The iPhone Pro Max should support the Apple Pencil.
You don't need a stylus, you've already got 5 on each hand!
Hey, don’t knock it. For all we know portraits of nostrils complete with soft, out of focus interior hairs are a thing 😁
I do not support this whole larger iPhone plan. I am perfectly fine with the current size. If you want a larger phone, buy the Max.
Been there done that many times. Siri is absolutely useless about trying to think outside of its box. I’ve literally smashed 2 iphone screens because of Siri rage.Oh, come on! Siri works great. Just ask Larry David.....
RIP iPhone SE
RIP iPhone 8
‘Smart tech’ is only as good as the 6yr old that designed/wrote it..
I'm now on a three-year upgrade cycle. The product is mature. They're at the point of pushing boundaries of the tech which comes in small steps. When a solid-state battery is available for the phone, I may be able to go to a longer upgrade cycle.
I'm at the point where I get more satisfaction and enjoyment out of keeping tech as long as possible instead of upgrading. I'd rather keep using and fixing things than buy new, if possible.
Same goes for things around my house and property.

It’s been diminishing returns for years. Which is understandable with such a mature product. I intend to ride out my 13 Pro Max for many years to come. I bought that for the Pro Motion screen and insane battery life, and it still holds up. Rarely lower than 60%-70% in a day, although I do use it as little as possible.
Flipside, the Vision Pro (which I’ve personally zero interest in, not that it matters) will see huge improvements in the next few iterations. To the point where, unless you can monetise it, have silly money or are a dev, you’d be crazy to buy the first version imo.

Speaking only for myself, faster WiFi, a more powerful chip, more RAM, and better thermal management are all nice to have but not must-haves. Everything else on the list doesn’t matter to me at all. I expect that I’ll keep my 15 Plus for several years.
Not trolling, genuinely curious. What is it about an OLED display that hurts your eyes? I love my OLED Switch and 77" LG.
A small 1” Apple shaped display would be nice to have on the back so we can use the best cameras for selfies, zoom, etc.
I think a reason why the iPhone 16 Plus will have a slightly smaller battery is that unlike the iPhone 15 Plus, the iPhone 16 Plus will use a variant of the upcoming A18 SoC, which means much better battery efficiency, so they don't need a 4,300 mAh battery.
I hope they will have the courage to implement splitscreen multitasking and an extra row of icons on the homescreen. It‘s ridiculous that my iPhone Mini shows the same content as a Max/Plus. Also whoever invented the floating video bubble instead of a real splitscreen needs to be punished really hard.
In all the mentions of the larger screen sizes, I haven't seen mentioned whether the chassis will also be larger as a result or whether they're able to remove to achieve with current size.
Looks exactly like the iPhone 14 I have. Apple has lost all sense of innovation with the iPhone. Another year without upgrade I guess. Just not worth it.
Wouldn’t mind landscaping Home Screen like the good old days
