Don’t understand why some super-duper Face ID sensor needs to be an add-on casing. I’m sure Apple had the iPhone 13 schematics all laid out by late 2020 and it was too late to add to the phone itself, but it’s hacky.
It was add-on casing for testing with iPhone 12s (see around the 3 minute mark in the video); the new sensors will be integrated into the smaller notch on the iP13.
Just to piggy back on a previous comment. It's only for testing purposes but the notch is definitely reducing this year. I hope we get to see the battery % at all times now.
Silly question, but I'm having such a hard time deciding. I have an XS and I'm contemplating going with the 13 Pro Max. Has anyone ever gone to a bigger model, hated it and then went back to a smaller model? Or is it more like once you go with the bigger phone you wonder why you never did it sooner type thing?
Just wanting to piggyback off of this as I'm looking to make this exact same move (XS to 13 Pro Max) so would love to know this too
I was really nervous when I jumped to the 7 Plus. Because I carry my phone in my front pocket, I actually went to the Apple Store wearing different pairs of pants to make sure the 7 Plus would fit and not be restrictive. I always had to tell security I wasn't pocketing the phones to run off with them, I just needed to be sure I could still move. Once it passed that test, I graduated to the biggest screen possible and never looked back.
The only problem with moving to a bigger screen is that it ruined small screens for me. My partner has the SE, and it feels like a toy.
There are a million different opinions on this.
You just won't know until you try. The good news is, if you're in the US, you have 14 days to take it for a spin and return it if it's too big.
Personally, I went bigger with the 6+ and never looked back.
Ahh! This was a very long month and August is almost over... It would be awesome if we receive iPhone event invites by end of this week, haha!
The best month of the year, September is almost here. Getting very anxious and excited

Hi everyone!! Ready for the excitement again! Good to see some familiar faces here 😊
Is there any more news about the iPhone upgrade program and what might happen this year? Since the 12's were a month later...I had seen chatter about hoping Apple would allow an 11-month upgrade vice having to wait the full year. The pessimist in me says that if we want a launch day phone, we'll have to pay for that 12th month, even though we'll be handing off our phone at the 11 month point - just for the sake of what the signed iPhone Upgrade agreement says in its written word.
This well written article may help.
You will regardless be able to upgrade even next year. For any situation, your new update qualification date will be constrained by the starting date of your new iPhone Upgrade Program loan. Note that you are able to upgrade after 6 months in the program, as long as you have made what might measure up to somewhere near 12 payments.

super excited for this year! Glad to see some familiar faces! Let’s get this iPhone launch goin.
I’m all in for the pro models this year for me and my family!! Last year I gave them all four options to choose from. Quickly dismissed the mini but kept the other three. This year. Nope. Only those two options
I'm looking forward to upgrading from my 11 Pro, most likely to a 13 Pro Max. My last supersized phone was the 6s Plus and I find myself craving additional screen real estate sometimes. I haven't completely made up my mind yet; fortunately, I still have a couple of weeks to think about it.
I don’t think we’ll see widespread shortages. Especially after a few weeks, I’d think inventories should be solid.
The chip shortage is the wildcard. But Apple has more leverage than anyone, and this is their most important product. I don’t think we’ll see much impact there.
(I’m not an Apple analyst, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.)
I used to rock an XS but since 3 weeks ago I rolled back to an iPhone 8 (gave my XS to someone else). I considered the Mini but after going back to the 8, I realize I can't really do smaller screen anymore (I still think iPhone X was the best size ever). So looking for a 13 Pro this time around for myself.
I see my storage increasing and want to make sure I don't have to worry about space.
That is correct sir! Hoping the invites go out on upcoming Tuesday, September 7th, 2021.
5 more days to go.
