IMHO that hope died when Apple split off iPadOS from iOS. Most of the desktop-like functionality is now exclusive to iPadOS.
Got a tip for us?

Ready for a smaller phone with equal camera to Max. I don't have small hands, but my damn pinky needs a break. So still DI though, no?
They always offer garbage for trade ins. Better to sell on your own
What do you do with all that memory? I don’t find much use for local storage anymore now that everything is cloud basedI'd love to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1 TB but I know the price will be in nosebleed territory.💸
IMHO 6x zoom is too little. I use a Samsung S22U and 1. its zoom is variable: you can use 7x, 8x... 10x... and 2. the image quality in daylight conditions is OK with 10x zoom, but in other situations it's a horrible quality, the difference for an example from the fixed 3x lens is noticeable. I don't know if Samsung fixed this on the S23U, and I hope Apple does a better implementation of this feature.
If you compare a picture taken with the S22U at 10x and an image made with my Canon SX240HS (smaller sensor, and 2012 tech), the difference is huge (in Canon's favour...)

I feel like we are entering crossroads with the iPhone. It’s becoming harder to justify the upgrades even every few years; especially in mature markets such as North America. Certainly India will be an opportunity for Apple to find new growth.
Yes, that is what optical zoo. Is, variable focal length by arranging the lenses..
The “zoom” on the current iPhone models is achieved digitally…
There have been rumors that the periscope lens can do true optical but to the best of my knowledge only the Sony Experia (??) has true optical zoom
Despite the slowing smartphone sales growth in the US, sounds like Apple can get away with the price increase with carriers gearing up to front some of the cost. That way, the consumer doesn't see any front-end changes to the price and Apple still gets to grow its enormous coffers even further.
Here is my iphone actual use and storage, mostly documents and such. Photos much smaller amount than yours @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️
I have more of a problem with total photos I save on my 200 GB iCloud storage plan. But fine on iPhone @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️
is 15 pro Red still just a rumor or a fact at this point?
I've got almost 150GB of music alone (I don't stream). Combine that with photos, 60fps video, apps, and it fills up quickly. It's not a waste to have things on your phone available for you to use without the need of an internet connection. You may not have a need for a TB of storage, or two, but there are people that use their phones differently than you. Think Different.
With that much space you should really turn on “download and keep originals“ for your photos in iCloud settings! You can fit your whole library on your phone instead of just the low resolution previews.
Well I like to have them handy on my ipad or macbook also even though 80 percent were taken by iPhone over years. I never planned it that way. I prefer to see the full image most of time on ipad 12.9 screen or my 15 and 16 inch MacBook screens but yes I supposed I can In fact I have that set on iphone so those are optimized photos download when I need to see one. I have my ipad set to download all the photos though
Ipad first:
Here is iphone
20% battery reduction in the first 2 years = free battery replacement, so what’s your gripe?
You really think a slightly curved edge and new materials that are covered by a case are going to matter? Much more powerful SoC that is overpowered for the apps it runs. Again, there is almost zero reason to upgrade from a 14 pro max. This is a much more incremental upgrade than 13 to 14 was. I'd be buying up to get USB-C and a chunkier device.

Dream on, but the regular iPhone Pro 16 is rumored to have one… 😉
You know you want some of that 15 Pro (just can’t justify having to buy again), so anything to make you feel better 😂
Just a rumor, perhaps a dying rumor. It looks more like blue will be the special color of the year.
I'm considering going the other way, only for the better battery life and camera. Who knows if the size will make me avoid the Max.
My devices are upgraded regularly across the board. I rather buy new golf gear than get the same phone. I feel just fine lol.
