iPhones are a staple accessory among celebrities, top executives like CEOs, and even politicians in the Indian government. The iconic Apple logo has almost become synonymous with status and sophistication, making it rare to see public figures without one.
However, what if we told you that Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the CEO of Paytm and a prominent figure in India's startup ecosystem, has publicly criticised the latest iPhone 16 on X (formerly known as Twitter)?In a surprising post, Sharma expressed his frustration with the iPhone 16's performance, particularly its camera software.
He went so far as to reveal that he is now seriously considering switching to a Google Pixel.Taking to X, Vijay Shekhar Sharma shared his disappointment, saying: "I am surprised how the iPhone killed its camera (software / app) so badly in 16.He further added, “It is so bad that I am seriously thinking of a Pixel (Google Pixel) now.Concluding his post, Sharma asked if others were experiencing similar struggles with the iPhone 16.I am surprised how the iPhone killed its camera (software / app) so badly in 16.
It is so bad that I am seriously thinking of a Pixel now. Anyone else going through the same struggles ?While his post did not detail the specific problems with the camera or the software, it was clear that the device had not met his expectations.
Additionally, Sharma did specify (later in replies) that he was using the standard iPhone 16, not an iPhone 16 Pro model, and that could have been the reason why he was left underwhelmed.Sharma's tweet sparked varied reactions from users.
