The Air moving above the Pro would make no sense from a product segmentation perspective. If the Fold has additional features over the Pro, that makes lots of sense, since that damn thing will be at least $2,000...
Got a tip for us?

I am not blind. I see what products other companies have. But yes…aluminium frame is a game changer, agree
I have a 15 PM, and... nothing excites me. I might upgrade, if the carrier deals make it make sense, but - looks like basically identical.
Give us a 5.9” ish version and I’m in!
Was really hoping the move up to 6.3 (from 6.1) and 6.9 (from 6.7) that we saw with the 16 Pros would make room for a smaller Pro now too.

Yes, those that believe that Apple is doomed, they just do not know what innovation is.
And Apple has been doomed since releasing the first iPhone. I remember all of the: "Who asked for a non-mechanical keyboard on a mobile phone?" Pass...
Actually, before that with: "Who asked for a thousand songs in your pocket?" Referring to Jobs' iPod introduction.
Nobody has yet been able to articulate what "innovation" is. Other than Apple doesn't do it.
Don’t worry Apple will come up with a new name for the aluminum chassis and say it’s revolutionary.
They will call it “Quantum HyperAluminum” and everybody will absolutely love it. 🤡
Genuinely asking, how do you think you would notice the difference?Absolutely disgusting if Apple downgrade to aluminium from titanium
…next year « upgrade » (again back) to Titanium.
Remember Magsafe? Gone, then a quiet comeback. The move away from physical keys to the Touchbar then backagain?
Can hear Tim now (in his subtle southern drawl)…. »and now » (drum roll) …Titanium! (ooh, ah from the canned audience).
For me the 48-megapixel rear telephoto camera is the only thing that’s vaguely compelling. I hope they’ve managed to keep something secret.
Titanium was a thin coating on an Aluminum frame, so if the phones didn't bend with Titanium, they wont bend without Titanium.
I've been using iPhones since the 3GS, and honestly, the last time an iPhone felt truly innovative to me was the iPhone 7. Since then, it seems like developers have been more innovative than Apple itself. But that's just me. Maybe you have found something innovative around your workflow.
The back is obnoxious. There is nothing elegant or thoughtful design of the rear of these iPhones for years. It’s like the iGor of Young Frankenstein designed it. 🤢 iPhone X was the least obnoxious design when they started this fiasco of ugly.

I must confess the design in the latest renders is starting to grow on me.
I’ve been holding off on upgrading my iPhone for years… but this new logo redesign? Is the innovation I’ve been waiting for 😜
It’s not as durable. Aluminum is more likely to dent or chip. It’s also just not perceived to be as luxurious or nice. There’s a reason the Apple Watch only uses aluminum on the lower end models. If I’m paying a premium for a top end phone, I want nicer materials.
I used to love my 15 Pro Max (stolen by a pickpocket), so I am super ready for a 17 Pro Max
- Better over all cameras,
- Better display
- Better battery life
- Better performance due to more ram and a better chip
- Better cooling system
- Better wireless charging.
- Noticeable design changes.
You’re talking about buying a phone that’s two years newer.
I would certainly hope it’s “better”.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to convey by listing out “everything is better”…
😂
It would actually be a little weird if you had bullet points that were things that were not better or for some reason worse!
Perhaps iOS itself will fall into that category, however.
😬
I’m so excited to upgrade for the Apple logo placement change!!!!!
Seems like people are encouraged to talk about how the new phones are underwhelming, but discouraged from thinking that the new phones are better. Let the guy be excited about his new phone.
