A plus size SE would cannibalize sales of their newest models. To keep things simple and to manage their supply chain better, they don’t want too many “low end” in their lineup.

The 11 to me is not a worthwhile upgrade, mainly because the 12 adds 5G into the mix. I was considering a cheap 12 Pro Max as an upgrade from my 8 Plus (that I recently dropped and cracked the screen), until I found out they don’t have ProMotion display. Apple really needs to make their standard iPhone at least 90Hz, with the 120Hz saved for the Pro. It’s one of the main things that makes tech feel fast and premium, and even some budget Androids have moved up from 60Hz now.

[@leelanzini]

@@jernaugurgeh451 I agree. The 5G and OLED display make a huge difference. Aw that’s a shame about your 8 plus. If you didn’t, be sure you have a case and screen protector on. They really can save you. I heard the iPhone 16 lineup may bring promotion to every iPhone 16. But not official yet

@@leelanzini I’ve always used magnetic book style cases, so never bothered with a screen protector, and never got a scratch on it in 4 years. But the folding front cover of the one I am using got really worn and ratty, so I cut it off leaving just the protective plastic back cover. The crack I’ve got is big but really clean and I put a tempered glass screen protector on to make sure it doesn’t get worse, and it still works fine. I love my 8 Plus, and never understood the push towards getting rid of bezels, adding notches, and having rounded corners that eat into your screen display. Having a rectangle phone screen that is a standard 1920x1080 resolution is just perfect to me. And a physical Home button and bezels I can grip when i turn the phone sideways? **chefs kiss**

I've watched probably 30 different tech KZbinrs talk about iPhones in the past week since the event and not a single one has given the sensible rational advice you have in this video, most people should be considering the 13 and the 15. So many people have recommended moving from the 14 pro to the 15 pro or whatever other nonsense, I guarantee the majority of people who buy the pro iPhones will never use the extra features, they just want an expensive toy. In fact I bet if somebody swapped the cameras and the processor of the iPhone 15 pro with an iPhone 12 pro 95% of their users would never notice the difference.

[@paulu_]

As someone with a 12 mini, none of the new iPhones seem particularly attractive to me. Thanks to a sudden construction fault showing up, the whole body + battery was replaced free of charge, so it feels basically new. I’ll probably keep on using it for the next 2-3 years.

[@johnathanblade1]

Good video. The 13 is more than most people need. I know someone who just upgraded from their carrier deal, free phone to a XS Max, and even that is more than they need. The mini is gone until Apple relaunches it in 5 years as a legacy design. You need to adjust your LUFs. On my podcast I rarely think about editing loudness until after I have published. It often sounds like this.

[@yotam6x7]

To be honest the main thing I'd recommend today about the 15 would have to be longevity. While Apple has no issue selling the 3 year old 13 that works well now, it'll probably last less time compared to the 15 due to software support- though it might get an extra year due to the 14 having the same processor. We'll just have to wait and see

I honestly think the best idea for them to bring the “Mini” back is to make the iPhone 16 start at a 5.7 inch screen size. And the iPhone 16 Plus 6.68 Inch screen size. This way people who get the regular won’t know it’s “mini” and think “Hey this is the new normal”. And if they want a bigger phone they can get the Plus model - which would be basically an inch larger. Because I wonder if it was a mind game as to why the mini failed. Maybe people thought “Oh it’s mini it’s cheaper and the regular is better!” And the plus currently isn’t that much larger so people be like “Ummm why should I spend more for something that’s not even an inch bigger.” So this gives two phone sizes - smaller and larger - on the “regular” side. Drew - I truly hope Apple listens to this comment and makes this a thing for you!!! I’m just gonna stay with my 15 Pro for three+ years and see what happens then!!!

@@coolfool183 Most people update because they want to, not because they NEED to, therefore futureproofing is mostly bs in this particular case.. I have an iphone 11, a phone that came out in 2019, I can still see myself using it for another two years, other people would've updated to a pro max because of the cameras, battery, size, there's always a reason..

[@CS-pg4go]

Isnt future proofing as simple as buying a 256gb storage now instead of a 128gb variant to "future proof" yourself down the line?

I just got an iPhone 14 it’s my very first iPhone and I don’t really care if it’s the same as the “13”

[@tvrunn]

I went from the base iPhone 11 to the 13 Pro Max (wanted the bigger OLED 120hz screen) a couple years ago. I loved my 11, it was the my first phone which I payed outright for in the first week of release. It started to have problems a couple years into owning it, the ear piece speaker was very muted, as well as the bottom facing speaker, screen had burn-in issues, and the battery life was just not doing it for me (less than 4 hours of screen-on time). A lot of people swear by the 11, I don't know, maybe I just got a lemon. The 13 Pro Max has been great for the past 2 years, with the only real problem I've noticed recently is the battery drains quicker after updating to iOS 17 (although, don't judge me, still average 8-10 hours of screen time). I did contemplate upgrading again, but I decided against it, hopefully this phone will last me another few years. Like someone else said, I think the 13 was the best iPhone of the past 5-6 years

HOW DID YOU KNOWWW I REALLY WANTED A VIDEO LIKE THIS

[@tylerbarr6159]

My prediction is that the next SE comes in the mini chassis. I think that may be why they killed the 13 mini now. and honestly, that'd be sick. But this purely my hopeful prediction based on nothing :P I've loved my 13 mini, but my 15 is already on pre-order.

