I'm an ex-Apple employee - the iPhone 15 launch was the most disappointing ... trends now

Outside critics can endlessly debate whether innovation died with Steve Jobs, but at least one former Apple employee has taken to TikTok to blast the company's flagging ingenuity and plummeting standards. 

The ex-employee, once an Apple sales specialist based in Los Angeles, called the launch of the new iPhone 15 'probably the most disappointing event I've seen.' 

Despite touted changes, like USB-C charging and potentially life-saving new features like Roadside Assistance, the ex-sales rep called Apple's latest just 'the iPhone 14 Pro with titanium' - a reference to the new device's 'aerospace‑grade titanium' exterior.

Worse, the ex-employee said, the 'colors suck.' 

But, the new iPhone was not the only target of his withering criticisms: Everything from the new Series 9 Apple Watch to the Apple's desktop displays were put in his crosshairs. 

Watch out for the iPhone SE, which he described as simply 'Tim Cook's way of scamming you.'

When it comes to the new iPhone 15, former Apple sales specialist Tyler Morgan, who goes by @hitomidocameraroll on TikTok, had little interest in new hardware features like the new 'action button,' which he described as 'whatever.'

Mobile gamers will enjoy the new phone's ability to perform 'ray tracing,' a graphics rendering feature that allows surface features like virtual reflections, lighting sources, and shadows behave more like they would in the real world.

Morgan described this addition as simply 'okay.'

The iPhone camera's ability to do five-times zoom was described as 'measly' - and, adding insult to injury, only available on the iPhone Pro Max.

He also blasted the mobile device's drab, professional new colors: beige and blue.
