people can’t write a fucking work email without using ChatGPT
And both are "illegal" in the EU btw
Same as Googles heavily integrated version on Android.
Because even fucking Microsoft understands what a gigantic security risk for the users it would be if they complied with the ridiculous DMA.
As for the reason why Siri AI is "loved" while Copilot is hated:
Apple doesn't force you to it. They provide it and you can use it. Microslop on the other hand added a physical fucking key to laptops just for this and forces it into EVERYTHING
i love how you can clearly see where the flash was supposed to be placed, with that cutout, and the way the ribbon cable is trailing out of that cutout over the plastic.

For the first time ever at this WWDC.. Apple casually flexed one of its weirdest innovation.. the patented Apple Pizza Box 🍕
Once upon a time.. Apple decided the ordinary soggy pizza box wasn’t upto its standards
So Apple literally invented its own pizza box.. used exclusively at the Apple Park
Unibody design, eco friendly, perfectly stackable and custom vanted so employees can carry the pizza back to their pods without a soggy crust
…meanwhile Dominos is still using the same square box design from 1940s 😭
Only Apple can overengineer a pizza box this hard
