It was destined like that the moment it was in manufacturing. Apple knew many many people are waiting on a bigger screen and internationally kept a 1GB RAM. Yet they kept it away from getting Live Photos feature in the next OS update saying the phone has no Force Touch, you can see what happens phones after iPhone 11. iPhone 6 is the phone that fooled many many customers around the world.

Oh no, that means that they’re coming for my iPhone 7 next. My iPhone 7 needs to be put in the Smithsonian because I ran for president with it and told the world about 100 year pandemic as I was running. I knew on 28 January that something might go down and told everybody that ordered my PPE that day and had an entire plan in place that I was using months before any of you were doing anything.

The United States government has refused to investigate national election interference and the purposeful suppression of COVID-19 and I have the information sitting on my iPhone 7. I physically tried to turn in the information at Hill Air Force Base in July 2020 and I have turned in reports to the FBI, Congress, Interpol, and the United Nations that have not been answered.

I don’t understand how anyone can support a company that purposely nerf their previous phones.

  The iPhone 6 is 10 years old this year. and got updates till January 2023. No company is obligated to update their phones for 10 years and many android phone aren’t updated past 3 years so i’d say thats impressive

  My issue with Apple is how short their laptops are supported for.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
