The Dynamic Island, sitting further down on the phone, rather than flush with the borders , is much more intrusive.

We gave our son our old 8-plus … can you do a comparison so I can show him all the money I'm saving by not giving him all those bells and whistles!

Comparing something that doesn't exist yet to something that will be two generations prior feels more like doing the marketing work of Apple than reporting news/rumors.
Why not compare it to a rock to show how advanced it is?

You must not have kids that play sports. I love the 120 and wish for an even greater zoom.
Don't forget the most important thing you do, "Browse MacRumors!" 😁
All kidding aside you are right. I know people go nuts over Shortcuts, but I think that is one of the most useless things ever created. I can't write a shortcut for an app that needs it the most. Most of the time apps that do allow you to write shortcuts for them generally are well written and don't need anything added. And those that do allow you to write a shortcut generally do not give me the access needed to do what I want. It's a neutered solution thrown on top of an neutered OS.

With the size increase of the regular pro, a lot of 14 Pro Max users may be getting the iPhone 16 Pro. It will be something I consider.
I know the 13mini was a sales flop, but I also think that was perhaps overshooting the mark. The 5.8" size of the X, XS and 11pro was a winner. I also believe that it's a enough of a gap between the new 6.3 and 6.9 inch sizes, that Apple could release the pro in 3 sizes, and perhaps the standard iPhone in either one or two of the best selling sizes. Just because a phone is smaller by preference does not mean that the user wants a phone with fewer features, just a smaller phone.
I’ve been one of those every-two-years upgraders, wondering if this is the year I’ll break that cycle and just hold onto the 14 Pro. The upgrade from 12P to 14P had some significant changes: better camera, Dynamic Island, and especially the higher refresh rate (it is seriously hard to use any 60Hz touchscreen now). But so far, nothing about the 15P or 16P seem especially compelling. So the biggest reason to upgrade would be to maximize the resale value of the 14P, and the inherent risks of not having AC+ coverage.
This 14 Pro Max user is happily waiting for the 17. I used to be "two-and-new" but switched to "three-and-new"; the upgrade becomes more of a "wow factor" (plus, I'm not ready to ditch the Lightning connector for USB-C quite yet). Also, maybe Apple will have their proprietary modem ready by fall 2025.
If I hadn't lusted for the S24U, I would still be fine with my 13pro. There's not anything in the feature set comparison that would entice me to switch. Not even close. In fact, I didn't upgrade to the 15 specifically because of that stupid dynamic island (the pinhole camera up in the S24U's status bar is a perfect compromise). Which is absolutely fine. Incremental upgrades are fine, but Apple constantly acts as if the newest iPhone is a total game changer, groundbreaker, best-thing-since sliced bread.
Apple needs to shift their eco-focused messaging toward sustainability via longevity. There's a lot of people out there who pretend to care about the environment yet constantly go buy the newest crap. Come out with the most repairable phone ever, abandon the stupid Apple packaging, and get people thinking about keeping their phones longer than they do. But that won't appease Wall St.

I'm on iPhone 13 pro, and while i would like a better camera in my next iPhone, the only other thing im really missing is a brighter screen, especially during summer.
Would also like if the removed the pill design and went back to notch, or just made a fullscreen display.

All I want is for them to delete Siri and install Jarvis on my phone.
Just specify which Jarvis. They might give you a Jarvis Cocker 😆
I agree. The 11 pro was my favorite physical phone. I had the green one. LOVED IT!!!
Love to see 16 pro stuff crammed into the same body of the 11 pro.
