Cool story but I never skip leg day! I mean iphone day! I get a new one every year on launch day, never fail. My 15 Pro Max is feeling less snappy 
I beg to differ.I completely disagree. Thunderbolt is not commonly used outside the Mac ecosystem except for possible server machines, I think. But many PC's running Windows still mostly run faster USB versions.
Apple finds that it’s better to throw in a model when they want to raise prices. Just like the mini, it serves its purpose as the reg iPhone went up $100. Same for “air.” Will take $999 slot and pro will start at $1099. They don’t care if it flops as long as it softens blow on making more on pro models.i don't really understand the 17 air rumor, particularly since it would have only 1 camera? that makes it a pretty niche device.
I actually thought the exact same thing. I don’t mind the Pro Max size, but a size down might feel a little bit better. The regular size 16 has almost everything I would want, except the ProMotion. I don’t want to give that up. I really do like the aqua blue color they put out this year, though.I was thinking about how if the 16s had ProMotion I’d upgrade from my 15 Pro Max to a 16, lighter materials and I prefer an aluminum rail.
Made me think, maybe an iPhone Air would be dope.
You mean all the buttons will be capacitive touch based? That would actually be pretty cool.The camera capture button will replace all the buttons on the iPhone starting with the “Air” and/or Pros. Pretty obvious from the button press animations in iOS 18. Not everyone cares about having the multi camera array, and I’m personally very interested in seeing what Apple has in mind for the Air. A more hand friendly device is welcome.
The iPhone needs a new design language. I don’t support the mentality that it’s mature enough to just stagnate. doesn’t need to behave like Microsoft and RIM did by resting on their laurels. They need to flex their muscles, akin to how they used to before this era of margins obsessed complacency.
Upgrades nowadays is about the software not the hardware. Every phone manufacturer has peaked besides small specs bumps every year.None of these things are important to the masses. I'm glad I got my 15 Pro Max last year. It should last quite a while. I wonder what Apple will do that will actually change the iPhone.
Trying to push people to a more expensive device is all Apple cares about, I’m sure.If they really upgraded the pro max and not the pro on ram how is that not just trying to push people to a bigger device?
What does your 14PM NOT do that the 16PM does do for you? List that out and then make your decisionI'm still trying to decide what to do. 14PM here. I'm tempted to get the 16PM but not sure.
