The meme features a man wearing a striped brown-colored shirt while holding an identical new piece. The man appears to have received the same shirt as a gift or may have just bought it himself. “Me upgrading from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14 after Apple’s announcement today,” the caption says. It targets Apple’s strategy of launching an identical iPhone with minor upgrades as a new product every year. The meme was first posted by Wall Street Memes. This Apple strategy has often been a subject for trolls. Apple launches new iPhone models every year but they mostly look the same. Moreover, the specs and feature set are also largely unchanged. For example, iPhones have had a 12MP primary rear camera since the iPhone 6s in 2015. It finally upgraded to a 48MP unit on the iPhone 14 series yesterday, after seven long years. Even then, the upgrade can only be found on the Pro models. The vanilla iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus still have a 12MP camera at the back. The same goes for the wide display notch as well. It has been there since the iPhone X days in 2017 and is still there. Apple only switched to a pill on the latest Pro models. The smaller iPhone 14 is pretty much the exact copy of the iPhone 13. Hardly anything changes apart from the branding. No wonder it’s a subject of memes.
Samsung has been mocking the Apple iPhone 14 too
Samsung leaves no opportunity wasted to troll Apple. Perhaps the South Korean firm comes up with a few videos mocking its rival around every iPhone launch. This year, it has already published a couple of those. The first one came last week as the iPhone 14 launch event started creating a buzz in the tech world. Samsung targeted Apple’s lack of innovation in that video. It highlighted Galaxy specs and features like 108MP cameras, Space Zoom, and foldables that Apple doesn’t have. Earlier today, Samsung released another video taking a jibe at Apple for not changing anything on the iPhone 14. The company has now found support from the Apple co-founder’s daughter in its efforts. You can check out the meme Eve shared in the screenshot below.
