I haven't kept up the last couple years, but has the PM always started at 2x storage of the Pro? Seems like if you prefer the bigger screen you get a bit more bang for your buck.
OK, so there are a few incremental upgrades including a faster camera in Apple's new $1,000 phone. That pretty much summarizes the entire presentation.
Nothing revolutionary or ground-breaking.

In a way, I think it's a good thing that the upgrades are minor.
We don't need to keep having major product revisions every year.
With the power of the A18 chip you'd think they would introduce some multitasking features that iPad OS has. At minimum I just want the ability to have apps like Spotify, YouTube, streaming services and other apps download stuff in the background for offline use without having to be in focus.
Since 2016 Androids had multi window split screen mode, surely this can be implemented in iOS.

I guess next year the iPhone 17PM will have a 7inch screen and "the thinnest bezels ever"?
tbh, the past three have felt like stop gap years....
I have to commend Apple - I am not tempted to spend money in any way!
Am I right in saying that there is absolutely no difference this year between the 16 Pro and Pro Max other than size?
This was definitely very underwhelming and the stock market seems to agree. To me: really no new health features in Apple watch, plus no Ultra 3. So is there a reason to go from an Ultra 2 to a 10? Not really.
The phone: no 2TB option (at least that I saw) on the Pros, and not a ton of "gotta have" features. I will probably trade the 16 Pro Max anyway to get the new battery and the better power efficiency (if true), but nothing huge.

It is very carefully chosen and choreographed. Every person of each continent is involved. The only distraction were those micro jumps from Timmy. It looked like he had to 💩 very badly 😅
I dunno, the 15PM was a decent enough jump in a few ways I appreciated... but yeah, not groundbreaking. iPhones are mature now... there's not much to change.
I think this is the first year it has started at 256GB.... but I think this is also the first year that the Pro and Pro Max have exactly the same features. It seems ever year previously there has been a couple/few features exclusive to the Pro Max. I could be wrong though (wouldn't be the first nor the last).
13 PM user here, another year and noting exciting or compelling me to upgrade. I imagine many are feeling this too. Apple is failing to read the room. I don’t want any of what they offer at present it’s not a materially better experience it’s a bunch of stuff I won’t use. Maybe they should ship a founders edition phone with cutting edge tech and let the pro phone mean pro photo and video
I think folding phones and tablets are a gimmick and ultimately wear out the screen, just more risk for problems or it breaking and needing repair or replacement.. not very "green" as Apple is trying to be. But who knows...
Charging I'm not sure but maybe it's coming and something pretty minor / low use case in general.. (although maybe it's really useful to you) I think Apple probably sees smaller device batteries as something you want to charge, not charge from.. in contrast to say the iPad.
Under screen Face ID, I'll grant you that.. That does seem kind of needed at this point.
