Apple's iPhone 17 Launch Faces Criticism

As anticipation builds for Apple Inc.'s upcoming iPhone 17 launch, industry analyst Daniel Newman is raising eyebrows with his sharp critique of the tech giant. Newman, CEO of Futurum Group, expressed his dissatisfaction with Apple's apparent reliance on predictable upgrades over groundbreaking innovations.

Daniel Newman's Bold Statement

On Sunday, Newman took to X (formerly Twitter) ahead of Apple's highly-publicized event scheduled for September 9. He stated, "The next 'big $AAPL event' will be to launch a new iPhone 17 Air. I am no longer surprised by Apple's lack of innovation and ingenuity. But come on, for crying out loud. You're better than this, Apple." His comments come just days before the event at the iconic Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California.
