Go hard girl, smash them servers once preorders open 😂 your money, spend it how you want. If you can justify upgrading every year, that’s all that matters.
Good advice.. from a shareholder? 😂

All jokes aside, I will get the iPhone 13 but I have very high confidence that the next iPhone 14 will look like the one in the YouTube video. Kind of disappointing that they leak the next one before you buy the unreleased one.

I wish, you buying me some shares? 😂

Leaks seem to be the norm these days, unreleased products that are years away, are getting leaked.
 
dont expect this next year...
And think about it how heavy the pro max already are
If they make the camera flush with its body that means the thickness will go around 10mm or more, that means more battery, that means more grams for an already big and heavy phone
So the pro max will be a nightmare from this point of view...Yes, it will look nice but still...
The normal pro , less weight and more compact but that thickness will still be there. The iphone 4 could have an 9mm thickness because it still was a small and light (by today standards) device
So again, this i dont think it will happen
 
I'm going to take every rumor posted by that very punchable face with a massive grain of salt.

So, to organize my thoughts:

  • The camera array looks super weird without the "bump" or surround - but maybe that's just because we're used to it. Doesn't Apple currently "bump" the cameras out because of the tech behind it (sensors, lenses, stabilizers, etc.)? I don't suspect any of that would go away any time soon.
  • Does it make sense to thin the phone, too, having added (supposedly) more features, when historically the iPhones of late have been getting thicker to account for larger batteries? Without much news of battery tech changing drastically and pushing out to consumer tech, it doesn't seem likely we'll see a significantly thinner phone soon.
  • And would the microSIM not be fully eSIM-ified next year? Feels like we're moving towards that.
  • Last item, why change the shape of the volume buttons to be (subjectively) harder to press (smaller), just to throw back to the iPhone 4? I don't see that one coming to fruition, sorry.
SO many questions.

"Exclusive photos" = renders
"SO many questions"

and one answer: This is all RENDERS based on an early prototype (which he claims to have seen). Nothing you see here is finalized.

Sorry to break it to you, but eSIM is not yet a standard, not even close, there's a lot of places that still use physical SIM cards and eSIM feature is not available there.

Yes, hence my statement '"Exclusive photos" = renders'. I doubt we see most of this come to light anyway.

eSIM is really the least important tidbit of this clickbaity "leak", but you have a point - I'm sure many countries haven't adapted/adopted the eSIM standard quite yet. Maybe it's time for Apple to make that transition easier?
 
I could see the camera bumps going away and titanium chassis but the hole punch and rounds buttons, I’m not buying that personally.. I think apple would work towards no hole and making the notch very small my opinion.

The only reason I’d be excited for the notch removal is to get my battery percentage back. Otherwise, it’s non-obtrusive for my usage.

Looks like a chunky little man. No thanks. I’ll keep my thin form factor with a bump any-day. We’ll see what happens next year, I have my doubts about this. Not as excited as others.
 
People will buy iPhones regardless of the leaks.
Of course. It’s like having a car. You need to buy one. Some buy more often than others. I think the issue is these clickbait artist who monetize with fancy graphics and headlines “iPhone 14 will blow you away.” That’s the problem. And like what happened at wwdc these experts were wrong about the m1x and the iPad Pro being finally a pro device. Max tech was guilty of hyping up the iPad Pro.

Leaks are information intentionally disclosed by parties working for or through partner entities for the source subject. this isn't a leak, this is just pure fabrication.
"Amateur blender Apple Fiction found in the wild!" would have better headed this post.
 
deliberately hyping-up an imaginary 'artists impression' to drive clicks to your site for ad revenue is disgraceful (though not illegal / fraudulent of course).

when do prototype phones ever look that finished? this is BS shared specifically this week to capture the most eyeballs & by falling for it we're only encouraging poor behaviour. having said that it looks great 😂 but I may as well send you an 'early design impression pic' of my hopefully next girlfriend cut n' pasted from GQ.

100% this. I wouldn't click that video with your devices
 
Would be awesome. That’s an ideal screen size. iPhone screen needs to be wider.
Can't stand narrow screens like on them bloatsung and android phones, hope apple never make them that narrow, reckon they'll keep the same screen size for a while, it'll get bigger once they release a foldable iPhone, 8" foldable iPhone please, take my money, car, house, right now. 😳😱😍😂

Yeah me neither. Long and narrow. Like bars of soap.

I got a buyer for my 12 pro max tonight. It'll be gone for a while until 13.
