Why New iPhones Look Boring?

We may talk a lot about 3 new iPhones that were announced on the event. These are obviously loaded with few exciting new features that Apple has never offered before. But why iPhone has failed to attract our attention like before? There might be so many reasons for that. Many people believe the iPhone has become boring, perhaps after a decade since the first iPhone launch; Apple flagship product is simply now losing its charm. There has been so many upgrades and add-on features introduced year on year before it now reaches to a stage that these incremental changes are overshadowed by the price.

Let`s have a look on comparison between new iPhone XS, XS Max and IPhone XR.
