What needs to change in the next iPhone to explode the market

It seems that even fans of the brand did not know why to change the two-year-old models on the iPhone 11. And this year the situation may repeat itself, unless, of course, Apple does not take seriously the update of the smartphone. And to make it easier for the company, we have compiled a wish list. These five changes will breathe new life into the iPhone.

1. Rejection of Lightning in favor of USB Type-C

It is bad manners to use proprietary connectors in 2020, so we look forward to Lightning's funeral, followed by the transition to USB Type-C. And this is not only our desire: at the beginning of the year, the European Parliament voted to define a single standard for chargers for all manufacturers. Most likely, it will be exactly USB Type ‑ C.

Apple switched the iPhone to Lightning in 2012, and then it really made sense. The new connector was compact and convenient, which neither the previous standard of the company nor microUSB could boast of. However, after eight years, everything has changed - and USB Type-C has become the optimal solution for all devices.

The company itself uses the universal connector in the iPad Pro and MacBook, so many are waiting for a similar solution in the iPhone. Of course, it is unpleasant to part with the profit from licensing accessories, but there should be a limit to everything.

2. Screen with a frequency of 120 hertz

We've seen a lot of Android smartphones with 120Hz screens before, and it really makes the user experience better. The animation becomes smoother, which is especially noticeable when scrolling through social media feeds.

I wish Apple had picked up the trend. Ironically, the company has been using high refresh rate screens for a long time: two years ago, it launched the iPad Pro with a 120Hz display. However, we have not yet seen anything similar in the iPhone.

3. More memory

First of all, this concerns the basic version of the smartphone, which is still equipped with 64 GB of internal memory. Even taking into account the transfer of photos to iCloud, this is criminally small for such an expensive device.

Fortunately, this year Apple has taken the path of increasing memory in its gadgets. The minimum amount of ROM in the iPad Pro has grown from 64 GB to 128 GB, and in the MacBook Air - from 128 GB to 256 GB.

It would be great if this trend made it to the iPhone and the base model already offered 128GB of internal storage. This capacity will be enough for most users, with the exception of hardcore photographers and 4K video enthusiasts.

4. New camera

In 2019, Apple has already updated the camera in the iPhone, adding a wide-angle module. Nevertheless, in the camp of Android-smartphones, the progress is much more significant: the new flagships boast a five-fold zoom-periscope and new image sensors.

Of course, the quality of photos also depends on the post-processing algorithms, and everything is great with them in the iPhone. But now Apple is running into the potential of the sensor, which was last updated in the iPhone XS.

If the company upgrades the camera in the new iPhone, it can compete with Android flagships such as the Huawei P40, OPPO Find X2 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Or even bypass them due to high-quality software.

5. Fast charging in all models

Apple discriminates against users of basic iPhone models in every possible way: they put up not only with a small amount of internal memory, but also with a slow replenishment of energy.

The fact that a $ 70,000 smartphone comes with a 5-watt charging adapter is an outrageous fact. While it takes less than an hour to power Android smartphones, iPhone 11 owners have to wait at the outlet for four hours.

Of course, you can buy a more powerful charger, but such commercialism in relation to flagship smartphones looks strange. Don't do that, Apple.
