I’m on 6 year intervals now. Went from the 7 to the 14 pro. Now I’ll wait until the iPhone 20.
You might be half-joking but I thought the very same thing.After 18, they will call it iPhone 26
From my perspective, and possibly from the perspective of those who don't have a 13 in 2025. The anniversary model is meant to be all screen, at least this is what I read here. The 17 is getting incremental upgrades, with an update to the camera bump which imho seems to be dictated by the desire to have a new design, rather than by necessity. The 18 is rumored to be doing away with the D.I. but only to give us the hole-punch design."half-assed" from what perspective? and for who?
Those of us who have older phones might find them very compelling, eg I have a 13PM and the rumors entice me to maybe upgrade to a 17PM, but I will make my decision after I know what it actually does.
And if someone will be a 19 in the future, the 20 might be "Half-assed" ...
an iPhone is a tool that needs to be replaced after it has served some useful time, that timeframe is different for a lot of people ...
Yeah but I don’t want a Fold. Flip possibly, Fold no.Psssh, nobody who is anybody is talking about the iPhone 18. Everybody who is anybody is getting pumped for the ALL NEW iPhone Fold. This is the biggest advancement to the iPhone since the original iPhone. And Apple didn’t stop there. For the first time ever, Apple is proud to introduce a game-changing feature to the best-in-class iPhone Fold: under-screen Face ID, allowing for a beautiful all-screen experience. Apple can’t wait to see the incredible things customers are able to do. Apple thinks you’re gonna love it!
What's your point? Someone rocking an iphone 6 is an inferior "lil dude"? I personally respect people that don't need the latest and greatest to validate themselves.There’s always gonna be that one lil dude who says “I’m skipping this year’s iPhone” and still has like an iPhone 6 or something
Maybe for longer shutter speeds in bright light for video? I don't see any advantage for photography (with these sensor sizes).A variable aperture on iPhone 18 Pro models should provide users with greater control over depth of field, which refers to how sharp a subject appears in the foreground compared to the background. However, given that iPhones have smaller image sensors due to size constraints, it is unclear exactly how meaningful this improvement would be.
Dynamic Island works perfectly well with a holepunch screen.If Face ID is under the screen then why the need for something as obtrusive as the “dynamic” island in the first place? Punch out hole only for the front camera?
If only I opted for 6s Plus instead of crappy 6s with poor battery I would have been that dude for sure.There’s always gonna be that one lil dude who says “I’m skipping this year’s iPhone” and still has like an iPhone 6 or something
Minus the fact that during low light those 48mp turn into48 mega pixels on a phone camera is crazy detailed. I wonder if the lens is capable of resolving the scene to that detail.
