Ted’s Take:
So, the new iPhones all have the same design, and it seems like Apple is playing it safe. The iPhone 15 might look more modern than the iPhone 14, but let’s be honest, they all still look like rectangles with screens. As for the iPhone 16, there are rumors of a hole-punch design, but personally, I think it’s too soon for Apple to make such a change. Face ID is the holy grail of iPhone features, so they better make sure it works flawlessly before messing with the display layout. Plus, Android phones have already been using hole-punch designs, but they can get away with it because they don’t have Face ID. Apple needs to take baby steps towards an all-screen iPhone, and I’m okay with that. Let’s just hope they don’t keep giving us the same old design for the next five years. Come on, Apple, give us something fresh and exciting
