I still think Apple should have re-engineered the iPhone 13 mini into a 1 mm thicker phone to accommodate a bigger battery, kept Face ID, and just put in a single camera sensor in back for a new iPhone SE 4.
And no, it won't be more advanced than iPhone Pro Max.
I do believe that there will also be iPhone Ultra at some point in the future.
Also kinda off-topic: I don't see Apple ever ditching 'i' from their product names entirely. iPhone is too iconic a name. And how would they rename iCloud?
I can predict this phone will also squeeze my wallet into a smaller size. 😩
At minimum, Gurman expects the iPhone "Air" to be more popular than the iPhone mini and Plus devices from recent years.
Yup, my wife has a 13 mini and doesn’t want anything bigger, yet the mini supposedly was a “commercial failure” which I call BS… Apple choice of models is just weirdI don't want thinner, I want smaller. I hated the old iPhone5 series that was big and thin. It felt fragile to hold and lacked a sense of substance. I do like the thinner 13" iPad Pro, but it was huge and heavy. The iPhone is not.
The original MacBook Air cost considerably more than the base MacBook when it was released - $1799 vs. $1099 for a base MacBook, and had inferior specifications. But people enthusiastically bought it because of how impressively thin it was.This is going to flop badly if this is the case. Pay more for the same phone just thinner?
Ah no. I still think this may be the long-awaited foldable iPhone like a Galazy Z Flip.
Your money will vanish into Thin AirI can predict this phone will also squeeze my wallet into a smaller size. 😩
Apple needs to do something to address the slow down/ slump in iphone sales. Not sure if this is it. In China in particular they need to offer something new as the Chinese brands especially Huawei, are gaining in popularity.
Why do you call the reports about the Mini being a failure BS?Yup, my wife has a 13 mini and doesn’t want anything bigger, yet the mini supposedly was a “commercial failure” which I call BS… Apple choice of models is just weird
The rumoured plan was to price this above the other models. This would be funny as all the Apple fanboys heads would explode trying to work out whether to get the most powerful model (Pro Max) or the most expensive model (Air)...Wonder how they're pricing this. Apple has phones at $800, $900, $1000, and $1200 as of now. Are they moving the small Pro up to $1100, leaving the Air at $1000?
Nonsense.the Appleverse finding many ways to rationalize a folding device and many "problems" solved by the new Apple solution (and only the Apple solution).
