In the iPhone 15 release they wrote "huge leap" 6 times. It felt like something to anchor the perception and to trick journalists to include it in a sentence. But when they say it so much, it kinda shines through that it's mostly just desperate words. "any man who must say I'm the king is no true king" vibes.

The fact that's it's just 15 seems to belie this. I would expect Apple to re-brand once something truly different comes along... that being said all smartphones are becoming long and in the tooth and we're finally starting to see inklings of what might replace our phone addiction in the near-term (audio (buds) + vision, eyeglasses etc.)
