If I drop it on the ground and it cracks in half, do I now have a new iPhone mini?

Amen. I am so tired of gestures taking over my phone and doing unwanted functions, when I touch the phone wrong or wipe some dust off my screen. Give me the option to turn that crap off, and give me some real navigation buttons and a little bit of bezel to hold on to. I don't understand the obsession with corner to corner screen at the expense of reduced functionality. We wouldn't even have the stupid waste of space that is the "Dynamic Island" if we just had a little bit of top bezel.

Same here. All around display is solving a non-existing problem. Can you imagine how much money people will end up spending on screen/frame replacements given that cases defeat the purpose of such a feature? I will hang on to my 17 for at least 2 more years anyway. But when replacement time comes and glass sides are the only option, I'd switch to Android 😳.

Not terribly interested but not put out either.
I'll have to see it and feel it to pass judgement. It's something that's over a year away so it's impossible to make any real decision in regards to if I want it or not.
If the design is part of the usual PM line then I will probably end up with it. Under the screen face ID would be a plus. Depends on the other features.
If it's some ultra premium tier phone then count me out. I'll be staying in the PM territory and not floating into Ultra Expensive territory.
These "super premium" tier products are all ready reaching the tail end of their appeal and their ability to move units and make profits. A good example is the automotive industry.
The major auto manufacturers figured they could roll a super premium truck or SUV on the same assembly line and make a bigger profit off it because they could charge more for a unit it costs almost the same amount to buld. The auto worker making that High Country Silverado or Platinum F-150 isn't getting paid more an hour to make a premium unit as opposed to making an LT or an XLT truck.
Problem is no one can afford it. Interest rates are too high, everything got and continues to get super expensive and to be honest, a lot of regular shmucks like me have a certain degree of snarkiness for people with luxury cars, clothes, vacations, etc.
You can afford a $80K pickup truck? Oh, good for you. I'm stuck driving my old beater because who the heck wants a $1,000/mo car payment? Most people don't have that kind of money. So the ultra premium cars and trucks are sitting on lots unsold with big incentives for people to buy them. And people still aren't buying them,
The mid range models with real upgrades and useable features always move. People don't need luxury, but they don't want to be uncomfortable and they will pay for features if they bring value.
Some no edged phone that ends up being nothing but a status symbol will end up being just that. Apple won't sell a lot of them. People will stay with the Pro and the Pro Max depending on what screen size they want. The Pro tier in the iPhone line will be where the feature set justifies the upsell.
Look, even "rich" people are pitching a bitch about how expensive things are. And let me tell you, rich people are the first ones to pinch pennies and bitch when times get tough. I saw it in 2008. When the economy sinks, people with money fear nothing more than not having it and they get super cheap.
I've been kinda broke by whole life. Not a pauper, but not a big spender either. So being broke is nothing new to me. Good and bad times come and go. But I don't think a super premium product is well placed when everyone is screaming "AFFORDABILITY".

Why are we pretending like these are different?
Apple doesn’t do anniversary models, they did it once during the Gil Emilio era 30 years ago and it was one of the first things on Steve’s list of products to immediately discontinue.
Even the iPhone X wasn’t an anniversary phone, it was just… the next generation of iPhone.
The anniversary edition and the 19Pro are the same phone.
Also these phones would be released four months after the anniversary of the launch of the original iPhone, and almost 10 months after the announcement. Remember, the original iPhone was announced in January, not September.
If anything, the real anniversary phone will be the folding one launching in December, the only phone actually launching anywhere close to the 20th anniversary.
Yes, ...a site on which rumors are discussed. Had I thought it was an established fact I would have acknowledged that by adding the traditional "Jobs would never have allowed this" or "sack Tim Cook". 🙂
This is also the same reason I still miss having a home button. Not having the home button makes tap screen to wake and/or raise to wake more of a requirement. Prior to FaceID taking over, I always turned tap to wake or raise to wake off for those same reasons. It's so easy for the screen to just turn on and have me accidentally tap something I didn't intend, especially if it can unlock from my watch too. I know you can set the lock button to be the only wake option, but it's just not as ergonomically comfortable to use as the home button was. It may be a hot take, but I would still sacrifice the bottom part of the screen to bring back the chin with the home button and TouchID (which I also still prefer to this day over FaceID despite having a FaceID phone for nearly 6 years now).
Don't give us the status quo because you can't completely achieve no cutouts.

I’m wondering if they could put the camera under the display then have code that makes the camera area of the display shutoff during the moment of taking the picture.
This will end up like the punch-hole: adopting a widely used format but then putting a spin on it that eventually makes it invaluable. Apple wouldn't just do quad curves for the heck of it. There has to be a software reason backing up that decision which none of us are aware of but will likely turn a few heads.
As usual, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I can actually use it. Until then how do I know I don;t need them?

They added a little buttons "coming from border" animations in iOS not sans reason.

Apple keeps phone design the same...board complains. Rumored design change...board complains.

I think there's no way there won't be a more "rugged" standard version of the iPhone Pro for actual creative professionals. For example, photographers/filmmakers who use it with cages like Beastgrip. It's an important market and Apple is pushing solidly the "shot on iPhone" including the latest MLS game. They won't drop that.
