I’d be happy to upgrade if they’d make a mini

iPhone 16 Pro Demand Has Been Lower Than Expected, Analyst Says

Yes, better colors would've helped differentiate the 16 Pros from the 15 Pros, and maybe increase demand. Pros deserve the bright and fun colors too.
They need to stop with the mindset that pros should only have the boring and "serious" colors.
There hasn’t been a notch since the 14. I’ve gotta ask how, how do you feel a hole is better than the current pill shape cutout?
How long will you even have those couple extra hours before it gets eaten by battery degradation? With €400 saved, you could add a couple of battery replacements, and a MagSafe power bank, and still come out ahead.
But if you’re happy with your decision, that’s fine. Even though I can afford the 16, for me, a 15 Pro for that much less money is too good a deal to refuse.
You just described me, but with a new case and glass protector, my 12 Pro is feeling like brand new. Might wait for the 17.
That is only 4 more hours of watching locally stored video at 150 nits in airplane mode.
Niño…what?. We are no Huawei!, we will release new colors every year and put the “fastest CPU in a phone slogan (except this year, because it is not). Anyway, gullible teens will buy it to be hip. Let’s do this forever as Uncle Sam has us protected from dreadful innovating companies!.
The camera button is one of the reason I upgrade haha.
That and the upgraded camera sensors.
I hope the button will work nicely and camera system is upgraded enough, otherwise I might return it and keep the 13 pro a few years more.
No one could see that coming!.
Apple intelligence is soooooo uninteresting, really poor choice from Tim to go in that direction. Making phones slower and consume more battery to have messages and notes written in a different tone?. So, useless. Even the photos editor is so mediocre. iPhone will do everything AI related miserably and Apple will then get a bad rep and Huawei will succeed finally. Just not in USA, where people will continue to buy the same device year after year.

Only so much you can do with a glass rectangle.
Apple Intelligence I guess is good for making cartoon raccoons… or something.

Now if they would only add 90 or 120 hz. to those models.
I will upgrade immediately when they put physical SIM card back to US version.
Used to update yearly and give old models to my parents where e sim is not supported.
Now no one to give and i will keep my iPhone 14 Pro Max for another year

As a 15 Pro Max user I have absolutely zero interest in this minor upgrade. Up until now, I changed phones every 2 and then every 3 years and I think it will soon be 4 years before my next phone.
In recent years I fell mostly for the camera upgrades.
But then at some point you realise that serious phone photography just isn't a thing, it's all software/AI shenanigans. The 5x zoom on the iphone is terrible and I won't fall for it again.
I brought a pro cam instead

create content for Apple Vision Pro - > potentially driving its sales up
Or maybe it's because Apple Intelligence is the only standout feature and not very appealing to many people?
The fact the two iPhone stores near me have the iPhone 15 Pro in all colors and all sizes for either launch day delivery or the day after this late after the start of preorders says the analyst is right on this one.
On busy iPhone cycles you see delivery dates quickly dry up and everyone is either watching the Apple Store site hoping to see a new delivery window open up or begging for a phone if they show up on launch day as otherwise the dates are a month out.
The release is extremely light so it makes sense…
AI might give the iPhone a boost, but the features haven’t yet arrived and won’t fully until we’re thinking about the iPhone 17. In addition to that Apple had let Siri basically rot for a long time so people are in a “show me” mode before they trust Apple marketing hype on its usefulness and features.
