If I were Apple I would do something similar to yours, but with fewer models.

1- iPhone SE. 499$/549€ . 128GB/256GB. 6.1” OLED display with narrow notch (that of iPhone 13/14) and 120Hz. iPhone 13/14 chassis. Single 48MP camera with 2X “optical” zoom. A18 and 8GB RAM. USB-C and MagSafe. Colors: black/white/Product(RED).

2- iPhone (2025/6,3"). 699$/749€.128/256/512GB. 6,3” OLED screen and 120hz. Slim design (6.9mm) with the new high-density batteries that equip Vivo's Chinese devices. Dual 48MP camera (with Macro and 2X “optical” function). A19 and 12GB of RAM. USB-C 3.1 and MagSafe with 30W fast charging. Colors: black/white/blue/pink/yellow/Product(RED).

iPhone Pro (2025/6.9"). 999$/1099€. 256/512/1/2TB. 6.9” OLED and 144Hz display and 1mm bezels. Thinner design (7.9mm) with new high-density batteries. Triple camera (1” 50MP main with 2X ‘optical’ zoom, 50MP ultra wide-angle with larger focal aperture and larger sensor and a 50MP 5X telephoto lens with up to 10X ‘optical’ quality). A19Pro and 16GB RAM. USB-C 3.1 Thunderbolt 3.1 and MagSafe with 45W fast charging. Colors: black/white/gold/gold/blue/green.

I would remove the camera button, keep the action button on all.

Would replicate that range on all other products.

SE range: chassis of the preceding models, but with improved state-of-the-art internal components at an affordable price.

Normal” range. Apple's flagship product range. Fresh designs with bright, eye-catching colors and the latest hardware features. High price, but “ manageable ”.

Pro” range. The range of products with absolutely all the latest hardware features, prioritizing hardware over pure design, no matter if they were fatter or heavier. High prices, according to the hardware they are equipped with.

iPad SE (the current entry level iPad)/iPad (2025/10.9“)/iPad Pro (2025/12.9”)
MacBook SE (basic MacBook Air)/MacBook (current MacBook Air, with 120hz, thinner bezels and latest chip)/MacBook Pro
iMac/Mac SE/Macintosh (Mac Studio)/Mac Pro
Studio Display/Studio Display Pro
Apple Watch SE/Apple Watch (2025)/Apple Watch Pro (Ultra)
AirPods SE/AirPods/AirPods Pro (The Max would eliminate them, seeing how the product is being treated).
Apple TV/Apple TV Pro (an Apple TV with an integrated HomePod as in a soundbar and Apple Intelligence).
HomePod SE (mini)/HomePod/HomePod Pro (with the articulating arm and screen).

Sony released their Xperis Pro-i phone a couple of years back that has a 1" sensor coupled with a dual f2-4 aperture.

That is a 1" sensor, and quite impressive they managed to get the phone fairly slim, but an APS C sensor is double the size, you would need to increase the thickness substantially of the 16 Pro Max as well as include a lens large enough to get enough photons to the large APS C sensor. Apple can do a lot of things, but they cannot bend the laws of physics.

Would love to see this become a reality! I re-activated my forums account just to say this! 😆

The post last page was quite right: the lens could only access 60% of it. Still, if you were the sort of photographer who can tweak the deep settings it took images better than any AI-processing could manage.

This can easily fit in my pocket. Basically I want a phone with that on the backside. If Sony ever does that I’d totally buy one and use it as a second phone. I’d like to see what Google’s Astro mode cam could do on something like that, I imagine it would be pretty incredible. IMG_7879.jpeg
