Its funny how some of you arent able to comprehend that SE is and never was same as the mini. It's like saying that Mercedes A-class is the same as Toyota Aygo.
My 12 Pro Max feels goliath, and I can only imagine the lack of portability on such a large iPhone as 6.9 inch.
If it weren't for my workflow (Pro Max phone replaces the need for an ipad, as it's big enough for all things I do ios-wise and I've got my 14 inch pro / mac pro 5,1 for anything macOS) I'd be on a 13 mini.

I've upgraded yearly since the iPhone 6 but I think I'm skipping the 15 Pro, there just is nothing worth it from my 14 Pro... what a better processor? I'll wait for these 16 Pro models, at least they have bigger screens and a periscope camera in each size.
you are currently viewing "MacRumors" a site that for a couple decades now has been able to get much of the information of upcoming Apple hardware. The details about the major hardware features of the 15 Pro and Pro Max are very well known... new A17 Bionic chip on a 3nm process, slightly smaller bezels, stainless steel sides become brushed or might be Titanium, the mute switch becomes a physical button that is programmable for multiple functions, and the Pro Max model gets a periscope camera for the telephoto lens. There you go. It seems a larger scale form change (more rounded sides), haptic buttons, larger screens, and periscope cameras for both Pro models are going to have to wait for 2024.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. I have since found out it’s just like one of the other cameras on the back of the phone. It just uses internal mirrors to bounce the image around so I don’t know what periscope is supposed to have to do with that.
The whole point of the original iPhone was that you can use your finger as a pointer or a pencil, so why would you want to add a pencil to that especially on a small phone screen?
I think its because the light coming in is bent using a mirror and travels a distance inside the phone perpendicular to the direction it entered prior to hitting the sensor which is sort of like how a periscope works. now I know modern telescopes often use mirrors to redirect and focus light also but they tend (with exceptions) to be aligned in the direction the light entered the primary glass all the way to the sensor, ie. your eye or an astrophotography camera.
I’m good with a larger screen as long as it fits comfortably in my pocket.

Would you prefer the iPhone 15 Pro Mid size?
