They are really holding off 48 MP on all cameras and 1” sensor on the main. They know after that point there’ll be nothing they can give customers next year and then it’s game over. Screens are already perfect. FaceID is imperfect but they won’t bring TouchID back. They are even downgrading battery on the Plus model now just so they can upgrade it again next year.
iPhone sales will plummet in a few years. Market is too mature.
Apple milking yet another year of a dual camera system on a £800-£1200 iPhone. Let that sink in a minute.
Moving the camera back to a vertical orientation after a 3 year break and not introducing a triple system is quite frankly absurd when you see what others are providing in this price bracket.
I know they have to feature strip it to some degree to justify the Pro models but come on, it’s time to give a bit more for the money that they are charging now.

Same here with 11pro. All the new features look so marginal. I’ll better care about the environment and keep my phone one more year!
Spatial Video (excuse my previous spelling error) only came out on the 15 Pro this year.
Probably happen with that base USB-C Pencil. Or you can buy one 0f the many 3rd party pencils which already work.
Well interesting article I have a regular 14 myself and have no plans to upgrade to the 16 I’m more interested in what will go down with the iPhone 17 instead!
I’m using iPhone 13 mini and honestly have no plans to upgrade anytime soon. My partner might upgrade from the 11, but still not sure as it works perfectly. The only thing that would be nice is to have the USB-C port to streamline charging with all other devices we have at home. But paying for a new phone just for a port, nah thanks. And no, the cameras are not the deciding factor in our household since we use standalone professional cameras.
I see the appeal for a laptop, not for a phone. Maybe if it was the WHOLE casing.
I’m on a 12Pro was hoping 16pro would have an even better Tele lens and no notch… but dont think I can wait until 17. Every 4 years for me is a good upgrade cycle for me, by then battery will be tired and trade in value is not completely gone.
What about an iPhone 16 mini? I have an iPhone 13 mini and would like to upgrade, but I'm willing to wait if a new mini with better specifications isn't coming out. I want a phone I can operate with one hand and that doesn't take up too much space.
In the same boat as you. I am holding out hope that we will receive something less than 6.1" phone, but I am afraid the smallest we are going to get from now on is 6.1" It's absolutely ridiculous.
They should bring the updated iPhone SE ( Single camera iPhone 14 with A18 ) next year at $499.
And bring back the iPhone SE Mini in spring 2026 for $399.
Why would you want it to start at a higher price? So many people with iPhones don't even use 128 GB and if they do it is cheaper to pay for iCloud. I prefer $999 so I could buy it on day 1 and sell it back by July or August for around $850-999 before the new iPhone launch.
