I would have had they included the ultramarincolor for pro models.

If my mind wasn’t focused on getting the Pro Max model, I’d really consider the iPhone 16 Plus. I was impressed with how it was presented. It’s a beast of a phone in my opinion.

I feel the same way, I almost picked up a black iPhone 15 plus last year, but needed 1tb.

Nope. My 15 PM batt health is still at 100 and I don't use Apple Intelligence. Upgrading would be foolish.

The older I get the more I realize how big of a scam the annual tech cycle is. It started with PCs in the 90s and now has taken over every electronic device we use in our daily lives. Phones, tablets, laptops, headphones, earbuds, smart watches, smart scales, etc. Incremental improvements every year to get you to spend your money. IT IS A SCAM!!!

I wouldn’t call it a scam, but it’s definitely a tactic to get us to buy for sure. If the product is perfect then they’d only sell it to a customer once, unless it breaks, therefore, Sellers want reoccurring sales. That’s what happens when you trade publicly and have to answer to stockholders.

There’s the fact that improvements have gotten much smaller with time. And with time, we will reach a point where there won’t be any anymore.

Believing that Apple releasing an iPhone every year is fraudulent is hilarious.

Apple has over 1.6 billion iPhone users and manufactures 160-200 million iPhones a year.

Clearly if Apple was expecting to sell an iPhone every year to ALL iPhone users they would need to start manufacturing more iPhones.

In year 17 of iPhones, it probably became "SCAM" around year 15. We're now at the point where the smartphone market has matured. Hardware innovation is all but stagnant. That'e why Apple and others is leaning in on AI. Saying that you need a 15 or a 16 Pro to use the AI features....Now that's a scam.
