[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] The youngest daughter of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has attracted attention by sharing a meme targeting Apple's new product.

According to foreign media such as Business Insider, Eve Jobs, the youngest daughter of Steve Jobs, posted a photo on her Instagram on the 7th (local time) after Apple unveiled the iPhone 14.

The photo shows a man holding a shirt identical to the one he is wearing. Above it was the phrase, "Upgrading from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14 after today's Apple announcement."

This meme criticizes the newly released iPhone 14 for not being much different from the previous model. This meme first appeared on Wall Street Memes, an investor-focused account, after the iPhone 14 was unveiled and spread on social networking services (SNS).

The media described Eve Jobs' action as "heartbreaking." Since Jobs passed away in 2011, some have criticized Apple for losing some of its innovative technology, and in this context, Eve Jobs delivered a jab.

Meanwhile, on the 7th, Apple introduced new products including the iPhone 14 series at Apple Park in Cupertino, California.

The iPhone 14 series includes the 6.1-inch (15.4 cm) base model, the 6.7-inch (17.0 cm) Plus, and the premium models: the 6.1-inch Pro and the 6.7-inch Pro Max. The 5.4-inch Mini model, which was released until last year, was not included.

The prices were set at $799 for the base model and $999 for the Pro model in US dollars. Contrary to industry expectations, these are the same levels as last year's iPhone 13.

However, due to the strong dollar exchange rate over the past year, prices are expected to effectively rise in most global markets. For example, the iPhone 14 base model costs ?849 in the UK, up ?70 from last year's iPhone 13 (?779). In Australia, it launched at AUD 1,399, AUD 50 higher than last year, and in Germany, it starts at €999, €100 higher. In Korea, it is reported to have increased by about 160,000 won to 1,250,000 won.
