Yes. It’s going to be marginally better and have a better camera.

I don’t even want the music on the video but it’s annoying AF that it stops if I want to record some dumb poo poo.

Yeah this is kinda annoying and I wish the same for no particular reason other than it’s dumb that it pauses it.

Yeah and like 80% of the time it will resume playing but then sometimes it doesn't.

Its mostly annoying at gym when I want to record something but I can't listen to my music.

Oh well I'm getting a new phone no matter what they release tomorrow.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
The new iPhone will have a faster SoC so that it can render the tracking information and battery health percentage faster. That alone makes it worth it.

Alternatively just get the Solana Saga it’s a phone for buttcoins

For anyone like me who is on a prepaid carrier looking to do Apple financing, don't forget you can't anymore unless you are with any of the big 3. There may be a workaround by using a friend's account but I'm not sure if that fucks up their billing.

Anyways, Best Buy does offer financing up to 24 months on unlocked phones $650 and up. No idea how good their trade in deals are, however.

Apple’s way of saying you should not be recording video at the gym. HTH.

I’m hopeful that they’ll bring the AirPods-sticks-as-volume-sliders technology down to the regular AirPods and release a usb-c case along with it.

If you record a video by holding down the shutter on Photo it keeps the music playing for me.

Scratch one more for the "CarPlay is starting music on connection when it shouldn't" list.
If someone has any idea on how to disable it, I would love to hear it.

This is how my car works (Alpine ilx-107 unit)
If you previously turned the car off with music playing, it will resume automatically on startup. If you pause the music before you turn the car off, it starts up paused. I usually pause my music when I get home so I don't have Bolt Thrower blasting when the rest of my family gets in the car.

I uninstalled music.app. I use Spotify but still had some Apple music purchases music.app would try to play.

The mini is the best phone they make. I have a 12, just wish the camera was “pro”. Going to have to replace the battery soon on mine.
