Steve Jobs' Daughter Mocks The iPhone 14 Release With A Meme On Instagram

09/09/2022

In 2007, Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder and its CEO at the time, announced the original iPhone, the world was awed.

At that time, the ecosystem was ruled by the likes of Nokia's Symbian and BlackBerry. Apple entered the market, and brought many new things to the table, opening the gates to developers thriving from creating apps, and a mobile world where people can remain connected wherever they go.

Fast forward to 2022, the mobile internet is already common. It's safe to say that almost everyone on Earth know what a smartphone is, and have heard of the internet.

Apps are plenty, serving various purposes, and smartphone cameras have become significantly good that they can be great alternatives to SLR cameras. Smartphones' displays have also become so good that people can indulge to watching videos and playing games for hours at the time.

Everything has become so common, that innovation is lacking.

And Steve Jobs daughter who experienced the rise of the smartphone era, thanks to her father, is clearly disappointed, that she had to candidly post a meme to mock the 2022 iPhones.

Eve Jobs mocking the iPhone 14

Eve Jobs, daughter of Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell Jobs, shared her thoughts on the iPhone 14 lineup by posting a meme to her Instagram Story.

Through her post, she is clearly saying that Apple's 2022's phones aren't appealing to her.

The 24-year-old model reposted meme featured a photo of a man holding a gifted striped burgundy shirt, which is identical to the one he is wearing.

"Me upgrading from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14 after Apple's announcement today," Eve said in the meme.

While every new generation of the iPhone introduces new things, including more powerful hardware, more recent generations of the iPhones look and feel similar to their previous versions.

Since iPhone X, the iPhone 11 series look pretty much the same as the iPhone 14, despite being 3 years older.

While Apple cultists do say that newer iPhones are better than the last ones, recent iPhone models are near-identical products to the rest of the world.

Some years, a button disappears or a port changes, the sizes shift or the display material alters, the performance improves or the cameras become stronger, but the phone remains pretty much the same.

Steve Jobs reportedly said that he could envision her running Apple or becoming president of the United States.

"She's a pistol and has the strongest will of any kid I've ever met," Steve said.

But Eve apparently made her own path, and took a different journey to that of her father.

While ambition may run in the family, and that she is the direct descendent of Steve Jobs, Eve isn't fond of the tech-driven Silicon Valley.

Instead of having a go and foresee her father's empire in the overly-hyped tech world, Eve chose the more-glamorous fashion world.

The youngest daughter of Steve Jobs has walked for Coperni, starred in a Glossier campaign, and was spotted sitting at the front row at Paris Fashion Week.

The 23-year-old is seemingly working hard to land her own successes.

Eve is also a competitive equestrian.

Eve was only 12 when her father died of pancreatic cancer in 2011. But even back then, Eve was already described as a "strong-willed, funny firecracker."

And while Eve cannot deny that her name will forever be tied to the Apple brand, it's worth noting that she wasn't raised with the iPhone.

"Every evening Steve made a point of having dinner at the big long table in their kitchen, discussing books and history and a variety of things,” Walter Isaacson said of her.

"No one ever pulled out an iPad or computer. The kids did not seem addicted at all to devices."

Walter Isaacson is the writer of Steve Jobs, the biography of Steve Jobs. It was Steve himself who asked Walter to write the book.

And despite being the daughter of the Apple co-founder, Eve isn't inheriting the billions of dollars her father left for the family. Her mother, Laurene Powell Jobs, said that Steve's fortune ends with her, as she plans to spend it on philanthropy to try to “effect the greatest amount of good.”

Eve isn't the first prominent person mocking the iPhones. Telegram founder Pavel Durov also said that newer iPhones lack the innovation.

And not just that, because Steve Wozniak, the engineer that co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs, also couldn't tell the difference between newer iPhones.
