@@PWingert1966 Yeah, have you seen the Samsung folding phone? I was sitting next to a woman at the nail salon who had one. When she opened it, the screen had a blurry distorted line across the middle where it bends on the dark screen. It looked terrible. No thanks. Unless it’s two separate screens together, I’ll pass on a folding phone screen.
I've been a Samsung user all my life but I'm getting tired of it and want to try something new. l will travel to Europe in October for a conference and I can get an iPhone Pro Max there for almost 30% less than what I would pay in my home country. So I'm looking forward very much to join the Apple ecosystem in October with the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
@Zangettsu_ZA i've been an iphone user since iphone 4. in 2022 i purchased 14Pro. this year I came to samsung for the first time with s24Ultra and I dont ever touch my iphone anymore. its more my home phone. samsung is my everything phone.
Got my iphone 12 Mini stolen at the beginning of summer. Found an old iPhone 5S in my cupboard, most apps are not supported anymore, but I love the form factor! Now I wish for an iPhone 16 Mini or even more exciting a Flip one... I imagine having that little cube in my pocket and only opening it when I choose to spend time on it!
WiFi 7 & 5G Advanced are compelling features, even if they might be Pro model exclusives. Replacing the toggle mute switch with the action button on the non-Pros is a nice plus. If underwhelming iPhone Mini & Plus sales have taught Apple anything, it is that most consumers fall outside of these niches because they prioritize practicality. iPhone thinness & fold/flip increases costs while adding little value to the user experience. Consumers tend to prioritize price & ease of use over aesthetics. With 5X optical zoom coming to the Pro model, there is little differentiation with the Pro Max model other than screen size. Like the Plus, most people perceive the Pro Max screen size as impractical for the price. I am upgrading from an iPhone 11. I might discover unanticipated appreciation for the Dynamic Island & Action Button, but MagSafe tops my wishlist of features.
I have an iPhone 13, and it’s still going strong. I’m probably gonna wait until the iPhone 18 or 19, before considering an upgrade. Hopefully theres major improvements from the iPhone 17 and beyond 😬🤞🏻
I have the iPhone 14 Pro and I’m upgrading to the 16 Pro because this phone has so many problems. For example it has battery problems(76% battery) and I use good battery etiquette It also has problems with laggy screen and my friend Also has the 14 pro but for some reason, my camera just doesn’t take as good pictures and the lens is clean and everything.
Also my phone sometimes disconnects from my WiFi which has never happened and doesn’t even connect to a cell tower( this is not a problem for anybody else in my family)
Wonder how the camera button will act with a case on also if you accidentally press it while holding your phone will it open the camera every single time
And the action button, like how many buttons they wannt add to the sides? i don't get it how these designers come out with this stuff. I hope they stay with the action button and that's it.
@@pokiblue5870…same with my 88 year old father. He’s going to need a new iPhone this year and he needs a home button but he also needs a bigger screen. He’s going to miss his 7 Plus!
I feel most people shoot photos in portrait rather than landscape on phones so placement for both options will be key otherwise it might not be used that often. Time will tell
I’m upgrading from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone 16 pro max 2TB I take a lot of pictures and take a lot of videos of stuff… so the more storage the better
Well, I’m excited to finally move from my iPhone 8 to a 16 Pro, and Series 4 Apple Watch to a Series X. Think I’ll notice the differences? 🤣Pretty sure I’ve squeezed every dollars’ worth of value from both units although my stainless steel black Series 4 Watch still looks and works great and the battery still gets me though all but the longest days.
I wish they would update every 2 years instead, that way they’d have more time to work on their setbacks and give us everything at once, it would also be a bigger deal.
@@GooseCeeThat’s true, depends on the situation for everybody, it’s definitely a case by case basis. I’ve had my 8 Plus for four years, has 73% battery health, and I’ll be going for the 15 since they’ve had the price reduced for a while exactly to the 14 so might as well go for the 15 and not the 14. In my situation, I know it’s going to be a massive upgrade for what I have right now and I’m not too worried about the bells and whistles.
That new button sounds like another pain in the ass button that you’re accidentally going to hit all the time when you pick it up, or it’s gonna snap 10,000 pictures while you’re trying to put a case on. I’m still pissed. They moved the sleep button to the side instead of the top.
I have a 14 pro and can see no reason to change mobile phones this year. The reason is mainly that the AI hype only seems to arrive until next year. Then there may be an Air version of the iPhone which could be very interesting. In the meantime, we see what the AI that will be launched in the future gives us in terms of practical functions that we actually need and not just "cool" gimmicks.
I would like the capture button to figure out what my target in the frame is and do an auto zoom to the max amount that will enclose the target object then take the picture. It would make street photography much easier.
Had an iPhone 12, switched to 15PM. The difference is insane! It is sooo much better, in every way. So I really suggest you upgrading… unless the 16s are worse somehow.
As the iPhone battery wears out, the phone reduces performance to improve battery life. So with the worsening performance, often times the new iPhones have the illusion of being so much faster and snappier. However, it’s more or less a trick. At the end of the day you gotta upgrade every couple years to maintain performance. I recommend upgrading with a trade in. People have said the next year will be better/new for the past 4 years. iPhone 17 don’t be a big update either.
@@jasonhong1998 I have like tiny bits of scratches on my screen, it’s hard to notice by eyesight but if u run through by a finger u can feel it, I think that reduced my trade in from 200 to 75, which I don’t feel I wanted to trade in my 12 pro for just 75 …
Robert, you labeled the Mac mini pro concept as being made by "concept production" at 1:08 they did not make it If your going to credit videos please do so properly
Because some of us read stuff on our iPhone in bed and get drowsy and then our iPhone drops on our face giving us a black eye. True story happened to me with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, the purple one. So I preordered the15 Pro Max because of the lighter titanium and picked it up the day it was out. It is lighter but even more lighter would be better.
Why would some Apple fans on RU-vid want a round design on the Apple watch? I have heard this before and am equally surprised every time. My impression is that ordinary Apple watch users are happy that the Apple watch is not the same as all other smartwatches on the market.
I’m currently using a 12 pro phone, which has been great. Been thinking about upgrading, but these updates aren\t exactly exciting me….. given that my phone is still working fine, I think I’m gonna wait another year unless the event gives us something amazing…
Are you seriously suggesting that they’re going to have their giant iPhone event on a Sunday? Have they ever had a product announcement event on a weekend?
I have literally every apple product that they have in its current lineup… but I’m starting to think they better get a new designer and or ceo or maybe both cause at this point it’s the same stuff year after year after year after year after year and so on and so on and so on 😂
How many years now have we been hearing next year’s iPhone will be a totally unbelievable redesign? Get ready for it, only to be old generation iPhone with two action buttons! Has the oxygen sensor law suite been resolved yet?
Get rid of the capture button and give us a 4th camera lens on back.. is what I say!! Apple is trying to overthink things when they need to listen to its customer base more ect…..
