"Tell your Lord that iPhone 17 has a thermally-conductive aluminum unibody, dual-side Ceramic Shield, ProRes Raw, A19 chip and 48MP fusion camera equal to 8 lenses.” "The Anjin says iPhone 17 is exactly like the iPhone 16 with slightly better camera and comes in cosmic orange.”
Two individuals, a man in a blue kimono and a woman in a floral kimono, stand in a traditional Japanese setting with wooden structures and tiled roofs. Another person in a dark kimono stands in the background on a raised platform. The post text references "The Anjin," suggesting the man in the blue kimono is this character.

The part I found interesting is that on Apple's own site for all the comparison charts they only allow you to compare it to the iPhone 15 or earlier, not the current iPhone 16.
The iphone is on the diminishing returns side of the innovation S-Curve. Only way out is to jump to a new S-curve… ie a worse performing but novel form factor emerges. I suspect AI-first personal assistant devices.
