Gurman: Apple Considering New High-End iPhone Alongside Pro and Pro Max

Apple doesn’t have vision anymore. They just see foldables and want to have one in case anyone wants one. It will be niche for them just like it’s niche for samsung. Apple lacks the vision to say no to products like that.
What would be a neat addition is if the rear shell had an e-ink sort of display and the colour could be changed via the OS, this was there would be no additional colour SKU’s and just the ones for display size and storage starting at 256/512/1TB.
Having more SKU’s for colour complicate inventory and demand and having an e-ink rear display only for colour or personalization would be very unique, consider the entire rear shell display changes colour for certain types of incoming iMessages, emails, FaceTime, calendar notifications or reminders, notes, etc. E-ink would also take up minimal battery if adjusted to change the colour once in awhile vice being dynamic similar to AOD.
yup.
Apple is MacOS. It is what saved Apple. All they had to do was keep making affordable consumer devices and pro devices that kept them in line with the PC industry. it was a simple grid. iMac, iBook ... powerbook, powermac. Now they are all over the frigging place. no one even understands what they are buying anymore. MacOS is slowly being molded into working with proprietary frameworks and having no clear advantage over windows and other platforms again. Developers are going to stop wasting their time on a platform that has no hardware support for common standards.
The initial FOMO crowd will jump on this but once the high wears off the justification begins, it’s like the AW Edition in Gold etc. This is tech it will be obsolete the following year in some manner. Unless someone plans to keep this device for 4-5 years and looking to replace or have an iPhone/iPad device I can see the point otherwise it’s a risky gamble for the mass market.
The tech will be obsolete in the same timeframe as the rest of the lineup.
With AppleSilicon even a budget M1/M2 is a capable machine unless you want the additional bells and whistles of ProMotion, brighter display, miniLED, 6 speakers, extra ports, higher memory bandwidth and faster SSD for everyday use it’s illogical.
I use my iPad Pro more than my MacBook Air and remote login for anything macOS specific. In my situation it’s internet and network connection that is key.
It’s actually
iPhone Mini
iPhone Pro
iPhone Ultra
Both sizes of iPhone pro are the same phone. Different sizes only.
You must be a shareholder for Apple. This is the only justification I can make for your comments, as it isn’t healthy to be this defensive / cultish / fanboy-ish over a COMPANY that is run by people who frankly couldn’t give 2 f*cks about what you think of it.
How anyone can sit there and be HAPPY that a company is raising its average price per unit yearly is beyond me. It is anti consumer, pro shareholder.
So again I’ll say it again, you must be a shareholder, otherwise you need to give your head a wobble if you are happy to hand over more money to a company producing increasingly more buggy software / products.
No, I use an IPHONE 7 + which although no longer made is still useful, therefore not obsolete

Can I place an order for 2 of these bad boys, please? Take my money! RIGHT NOW!!! 😖😖
This has been reported or rumored for what, 6-12 months? I'm not sure how everything I read is people acting like it's news?
If anyone from Apple is reading this for whatever reason, as someone who always gets the new Pro Max every year-just dont make it portless. Myself and many others don't use and dont want to use magnetic charging. Not to mention, we dont own cars with wireless CarPlay either. I'd rather the damn thing be $1500+ than portless.

I think the Pro model will be different than
Ultra. Ultra has a lot more to offer so it can differentiate from the iPhone Pro lineup. iPhone Pro has to offer the best of the best. Think of this concept.
Apple Watch Series 8 - iPhone Pro Pro Max
Apple Watch Ultra - iPhone 15 Ultra
Why? I can’t imagine any practical need for it. I don’t know why they think consumers would pay an ultra high premium for a phone when the so many in the US use monthly device payment plans through their carriers or through Apple. Then again there are people who pay upwards of $15K for solid gold or diamond encrusted phones so maybe there’s a market?
Assuming ProMotion, which would be a given for this device, I’d trade my iPad Mini 6 for this 7” Phone.
