These things are still going to sell like hot cakes. Hell I even have a 14 Pro Max and am contemplating upgrading because I like the "latest and greatest". I am suckered into the Apple ecosystem, but I also have been enjoying the S23 Ultra on the side as my backup phone. Different strokes for different folks, I just happen to like both. I enjoy the ecosystem of the iPhone, and being allowed to customize the S23 Ultra to my hearts content.

I have a Fold 5 1TB as a backup. I've been using it as a portable tablet. Thinking about it a primary...

I think there are a lot more people making the switch. Not to derail this thread about foldables or android VS.....but the hardware that samsung and others are offering are truly very nice, if you can enjoy the operating system than i'd say give it a try! I am very much into the apple ecosystem tho, and that is what has kept me hesitant from making the switch fully. Apple isn't the innovative company it used to be....but like i said since i'm that far into the eco system, i enjoy using the S23 Ultra and my apple watch Ultra together but separate loll........Apple truly needs to start innovating again and blow our socks off.....I miss that old Apple.
 
I doubt it. No way Apple would make the standard models using two lens system be comparable to the pro three lens system.

You’ll also be going from promotion 120hz to 60hz.
Agree. The promotion doesn’t bother me. But one can hope that a year later the cameras could potentially catch up.

Reality is, doesn't matter what Apple introduces...people are going to say "it isn't enough".
 
I generally have only 2 tabs open. [yes, I'm weird]. I've never had more than 3 tabs open.

I'm just more curious as to what marketing tactic Apple is going to use to justify 8GB of RAM.

Yay another one of us exists. I only use one tab at a time, even if I go back to the same page 2 minutes later 😅 I am weird like that
 
I know this has been said more than enough times in this thread, but seriously, if you are going to limit features based on storage, START WITH THAT AMOUNT!

the retort to your point is...
Most of us don't care, we just want a new phone.

and there you haver it.. many people don't use all the features , so besides all the profit driven arguments, Apple starts with a lower base. you want to add storage, to make all the features shine, thats on you.. Choice is good. and yes, I know everyone is going to boo hiss lol.
 
Changing ram based on storage is such a whack move for a phone but also the most apple way of trying to charge more while giving less. Just eliminate the pro name since it clearly isn't really "pro" unless you pay more to make it "full pro." They are getting as bad as the wireless carriers with their "unlimited" plans and paying more to get better "unlimited."
 
What new capabilities? Devs are too lazy to even implement live activities one year later and even if they did, it would still be available on my old as iPhone 12 Pro Max
This couldn't be more correct, I was very very excited about getting to use live activities only a year later to still be disappointed in the apps that actually utilize it. Just like I am still utterly disappointed in what apps I can use in my iPad pro several years later.
