A lot of that is preference, but I feel you on the above. Sometimes it sucks remembering how things used to / could be.

Thank you, Cpt. Obvious...
. When is making a choice whether or not to purchase a luxury good, not preference?Also, a lot were actually objective measurements...
Objectively better macro by far
objectively stronger processing (which cannot be undone later)
Actually heavier device
actually sharper edges
actually thicker profile
actually bigger screen.
actually more intrusive Dynamic... (sorry, I puke a little bit in my mouth when I hear an adult say it) Island, that is visible in more playback media than the notch since it digs further into the image than the notch ever did.
This is especially egregious now that 21:9 is becoming more and more common for cinematic and gaming videos and is a backwards step.
But yes, you are right, it is preference.
It's possible that one would like non removable processing,
like a heavier device, like sharper, less comfortable edges,
like a thicker phone,
like a camera that intrudes more into their media.
The fact is that most of these are tradeoffs for the benefits of a bigger screen with thinner bezels, a more modern design and a bigger battery to offset the more powerful CPU.

It seems that most people want the Pro models. Apple needs to either adjust the price of the non Pro phones or add features to justify the cost. We’ll see if this strategy works.
What's the big difference between that and what we have now? I honestly don't notice the difference lol
Seeing the way China is using Face ID to control its population I will be keeping my trusty iPhone 8+ until Apple comes to it's corporate sense and brings back Touch ID.
Even if it means abandoning the whole Apple Ecosystem and moving to Samsung.
Big Tech corporations tend to have "15 years of fame".
IBM was king of the hill until they became fat and arrogant and were then ousted by Microsoft who in turn were overtaken by Apple. Watch out Apple, your turn is coming. Don't take your customers for granted.

the word innovation has got to be the most overused and overrated word in tech these days. Alot of the expections are simply not realistic.
the iphone 15 pro max or ultra should be the biggest iphone upgrade we have seen in years.
iPhone 14 Pro - Deep Purple
iphone 13 Pro - Sierra Blue
iPhone 12 Pro - Pacific Blue
iPhone 11 Pro - Midnight Green
This is for others wondering because I had forgotten myself. I also fully agree with the comment and very much dislike Apple’s misleading renderings showing these phones having more color than they actually do. Even the Sierra Blue, which I own, isn’t as bright as they make it seem. I still like it out of the four listed, though. Fingers crossed for something really special on the 15. We’ll see! But I’m not holding my breath.
There’s a big difference, imo. What we have now is a shell of it’s former functionality.
I loved my windows phone, which was in-sync with my Xbox account, until they discontinued support due to lack of app development. It’s still my favorite mobile OS to this date. ‘Live Tiles’ was truly innovative and made the phone feel fun & alive instead of just a tool clicking on static icons for app launches.
Have to update my poll.
One of my customers contacted me to say they purchased an iPhone 14. LOL. (Apple refused to replace the battery on his iPhone 7, apparently).
Looks like the 14 *is* selling, after all.

I didn't say I want it necessarily, just that I think it is coming
It solves the issue of the space buttons and charging ports take, as well as limited waterproofing and dustproofing. We've already seen sim-less phones and rumours of solid state volume/lock buttons, so I don't think its unrealistic to imagine. Plus wireless charging and transfer speeds are always improving
The MagSafe induction coil actually takes up a large amount of space within the device: much more than a USB-C or Lightning port!
