I agree - when you don't take the time to read the manual, you likely never figure out what all of the options are!
Probably my most important request for the iPhone camera hardware (image processing is another pet peeve of mine). It's time the Pro (or at least the Max) gets 4 cameras:
Ultrawide,
Main (with crops up to 35mm like 15 Pro),
Portrait (50mm base with 75mm crop mode),
Ultra telephoto (120mm+ or the rumored 300mm) and it's just for when you really want to capture something far away
and all of them should be 48MP so the crops have plenty of data to work with.
Great. I take back all the good things I said about the 13 mini. Battery life is horrible. Chip can’t even handle a video recording. 16 pro in my future life and I can’t wait.
Nice, now please do one for my iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 16 Pro. Im not sure yet if it will have features enough to update…
For the first time since the original iPhone launched, im not enticed at all to upgrade from the 14 pro to whatever comes out next.
I know I’m in the minority when I say this, but I’m waiting for the fold. If Apple decided to never release one, once this 13 pro is unusable, I’ll figure out what’s next then.

50+ upgrades... Id rather just stick with what Ive got 🤔
One monolith for another..... and there's nothing wrong with that. But at this point it's a washing machine, and I don't buy those again until its stopped working/or on its last legs.

Maybe „plenty of iPhone 14 Pro owners will be looking to upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro“ is true.
Personally I upgraded from the 11pro zo the 15pro, which is a nice device. But in the end an iP15 would have done the job. I din‘t see this massive camera improvements, but the lenses are huge and bulky, So maybe I „downgrade“ next time?

My 12mini could handle video recording just fine. What happened to your 13mini?
The battery life on the mini was a disappointment compared to the full size phones, though it was still better than the iPhone 8 I came from. The mini battery mainly suffered in comparison to the other new phones of that model. Size does matter in batteries.
None of them. They are way too big, huge, heavy, and overpriced.
Still using my iPhone 5. Perfectly light and portable.

Yeah. I'm on a 13 PM and 3 years is the absolute minimum amount of time before I'd consider upgrading. More than likely it will be 4 or 5 years so an iPhone 17 or 18 unless there's a compelling feature they come up with.
Think I’ll keep my 14pro for a few more years
Come on ... there definitely were more boring iPhone updates in the past than this one, especially if the new AI turns out to be true.
With many users adopting two-year upgrade cycles, plenty of iPhone 14 Pro owners will be looking to upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro later this year
I'm still enjoying my iPhone 6S. No slow down in performance, battery good, physically as new, nice display with 3D touch, convenient and practical home button and bezel, and a good sized phone.

The tech improvements look awesome and I'm happy about the larger display. However, I would like to see a Apple go back to a flip-style mute switch again. That's actually one reason why I bought a 14PM when the 15PM came out.
Hopefully next years upgrades to expect will feature a punch hole design.
Apple already has one. You pay monthly for a new iPhone (interest free) and get a new iPhone each year. The price you pay is based on a 2 year purchase, so it’s actually cheaper than buying a new iPhone when you factor inflation into the mix. As long as you know you’ll have a guaranteed income, it’s a great option.
I’m upgrading from the 12 Pro Max. I
wanted to upgrade last year but there was no significant boost in battery life from the previous models. I also heard about the size increase so I didn’t wanna miss out on that either. Never kept on to my phone this long before.

I'm in the same boat as you. Honestly, I wouldn't even be looking to upgrade my 14 Pro if it weren't for a cracked lower right corner of the screen. While it was in a case, and that case was in another case on my bike, it was not enough to prevent some damage from a bicycle accident last year. It did better than me though.
I'm fine but it took some stitches and a few weeks of road rash healing. We both have scars now. LOL
I might pull the trigger on this. Really depends on trade in values for 14 pro max. I’m happy with my 14PM but the USBC is a big selling point for me
I have also moved to a 3 year upgrade cycle. While I will likely upgrade to the 16 Pro, I am very hesitant due to the Dynamic Island.
