The tele on the iPhone Pro is up to 77mm and down to f/2.8... but are the tele cameras now the same on the Pro and Pro Max? The old Pro was a 52mm f/2 and the Pro Max was a 65mm f/2.2. I can't find anywhere on the Apple website that is clear about this. If the normal Pro now has a 77mm tele, that might be worth an upgrade...

Pretty boring refresh if the only thing I am interested in over the 12 Pro Max is longer battery life. Mine gets fairly low by the end of the day. But can just slap a magsafe battery on it or whatever.

I should have waited with my broken rear end 6S, love the camera update and battery to the 13 Pro, drat. And I dropped my 12 Pro onto brick recently and damaged the frame with small dents so Apple would probably decimate the trade-in value

The only difference between the Pro and Pro Max is battery life and screen size now.

I know it's the ultimate in frivolous purchases but I'm gonna trade in my 12 Pro for a 13 Pro pretty much just for 120hz. Also I do a lot of photography with my phone so the incremental camera upgrades justify it... sort of.njsykora posted:Apple’s trying to phase out TouchID in favour of FaceID even though very few actual people prefer face over touch.

I might get the Pro Max just because my iPad Air is collecting dust and I might as well just get the bigger phone anyway. I have become accustomed to the size of the regular 12 though.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Curious as to what folks who are disappointed by this were expecting. Phones are a mature product now. Beyond faster processor, better camera, better screen, better battery, what else is there? Was hoping for an always on display since I don’t wear my Apple Watch too often. I figured TouchID was not likely at all but would have been a nice surprise. Overall I agree with you and I’m hoping that the days of seeing whatever new feature Ming-chi Kuo decided was absolutely going to be in the iPhone which then magically gets removed due to “production yields” are on their way out.

In a year where I wasn't expecting much innovation, I'm glad there was nothing that was a pleasant surprise so I'll stick with the XR another year. RC is out for iOS15 so I'll be hopping on that tonight, looking forward to the focus stuff based on what others wrote about in here. It does sound neat.

Not trying to say this is the case specifically with underscreen/powerbutton TouchID, but to be honest, given how mature the phone market segment is now, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple holds back some features just for future devices. SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Not me, give me FaceID any day. With a combination of being prone to clammy hands and living in a humid climate (Florida), TouchID often just doesn't work. Huh, most of my family lives in Florida and they're all using TouchID on their SE 2020s without much issue.

Fedule posted:I don't really want a 13 mini but I'm terrified there won't be a 14 mini and the 13 mini only exists through obligation. Apple finally released an iPhone in the Correct Size and everybody slept on it apparently. Nobody but Apple has the real sales numbers, and even by the unofficial ones the mini did well enough to become a recurring device, much like the 5C/SE/SE2020 thing. If the 13 Mini doesn't do well, don't expect a refresh every cycle or even every other cycle though.

Sgt. Cosgrove posted:As an XS user I was super hyped going into this to get a pro, now im not sure what to get, maybe just a watch so i can unlock my slow-rear end phone without moving my mask? I also have an XS and see no reason to upgrade. If yours is slow, maybe check the battery health, or  since it shouldn't be.

My XS still feels snappy enough, and the unlocking works fine with a mask too. Maybe you need to download more ram!

No one truly knows the future but current ~rumors~ suggest the 13 mini is the last of its kind so if you want a small powerful phone now's your chance.

Since it doesn't look like masks are going anywhere anytime soon, I'd gladly give up every other upgrade to have loving TouchID again. The last of inventory costs. Not disagreeing, just saying it’s probably to keep costs down / make more money. njsykora posted:Apple’s trying to phase out TouchID in favour of FaceID even though very few actual people prefer face over touch. This is incorrect , I’m fine with Face ID over Touch ID. Works amazingly. Yes, with a mask it isn’t as good unless you have an Apple Watch, but I thankfully have an Apple Watch. Apple makes really good phones, so in reality land you probably need to upgrade every 3-5 years. That said, I have upgraded every iPhone since the 4S, no reason to stop now.

Prolly gonna upgrade from my 11 pro. More than anything I’m finally getting to a point where 64gb is not enough, so 128gb is gonna be next. Better battery, optical zoom and it being blue are cool bonuses I guess. Anyone here do the upgrade program that comes with Apple Care?
