Apple’s iPhone launches have become somewhat formulaic in recent years. The shiny new model is revealed, we hear about how powerful the new processor and camera are, and the phrase “best iPhone yet” is usually thrown in there for good measure. Picture and sound performance, on the contrary, is relegated to the footnotes or is sometimes absent altogether.
While we yearn for a segment in Apple’s yearly livestream to dig deeper into new features that enhance the movie and music capabilities of the latest iPhone handset, we’re also ready to accept that megapixels and app loading times are a bigger draw, even though each iPhone generation traditionally tends to feature a better AV experience than its predecessor.
