Where on this timeline did Apple fuck up?

6
>that camera
>those antenna lines

nice quads btw

iPhone 6 is the last good iPhone

>thoughtful engineering/practical design
iphone 4 when they released a phone with major reception issues. it showed serious flaws in their testing procedures for the device.

>trying to cut corners
iPhone 4S when they used generic aluminosilicate glass from Lens Technology International instead of Corning Gorilla Glass. Shit on the back shattered like crazy

>aesthetics
iPhone 5C. fucking ugly and the default case had the word HON showing through it.

>general design
iPhone 6 protruding camera + ease of bending

6 is probably the biggest sin. the issues with the 4 and 4S could be mitigated with a case and the 5C was always positioned as more budget

Here

When their leader died and they had no one with ideas.

The SE is the last good iPhone.

3G and 5S are sexy as fuck, 5S particularly. They fucked up after the 5S, that curved design feels nice in the hand but it is pretty ugly with the antenna lines and camera bump. The jet black looks beautiful though. Apple get like 100% on somethings, i.e. finish and feel but then fuck up designs elsewhere. Even under Jobs Apple has not nailed a design. iPod comes close to perfection though.

As much as I dislike iPhones, the white 5c with black front doesn't look too bad. The rest, yea kinda, but that one looks pretty alright

There can't be a last if there was never a first.

even then, the iPhone 5C was misguided, due to Apple's strategy of discounting the prior year's premium phone anyways, and the use of one year old internals at release when iPhones become so slow that they are virtually unusable by year 2 due to updates

Oh, I'm not saying it's a good phone or anything, just purely from a design standpoint, it looks alright.
There's lots of shitty phones that look nice.

...

The 4, 5, and SE are the best ones. You can cut it in half facing the side and it would he perfectly symmetrical. Anything past that is shit.

>/thread
They screwed up when they made the iphone 5c
iphone 5s was the last good phone

Inception.

>iphone 5s was the last good phone

What about the SE, it's literally a 5s with 6s specs.

>bendPhone

Into the trash it goes.

You shouldn't put your phone in your backpocket if you're a fat fuck.
Honestly how the fuck do you bend a fucking iPhone 5/5s/SE

>how do you bend a soda can

The ABSOLUTE state of iManlets.

Stop memeing fayjet, I'm serious. How do you bent this thing by accident?

>t. iToddler

Enjoy your bendPhone Shittier Edition.

right about here.

you cant say that first iphones wasnt a milestone.
>inb4 applecuck

if you look on mobile phone industry, nothing new happend from Iphone 3g

They fucked up with the iPhone 6. iOS 7+ was also a mistake. Image if we had an iPhone 6 sized version of the 5S with a newer version of iOS that still looked like iOS 6. That would be the best.

But now I've moved to Android and hopefully I'll switch again to GNU with the Librem 5.

Poor Rakeesh is mad because he's stuck on Cafe Wifi, so he angrily shitposts anti-Apple headlines all day that he screenshotted. I await your next shitpost, Young Poojeet.

Tell me a real world scenario where anything like this ever happens.

this.

I always fucking hated iOS 1-6, it only started to look good with iOS 7. Get some taste, dweeb.

iOS 6 was ugly as shit and most people see it as such, stop looking at everything old with rose coloured glasses.

Uncultured swine. Leave my board.

>can't operate finger nails
>how can he operate phone then

The one after steve jobs died

I'm sorry that I'm not into tacky garbage.
>tfw jobs approved of everything Apple's doing before he died.

>literally a one trillion dollar company
>APPLEL FINISHED BTFO SUICIDE WATCH!!!

5S was basically perfect

According to their earnings, as a business? Nowhere.

Still is the best Iphone. Specs of a 6 and it won't break your wallet OR your pockets. The 6 would be a better phone if all they added were the square edges of the 4/5/SE series. Add to that a headphone jack and the 7 would be great.

The 8&X are fucking disasters and are the beginning of an ever decreasing stock price.

I love my SE. I don't want my phone to be the size of a fucking tablet, and I don't want to pay one nine hundred and ninety-nine United States Dollars for >A FUCKING NOTCH.

