Ah, so they're dropping the Pro version of the A15 chips to the base 14?

That's totally going to be the standard going forward.

Yup, more product differentiation. Just give your brother\sister your old clothes.

My wife is still on an XR and was planning to update this year, but it seems like now we get to decide if this new one is worth the $$$ or if we should save some cash and get her last year's model. EDIT: I guess it depends on the discounts for the old model.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Non-pro looks like what used to be the S cycle.

Is that notch any smaller than the 13's? Or are they saving that for Pro/Max models?

Told ya - it's going to be the most mediocre generation of iPhone ever. Wait until the 15.

Like you, I expect the 15 will the be the Jesus Phone I'm after, and will have satellite access and they'll kill that goddamned Notch once and for all.

I know someone here disagreed with my but I think the 15's going to be the one with USB-C finally. I've got a base 13 and I'm holding out until I get it.

Same! iPhone 15 will likely be my upgrade model.

The whole stuff about the better low light performance - that was for the non pro models right? That’s where my XR model kinda sucks comparatively.
