It was meaningful? I never understood what a 3d touch is, and how to meaningfully (or even intentionally) do a 3d touch and normal touch. Neither did most other users, by the looks of it.
Got a tip for us?

Don't get the point of the Vision Pro recording format being so important to the iPhone 16. The kind of people who drop $3500 on a gimmicky AR toy aren't going to buy the iPhone 16, they're going to buy the iPhone 16 Ultra Max.
Apple can only add so many buttons until they must give us what we actually want: An iPhone that cleanly and securely unfolds into an iPad mini.
Honestly the only thing that gets me to upgrade my iPhone Pro are the camera upgrades. If Apple can keep pushing physics-bending lenses and advanced computational photography to make that tiny sensor look as good as a high end mirrorless camera, then I'll keep buying. But that has limits as well, and eventually that folding iPhone…

Because Apple's thing is to be asymmetric, but only with cameras. Everything else is nearly perfectly symmetrical. Stop asking so many reasonable questions!
No one said anything about the Pro going to a 2 camera system.It can't be real for the Pro model. Back to 2 camera lens? I expect at least 4!
Man do I miss 3D Touch. That was legit an innovate and really special feature. Long-press isn't a suitable replacement, no matter how many people try to sell the idea.
OH my god just get rid of the stupid camera bump at least on the regular iPhone. It honestly looks more ghetto every time I see it.
How? Look up any iPhone teardown and you'll see there's not even close to enough space to do it.
Because Apple failed to follow up and teach you how and why to use it.
And again, that’s just one example.
Right. Except there’s a problem. The optics. They can’t be miniaturized beyond where they are right now. The cameras need to gather light and focus it on the sensor. That takes space due to the raw physics involved.
It's not a squircle is it, it's just a square with rounded-off corners.
Well Sony can manage to not have a camera bump on the Xperia Pro...

I see mockups of a base level iPhone, made by modifying images of an iPhone 15. Where do you see a Pro?
I have no problem with that, since it would allow for a larger version of another element that can’t be miniaturized: the battery. But the chances of Apple beefing up the iPhone are virtually nil.
The Xperia Pro camera does project out from the case a little, though not nearly as much as iPhone’s. Its longest lens is 50mm so that helps too.
I'm glad to hear you mention the USB speed.
You might find the following thread of interest:
Will iPhone 14 be USB 2.0? Probably, since Cook is mediocre.
Apple computers have had USB 3.0 since mid-2012. That is 10 years ago. Despite that, Tim Cook, being the mediocre beancounter MBA suit that he is, has still not done anything to upgrade the connectivity on the latest iPhones. The latest iPhones use the same USB 2.0 connectivity that shipped with...

That is a truly weird thread, for a bit there you were basically talking to yourself… for a year…I'm glad to hear you mention the USB speed.

The new back panel looks good but I just wish they would improve the interaction for tweaking volume. When you change volume on a plus or max device, it involves so much moving. Wouldn't it be better to do something like solid state with on screen volume control?
Like a solid state button just below power and it would "invoke" the volume slider on the screen just next to the button you pressed

Seriously? Can you see there're three in the photo? How about the one on the left? Don't waste my time please.
