Historically, it’s been iPhone adopts new recording resolution tier, then some iPads too, then AppleTV. I would expect the same this time.
Notice how new iPhones can capture spatial video but the “screen” on which to watch it is coming months from now.
Yeah I expect if Vision is going to be what Apple are betting on that it will get innovations first. 8K video will probably come to Vision before Apple TV. Why even buy an 8K TV if 8K will one day come to an affordable Vision/Meta product..

Because watching home movies shot on phones and iPads is often a group event. Family gathers and somebody fires up little Jimmy’s first steps or Christmas 2011 or that last vacation trip for others to see and enjoy (or be bored).
Solo watching on Vpro will also be an option- and I lean quite positive on the whole Vpro concept myself- but I don’t foresee it replacing televisions. One is much better for group experiences. The other is a nice option for soloists… especially mobile soloists away from home or easy access to a big screen playing what they want to watch.

Even taller displays? Blimey the current ones are so ridiculously tall they test pocket depth to absolute limits. Enough with the bloat, these are supposed to be portable.
iPad Mini with cellular service is the new iPhone Pro Max for the modern cell phone user, I already switched from iPhone Pro Max 6.7 and never looked back.
It opened such endless possibilities and unlocked my true potential as a human being and a creator, Now I feel totally empowered and free again. I also grew 3-4 inches and lost 20 pounds, by just switching to iPad Mini. You too should try it.
I'm all-in on seeing 8K HDR video capabilities in my pocket! Make that 8K 60P aaand 4K 240P while we're at it!
For those of us looking to shoot in the highest fidelity, highest resolution, widest-available dynamic range and widest-available color gamut, such capabilities in iPhone 16 would be most welcome! Bring it on, Tim!
Why? Because tv is often a social activity; neither the wife or I really watch tv unless we're watching it together and I tend to watch hockey with friends. Not everyone sits alone all hours of the day.
Neither of us have any interest in VR goggles whatsoever, and people look like a toolbag wearing one.

Life panders to morons but can still be enjoyable; there is no need to be an elitist. 90% of my idle entertainment is reading or the outdoors.
No interest in gaming, other than board and card games.
Its to large.
to me the XS at 5.8" was the perfect size. There are many of us who don't want to use 3-4 hands to use a single phone.
Those who like larger phones and have bigger hands or like using 2 hands on a device are fine with the 6.7"
But i know more than a few people who switched from the pro/max to something like a zflip 5 due to the width and size of the phones getting to be to much for them and they wanted something comfortable.
Larger sizes will push "" some "" people away and if anyone wants to deny that they are crazy.
I know a few who went from the pro down to a mini or a SE purely due to size as well.to me Increasing the width of the phone is off the table.
Blasting an entire medium like that makes little sense. “Television” refers to the delivery system. The content is as varied as any other segment. Consider these:
“Radio panders to morons.”
“Newspapers pander to morons.”
Neither statement means much due to the fact that radio and news encompass so many kinds of disparate content. Same deal with television. No doubt a lot of the content panders to morons. But using that fact to discount the entire medium is kind of pointless. Anyone who wants to consume content that doesn’t pander to morons simply needs to be more discerning about what he/she/they choose to watch.
Right. It isn’t approaching iPad mini due to the width but the Pro Max is already at the upper limit of usability/portability.
And isn’t it curious how Apple went through a period of making things smaller and smaller until customers were like “Holy crap! WAY too small!!” Now we’re in the opposite scenario. Bigger and bigger and bigger until customers are all “Holy crap! WAY too big!!”
I remember when all Windows Phone's had shutter buttons! Truly hope this is coming because that was such a nice feature to quickly capture photos without the need to use the touchscreen.
Between this and iOS's widgets, starting to not miss Windows Phone that much anymore.

Now that would be a feature worth buying a new phone get rid of that silly blank spot in the screen
Your whole family can watch the same TV at the same time. By the time there are affordable 8K headsets, there will be affordance 8K TVs.
Wow this was really taken out of context. It was referring to a 6.1” going to 6.3”.
Why are you picking on Apple about this. This is driven by industry trends not a single company.
