I have a 12 mini and this was meant to be my update year. I’ll hold off for the 17 and see if that offers any real improvement.

Five years is the longest I have had a iphone model.
If I was you I would just wait for the iPhone 20. I’m sure that should have some real improvements or just go for the android experience and hopefully that works for you.
 
I'm not so sure we'll be missing out.

Like, am I supposed to pretend most of it isn't already available elsewhere and not as fugly as all the other garbage I can generate?

I don't need Apple to give me nasty AI art and all kinds of generated garbage content. The Internet is practically drowning in it.

No.

Plus buying something for features it won't have until months or years down the line is usually not a good idea.

Apple Intelligence as it appears right now can wait.
You are not wrong.
I guess, I'll keep my 12 Pro for another year then.

I’m reading a collection of Steve Jobs interviews and speeches. One thing he hits over and over and over again is that he wanted to “make things smaller.” That was in his top five goals for EVERY product. He was obsessed with making everything that can be smaller even smaller. The idea that the whole “small and thin” drive originated with Jony Ive is wrong. It all comes from Steve.

So I also question Apple’s trend towards larger phones. It seems contrary to their core DNA.
well, the core DNA is....dead. Jobs recommended Cook to the board because he knew he would keep the company financially healthy, not because he was an innovator. Those days are over.
