By Team Newsable | First Published Oct 14, 2023, 5:03 PM ISTApple CEO Tim Cook, in an interview, was asked if it was necessary for the company to launch a new iPhone every year. He said that it is for the people who want it.
The iPhone is one of the most desired cellphones in the world, and each year, when a new variation is released, people rush to get their hands on it. The iPhone 15 was released this year on September 12 during Apple's Wonderlust event. The phone was released a few days later, on September 22, and customers were spotted queuing outside the newly established Apple stores in Delhi.
That is the scene practically every year when Apple releases a new phone to the market. Apple CEO Tim Cook was recently questioned if the business needed to release a new iPhone every year. While it is true that iPhone lovers stand outside stores, waiting for the new phone to launch, some people wonder why the company launches a new phone every year.
