HBO talk show host Bill Maher railed on Apple for not thinking different with the iPhone 7 on his latest show. He suggested that if Apple really wanted to do some thing truly innovative, it should try not releasing a new iPhone ever year.

The comedian’s hilarious segment took aim at everyone from the shareholder that demand greatness every quarter, to the early adopters enabling the monster.

The iPhone 7 debuted earlier this month with the same basic look as the iPhone 6s, minus a headphone jack. The biggest visual difference is that iPhone 7 comes in two new black color options.

Apple’s new device is also water-resistant, and packs a better camera, faster processor and a new Home button.

While some pundits have claimed the iPhone 7 is a lackluster update, demand for the new devices has been much higher than expected. Both T-Mobile and Sprint claimed preorders were nearly four times greater than with the iPhone 6s.

Apple announced it won’t reveal first week sales numbers, but the CEO of iPhone-maker Pegatron says he’s optimistic that iPhone 7 sales won’t be disappointing
