Trying to stuff five pounds of electronics into a three pound container, what could possibly go wrong??????
I remember the first automobile cell phones and they were called bricks due to the weight and similar size to a brick.
My iPhone 16 Pro Max is nearly as as big as the brick foot print lying an a table and perhaps about 25% of a brick's thickness. It feels heavy to hold to the ear for a long call.
I really miss the small device we called a cell phone and back in the day it would fit inconspicalably in my shirt pocket.
The basics were dial (punch in) a number and in a few seconds one was talking to someone. That basic activity is done on the new stuff along with more functions than I could learn in several years....
Progress for a telephone????
Not too sure for we older folks.

Except if it applies to the 18e. Kuo does say that “The ultra-wide CIS supplied by Samsung is expected to be adopted first in mid- to low-end iPhone models.”
From exclusive supplier to making chips in Texas, probably a choice to appease the administration
There should be no more physical handheld smartphone device such as iPhone 19.
Focus is VR / AR / AI glasses only and the global switch by 2028-2030, until the Retinal Implants are available by 2035-2040.

Only MacRumors can bend time like this: one day before the iPhone 17 even exists, we already have ‘iPhone 18’ rumors... no wait, they’re actually iPhone 19 rumors. At this point, it’s not journalism, it’s fan fiction. Confusing, pointless, and honestly kind of dumb.
Only if the iPhone 18e receives an Ultra Wide camera.
iPhone 16e only has a Fusion rear camera — Wide/Main with quasi Telephoto.
Because of physics, they can manage horizontal space for 3 cameras with different focal length. but cannot fit 35mm lens as phone would have to be designed as thick as point n shoot camera.
The dart board with all possible iPhone options is spinning. Get your darts and throw them at the board. You might be as accurate as some of the supposed experts. Reality is about 24 hours away.
Throwing out long-term rumors right now, the day before an Apple event, makes me feel those rumours are sketchy at best.
If the rumor pans out and is backed up with other information a few months from now, the rumormonger can say "I told you so."
If the rumor turns out to be fantasy, it will sink without trace once attention shifts onto the products announced tomorrow. No blow-back on the rumormonger.
This is the worst possible time to come out with a solid rumor, and Kuo isn't an idiot, so it implies the rumor is shaky.

Is it impossible to imagine that Samsung will manufacture something new or different? I'm not sure we should compare what they offer today to what they will in a few years for a different client.
