iPhone 15 Pro Predicted to Feature Increased 8GB of RAM, USB-C Port, and More

I would like to thank the European Union for single handedly putting a stop to Apple's connector cable insanity.
At the current exchange rate, the pre-sales tax price ($829 USD) of the 128GB iPhone 14 in the U.S. is practically the same as the pre-VAT price (834 € or $830 USD) of the 128GB iPhone 14 in Germany.
How would making an iPhone more expensive in the U.S. benefit consumers?
Apps reload in the background way too often for a flagship phone. 8GB is bare minimum these days for a top of the line phone.
We’ve had 3 generations of basically the same design (iPhone 12, 13 and 14).
Is it plausible to think the iPhone 15 will bring even a minor redesign?
I’d love to see them rethink the camera module now that the cameras are getting so big. it’s pretty obvious that this design choice isn’t scaling very well with the increased demands of the camera. I know some don’t like it but I personally think Google’s Pixel phones have a great (and future thinking) camera bar design that keeps the phone balanced and prevents wobble. Not saying Apple needs to copy that but please don’t just keep increasing the size of the square in the corner!

Apps do not run in the background in iOS period. They are put to sleep and can only interact through the APIs that are available to them. With that in mind, how could there be any other standard for a "flagship" phone?
RAM eats into battery life slowly, the more of it you have, the more you lose. Whether the phone is in use or not. Looking at hardware components like this in terms of "GB" is always going to be wrong.
If they don't do a trade in, it does not mean you were right. Even if there is a 99.9999% chance that they DO a trade in, not doing one would have only put you in that .0001 percentile. So no, you can't be proven right here, you will never know what the chances were. But I can assure you that 0% is absolutely wrong.
Ah we're doing mental gymnastics I see. Here's your gold medal.
I love this game where people think they can go in circles and end up always right and never wrong.
I say they'll never do a trade-in, 100% sure they won't. You say they may. Now if they don't do it, you end up right and I end up wrong somehow in your mind. And if they do it (which they won't), you are right and I am wrong.
Yeah, no I'm not wrong. Here, even Microsoft knows how this works: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/x...rounding/introduction-to-backgrounding-in-ios
Android had serious issues with battery life until they mimicked this functionality with Doze Mode.
As for more memory affecting battery life, this is simple physics. Claiming that it's wrong means you're not only lacking the knowledge but that you also refuse to actually think about it. RAM is constantly refreshed with power, every active part of RAM is using energy at all times. More of it means more power draw.
You already got your gold medal (only 1 allowed per event), go be a pedant elsewhere and play mental gymnastics with someone else.
Mental gymnastics? You're speaking in absolutes. There is no situation where, if you're claiming there is a chance of one or the other, that you could be proven right without statistics. I say it is POSSIBLE. Which means if they do, I would certainly have been right. You say it's IMPOSSIBLE, which means if they do you are certainly wrong. However, if they don't, we will never know. It's not my fault that you don't understand that your own logic puts you in this position.
Man, you're really incapable of discussion. That reply wasn't even to you...
Now we're talking. Still loving iPhone 13 Pro but will be ready for the 15 Pro Max with those rumored features.
I do wonder what specialty color Apple launches in the Spring 2023 for the 14/14Pro. We got Alpine Green last year. Maybe another blue or maybe Red on the 14 Pros.
I would strongly thing about not upgrading if they suddenly introduce a port which is reminiscent of a 2013 Android phone. However the next two iPhones will have lightning and after that wireless technology will be mature enough to allow for completely portless and wireless charging
Nothing had USB C in 2013, the first phone to have it was in 2015. It's the current port on virtually everything on the planet, there's nothing "aged" about USB C.
I suppose I can do some research on "periscope lens" but my question is whether or not it can be achieved optically vs digitally. moving parts might be ok, but I certainly understand it won't be similar to zoom lenses found in ILS cameras
If the parts don't move, it will have to be digital zoom of some sort - that's the only way this can work otherwise.
Periscope Lens: What is it? And When Will Apple Use One in iPhone?
At least one of the iPhone models that's coming in 2023 will feature a "periscope" lens, according to information shared by Apple analyst...

they recycle lightning cables for free. why would giving you free USB-C cables be part of the "help the environment" equation? giving away free USB-C cables would literally be bad for the environment, but whatever helps your argument i guess.
