I know, phones have stagnated, but sometimes there's still some new feature that's exciting and give us a "reason" to upgrade, even though it's completely unnecessary.

Smaller FaceID? Variable aperture just in the Pro Max? A20 2nm CPU with better battery life?

There won't be a huge improvement in cameras, screens, battery, performance... It'll be like 15% better, which is actually negligible in day to day.

Maybe there's a new Apple Intelligence feature reserved for the 18 series.

I would be most interested in the camera upgrades. If only the Max will geht camera upgrades I think not much is left for the normal Pro.
Huuuuuuuge battery improvements would be a winner. But not sure... let's just see and wait what Wednesday brings us.

As I am in the EU new Siri is not too interesing for me yet.
 
.... Air 2.
Vote for Air 2.

While I love my current Air - it's very lightweight and thin which fits my needs (older arthritic hands).

Don't need any camera upgrades - single lens is fine for point & shoot occasionally.

Just want: better battery life without having to use the Magsafe Air battery pack....

Wait. Wasn’t that the same for the last couple of years and still sold like hot cakes?

The trick is not to upgrade every year