Unless Apple makes an SE 2, I'm probably done with them after my SE is run into the ground. Androidfags, what do you recommend for someone who's never had an android phone and prefers smaller pocket-sized phones?

4. the only reason I stopped using the 3gs is because the battery inflated.

Sony make good small phones. I had a z3 compact and it was great.

after the 5s
3gs is probably their 2nd best phone

why did apple only make glossy good colors with the 5c? It would be bad ass if they charged the same price of the glossy iphone for the regular black iphone you get today. Also the iphone 5c was shit because apple was near bankrupt from shitty sales so they had to make a cheaply shit run to the ground plastic iphone with eye candy colors that everyone liked.

>apple was near bankrupt
>apple was near bankrupt
>apple was near bankrupt

6S is an upgrade in every aspect.

Specs of a 6S actually.

...

...

There's nothing wrong with plastic.
They tend to survive longer than some fancy anodized aluminium phone.

Iphone 6s spec actually , except for touch ID 2.0. But since it has lower resolution its faster than the 6s overall

Yes same, i have an SE , and if apple doesn t make an se 2 i m done with them. Problem is, android has all big phones except the sony whatever z something

You cannot bend the 4/4s. I just tried and it will not budge.

Yeah, still have a 4S. Screen hasn't cracked once.

Nice one Pradeep! 2 rupees for you.

6. The camera bump is just so ugly, but worse than that it makes it impossible to put the phone backside down on a flat surface without scratching the lens.

Do you fucking retards know what Bankrupt means?

yeah probably only 5c and later will bend but people first really noticed it on the 6

i5/SE body is by far the best thing they ever did. Just switched from my first gen iSE to an i8 and I have to say the body is just not for me. If they would have just made the iSE the same size as the i8 with all the same features, I'd be far happier. Shit, iSE with iX screen would be bae.

everything before the 7 is pretty fucking good for what it is

nice try with the bad photoshop but you aint foiling any one

It's true though. The front and back glass is too thick and the phone will simply shatter when it yields to force.

Not to say it's durable, though. I remember when everyone drew a shit over the fragility of the glass backplate.

>Phone in pocket
>moving around so it turns on its side, perpendicular to your thigh
>squat
Rip

I do my squats in the rack, Rip.

I never understood bend tests, anything will fucking bend with enough force. Stop sitting on your goddamn phones

Implying they fucked up.

Well you really need to be retarded to bend your phone. No device is indestructible.

I literally don't understand why or how this was ever an issue. They didn't bend that easily.

>buy expensive phone
>put in back pocket and sit on it with no case

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IT BENT!!@@!!! IT FUCKIN BENT!!! I HAVE BEEN WRONGED

Literally my wife has had the same Iphone 6 for more than 2 years and it's totally fucking fine. She doesn't try to bend it, thus it does not bend.

Literally you fuckers are complaining about

>WASSHHAHHAHAH I BENT MY EXPENSIVE DEVICE AND IT FUCKING BENT IN MY HANDS WAHHH

>I SIT ON MY PHONE IN BY BACK POCKET AND IT BROKE WAAAAHHHHHHHHH

My wife was hell bent on getting an iphone last year. I hate appleshit, but gotta have a happy wifu or else. I convinced her to get the 5s on black friday, even though it was a couple generations old. Pretty sure it was the last decent iphone with a headphone jack, and the price was very nice.

Literally how is this ever an issue...

What situation are you guys using your phone in that requires it to be subjected to the forces that would bend it?

If you put your 500+ dollar phone in your back pocket you're a fucking moron not the company.

How in the fuck would it get perpendicular in my pocket? Why don't you put it in a fucking case?

What the fuck is wrong with you guys...

I'm not an applecuck but I guarantee you the phones don't easily bend.

You've gotta try to bend one to get that to happen. If you put it in your back pocket, or try to bend it that's not the companys fucking fault.

I'd say this about any android phone too.

dont forget that guy who broke his fucking thumb trying that whole bending thing

iphone 6s is last one without headphone hack

I stopped buying them at 4, around the time Steve died and that faggot was put in charge of Apple.

