Jon Prosser isn't even in the top 10 when it comes to accuracy of Apple leaks yet because he's click-bait hack, we're suppose to swallow the Kool-Aid and believe he saw an iPhone that doesn't exist yet. On his last fail, the clown said he would shave have his eyebrows; how do you report anything he says with a straight face?

I have a galaxy Z Flip 3, it's in the middle, but you're right about the fold 3, it isn't in the middle, but it's an under glass camera, no hole punch.
How do you like the Z Flip 3? This has made me curious about a device other than iPhone for the first time since 3G - I’m rocking the 12PM now
 
Titanium will make the iPhone lighter overall then the current models despite if it's thicker and has a bigger battery. Stainless Steel VS Titanium.
But there's little as is, the weight diff between a 12 and a 12 pro is 40 grams. with weight and strength difference titanium is going to be about that weight difference.

Love it! I get a bit over a day on the battery, which is a frequent criticism from others.

One thing that struck me the most, is it doesn't get hot like my iPhone 11 PM does when gaming, and it feels just as fast. The display is even better than the 11, even with the fold.

You can answer a call when it's closed (speakerphone), but you can't make one and I wish it would do that. That's one thing they could improve for the next version, a bigger, more functional outside screen. Touch-ID works extremely well, but Face-ID isn't quite as good as the iPhone.

This is good news. I was thinking about upgrading my XS Max to the upcoming iPhone next week. But now, I will just hold out another year for the seemingly better value on next years phone.

yeah.... I jumped the gun and got rid of my XS Max last month. (thinking that I would get one of the new iPhone 13) now I'm have serious second thoughts. :(

But you notice that 40 grams. I don't think this iPhone 14 design will make it that much heavier.
 
Prosser is a real tool. Ooooh, he released this info now to "create chaos". Wow, we sure needed another narcissist creating chaos these days. Jeez.

He‘s ranked 3rd and was spot on with the designs of

imac
air tags
air pods max
iphone SE
pixel 6 and android 12

he was all correct. So think you need to check your facts on this

he has been wrong before but when it comes to designs? He’s been spot on pretty much every time

Except, you will always need to carry a power cable specifically for iohone cause “portless” iPhone recharge will not use USB-C port. God, iPhone is so special it deserves its own cable no matter what. And apple is bragging about minuscule savings of not including charging brick.
I’d be happy if everything was USB C (including PCs and Monitors). Wireless Qi should be an option for low power devices like phones and readers.

Yep, He’s a bit annoying with his clickbait IMHO. However, when looking at his track record he’s not as bad as Macrumors forum thinks.
 
It’s an artist’s impression! Even if accurate, it’s very doubtful a prototype has even been produced yet. They’re probably at the mock-up stage and will refine once they get iP13 feedback
I’m fully aware of that. Yet it is a first visualization to give an idea - and that currently does not wow me. I’ll reserve final judgement until the real from Apple is available next year. Still I was surprised that it had such an effect on me.

What's your source for saying he's 3rd; I see 12th according to Appletrack as of 2 Aug with 74% correct. BTW, the top 3 leakers have 90% or better accuracy. Prosser is average at best but I suppose he gets graded on a curve for arrogance, hype & humor. Of course he leaves himself an out on this one - it's just a prototype and anything could change, yada, yada. So the iPhone 14 turns out to be different than predicted, I'm guessing Prosser won't shave off the rest of his body hair.
 
The guy who predicted and showed what the new iPad Mini would look like, along with many other Apple devices months in advance, which came true. Shows us the iPhone 14 and damn it's a nice design. It's enough to make me hold out on the iPhone 13.
Where is the new mini? What came true?
 
YouTube doesn’t work like that. He just puts up as much content as he likes and hopes that people find it interesting enough to keep coming back. The ad revenue then pays his mortgage and stuff.
I meant airtime here on Mac rumors.
 
I don't know about everyone else here but I will NEVER base any immediate or future purchasing decisions on whether or not Jon Prosser is correct 😂

Do you need the next iPhone that will be announced next week, then buy it! If you don't, then don't and wait a year! It's not that difficult to decide.

What do you mean? MagSafe chargers are powered by USB-C. You could also use an existing, non-Apple Qi charger.
 
Alright... a hole-punch camera.

So will there also be a hole-punch flood illuminator? A hole-punch dot projector? A hole-punch infrared camera to read all those dots? Ya know... all the things that make FaceID work?

There's a lot more going on there than just a selfie camera...

:p
The rumor is that the FaceID components will be behind the screen. That has been the delay and why we still have the notch. Even now, not everyone is certain that Apple can have that ready by next year. in that case, we probably have a notch for another year. Don't base your purchase plans on this rumor.

Just padding for an iPhone 13 letdown.…


They should just skip a year really. Marginal annual improvements make for snooozfest new product introductions.

I’ll stick with my 12 Pro until at least the 14. The 12 / 12 Pro is a great phone, and still selling very well. It is perhaps my favorite iPhone to-date.

I’m excited to see a transition to no-bump. I’m hoping that the Ti case won’t be a slippery as the stainless/glass of the 12 Pro. The major letdown of the 12 Pro is that it is as slick as snot without a case. I have mine in a leather case only so that it does not go flying out of my pocket when I sit down. Otherwise, I’d go caseless.
Most years are incremental changes. If you have last years phone, it would be stupid to buy a new one this year. that is true most years. Apple can and should release a new phone each year. that moves the product forward. Smart customers will wait 2 to 3 years to buy a new phone when the cumulative changes will give them a significant upgrade.
