In recent years, it has become a tradition that in December, probably the most influential tech YouTuber of today, Marques Brownlee, releases a video in which he announces his Smartphone.one Awards – imaginary prizes for the "best" phones in his opinion over the past year. And even though these rankings are quite debatable and some people criticize them harshly, many users are still curious about how MKBHD perceived the mobile scene over the past year. Fans Apple Then it might be interesting to see that phones from this brand have won four awards, even if one of them is more of a reprimand than a compliment.
Whether you like MKBHD or his style leaves you cold, his selections are based on long-term testing of all the major phones of the year. And that's why it makes sense to watch his video in full. It's not just about the winners, there are often much more interesting details about those who finished just below the top. Brownlee goes to great lengths to explain where the models are excelwhere they are and where they are not, which often says more than the price itself.
But if you just want a quick overview without a broader context, Apple this year he scored as follows:
- Best design: iPhone Air
- Biggest improvement: iPhone 17
- The year's highlight: iPhone 16e
- Phone of the year: iPhone 17
Especially the price for Phone of the Year is quite interesting this year. He became iPhone 17, which isoneIt has “elevated to the level of a full-fledged phone” and has become “actually quite a bargain.” In a way, though, this is no big surprise. Apple namely tooneSamsung has successfully deployed a 120Hz display in the basic line, and together with the improved chip and camera, this year's seventeen makes much more sense than its predecessors.

On the contrary, the designation "The Year's Misfortune" for iPhone The 16e is something that Cupertino definitely doesn't want to hear. The model, which was supposed to be a more affordable option, failed, according to MKBHD, mainly in terms of price-performance ratio. At a time when even cheaper phones are raising the bar, the 16e simply didn't convince.

The crowning glory is the award for best design, which goes to iPhone AirIt's a phone that's definitely eye-catching with its slim profile, light weight, and clean lines. On the other hand, sales of this model have been dismal, so it's questionable how important such results are. This year so Apple Although it is celebrating, it is also receiving a clear message – customers are expecting more. So perhaps they will Apple inspires and will deploy innovations on a large scale in the future.

iPhone Air is the most beautiful iPhone, what ever was created, a phone that you get used to and don't want to change, an absolute synonym for the best design, why are you bringing sales here that are completely irrelevant in design.
Why? Because obviously just being pretty nestachi.
I ask again, what does sales have to do with design?
Oh my God, I'll answer again... They have nothing in common. Still, I don't think it's wrong to have information in the article that the phone is selling poorly. I understand that you're probably annoyed that this is the case, because it seems to me that practically all iPhone owners Air They feel the need to sputter and complain in discussions about how the world doesn't understand a given model and so on, but you don't need to vent here. Both I and others don't really care who uses what.
Exactly, they have nothing in common. I absolutely don't care how much is sold, I'm not a shareholder, I assume you're not a shareholder either. So the whole sentence that he put a crown on it with this price is completely pointless there, just like the sales that you write here for the umpteenth time. I don't think there is a fan in the world Applu, who doesn't know that the phone is selling poorly because journalists have a need to repeat it in every article, even if it's not appropriate at all. It's called bias and a journalist should avoid it and you'll have a bias against Airu squirt :).
You see, Daneil, I'm a shareholder, even though I only have a few hundred thousand there, I'm still interested that it's selling poorly. Have a nice day and good luck :)
But I'm interested in another thing Miss Daniel. I know that beauty is a matter of subjective opinion, but what exactly is beautiful about this cake that another, completely identical cake does not have?
In my opinion, the last beautiful iP was the 4s. This is a gem down to the last detail. Aspect ratio, thickness, no wobbling on the table, glass look combined with a masculine steel frame, gently recessed display. Jewel.
I agree.