[@cherisebanks3337]

I’m staying with my iPhone 14 pro max my battery health is still at 100% and my battery last all day and although the 15 pro max has nice upgrades it’s too similar to what I have already so I will be waiting for the iPhone 16 and 17 to upgrade 🍎📱💻

I have the 14 it’s a decent. But QUESTION OF THE DAY: What iPhone design do you prefer? Dynamic island, notch or home button?

[@johnbutler2780]

Home button. I like to press stuff.

[@spoo0901]

home button is iconic but dynamic island is just 🤌

[@m._anuDR]

notch, but only the smaller notch

[@iiKhaled0]

I like the notch more, especially the 13 notes where its small, the Dynamic Island just looks off to me

I dont really get people if you have a 13 or 14 and u You want a 15pro man just for the 48 megapixle just use that money to buy a real camera 📷

Rumored in 2024 Apple is releasing a new iPad with M3, up to 24GB RAM, 2TB storage and 18 AMOLED display. It will be available in brilliant colors including Product Red. It will be called the MaxiPad 24 Plus. 😛

I have the 14 and I have been saving up for six months to get this new iPhone I plan to get the 15 hopefully on Friday

[@bchery1]

Keep the 14 and save your money for something else. They are practically the same phone

[@Alexpsy1]

I always urge people to go for the older phone but for only $200 you get the 15 since it got some nice upgrades this year. You're also forgetting an important difference. 6GB of RAM is a big upgrade especially for future proof. For me the best iPhone to buy right now is a perfect used 13 pro. It's better than both for about the same price. And finally...yes, bring back the fucking mini!

[@ihaveasmallpp]

I have an 11 pro max since launch and I'll probably use my 15 for just as long, will the 15 plus have as much longevity as the 15 pro max?

[@matttroughton7391]

It’s going to suck when you need to borrow a charger at a hospital or something, because some will have lightening or USB-C and not both.

[@TailosiveTech]

It’s already like that now with android vs iOS. In a few years all phones will be usbc tho

[@johnbutler2780]

Most hospitals in us have both for free at charging stations. Just have to look for one or ask. Atleast the children’s hospital in Akron Ohio does. Not exactly a big city hospital. It’s is a big hospital tho. But they have a lot of charging stations through the place 😊

[@jonatanjakobsson5821]

When I got my 14 Pro Max I thought that I would use the Dynamic Island a lot more but I rarely press it. So it feels like the Dynamic Island has been over hyped. But of course, I never had any problems with the notch.

[@BADIHSALMAN]

“White but you have blue in the back of your head” 😂

[@goneghosted]

Apple probably took away the 13 mini not only because of poor sales, but maybe because that new iPhone SE is coming with the body of a mini. Just my prediction and speculation.

[@ProPrince]

i think the new se will be built like the xr

[@HiFiInsider]

I wish Apple made 15 mini.

[@shauncameron8390]

Apple missed their chance at making a mini pro phone.

[@jayyycrawford23]

Bought myself the 15 and wife the 13. They both are really good phones. Since I had the Apple ecosystem it’s great to have two cords instead of three with my previous 13 also cool to charge my watch and AirPods from my phone

[@halami2149]

I still stand by the fact that 6 GB ram makes a huge difference over 4. Unless you close your apps all the time 🫠 The 12 pro and newer have 6, the 14 and newer have 6. That’s one thing 14 has over 13. But then again, 12 or 13 pro would suffice over a regular 14 sooo 🙃

[@acranston9818]

I don't agree, but to each their own. Sure, having more ram might be nice if you're particularly heavy on multitasking, but it should never be the main deciding factor. Refresh rate, display, battery, and camera improvements are much more important and noticeable than ram.

[@halami2149]

@@acranston9818 I was constantly waiting for my apps to reload, at work. People waiting on me because I’m trying to look something up, but the low ram made it force closed. It was a frustrating every single day

[@HVDynamo]

@@acranston9818 I'd agree with most of that but refresh rate. I'll take more RAM over refresh rate any day. 120Hz is nice, but my 60Hz 12 Pro looks fine and feels smooth. I'd rather not deal with apps reloading all the time over a slightly smoother screen.

[@kev2427]

I know this is off topic, but I’ve ordered the 15…..I currently have the 12…..I was gonna give my mom the 12….she currently has the 8, will it be a decent upgrade for her?

[@xtaylorxg]

YES. Going from the 8 to the 11 would be good so the 12 is better. I’d just check your battery health, and if it is in the 80s, it could be worth getting a new battery to make the phone feel new. If it drops below 80, the phone will recommend that itself.

[@lifeisshrt7929]

Yeah that’s a good upgrade for her, she’ll appreciate the bigger screen, OLED display, better cameras & 5G

[@jecksonng]

Alot people will focuz on the 13pros or 12pros. The price and the spec is still top notch. Battery last better than 14pro. 15s are too expensive.
