The reason for lacklustre sales for iPhone mini is not because of its size, it's because Apple decided to omit Pro features, the battery life due to physical constraints is less and the price difference is not that tempting. If it was a smaller version of my 13 Pro, I'd definitely prefer the mini compared to the clunky 13 Pro.

Good grief man let it go. It IS because of the screen size.
 
iPhonedo is a very good channel with high quality videos and scientific measurements to back it up.

Flossy Carter less so but he makes me laugh with his "real" reviews.
Ya know till you point out he got paid to shill a crap rebranded Chinese phone, then he starts claiming you're just racist.
 
For the iPhone 15, Unbox Therapy will reenact a dream from an iPhone designer to show what he thinks the model will look like before he even designs it.
The iPhone 15 is likely designed. From what I remember, they rough out the engineering based on the design specifications over a year before. They have to source the new technology they will need well in advance when shipping hundreds of millions of phones. Then it goes through Engineering Verification Test (EVT) I think late in the year before/early the year of launch, and then design verification test by spring, and then everything is locked in at least 6 months before production. This is likely how we already have leaks about USB-C for iPhone 15. An order securing 300+ million USB-C ports and related chipsets is likely to cause some eyebrows to be raised in the industry.
 
I like how Apple continues to make slight modifications in measurements from year to year. They'll say it's to perfect their product. I think it's just to keep phone case manufacturers on their toes. ;)
 
He is so very irritating.
It's amazing how everyone on this site hates everyone that reports on anything Apple. Everyone's a fraud, a scam, annoying, fake, superficial, etc.

Doesn't it ever get tiring, whining about everything?
 
Petty pedantic post incoming.

Pills come in all kinds of shapes. I take a pill every day, but it’s circular. So when I read the holes on the front of various iPhone 14 models will be ‘one pill-shaped and one circular’ I have to wonder if there isn’t a better term for the non-circular shape, such as stadium.


Even better (or at least funnier IMHO) perhaps, from that page is sausage body. :D
No. Pill works fine and is understandable by all.

True, but to be honest I've always found this guy to be particularly annoying and it's nice to see that I'm not alone in that opinion. Misery loves company.

It's true that pills come in different shapes, but in most english speaking countries that type of small oval is most commonly known as "pill shape" and is the correct term for something of that shape and size.
 
So a pill shaped cutout and a hole punch hovering just below the top of the display is somehow better than the already widely accepted (and expected) singular notch? This looks a bit busier to my eyes.

You would think that shaving a little bit off the existing notch would have been a better design option until they can get the underglass technology down. Or, perhaps this is the direction they are going in so that there is some sort of discernible physical design changes for the iPhone 14 over and beyond new colors.

I guess we won't know anything until it's officially announced.

I get Lou is a bit irritating. But complaining about clickbait and thumbnails you guys must not watch any other tech YouTubers…

They all do it. They have to.

Luke Miani, Snazzy or MKBHD could put our the same video and no one would complain.

You should look up Unboxed Therapy controversy. There’s a lot more than just click bait titles that make him suspect.
