iPhones are getting seriously boring lately!!

Hi,

So I switched from android+windows to a full apple ecosystem about 4 yrs ago, with the MacBook, iPhone, iPad and AirPods, the whole bundle! Even about over a year ago, got the pro max iPhone.

It was surely a luxury at first, with the ecosystem supporting easy file transfer, and all of my devices staying in sync always, and many other benefits that people using them understand.

But they’ve become so sterile lately, even with iOS 18 bringing the so called freedom to customize. So much so that, I’m okay with compromising the luxury of the apple ecosystem, for a Samsung or Pixel or even Oneplus! They’ve all looked so good with their phones these past years. They look more colorful, they all promise years of software support which used to be a dealbreaker, they’re comparatively cheaper too, and as a whole, they just seem like they’re more fun to use!

Is it just me or are there others who feel this way? Are there things that apple is trying to do to maybe change things up?
