My Stimulus check is ready!
I love how a fix to a problem they created (fingerprints on the sides) is now a "feature".
Oh, Apple, we love you!
Oh, Apple, we love you!
It’s going to be quite the upgrade going from my launch jet black 7 to the matte black 13 pro. So excited!
The iPhone 13 will be a definite upgrade from my 11 Pro…
…just, why 13? Why not skip 13 right to 14 or just drop the numbers altogether before we hit iPhone 20. 13 makes me nervous after 2020 (totally not superstitious
).
Why poke the bear, Apple? Why???!?!? lol

Sounds like spinning a few made up rumors for views.
That make total sense, every year, people clamor for "the new device" and then endless amounts of people hate on it....and then repeat next year. I think there is only so much these devices. I think all of the ground breaking stuff happened in the first number of years of smartphones. Now, I think it will be perennial tweaks to features and functionality...until there is once again, some crazy new iteration.
How are they going to lift the prints off an iPhone then?
I would have to take the check and see what color I got. I ordered the color that had the shortest lead-time because it goes in a case and then on a belt clip
this matte black looks really great - would merit a buy even without new features
Make iPhone a tiny bit thicker and the protruding camera module will end up being flush. Then put in a slightly bigger battery to improve battery life. Problems solved.
Brushed finish. Elegant and no scratches or prints. Would that be so hard??
Wrong, Portrait mode on the iPhone 12 Pro already uses Lidar to enhance the effect. Do these people not even pay attention to current devices?
It’ll be a travesty if/when they get rid of the Pacific Blue…it’s by far the most beautiful color Apple has ever produced.
I wonder when Apple will publish the actual thickness of the iPhone 12. They claim it is 7.4 mm thick. However, if you were to design something based on this measurement, your thickness would be off by almost 2mm because Apple conveniently ignores the camera bump...like it doesn't even exist. The actual thickness of the iPhone 12 is closer to 10mm. Luckily they're not designing spacecraft! Boom! lol
Just my $0.02, but I think Under Glass TouchID will be the ONE & ONLY reason most buy, OR consider buying, the upcoming 12s/13 !
Apple clearly likes to try to load-up iPhones with Bells & Whistles as selling points, but it would NOT be smart of them to ignore the fact that the pivot from TouchID to FaceID pissed-off many.
The upcoming 12s/13 iPhones offer a convenience factor that, I believe, many will take notice of once they get wind of it.
Apple would be smart to aggressively promote it.
And, I stand by my earlier statements of a day OR two ago, that Tim Cook's AAPL sucks at Product Planning & Definition !
I miss the Steve Jobs AAPL !
I personally believe the Weak Link @ Apple is its Top Mgmt (Cook, Schiller, etc).
Would love to see MR put a poll together that gets Users to help list the top "Engineering Accomplishments" that have occurred in the Apple ecosystem under Cook's reign as CEO.
And here I mean both first-party & third-party.
I'll start, & even project out into the future alittle, I believe Under Glass TouchID will be perceived as the single-greatest Engineering Accomplishment under Cook !
From a User's perspective, most don't care if Apple internally developed it, OR if they just incorporated it into their products.
As such, Apple will get credit for it from most Users.
And that's ok.
It will be perceived as the single-most-important "Benefit" added into an iPhone in years !
In other words, it will very-likely be "The Catalyst" for iPhone Unit Sales later this year.

Ultra wide is said to be getting a big upgrade this year. We won’t see massive zoom until 2022-2023 from the sounds thats when we will see a periscope lens. Zoom is lacking and sadly got to wait a while for this one.
It will likely be the called the 12s and the 2022 model to be the iphone 14The iPhone 13 will be a definite upgrade from my 11 Pro…

I once remember hating my iPhone 4 once the 5 came out 😝...how dare Apple innovate every year
That image stabilization function that automatically focuses on the subject during video recording alone is worth the upgrade.
Have you not seen the Pixel 5s Astro mode?
