With how the market is working (less customers are upgrading every year), this is the most affordable, but stable way forward for iPhone.
Why do none of your write-ups or even your iPhone 14 Roundup discuss whether or not it will include USB-C charging or continue using the Lightning port? The inclusion of USB-C or not is a big decision point for many people on whether or not they'll be upgrading to the iPhone 14.
I believe the commonly held belief is that USB-C will be coming with the iPhone 15.
Right, but your average consumer looking for this information shouldn't have to go searching for analyst reports to discover this information. Macrumors should be making a point to highlight this fact in their articles and Round-ups.
I doubt the average consumer even knows Mac Rumours exists.
Agree on the “lesser” ecosystem. I mean take the router, it is practically the main hub of everything as it controlled all the devices’ internet access, and Apple pulled out of that market. You cannot claim all your devices work together well when you’re relying on a random router, which mostly are old modem/routers provided by people’s ISP. I bet majority of people are still on 802.11b/g or 2.4GHz n at home. AC is still uncommon, let alone wifi6.
Same.. probably an age thing, and realizing that life satisfaction does not revolve around hedonism. Maturity probably. I do miss looking forward to the next gadget release. Not been excited about the phone since the 7, and not in the watch since the 3 or so. Now that the intiel iMac is at the end, nothing to look forward to there either unless Windows goes all in on ARM so I can still run the apps I need to.
Time to upgrade my 12 mini for the 13 mini! I’ll get a better camera and longer battery life which is all I really want anyhow… I’ll go larger (if forced to by virtue of something compelling) in 2 years, but in the meantime, I’m going to love my lil’ phone.
I am of the same vintage and mind. Drank the koolaid in 1984, lived and worked in Silicon Valley for 30 years, last CA address was a bike ride from Apple HQ. I used to mark the reveals on my calendar and “watch” it live — and before streaming when just the reporters were tap tap tapping out on their keyboards what was unfolding in the private press-only events. Now I can completely forget it is happening and barely watch any of the recorded Keynote and just read the reviews. Nothing new has been announced for years. Like you, I streamed my paycheck to Apple for years, outfitting children with iPods, iPads, iPhones and the occasional computer. Personally, I like small devices—I have a 12 mini, iPad mini, 13” M1 MBP, and a 41 series 6 watch. My favorite rumored product is a 12” MB(P). But, I still ptobably won’t watch the Keynote.
Personally I use it for navigation, web searches/translations, train tickets, music, messaging and calls. No games, no videos, no social media, no camera.
And SE is too small for me. I think I could do a Mini if I had to. I read the text is the same with just less visible lines on the screen.
And iOS literally has Block Unknown Senders. The greatest feature they ever added.
Dress pants pockets are huge, but I actually see if the iPhone fits well before I buy jeans
Sorry I just saw this!
I use it for social media, YouTube, and all the usual common apps pretty much! I don’t take a TON of pictures, but when I do, I’m plenty satisfied with the quality as well. I just love the smaller size and how it fits in my hand. I came from the first iPhone SE, which I really loved for it’s size! But really don’t want to go any bigger than the 12/13 mini
Apple really has taken "Pro" out of Pro. It's only their ad word for "slightly better specs for those with too much money". Nothing to do with actual PRO, for any meaning of the word.
