But that's exactly what it's doing for the vast majority, who will certainly use it for shooting video.
No, to accommodate all that porn they think people are storing on their iPhones!
I think that Apple’s idea is that Pro photographers/videographers can have a quality camera on them no matter where they go. Is it as good as a standalone, professional camera? No, of course not. But it‘s better than nothing at all. For the rest of us the cameras are super nice point and shoot cameras Without having to carry a separate device with us.
There will not be a hole punch design next year. Not enough room for all the necessary components. Front cam, Face ID, IR illuminator, etc. As for titanium frames, that is possible but would serve little purpose. The stainless steel used in current pro models is harder and more scratch resistant. Ti is stronger for a given weight so a frame of Ti would be lighter than the current Pro but heavier than the aluminum of the regular 13. The only real purpose, except for a few grams of weight savings, would be the Wow factor.
We're still a year away from ever seeing the iPhone 14 and not even a month since the iPhone 13. Despite that, the rumors are already floating on what Apple has planned for next year. The latest rumor suggests that for the iPhone 14, Apple plans to include a whopping 2TB storage option.
With the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple added a 1TB storage option for customers, the largest ever storage configuration offered on an iPhone. The new option was due primarily to new camera features, such as ProRes for videos launching later this year. ProRes videos, in addition to 4K 60FPS videos shot on the iPhone, consume significantly more storage than regular videos.
Apple has marketed the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max as the ultimate tool for videographers and cinematographers, and the 1TB choice is inherently tailored towards the most professional of users.
With the iPhone 14 next year, Apple is settings its eyes on making its Pro iPhones even more "Pro" by offering a 2TB option, according to a sketchy rumor from Chinese site MyDrivers. The rumor, which should be viewed with a considerable amount of skepticism, claims that Apple will adopt QLC flash storage for next year's iPhone and that thanks to the newer storage technology, it will increase capacity to 2TB.
A report earlier this week from DigiTimes was the first to suggest Apple would be adopting new storage technologies for next year's iPhone, but that report lacked mention of a 2TB option in specific.
Apple doesn't regularly offer new storage configurations, and when it does, as evident this year by new camera features, it has a reason in mind. Next year's iPhone 14 is expected to focus more heavily on a complete redesign that removes the notch rather than concentrate on camera upgrades. Regardless, camera improvements are a given for every new iPhone. Still, there's no indication to think that the iPhone 14 will expand camera capabilities to the extent that a new 2TB storage configuration is practically warranted.
For the iPhone 14 lineup, Apple plans two 6.1 and 6.7-inch models, meaning the end of the smaller 5.4-inch form factor, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. On the higher-end iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models, 6.1 and 6.7-inches in size, respectively, Apple's rumored to include a hole-punch design for Face ID rather than a notch. There's also the possibility of the higher-end models featuring titanium bodies and a vapor chamber thermal system.

It would work if they dropped face ID and used the iPad mini power button touch ID.
I can’t wait!
My iPhone 7+ is compatible with iOS 15, but iOS 16 may not compatible with iPhone 7 or older model.

Great money maker for Apple. Interesting they never give you any more money for the extra storage when you trade in.
I have a synology, and I agree. If you are diligent, you can set up some pretty snazzy stuff with a NAS. And you can properly secure it. I have 2 X 10TB installed in mine, running in mirrored mode, with room for two more drives for expansion or for striping. I have replication set up for my "downloads" and "documents" folders on my Windows devices. I also have my movie and some TV shows saved on it for streaming to any device in my house.
There's also a way for me to set up folders or something so that I can save things to it even when I'm not within range of my home WIFI. I just need to allocate some time to figure out how to make it all happen.
Replication is nice, but it does have some limitations. If I save a document on one device, it will show up as available on the other devices. But consequently, if I delete a document on one device, replication will delete that document on all of my devices, and probably within a minute or less!
So backups are critical. I have many terabytes available for backups if I so choose to do that, but for now I have my computers write their backups to locally-connected storage drives. For my documents, I back up 3 times each day, 8 hours apart. That can easily be made to happen more often, but it's fine for now since I have a full-time job and don't really do a lot of updating of documents on my personal devices.
I am thinking of setting up my own clumsy version of iCloud on it (specifically so that my iPhone, iPads, or eventually a Mac might be able to use it instead of the real iCloud), or at least to try to see what that might entail if it's even possible to do.
iCloud is cheap, but Apple has been moving away from most users in the last 5+ years. I don't keep dirty stuff on my devices, but man oh man, nobody seems to be concerned with false accusations or being framed for a crime. That's a very real concern, or at least it should be. So it's time for me to investigate this; just for my own protection.
And really, wouldn't it be nice to be able to cancel my iCloud subscription? I hate subscriptions, so yeah, that WOULD be great!
And still ship with ancient wired file transfer speeds so it can take like forever transfer 2TB?
Cool. More options are never a bad thing!
That said, Apple has been VERY aggressive with its performance improvements over the last few years, and now they’re starting to offer insane amounts of storage.
I feel like this is building up to something. The AR headset (driven by a iPhone) seems like the most logical option. I consider myself a fairly intensive user of my phone and am still not anywhere close to tapping all its power.

They already did. They just need to rename it iCamera. Phone included.
2Tb and above is only good if they put a USB-C and Thunderbolt controller on the thing to get data out of the phone in the fastest possible time.
Just buy the lightning USB connector to connect your external storage to your iphone. External storage problem solved. The adapter is about $30 i think.
It would def be very interesting to see what Apple could achieve with a full frame sensor.
Transferring large amounts of stuff off an iPhone is a slow PITA. I mean a video is going to be hundreds of gigs or more, which is going to be slow no matter what you do.
They need to implement target disk mode or something so the iPhone can connect at full TB3 speed.
