Please predict also the iPhone 19 because this is going to change my life 🤣🤣🤣
thinner, slightly better SoC ( with minor changes ) and larger display - this product absolutely qualifies for a game changer in the Apple Watch lineup.
If you have an iPhone for years, like taking many photo/video and no cloud subscription, 256GB is not much at all nowadaysThe IPhone 16 is the last phone I’ll ever havewho needs more than 256gb of data? lol 😂
the watch is massively better than all Apple Watches before:
- largest display
- thinnest Apple Watch with new SoC housing
- Lightest large Apple Watch
- latest SoC technology
S10 is exactly the same SoC as S9. Nothing wrong or bad, but I have to point it out. It's powerhouse for smartwatch.

the SoC housing is thinner - for the rest we'll have to wait for a deep diveS10 is exactly the same SoC as S9.
The housing has nothing to do with the SoC itself.
This is seriously just stupid at this point. Sure, the phones will get better, great. For 98% of the user base, CPU improvements won't make a bit of difference.
As far as Kuo's predictions at this point, he's just looking for attention. The 16 series first comes out tomorrow and he's already talking about two years down the line.
Also, people looking for some incredible, absolutely revolutionary new hardware in the phones, forget it. The last big jump was from the X to the 11 Pro series. Since then the improvements have been really good, but mostly evolutionary and not revolutionary.
For me, I think the next big leap in mobile phones isn't going to be in the phone and its uses, but battery technology. Start putting solid state batteries in these things that can go days without a charge, that will be awesome.
There's a reason Apple likes to compare a new phone not as much to the previous version, but often one two or three years old- because that that's the customer base they are really after to upgrade.

I’ll do the same with my 12 … wait, I need to upgrade next year 🙃
Yes 👍 I was just joking… I upgrade every two years max… usually every year! Best - Mike
There are some rumors right now that both 512GB/1TB are using QLC, while 128GB/256GB are still TLC.
If this is true, it's really bad for the high capacity devices.

Lol It has nothing to do with S10, because it's S9 in reality. Apple never said the chip is faster in CPU or GPU either.
You can still offload to a computer occasionally without the cloud.
Dude, your insistence on posting in monospace font is quite rude as well.
This stuff cracks me up, since the iPhone 13 Pro the battery has been AWFUL on iPhones and the speed has not been noticeable at all.
iOS does NOTHING with all this power except show off games that 3% of users will play.
2nm, 3nm, 100nm, its all marketing to get tech geeks gooning over benchmarks that mean nothing when a freaking tensor makes pixels just as fast and smooth.
