this new iphone is 2000 nits now, even without pro models. 2000 is plenty for direct bright sunlight view for a few seconds. Any higher just leads to even faster overheating which is an issue on samsung, pixel, and iphone 15 pro when high brightness is on. I doubt the 16 will be much better for that anyway.
Yay just saved 2k by not having to upgrade 15pm and aw2
Comparing the 15 Pro to the 16 Pro on the store now is brutal.
It's the same phone with a new button, slightly better zoom, barely noticeable bigger screen.
WOW
Been part of the iPhone Upgrade Program since it launched but.... WOW.

The most compelling reason to upgrade for me is if I run out of 64 GB storage and want to double it to 128 GB.
From Evan Blass on Twitter
“Tim Cook, while certainly a more-than-capable leader, seems like he's no longer the most effective messenger to sell Apple's products going forward. These prerecorded events, in general, are really kind of torturous.”
Couldn’t put it better myself

So MagSafe is now 25w charging but usb c is the same as before 20w how’s that possible, and what happened to the so called jpg-do format
When the heck will the Mac upgrades come? The M4 chip has been out for ages already, just hurry up and stick it in everything, Apple...
EarPods are still available on Apple.com folks. False alarm earlier today.
I've read a number of comments like this and this really made me thinking (although I've long thought about this)...
Capitalism as an economic engine is stupid in pushing companies to keep having new products after new product after new product. It's all about growth etc. Meanwhile, we are increasingly aware and knowledgeable that unfettered growth is not sustainable and not desirable.
I wouldn't mind if Apple stopped thinking it needs to wow people every year with new products. Minor product upgrades are fine and, to me, should not require some PR jazzed up announcement and production.
I would love to see companies stop thinking always about growth and capturing the market and radicalize with a different (or let's say modified) economic model that really includes sustainability. And, it's not just "donate x amount to help us carbon offset" or "we'll plant x trees if you buy y", or other useless capitalistic idea of energy offsetting. Rather, something better INCLUDING reducing the level of consumption.
Well....who am I kidding though. LOL. Sigh.
They did mention new one is 2000 peak nits outdoors now on 16. seems like it might share the same as the pro models now, and its likely to be the same as the pixel too. the nits dont make the display though, thats controlled just as much through software. same display can have 3000 peak on one phone and limited to 2000 on another.

Agree. And unfortunately it is becoming a trend :-/
And isn’t just the lack of exciting new product. The format of the presentation itself is more boring as it transitioned from an actual in-person live event to what is basically a succession of pre-recorded marketing videos.
How many times does it need to be mentioned that Apple (and all manufacturers for that matter) are not trying to get you to upgrade every year? These phones are aimed at people with iPhone 14 or older, and it's been that way for the past few cycles because that's how consumers are buying phones nowadays.
