On September 27, Wang Ziru once again found himself at the center of public attention, this time due to a hands-on review video of the iPhone 18 Pro. On the evening of September 25, he shared his final thoughts on the iPhone 18 Pro series, candidly labeling this year as a particularly lackluster one for Pro models and explicitly advising consumers against upgrading. Wang Ziru outlined three primary reasons for his stance: Firstly, the performance gains are marginal. Despite notable enhancements to the A20 Pro chip, the day-to-day usage experience remains virtually indistinguishable. Secondly, the industrial design (ID design) closely mirrors that of its predecessor, lacking sufficient aesthetic evolution to garner social distinction. Thirdly, the price hike further diminishes its cost-benefit ratio. He emphasized that for iPhone 17 Pro owners, these enhancements are nearly imperceptible, and upgrading won't bring about a qualitative leap in daily smoothness, photo capture speed, or gaming frame rates. Moreover, following the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro series, prices in third-party markets swiftly declined, with the 256GB model dropping below the official retail price, indicating limited market enthusiasm for the product. Wang Ziru's advice against purchasing has ignited widespread debate. Some view it as sincere counsel, while others suspect it's a ploy for attention. Nevertheless, his perspective at least serves as a reminder to users: amid the decelerating pace of smartphone technological innovation, the rationale for upgrading phones must be reevaluated. It's no longer about chasing the 'novelty' factor but rather about assessing the 'necessity' of an upgrade.
