I want the iPhone 16 Pro to get Smaller!
Great ... will need even deeper pockets
Renowned leaker Ho Ming Vase claims that bezels will be back on the Pro, Pro lite, and Pro Max Ultra variants, but not on the standard iPhone 18.
Same. Never liked that taller but not wider aspect radio on samsung phones either
It will get X% wider and Y% taller as you want, just with 0<X<Y. 😉
I really, really, really don't want a larger phone than the iPhone 14 Pro I currently use. That's more than large enough, thanks.
This is just the first step. They are getting tall to the point that when foldable technology is perfect/mastered the whole picture becomes clearer. That way it gets wider but can fold back to a pocket size.
What a dramatic upgrade from my iPhone X the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be?
Oh Apple, you make it too easy for others to make fun of you.
Talk about getting ahead of ourselves! We're not just guessing iPhone 15 anymore, we're crafting sagas for the iPhone 16 and 17!
iPhone 11 $699
iPhone 12 mini $699
iPhone 12 $799
iPhone 14 $799
iPhone 14 plus $899
Profit, with iPhone ASP in the US now at $988. And by articles here, Tim Cook doesn’t plan to add ProMotion/AOD/256GB base storage to the non-pro models any time soon.
Why would I use an unsupported iPhone until 2038? The iPhone X will be supported until late 2025 with security updates. So I am maxing out the value of my purchase. If Apple says its still supported and it happens to be my money in my checking account, shouldn't be hard for me to decide when to upgrade. Posting on Macrumors and taking pictures of flowers doesn't really require the latest and greatest.
19.6:9 instead of 19.5:9 it means wider not taller
Sony has a taller aspect ratio with its 21:9 ratio
Sony has a taller aspect ratio with its 21:9 ratio
The difference between 19.5:9 and 19.6:9 aspect ratio is actually pretty small (not surprising). I actually think I like this change (still would have preferred 19.5:9). The important thing is that with the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max we'll regain the vertical space lost to the dynamic island in the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Based on this (if the rumor is actually correct) I’m happy to wait for the iPhone 16 Pro Max/Ultra.
Are you kidding? iPhone 13 Pro Max for you will already be a big fat upgrade from X.
