Apple has been on a bit of a bad streak lately when it comes to software updates. This is especially worth bringing up because 2024 was the year for which the company, and its user base, had really high hopes. All major Apple products were supposed to outshine the competition, so what went wrong?

This, coupled with Apple Intelligence being available on iPhone 15 Pro, meant that the iPhone 16 was a very unconvincing upgrade.
