I wonder if we ever get to see a Ceramic Edition iPhone.
Price hikes confirmed.
You gotta give people a reason to be okay with spending an extra $100.

Ugh... the monthly payment of these phones exceed the TOTAL PRICE of any given phone I purchased in the couple of decades. That's a threshold I knew we'd cross, but I still had to see it to believe it
This is a good change. Why was the glass different in the first place?
Most consumers just count the number of lenses to determine if it's a Pro or not.
Having frosted glass / clear camera plateau and vice versa on the other just confused the lineup.

This is one of those "if you put a case on it it doesn't matter" things and that's how I feel about it.
At this point being the new iPhone is all it takes to up the price.
I hate the frosted glass on the pro series. It is so unbelievably slippery I wouldn't dare use it without a case. The glossy surface of the regular and the X/S is nice and grippy and dare I say looks even more premium imo, even with the fingerprints, and I felt comfortable using it without a case at least around the house and I really miss that.
The curved + frosted of the 11 pro made for the most impossible phone to hold apples ever done. The flat sides of the 12 series improved things, and the regular 12 is incredible to hold, but the pro frosted glass still holds it back.

Yes exactly!
I love the shiny rear glass, but with the brushed sides. It makes it look premium and a lot easier to grip. Also, bring back the black for the white iPhones.
These were drawn by the historic Design team, with Ive, people who no longer work at Apple.
I have never owned a frosted Pro iPhone I just realized. I would trade the zoom lens for wide angle though. Miss my XS.
It was a rumor from 15 years ago, the iPhone Ceramic Edition. Obviously we had the stove in the back, 6.7” screens and fancy dynamic islands but nothing vaguely like it.

I want the iPhone Pro (or Ultra?) to have an all-titanium frame and then have a ceramic circle where they can have the magsafe charger and any additional antennas. I want it to be rugged like the Apple Watch Ultra with a titanium lip around the display, stronger/thicker glass, and I want an action button that I can customize with system-wide actions and per-app actions and I want it to be haptic with three pressure levels to perform different actions along with double click and triple click actions. Since it won't need a case they could even make it a little thicker with longer battery life. Add a 2-8x periscope lens and an mLED display, a titanium lip around the camera lenses, and Apple Pencil support for when you need to just jot down some notes or make a little drawing like a Moleskine notepad and then add split screen multitasking in iOS and it's functionally perfect IMO.
fair prices in the EU and good colors to choose from and I'm in.
Adding extra slippery material to the regular iPhone? Tim is surely rubbing his hands and cackling in glee at the thought of all the protective cases Apple will sell now.
A while back somebody posted a fake rendering where the back was like the cheese-grater front of a Mac Pro. It looked bad-a**.
I’m glad I won’t be buying the iPhone 15, because being even bigger (6.2”) and having a slippery frosted rear glass, that phone will basically be a soap bar waiting to crash on the floor.
Hopefully the iPhone 14 will lower its price and I will adapt to that 6.1” size.
The iPhone 14 is my last chance of having a modern iPhone.

I like the frosted glass, but then again, the edge of the Pro models is stainless steel and it’s much grippier than aluminum. I’d imagine frosted glass back + aluminum edges would make the standard models much more slippery.
