The iPhone 16: A Familiar Upgrade
The iPhone 16 is great, but it’s mostly in the ways we’ve come to expect from Apple. With fewer groundbreaking innovations, the focus seems to be more on refining existing technologies rather than introducing new concepts. While this consistency might feel a bit routine to some tech enthusiasts, it also brings reliability and a sense of familiarity.
