10 Reasons to Wait for Next Year's iPhone 18 Pro

Never, since my original SE have I put my iPhone in a case. Too bulky, does not slip in/out of pocket as easily.

I use a Pitaka as its crazy thin, nothing on the screen though.

Exactly. Not buying a phone because the shade isn’t dark enough and too blue sounds like you don’t need a. Ew phone anyway. Most people don’t care about the color once they actually use the phone.

No matter what colour you pick when you look at your screen its the same black ring around it!

Having said that I still wouldn't pick orange

I will add three more:

1. Loose screens making clicking sounds or air puff soundsz

2. USB-C charging make an static noise which can be heard if you record videos while on a powerbank.

3. Mechanical noises from the camera.

You should have come with this BEFORE people bought it.

They released the same article like ten times in a week before release. I always end up cancelling my preorders.

There’s an 11th reason to wait : anti reflective display. The iPhone is way beyond Samsung on this matter

I not entirely. I had the iPhone X in black and didn’t like it at all, because even when the thing came out the bezels were pretty thick, and (space) black didn’t help that. I was very happy with my iPhone 11 Pro in white even though it had the same width.
Nowadays, the bezels are sooo thin it really doesn’t matter what color you get, but 10 years ago color was able to make a real difference in how you perceive your iPhone.

To be fair, it's harder to identify sarcasm when what it's mocking has become so common and receives support from others.

That’s true. I knew that when posting it but I didn’t expect all the Cook haters to hide today.
Obviously I wasn’t serious, Cook held the company together even under the current US government, and for that alone we have to thank him.

Do you actually throw yourself on the floor and roll around laughing after you hit submit on each of your posts?

Only on days when an iphone is rumoured to be about 1/4 of a kilo. Hilarious

Apple, please give us a black iPhone Pro! Not having it black was the main reason I did not upgrade from iPhone 13 Pro this year, even though I wanted to!

I knew this would be an upgrade year for me before the colors were announced. I ended up with an iPhone 17 Pro Max with a black leather case from Nomad and it’s been fantastic. Would I have preferred black? Absolutely 100%, but it didn’t stop me from upgrading this year from my iPhone 13 Pro Max. So now the back of my iPhone has a mostly black look with a deep blue cutout at the top. I don’t look at it & hate it, it is what it is: The best new iPhone upgrade I could make this year. No regrets about getting it. I do hope in 4 more years they will have a black iPhone Pro Max, but who knows? As for the person not seeing them in the real world, I’m not surprised as I usually travel with my phone in my pocket listening to music on my AAPs 3.

With that leaks and rumors - Just buy base 17 as it a better value overall then wait for Pro anniversary edition at 2027

Just buy base 17 as it a better value overall then wait for Pro anniversary edition at 2027 because the base 17 exists as a buyable product now and the iPhones 18 (whatever version) and the pro anniversary edition don’t exist as buyable products now.

It tends tobe a better plan to buy something that exists than something that doesn’t exist.

…and the heaviest, sounds like. Wife had that heaviest on record years ago and that thing was a chunk. Not looking forward to that, to be honest. Battery is good enough on these 17PMs. Bring better battery to the iPP13s!

Maybe an improved Air 2 will tempt some people interested in the 18PM to switch for the lighter weight?
