Why wouldn’t they? It’s great that you don’t need a new iPhone this year, but that not especially relevant to the 200 million customers who do. They’re the ones Apple will sell to this year.
Some will buy one of the new models, some will buy an SE, some will buy an older model to save some bucks.
My 6s needs replacing, while some people buy every year. Some customers are on a two, three or four year cycle 🤷♂️
Then you’ve got people dumping Android, those who lose theirs or break it beyond repair, kids getting their first phone and of course businesses buy a fair chunk.
If everyone wanted what you want—what is it, 120 Hz? Smaller notch? No notch? USB-C? 1TB storage?—then Apple would sell zero phones this year. But they don’t.
If none of Apple’s phones interests you this year, you can wait, or buy an Android that you want instead. But that doesn’t really impact Apple’s yearly release cycle.
It's not likely that they will release MicroLED that early if ever. Reason cost and marginal benefit. The single biggest advantage that it brings to the table is longevity which does not matter for a phones. TVs sure, also going to be way cheaper to produce compare to tv with orders of magnitudes of lower pixel density and thus costs.
may the time under the IBM Snr Engineer, it was leading innovation for antennae design n use. For most users nobody realized any issues for a few months after release - close to 6mths! I’d wager it was a software update that cause the issue. Wasn’t so bad either the 4S too.
this is what happens when you launch bleeding edge technology and hence most likely why Apple returned to their roots with slowly releasing innovations in their products until they’re Nearing cost effectiveness and early maturity.
I've been following MacRumors for three years. I'm fine with and will read news on any future models and technologies and my next phone will be the 12 mini. That's what the site is about. It's the nature of consumer electronics.
While I would appreciate LTPO, if I can’t have it now I would rather have plain 120 Hz.
Pretty much this. I dont think people actually understands how technology is developed and works.
The iPhone 12 Pro will have a SoC as fast as your Dual Core MBP in 2015, a Display that has better colour accuracy and contrast ratio than 95% of computing devices on planet earth, Wireless Technology that is on the leading edge of research and development. A Camera that beats nearly all non DSLR camera 10 years ago in your pocket....etc...
The iPhone went from taking all the best technology in other computing / digital equipment and fit into a pocket devices, to now itself being the best technology and leading edge. All in the space of 10 years.
Apart from Touch ID, Bigger Battery, Pro Motion Display, and possibly even better Camera. I dont even know what to look forward to from an iPhone. And you may now understand why Apple is pushing the Services Revenue.
same here. Last I upgraded was my X then swapped quickly to the 8 I’m using. 2 repairs. The 12 Mini or whatever it’s called will be my next iPhone.
well it’s gotten so bad that Microsoft’s Surface Go laptop pretty much looks like a modern iBook (white) from 14yrs ago! And that price is significantly cheaper and appealing for what it offers.
sad to say that Apple executives need a fresh hungry blood replacement and FAST if this is going to continue. Srouji can stay - he’s the chip fan equivalent of early 20yrs Jony Ive. And continues to show his mettle and earns his pay and accolades fully!!
Joswiak - barely done crap all for so long. Go!
Cue - he’s earned his staple and works his ass off with more responsibilities in so many areas more than anyone EVER has at Apple in its history. He seems worn down and not so interested as much. He’s loyal and has a moral compass as seen with internal email of the iBook store debacle before it became an issue - pricing and exclusivity. He was on point yet idea was voted no. he can stay yet maybe groom a hungry yet sound replacement.
Riccio - man what’s he doing? He must be doing something as you always see him in front rows of the last 8 wwdc’s (except of course 2020). Others are rising up through the ranks: notably he didn’t introduce the 2016 MBP, iPAd Pro models (except the initial 12.9”) and no Mac Pro either. So what’s he doing at Apple?!
that’s just a few. Prior to jobs leaving for years you’d see ALL top executives involved in product announcements and initial release info.
The same rumor mill continues.
“*insert feature* will be available at next launch.”
MacRumors reporting for 12 months how it will definitely happen because *insert leaker* said so.
Month of release “actually, *insert feature* will be available next year instead.”
Rinse repeat😁

Yep. I'm not buying an iPhone or most Androids until they knock off cutting into the screen.
Name one valid reason to get the iPhone 12 over the iPhone 11? You can't because its a terrible update, worse than an S upgrade. Anyone who needs a new iPhone is much better off getting an 11 and paying half the price of what the 12 will cost.
dunno 'bout you, but I'm more interested in iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 specifically. Any rumours on that?
120Hz displays... Sounds like Qualcomm Snapdragon 775G -

Snapdragon 875 will likely be followed by Snapdragon 775G, a 6nm flagship-rivaling chip
The new midtier chip will reduce the performance gap between high-end and midrange Android phones.

Time to put both an underscreen Touch ID and Face ID on the iPhone Hopefully by September 2021 we won’t need masks but it may be a way of life going forward
It’s also useful when your phone is laying on the desk so you don’t have to pick it up.
Tim an underscreen Touch ID would be great. Enough said

It's opinion has alot of weight in the tech worldMKBHD is just a YouTuber that does reviews not a tech expert
Not like the non pros will get 120hz next year either
probably true, even if the majority of people will see not real benefit—this is exactly the reason people who buy iPhones get called “sheep” though. One feature out of 10 other phones get, lower base storage, etc but they’ll fly off the shelves. Personally I think the small phone is going to be the REAL story though, I know I want one.
You do realize that the 11 Pro Max has a MUCH lower ppi than the S/Notes, right? They’re in the mid 500 per inch. The highest iPhone is roughly 100 ppi lower, so the resolution is already significantly lower. Also unless Apple does some MAJOR innovation that 120Hz is going to pull a lot of power regardless. The biggest innovation for battery life in the 11 series? A larger battery.
This isn’t Samsung. You are not going to find last year’s iPhone at ½ the price of this year’s model.
