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.
13 was a huge improvement over the 10 I replaced it with or the 6 that replaced.
Perhaps you were using yours more than you used to? :)

The 13 was good but the 14 and 15 since have been TRASH, real trash to the point people were fuming how fast the battery was degrading on the 14 pro on this very forum.

I don't have high hopes for the 16 because Apple are now a company that cuts so many corners to make a profit.

I posted a video (21:23, but use auto-generated subtitles) from Geekerwan. He called 16 Pro the true 13 Pro successor in battery department. It's insane.
 
The 14pro that i have been using the last 2 years was easily the worst iPhone experience ever. Looking forward to the 16pro - least i keep reading that one has a decent battery life and doesn't dim the display after 10 secs of full brightness.

ive not seen bad batteries for ages in phones.

sadly Apple never seemed to fix the poor battery life on Apple Watch 5 after upgrading to WatchOS 10.
with OS9 I had reasonable most of the day battery. 10 just chewed through hours fast no matter how many updates they put out.

I think the Series 5 had too small a battery for the tasks they decided it could do.
Probably it shouldnt have been on the update to 10 list.
10 didnt add any noticable features I couldnt live without.
It was so bad my Series 3 would last and last compared to the 5 :(
 
Saying "We have most advanced and fastest chip than any other competition" in presentation is nothing apple specific, its just about who's gonna pay TSMC more money.
sure, but it becomes Apple-specific when they secure the entire production to keep competition away.
 
When I bought my iPhone 12 Apple said it was their best iPhone ever so I'll be sticking with this thing until it dies and then I'll buy whatever is current.

Kuostradamus strikes again, with another unbelievable presage that no other human being on earth could have possibly come up with! In other news, I predict the sun will rise in the east and set in the west tomorrow. You're welcome.

he really looked at the chicken gizzards hard to come up with these predictions ;)

Gurman will be next. cant be outdone...
 
All these nanometers are just marketing for geeks. At the end of the day, users need their wifi and cellular to be fast enough to scroll social networks, call relatives and also quality camera to take good photos since no one uses point-and-shoots anymore and photography with smartphone generates less “wow” looks than with dedicated camera

A month or two ago it was "yeah, iPhone 16 (pro), here it comes, lets upgrade"
A week or two ago it was "iPhone 16 (pro) only has 8GB of RAM, boohoo, will wait for 17, where the pros get more RAM for AI!"
And now "Oh no, iPhone 17 will not get 2nm chips, wait for the iPhone 18!"

And the waiting continues ... :-D
Been going on since the PowerBook G5

This was a huge driver toward me upgrading my wife's 12PM and not mine; I am tired of hearing the complaints about the screen dimming when she uses it in bright conditions. I am really really hoping that the 16PM works better in that capacity.
