To be fair, what do you think people do more with their phones: make calls, or take photos?
I say this every time there's a bump in screen size. Yet, here I am happily using a 6.06" screen vs. the 3.5" screen on my first model ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
iPhone 18. Exactly the same as iPhone 17, but a new number AND a new font! I think you are really going to like it...!
Am I the only one who read “ in new Meme posted by” instead of the memo. Expect an another meme about delays/ testing problems when the rumor is not gonna be true.
The LAST thing I want is a bigger screen (iPhone).
This means that I'll keep m mini until Apple no longer updated the software. Then, Ill get the smallest iPhone Apple makes.
I like a good array of features, but I'll always use my iPad for emails, internet, reading the news and books. nd I'll always have a Mac Desktop for the heavy stuff.
Camera? I'll use a pro-summer Nikon with the glass I already own. I'm lusting after the Z8.

Last week, oft-accurate display industry analyst Ross Young claimed that Apple will adopt new screen sizes for both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models. The smaller iPhone 16 Pro is expected to have a display size of 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a display size of 6.9 inches.
The current iPhone 14 Pro has a display size of 6.1 inches and the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a display size of 6.7 inches. This year's iPhone 15 models are all expected to retain the same dimensions as those in the iPhone 14 series, so the step change from the 2023 to 2024 Pro models would be an approximate increase of 0.2 inches for both devices.
This rumor pushes me towards getting the 15 to avoid being forced into the 6.3 size. I prefer to daily carry a smaller phone.

Good! Screw Canon and their anti-summer bias. I refuse to use my camera only in the winter, dammit.
the problem with adding periscope lens is u would need 2 zoom lenses one at 3x and another at 5-6x so if u get away with one the gap with one is too large and samsung has had a 10x for many yrs so u will only be half way compared to samsung they use a doubly folded periscope. huiwei which invented and launched periscope lenses first in 2019 now has a new one which works with night mode. periscope lens have been terrible with night pics. google has even added a periscope to pixel fold which no one else is doing
moving forward some companies will try to fit in 3 zoom lens

Personally, make calls. Could be an interesting poll!
I hope these rumors are true as I'll def wait for a bigger screen and hopefully a bullet hole camera and not the Dynamic Island Pill. If no bigger screen or same FaceID/Camera cut out then I will get this year's phone.
More screen real estate on an almost same sized phone would be great. Oh, and is a lighter phone wishful thinking?
but the tiny areas 48mp sensor will not solve anything and u would need 4 lens total
iPhone 15 pro will be the same as the 14 pro with “the most efficient CPU in a iPhone ever…”
Only the 15PM will have the periscope.
Mmmmmhhh. Even 13PM takes photos with lower noise than my 14PM!, how is that an upgrade if tre aperture is smaller?. We are going backwards. Photos are kind of worse in several scenarios than last year and 15 will be the same fiasco. Great innovation, have you seen the Huawei p60?, THAT is a camera!

Honestly? My no.1 use is whatsapp, surfing the net comes second, youtube third… phone calls one a day, if that.
My 12 Pro Max camera was really good. If the phone hadn't had a problem with the display rendering black as a weird shade of green, I might have stuck with it. The photos I took with it looked less over processed than the photos I've gotten since on 13 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Sticking with your 12 Pro Max isn't a bad idea.
The whole point of a true zoom lens is that you don't crop the sensor. Cropping isn't true zoom but digital zoom. Which is why beyond 3x on a 12mp it looks like crap.
If they flushed the device back with the camera bump, they could probably have a 0.5-6x in one zoom lens.Someday the iPhone will return into a single camera on the back through a hybrid camera like this.
