Other Let's hear your Wonderlust hot takes / bold predictions

[Allen_Wentz]

Apple always knows how to make their products & events compelling, even when changes are evolutionary.

The leaks around next week's 15 Pro announcement and the Wonderlust event in general have been underwhelming on the surface. Part of me hopes they have some surprises in store.

Let's have some fun speculating - drop your hot takes and bold predictions below...

...I'll start - a color for the Pro line that hasn't leaked and a tremendously impressive drop-resistance to they point they call the Pro "shatterproof" - with marketing heavily focusing on this aspect.

1) My curiosity is how will the iPhone 15 Pro interact with AVP, and what iPhone system resources should we be concerned about? Particularly mass storage, which we can adjust during ordering.

2) My wish is for an Apple Pencil operable with the iPhone Pro, but my track record with Apple on getting my wishes fulfilled is very poor.

My wish is that they fix that annoying bug in Smart Mailboxes in Mail, though I'll take a new iPhone

15-20% increase in battery life, I’m erring on the 15% side
no price increase on base models, but PRO models will have $100 increase
2000 nits on non-pro models

2000 nits peak brightness baby!.. YES

New 15, seems to be essentially LAST years 14 pro / max

Just once, it might be nice for the fun colors to be available to us Pro users. 🤬 Getting a tad sick of 3 shades of gray and one muted “color” as our options.

What was the trade in promo they had?

I use my 13/14 iPhone Pros like that sans case. No substantive damage, just a few tiny dings that I do not care about. The face remains 100%.

You missed the part where I said I don't like how it feels case-less. I don't like the camera bump, I don't like the squared edges, and I don't like that there isn't a raised lip around the screen.

AV1 support is a possibility, but it wouldn't be verbally announced. Just a quiet add-on.

I was thinking about this post when they verbally announced it. I wasn’t expecting it either, but it was spoken as “better for streaming”.

I'm hoping that's the case, but given they only did single press on the watch...

You were right!! My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined!

Yeah me too. I mean, really Apple, sometimes I feel like you still want to over-control things like it's 1995.
