Disappointed fans say that Apple’s ‘innovation died with Steve Jobs’ following its anti-climactic iPhone 15 launch. 

X (formerly Twitter) has been awash with complaints less than 24 hours after Apple’s highly-anticipated ‘Wanderlust’ event.

While the $799/£799 device comes in five never-seen-before colours with an upgraded rear camera, some claim it lacks the developments they had hoped for.

Battery life and screen size are encompassed in this, with the iPhone 15 hosting the same 6.1-inch display and video playback capacity as the iPhone 14.

‘iPhone 15 just looks like the iPhone 14’, one user said, while another moaned: ‘Apple’s innovation died with Steve Jobs.’

One also tweeted: ‘Apple made zero mention of battery life on the iPhone 15 Pro models, and that’s pretty disappointing considering how much focus there has been lately on iPhone 14 battery degradation and general malaise about the longevity of the phones.’

The criticism comes after months of speculation surrounding the iPhone 15, with numerous dummy products and predictions flooding the internet.

Many of these correctly suggested that Apple’s new device would feature a state-of-the-art titanium design made of the same alloy used to build NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover.

Apple claims this will make the model more durable and lightweight compared to previous models.

Swapping out the mute switch for a customisable ‘action button’ was also expected – marking the first time Apple has changed this since 2007. 

And switching its Lightning connector for a USB-C port was anticipated too, as Apple reluctantly obliged to align with new EU regulations.

But ‘Name Drop’ was among some of its more surprising features, allowing users to share contact details by simply bringing two iPhone devices together.

Even still, onlookers say the iPhone 15’s physical appearance is almost the spitting image of an iPhone 14.

Both the iPhone 15 and its predecessor host 6.1-inch screens and weigh just over 170g, with a battery capacity to facilitate 20 hours of video playback.

Both devices also host 12MP TrueDepth front cameras (f/1.9) with autofocus functions, though the iPhone 15’s rear camera has been significantly upgraded. 

‘Oh d**n, it’s the iPhone 12! I mean 13! I mean 14! I mean IPHONE 15. There’s no way I could have told the difference,’ one X user wrote.

Another chimed in: ‘Followed the Apple event and there is no difference between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 #AppleEvent.’

One also said: ‘I’m a die hard Apple fan and iPhone 15 is so bland. I’m skipping and waiting to see iPhone 16. 

‘This should have been called iPhone 14.2. This wasn’t enough to earn the ’15’.’

MailOnline has approached Apple for comment.
