I have a 14 Pro, so will probably skip the 15.
I am at a 2 year cycle to renew my iPhone for some years now (IIRC since the iPhone 7 days). I wonder if most do the same?
I used to do every 2 years but I'm still rocking an 8, little bumps in camera and processor aren't enough for me to upgrade 1 or 2 years anymore but it's been awhile and I've been saving so I'm definitely upgrading this year.
 
Back glass on my 12 Pro is cracked. So I guess depends on if either T-Mobile or Verizon (maybe switch) accepts that for a full trade in amount if I’m going to upgrade this year.

"Some people are saying, the EU might get the USB-C and the USA, etc still have Lighting. The world shouldn't revolve EU why should it? BUT waste is a big problem producing for those that made it their laws. Apple has to build to its regulations."

As I said above. Pretty much you restated that as well. My point was e-waste is the issue. I hope this EU "forcing the world " to do this would stop "saving the world" Bla Bla. The EU shouldn't tell the world what to do (that's why people don't like EU policies.) They know what is best for the world as the EU barks. This is the year 2023 not 300 years ago.

(if one doesn't read it's no wonder people misunderstand issues)

I think Apple was going USB-C with or without the EU. There have been rumors for a while (before the EU proposal) that they would switch. The timing is convenient, but the EU directive wasn't necessary to drop lightning.

I'd love a portless iPhone, but only if we get 90% wireless charging efficiency.

I still want a port.

I recorded two 8min 4k HDR videos for an event my girlfriend was performing it, and they were pushing 6gb. She needed them copied to her personal PC, doesn't own and iPhone and doesn't own a mac and waiting from them to upload to iCloud to copy them or until I got home with my mac is a giant hassle.

Yeah that’s right, it’s been years that Apple was talking about USB-C. It goes way back when the first lightning cable was released. That’s a really good point. Supposed understand the history of the lightning cable, understand that there was pros and cons with USB-C and thunder bolt or lightning. The problem is Apple should’ve made the transition way back when the iPhone 6 came out because apparently the Lightning cable was not the answer.
 
Apple nailed it when it comes to having a white iPhone with iPhone 14 Pro line up. Probably one of the best!

The titanium curved edges and thin bezels will look very nice. I’m ready for a change!

i know it’s still early to tell, but if the 6.1” iPhone 15 Pro has the big camera bump of the 14 Pro (or even bigger) that will discourage me from getting it.
 
I know there's almost no chance of it happening, but I would be thrilled if they released a new iPhone mini.
If there’s any chance of getting a smaller iPhone, that will be on 2024, because the iPhones are getting bigger and the entire chip line (A17 & A18) will be more power efficient. A 5.6” or 5.8” iPhone would really be a dream made true.
 
Since I am mostly a stay at home, kind of gal, I don’t really need a top-notch Apple cell phone. What I always look forward to is the software for iPadOS. I always want to see if any improvements are made to Siri, and to see what new things I can do in safari and notes. And I’m always looking for new features in messages and photos.
 
Is this an image of the iPhone 14 in Silver or is this a mockup of the 15?
A mockup for the iPhone 15 Pro. Notice the Curved Titanium edges. It is no longer carrying stainless steel. Indeed, it is a welcome change! Say good bye to the micro-scratches.

Understood! But worth the upgrade if it's going to be carrying the Periscope Camera. Impress your family & friends. They will be amazed!

Oh boy Apple's official yappy dog reports the official leaks he's given.

iPhone 15 is update not an upgrade not anything special unless your current old iPhone is showing it's age. With the economy the way it is only diehard Apple Fanboy Cult will be rushing to buy the 15.

Apple's main product lines have peaked and no big new must have features. Only real new product is VisionPro and that is an expensive niche product that hasn't built a developer base outside of Apple to interest the public. I wouldn't want to work in Apple Marketing for the next few years they got a lot on their hands to make incremental updates sound like big upgrades.
The thing is, an iPhone X still gives a very similar iOS experience to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. And the iPhone X still works very well. But that doesn't mean there aren't reasons to want to upgrade. My 13 Pro works perfectly. I just want the bigger display and battery life. I am at a place where I spend a ton of time doing inpatient hospital rounds (and that won't change for a few years) at bedside where I need to access EMR/EHR results etc, so having a little extra screen space would be nice. Necessary, of course not, but a nice QOL difference for sure. I also want the larger battery for better battery life. And of course, I am looking forward to AoD, Dynamic Island, USB-C, a titanium construction, and the supposed camera upgrades. I think coming from my 13 Pro, for my wants, the 15 Pro Max will be a really nice upgrade.
 
Sadly, the periscope camera is only coming in the pro max. And that phone doesn’t fit on my pocket lol (not a fan of big phones).

BTW: nice renders.
It’s likely but we don’t know that for sure.

All the leakers have been getting things wrong in the last couple of years - even Kuo has got caught a couple of times and he was flawless! They’ve also released some last minute surprises no leaker got including the Dynamic Island last year.
