> Almost nobody notices you have a new phone; when someone does, the conversation ends quickly and invariably in a sentence like “it’s just like the old one, only faster”.
I never understood the mindset of getting a new phone so other people will notice. Do you remember what brand and model your friends use? If so, why do you care?
> It is a crazy strategy of Apple to put the “brains” of its most expensive phone, the iPhone 13 Pro Max (+USD 1.099), in its entry model, low cost (USD 429). No other company does this.
It will be even crazier for Apple to design and manufacture an entire separate line of chips just for this phone. Reusing the chip currently in production is convenient which is why other companies do this as well (DSLR sensors and processors instantly come to mind).
Good for you for liking your phone. But this reads a bit too young and eager. Good luck with your reviews going forward.
