'It is so bad that I am seriously...' Paytm's Founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma On iPhone 16

Paytm Founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma is dissatisfied with the iPhone 16 camera positioning. He commented on X that he was amazed at how severely the iPhone's camera (software/app) failed in 16.

He is dissatisfied with the appearance of the iPhone and is considering switching to Pixel.

“It is so bad that I am seriously thinking of a Pixel now.  Anyone else going through the same struggles ?” he mentioned in the post on X. 

iPhone 16 Camera

The iPhone 16 was the most current iPhone series upgrade, released last year. The iPhone 16's camera is also vertically stacked, making it possible to shoot spatial films for VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro. It has been making headlines following a price drop on several e-commerce platforms.

Mixed Reactions On Social Media:

Social media was suddenly divided apart in opposition to the feedback shared by Paytm’s Founder. Some users started the comparison of the iPhone16 with Google Pixel and commented on the X; 

“I’m using Pixel 9 pro & iPhone 15pro both, 
- iPhone has better quality of apps + is overall reliable + video shooting is better than anything. 
- Pixel software experience is good + camera for photos is definitely better than iPhone.”

One user suggested system upgrades saying;
“iPhone needs to make serious ammendments in next upgrades to keep intact it's customers”

Another user advised writing on X;

“ I have never used an iPhone in my life and I never want to use this over-hyped product which is built-in on fake. My Brother wanted to Buy 2 Lac IPhone. I asked him to Buy the latest Oppo Reno 11 Pro 5G for 45,000 and invest 1.55 Lacs in Stocks of PayTM. Now he is Happy.”
