i guess i will be upgrading my xs this year. nothing amazing, but it's about time i did.
Me too. Just have to buy new pants with extra big pockets so there's enough space for the cameras that are now twice as thick as the phone.

Why does the pro only get the same space grey/graphite and all the other phones get the new midnight black color ?
They said "deeper graphite" I wanna know how DEEP
I was hoping iPhone 7 Jet Black, sure doesnt look like that.
Pac Blue I have, this Sierra is nice, but I call it "baby blue," not for me.

I'm torn though right now. I said in previous post, if I get a darn good trade in for this 256gb 12 PM (with a terrible battery), I may consider the 13 PM (For the love of God - talking to myself...just get ONE Phone case!!! 😂 I went a bit nuts with 12 PM cases - eyeroll).
 
So am I reading this right, for just $50 more, you can get the iphone 13 over the 12 with the same memory?
 
Most minimally upgraded iPhone in history.

New CPU
Better camera
Faster screen refresh
Longer battery life
Increased storage
Until Samsung (or others) can produce foldable screens at the massive quantities needed for an iPhone launch, there isn't much more to add.
 
Probably wasn't a huge seller considering not many men are going to spend $1000 on a phone of that color.
Apple has been on a cycle of offering colors that are available for the year of that version's release for the past 2-3 cycles, iirc.
 
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or just drank too much of the apple Kool aid.

ProMotion in an iPhone.... huge leap on its own! incredible new iPhones with cinematic-mode video record, best-ever cameras with DSLR quality still photography, the fastest processors in any smartphone..... EVER! It even has a smaller notch for a more immersive experience without compromising on the industry-leading FaceID security.
 
The small sensor will take ages to be on par with this. Nikon Z6ii 70-200 2.8S Nikkor Z.
Sure the price is about 4-5x the cost of the phone without on board storage, but the phone has a long way to go.

Nice! I'm still going very strong with a Sony A7iii and a few nice lenses.
But I get it though, 'The best camera is the camera you have on you.' But if you're serious about doing photograpy or video, you'll have so much more fun with a real camera than one attached to a phone.

btw, Slinky strings ftw ^^
 
Nothing that comes remotely close to 'Wow'. Point increments across the board.
It's not a point upgrade to others who have iPhones that are 5-6 models ago. So strange how people think owners of newer iPhones are the target market. Very bizarre thinking.
 
They always show „Pro“ use cases for their Pro lineup. If you do just TikTok and YouTube you can stay with the regular lineup. They are lighter, too!


Disagree....people make tons of money from those platforms and the more advanced phones can allow them to actually get rid of traditional equipment like a mirrorless camera. Someone might be shooting their Youtube channel with a mirrorless camera but maybe the iPhone Pro gets advanced enough were you can just go with that. Thats the bread and butter for Pro use for an Iphone in video.....not silly situations where someone shoots their indie film on an iPhone to get publicity.

Also note the iPhone for photos can be used in some valid professional workflows because of how the iPhone intergrates with really high end flash systems. Petapixel has an article showing this recently for an eCommerce studio scenario where speed is everything and the quality on the iPhone photos are good enough in web use.

 
I’m glad they put in iPad, reduces the number of events needed this year I think. Still cringy to start with that classic iPad but I liked the event as much as last years. Never really looking to buy it right away anyway.
