College Humor counts the ways iPhone 6 could be better

By Malarie Gokey September 18, 2014

Even die-hard Apple fans will admit to having a few gripes about the iPhone. Tech journalists may complain about the iPhone 6 Plus’ bigger size and worry about app compatibility on the bigger screens, but average everyday users have a different sent of problems with the two new iPhone 6 models.

College Humor posted a satirical video called, “If the iPhone 6 were actually better,” in which “Jonny Ive” explains all the features normal people wish were included on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

“Ive” reminisces about the debut of the lightning port and says Apple changed the port because “We’re assholes who love money.” To appease users, Apple added the old iPhone charger port to the new phone, right along side the lightning port. In addition, now the battery percentage display actually gives an accurate number, instead of dying without warning when it reaches 11 percent.

In the video, Apple also replaces Apple Maps with Google Maps, mocks Siri, and makes the iPhone 6 out of the same durable, protective material of cases to protect your phone from getting damaged every time you drop it.

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.

There’s a big problem with the iPhone’s Photos app

While my primary device these days continues to be my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve dabbled with plenty of Android phones since I’ve been here at Digital Trends. One of my favorite brands of phone has been the Google Pixel because of its strong suite of photo-editing tools and good camera hardware.

Google first added the Magic Eraser capability with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which is a tool I love using. Then, with the Pixel 8 series, Google added the Magic Editor, which uses generative AI to make edits that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There are also tools like Photo Unblur, which is great for old photographs and enhancing images that were captured with low-quality sensors.