Apple is now a brand for girls. The OS is made for girl's tiny retarded brains. The exteriors are gold and shiny, again appealing to girls.

i mean with headphone jack

That's amazing is their a youtube video of this?

It just fucking astounds me that people expect a thin device, literally like 10mm thick or less to not bend when they try to bend it or sit on it.

To put this in perspective compare Iphone specs to average human specs.

Human: 5'11" of muscle, bone, and cartilage..

Iphone: 10mm(max idek how thin it is) of strips of aluminium, silicon, and steel


WHAT THE FUCK I CAN BEND MY PHONE WTF!!@@!!!

If anyone wants to send me an android phone to bend I promise I can...

Design wise? 4s. It was the last iPhone that felt truly premium.

In terms of diminishing returns and technology improvements? 6s. 7 and 8 are the same phone.

kek

No question it was the 3G. With that shitty curvy back, get any grease on your fingers and you were dropping that thing all the way to the apple store for a new one.

5/5s was the last good one.

...

The 4S was the last genuinely good iPhone. Mine still works.
The 5, 5S, and 5C marked the end of an era, and rode on Jobs' "legacy", however everything after it was just Tim Cuck's screwups packaged into shit-tier phones.

>tldr : pic related, the last great apple phone.

...

>those bezels

I've had my iShit 6 for 3 years now and it still looks just like it did the first day I got it. Try treating your shit properly and putting it in your front pocket instead of destroying it with your fat ass and acting surprised about it.

most impressive

going back to the 4s now, and wow, the keyboard is so tiny

obviously the 7
design hasn't changed and they took out the fuckin jack

ok time to turn off god mode

>that meme

i owned 1 3g 4 4s 5 6

4 was the most game changing i still have 64gb 4s (pictured) 4 had the best aesthetic and built like a tank

i never liked the iphone 6 till i got one. It feels much better in the hand, the size is perfect and fast and the audio output dynamics sounds amazing with proper 24bit the only negative is it can bend but i have not had a problem - will be keeping my jailbroken 6 forever !

the 6/6/s/se were the were last of the best and where everything went wrong: the jackapocalypse

apple want to remove the headphone jack and make people go wireless but they dont even support apt-x ! what a fucking joke of a company literally justhideously expensive tracking/facebook machines at this point

I liked my 7+ but the new os is such cancer that I don't even think I can make it another year before I ditch the device and get some android.

Apple was surprised by the sales of the SE. I really hope they introduce a worthy successor. I'm tired of the rounded edges meme on flagship devices.

I would love for Apple to treat it as a premium device instead as the entry-level iPhone. A blend of the X and the SE designs would be perfect. I wonder how much an iPhone X mini would cost.

Such a great device man. The only reason I moved from it to my i8 is to build up credit. I hope to god they realize the gold mine they have with the i5 body and milk it. Knowing Apple they’ll do the exact opposite tho.

>t. iToddlers

Also you misspelled boyfriend.

>Apple was surprised by the sales of the SE. I really hope they introduce a worthy successor

yeah a SE successor without the headphone jack... i cant wait for the amount of butthurt that will be felt through the universe on that dark day

Somehow, buying an iPhone 5c then made less sense than buying an iPhone 8 and arguably an iPhone 7 today.

iPhone 6 is where they went to shit with ugly design, bendgate, camera bump and shitty ios updates.

They lost Steve and resorted to copying everybody else instead of doing the opposite.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the line. It certainly felt like a one-off device at the time, but the demand for it may have changed their plans. Headphone jack seems like an easy concession to make for SE fans, but they will ditch it as soon as there is a significant redesign. I'd accept the tradeoff if it gets a bigger display in the process.

>ugly design
It's ergonomicly superior and way better in real life
>bend gate
True but I have owned my 6 for two years and have not bent it
>camera bump
It is perfectly flat If you use a normal case like a normal person - and even without it doesn't scratch it's Safire isn't it
>shitty iOS updates
What planet on you on ? Why would I want to update my perfectly fine 9.2.1 jailbreak ?

6/s is the objectively the best unless you are a poorfag who still uses a 4s... Now that is slow

fuck that shit it needs to stay the same size.

Partly by excluding the rose gold colour

6 brah
>quads

>this triggers the itoddlers
