What the 20th anniversary iPhone is going to be — all according to macrumors, not me. To be specific, #1 — all display, no cut outs.
well "half assed" goes way beyond the usual bickering here ...
And I don't know why you feel compelled to bring up my user title, but rest assured, I won't respond to your posts going forward.
Goodness, I hope I didn't offend you or hurt your feelings in any other way. How dare I share my opinion in my own words! Noted, thank you.
In the smoke and mirrors department, the iPhone 16 Pro went to 8GB memory to run AI. AI never showed up. The iPhone 17 Pro may have 12GB of ram I think AI will not be ready. The iPhone 18 Pro is rumored to have 16GB of memory and now has the necessary memory for AI.
BS incremental upgrades to milk all the cash they can. If AI wants 16GB on the Macs it will propbably need the same on the other devices to work properly.
No more "early adopter" for me as I lack the faith that we will have honesty in the dog and pony shows. Apple likes the canned shows so they do not get audience feed back in real time (like loud boos).

I have the 13PM & I’m definitely getting the 17PM as an upgrade. I’ll wait a few years after that. Perhaps my next iPhone after the 17PM will have an all screen display… 🙏🏼well, screw that iPhone 17 line-up then ... 18 to the rescue!!!
wait, what about the 19?
Hmm, my 13PM calls for help
I got my 13PM replaced under AC+ like 18 or so m months ago, battery is at 89% and I usually end the day around 50%, so from that perspective, it'll go for another year, and I still have AC+.
But, I'll wait til the announcement esp to see what the cameras are capable of and then make a decision.
Bring back Touch ID and the Lightning connector and get rid of the camera wart on the back! How much more obvious could it be?!?
The idea of "skipping" an iPhone iteration implies a constant cycle of buying and replacing perfectly good phones. There is no such thing as "skipping" an iPhone...you should only buy a new phone when your current one no longer meets your needs.
That's just Max Tech level of information.

"Why you should AVOID this year's iPhone. Apple is dead, Tim ruined it."

Yup, I agree, that's what I'm reading off this, too. I think I'm going to try and hold out on the next two years to grab that 20 year anniversary model. My 15 Pro Max should be able to hold up until then...
If you’re not upgrading, how will you face going out in public knowing the person next to you in the cafe/bar/shop is just so far superior to you? Is shame not one of your emotions?
Yup, I'm thinking this too, however, knowing myself well — might be challenging with my 16PM
Yeah, my 14 Pro Max serves my needs. But it needs a battery and I really want some of that new AI stuff.
