Going from the 13mini to 15 pro was a compromise enough. Apple, WHY???!, are you forcing even larger screens next go around? Stop with this nonsense. I swear they’re doing all they can to force me to Android. I can’t go larger.

Yeah, a 15PM is a big stretch to one hand even with my big ape hands.

Androids are mostly much larger devices to start with…

You’ve got a 15 Pro, so why would you be looking to change next year anyway?!

In fact if size was the priority factor, why not keep the 13 mini?

The new SE will likely provide the smaller option again when that is released.

5.9-6.1 are the smallest android phones out there. I suppose the
Z-Flip could be considered smaller when closed but opened it is definitely a large device too. If you want to switch to android that's fine but your 15Pro is already the same size as the smallest android options so I really don't see how it would make any difference. Small phones are not what phone manufacturers are interested in at this point in time. It's such a small market and they know what the vast majority of their customers want which is larger devices.. The iPhone 13 mini is still considered the best small phone available at this time, not sure why you got rid of yours, maybe buy another?

Hmmm…interesting. I had planned to wait another year or two to upgrade my 11 Pro Max, but if the 16 is going to be larger than the 15 then a 16 Pro Max might just be in the cards for me this year.

Still smaller than what I want, but getting there.

The whole phone industry is moving away from small phones phone will get bigger and bigger each year ...

If Apple want to give us larger displays why can't they just go 0.1 inch larger on the Pro and Pro Max and keep the same dimension body as the 15 Pro and Pro Max? This would be a screen to body ratio of around 91% which a number of android phones have already, could be done quite easily if Apple wanted to.

The 15 Pro feels perfect in my hand this year. I hope the future Pro versions don't get larger and/or heavier.

I dont mind larger screen sizes, as long as the screen to body ratio is as close to 100% as possible. The 15 Pro models have done a good job here, and the new S24 range even better (s24 is now 6.2” in exact same body as s23 which is 6.1”).

Screen size change seems to be the motivation to boost sales. The screen is what users directly interact with every day. So yes it's possible for Apple to increase the sizes to 6.3" and 6.9" respectively. If that happens so, I'll keep my iPhone 15 Pro for a couple of year more. For me 5.8" is the best and I can't go further 6.1" :D
