The iPhone 13 adds very little and is a extremely small upgrade, it's hardly the most important iPhone ever. It's less important than most releases have been.
Then take this:
"The new cameras are for the new generation of YouTube, Instagram and TikTok influencers. Ordinary people with extraordinary tools can do extraordinary work."
Since when has being a 'Tiktok influencer' been extraordinary work?
This article seems to just be written to talk nonsense with real bias, like the author decided what they wanted to write and then tried to make an article of it to hit there quota.
I'm pretty sure that the newest iPhone is always the most important iPhone ever.
I will say, though, that the camera improvements are awfully appealing to me even though I would never in a million years upload anything to YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. We use the camera a lot on our phones, and these are good improvements and better battery life is also nice.
The weird thing is the thought that you need to upgrade phones frequently. It is important and good for a manufacturers to make frequent improvements to their products. That doesn't mean you should upgrade constantly. If you have the previous model, complaining that the upgrade is small implies that you are on some sort of yearly upgrade cycle - which is bad.
A few months ago, we had a 5c, an SE 1st gen and an 8 as our family phones. AT&T said the 5c was too old to be on their network, so now we have the SE 1st gen, the 8 and an SE 2nd gen. I'm now considering the 13 mini to replace the SE 1st gen - and that's a really big upgrade.
I don’t see how this is a smaller upgrade than the XS, 6s, or any other S year. It’s always faster SoC, better battery, better Camera, and a gimmick. This year the SoC(‘s GPU) is much faster, the battery is much better, the Camera is much better, and the 5G modem is much much better.
