For example 8k could be implemented. Samsung's S23 Ultra has decent 8k - MUCH better than that of the s21/s22. I really hope Apple also adds 8k.Dare we say that the annual iPhone product revisions have nearly hit their limits to what can be incorporated? What can they offer that is that desirable to a recent iPhone owner?

Sounds like a compelling upgrade to me.
Kinda agree.
Notch on iPhone X and later was incredibly beautiful, it had such an elegant form, especially before iPhone 13. But this pill just doesn't look pleasing, especially when using light mode.
Yes, bring back the curve! I hate the flat sides of the 12/13/14 series. I'm getting a bit bored of my 11 but I'll stick with it until the curves come back or I'm literally forced to change.I hope they will have an "ultra" option, I saw a concept (below) way back and loved the idea. Either I will get the 15 "ultra"/Promax or the 14 Promax, but there will be an upgrade.
I don’t even want to think about what the price tag on an ultra model would be, but man do I love that render. Every time I see it, it makes me say “wow!” That thing is gorgeous!I hope they will have an "ultra" option, I saw a concept (below) way back and loved the idea. Either I will get the 15 "ultra"/Promax or the 14 Promax, but there will be an upgrade.
I have an affinity towards new and shiny things, so I'll absolutely be upgrading to the new iPhone. 🤪
Them and their BS spin. It will sell out in seconds and Apple will be surprised by the overwhelming demand. Completely unexpected as it’s the same spill every launch. I don’t care about the price as I am upgrading from my old 14 Pro Max.

Apple still hasn't supported 8K HDR Youtube playback, so until it does that is kinda useless.
Something that is only experimental with latest versions of Safari.
I'm undecided. If Apple wants me to upgrade frequently, they'll need to bring back the mini form factor. If they want me to upgrade even more frequently, they'll make a mini pro iPhone. As it stands now, I may stick it out for another year with my 13 mini.
I will be upgrading from a 12 mini to a 13 mini!
Upgrade? Hahahaha nice joke. Why spend 100-200$ more than iphone 14 launch price when you can get the iPhone 14 now for half the price
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today predicted that demand for the iPhone 15 series will be lower than that of the iPhone 14 series this year. Kuo said the lower demand could make it challenging for Apple suppliers to grow revenue in the second half of 2023.
The upcoming iPhone lineup should consist of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. All four models are rumored to be equipped with a USB-C port and the Dynamic Island, which is currently exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models. Additional features are rumored for the iPhone 15 Pro models, including a faster A17 Bionic chip, titanium frame, customizable Action button, thinner bezels around the display, Wi-Fi 6E support, up to 5-6x optical zoom for the Pro Max camera, and more.
iPhone 15 Pro models will likely cost $100 to $200 more than iPhone 14 Pro models in the U.S., according to Tim Long, an analyst at British bank Barclays. These price increases could temper demand for the devices, especially as some consumers may be reducing their discretionary spending due to above-average inflation over the past few years.
In the end, Kuo's prediction is still just a prediction, and we'll have to wait and see how well the iPhone 15 series sells. The addition of a USB-C port has been a long-awaited feature among tech enthusiasts, and the Dynamic Island expanding to the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus could help to boost sales of those lower-end models.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 series in early September. Are you planning to upgrade? Let us know in the comments section.

They are good little phones and the battery life is much improved over the 12.
Because we want the Pro?
I am seriously considering getting the iPhone 15 Plus 512 GB this fall. I like the bigger screen and way longer battery life compared to my iPhone 12.
Tim Apple realized he can still make money by increasing the price exponentially. Eventually it will be 100 iphones sold worldwide for 1,000,000 a piece 🤣
Nope! Holding on to my 12 PM another year. iOS doesn’t really offer anything new that does not already work on the 12 PM. Waste of money
I'm pre-ordering flip 5 and will try it comparing my 13 mini. Apple forces me out of the Apple upgrade due esim only. BTW I love 13 mini and will love more 15 mini pro.
Price hikes & the lack of telescopic lens in the normal Pro, will definitely affect demand IMO, I certainly won't be upgrading, because the Pro will not have a telescopic lens

Just upgraded to 14 Pro last year. Hopefully, with its stainless steel frame and powerful chip, it'll last several years.
Many says it's fixed in iOS 17.
2. Those buttons were cancelled as we know already.
3. RED color is also not confirmed. We have blue.
So other than that, It's very marginal upgrade.

Apple is thinking that customers have yet to give them a reason to not do this. People keep rewarding them for these kinds of practices. Push back for once, and Apple will pull on the reigns. Keep buying up every new iPhone Apple can make for the first six months of its run, and they will keep raising prices and adding fewer new features.
Can you be any more obvious that you're an Apple employee or paid by Apple? loll
They are thinking that society is stupid and will continue giving them their money for lackluster products.
