With onboard AI functionality, enhanced user experience + further advancements in the camera, this series of iPhone is a must have.
Itās interesting you say that. I had the standard AirPod 2nd generation for several years and loved them. Unfortunately I recently lost them. I went to Officeworks and came out with the 3rd generation. They were hopeless for me; I couldnāt get them into my ears, and if I finally got them in, they squirmed their way out again within a minute or two. Utterly useless. Apple wouldnāt replace them. So I found some 2nd generation at JB, and Iāve gone back to using them and have a set of 3rd gen sitting idle. Iāve been using the Apple ear buds very happily since I bought my first classic iPod back about 15 years ago or more and never had any problems until they changed the design and made it much larger with the 3rd generation.
From what I can tell apples next major software update will require a min of iphone 15 pro.
So that model is probably the starting point to avoid it becoming obsolete in terms of new features.

Ha, I freaked out when some reported 10x zoom on the Pros. No, itās 0.5x to 5x.
Otherwise, much as already leaked but at least we now know more about the use of the capture button.
looks like 15ās have dropped from $1487 to $1249
but only from apple. maybe retailers donāt change until 20th when 16 is released?
The new phones look like great techā¦ but wake me up when they release a new SE
next March

Has anyone tried the Vision Pro? Was skeptical but did a a 30 min demo in store and was blown away. The iPhone 15 and subsequent models can capture 3D video that is pretty amazing to experience with the goggles. Movies are incredible, the interface through gestures highly developed and the fidelity is outstanding. Watching soccer and basketball games through the headset was a highlight for me.
@Humble_Minion is still hanging in there with an iPhone 4 - stop your grumbling!
Long running joke, HM is probably on an iPhone 8 by nowā¦

Iām sceptical about whether AI is of any use to me. My two-year contract on the iPhone 14 Pro has just expired.
Are we expecting any big iOS (or IPadOS) upgrades?
āHey Siri, tell chatGPT to list some good puns related to Sam Draperā¦ā
(Also looking forward to the carnage @scotty21 causes on this forum when he discovers he can generate images from the iPhoneā¦)

Iām going to get a 16 Pro. Iāve got a 12 at the moment and Iām running out of storage, so thatās one reason to change. The other is to get a better camera. Iām going to Greece next month and Iām not going to bother taking my camera; the last time I took it anywhere I didnāt use it but took pictures on the phone instead. The 16 Pro should have a much better camera than the 12 standard. I should be able to take delivery of the phone before I leave on the 1st.

Underwhelming hardware.
Minor upgrade from an iphone 15 pro
A new set of airpods which to me confuses them with airpod pro. (Hard to tell if the audio and anc is improved from the press release - just seems like the same chip in a slightly different form factor).
You would want to see the benefits of the ios upgrades which will need an iphone 15 pro or above. (āApple Intelligenceā).
I guess theres the substantially better zoom on the camera.
For those looking for a MacBook or Mini - the rumour is M4 powered devices in October.

Hardwares pivoting to being dead, with most of your computing power coming from the cloud
The services provided by the Cloud is not a new concept. Data Centres provided the same functionality as the Cloud. Hint: the cloud is hosted in Data Centres.
For the actual hardware - how do you display/interact with the cloud if you donāt have a device? The cloud is likely to do more grunt work, but you still need something to connect and get the data into your hands (laptop, phone or visual).

For companies its not new, for the household it is. devices will start to only be powerful enough to interphase with network computing
Hello person from, I dunno, 60 years ago.
Part of their argument is about doing the AI on the phone and not exposing your personal data to the world.
