HONOR CEO, George Zhao, decided to comment on the iPhone 15 series, as he believes the devices are disappointing. He said that in a recent interview, and he did elaborate on it.
HONOR CEO is not impressed with the iPhone 15 series
To be more accurate, this is exactly what George Zhao said: “When everyone can expect it before the launch, we feel a little disappointed”. Despite that, he believes that the iPhone 15 series will sell really well.
He did say that it lacks when it comes to innovation, though. He believes there is more than one area where the phones are lacking in terms of innovation, but he believes the form factor is the main one. He’s disappointed Apple is still only selling bar phones.
This is understandable, as HONOR recently showed off two truly innovative foldable phones in Berlin. The HONOR Magic V2 is the thinnest book-style foldable out there. The HONOR V Purse is an innovative, fashion-forward, and outwards-folding foldable smartphone.
HONOR is actually expected to announce the HONOR V Purse in China today, making it a product that will actually be available, not just a concept smartphone.
Apple doesn’t seem to be in a hurry when it comes to foldable phones
In any case, George Zhao, and everyone else, will have to wait in order to see a foldable from Apple. There are still no strong signs that Apple is remotely close to delivering something like that.
The company has been rumored to be working on foldable prototypes for a long time now. We haven’t really seen a concrete rumor regarding an actual launch. As per usual, Apple is waiting for everyone else to perfect something (in this case a different form factor) in order to jump in. The company is not in a hurry at all.
Apple did make a major move forward with the iPhone 15 series, though, as it finally included a Type-C port on the device. Truth be said, the EU forced Apple’s hand, but still, it’s nice to see.
