This headline acts as if iPhones do not already use Samsung panels.
How tim cook feels after introducing 1 single new button in the new phone and saying it’s the best iphone yet:
I’ll upgrade when they add promotion to base models
by that time the base would cost 999 bucks anyways
I still think the 13 pro max is their best model honestly.
Doesn’t have any weird battery issues. Has the promotion oled, doesn’t have the stupid dynamic island. Don’t love the notch and I DO notice it in certain games. Dual esim and sim card. Has lightning/wireless charging. I have about 50 lightning cables and only time I use one is my 2 foot anker for apple car play.
I have the 13 Pro and think the Dynamic Island looks massive on other people’s phones. I have dark mode turned on always and the notch blends in most of the time
13 pro and pro max screen have a tendency to fail by going all white or all green
No more or less than any other one. 13 pro max was literally the most successful launch they’ve had.
Even as someone in the upgrade program I think I agree. I do kinda appreciate USB-C since I have a newer iPad, but otherwise there’s very little perceivable upgrades I’ve gotten going from a 13 to a 14 or 15. The screen is great on all of them, the performance is great on all of them, the cameras are great on all of them.
there’s very little perceivable upgrades
It’s almost like upgrading annually made even some sense like 6+ years ago
The next iPhone might have some improvements over the current iPhone? Shocking development!
I thought they said there won’t be any major hardware improvements
Why not QD OLED like on their TVs? Any particular reason for that?
I just want 120hz (or 90hz) on base models. That’s it.
Really hope that high frequency display rumor was true.
Won’t ever happen because it would cannibalize into the pro models
Not if the Pros have a 240hz display.
New features always roll downhill when the next new big thing hits the pro stuff. Happens in all of their product categories.
I think they’d do it once they have something else to upsell the Pro displays on, like microLED
I just want 240hz on the pro. 120 is great but could be smoother.
120 Hz is plenty smooth, the software needs to catch up I’d say. iOS hasn’t been performing as well as one would expect with the quality of hardware we’ve had in recent years.
If they do that there’s no reason to buy the pro anymore
That’s good for consumers. It forces Apple to find other features to add to make the Pro worth the purchase.
Hopefully. I now upgrade yearly with T-Mobile. Hoping for better battery life, my 15PM is no different from my 14PM in that regard.
I had leaned onto the corner of a rocky surface and my phone cracked in my pocket
Yeah I mean Pixel 8 Pro had the Samsung E7 display which was brighter and more efficient.
The problem with efficiency is that it doesn’t always translate to massive power savings. Most component manufacturers and phone makers translate those power savings into brighter screens. So if you ran the Pixel 8 Pro at a max of 1000-1100 nits like the iPhone, it would be incredibly efficient. The problem is they put those savings into pushing the display to 1500 nits. At those max power settings you end up consuming roughly just as much power as before.
I do think this past 2 years of displays was some sort of megapixel/nits war. The Pixel 7 Pro used the same old E4 OLED and pushed higher brightness at a huge expense of power consumption. The iPhone has been going year by year increases in brightness (thankfully Apple usually uses the latest display tech). The Pixel 8 Pro was really a star and its 2000 nits peak brightness is insane in outdoor conditions. OnePlus is out their touting their foldable with 2800 nits and promises more with the next gen of BOE display tech.
Like at some point does it really matter how much more we get? A solid 1200 nits display that sips 2W power is probably far more beneficial than a 2500 nits 10W monster.
2 months into the iPhone 15 launch with my XS Max still kicking. 10 more months, little buddy!
Just hoping it won’t make it worse for people with PWM sensitivity.
The main reason I didn’t move to the iPhone 15 Pro is the terrible PWM of the display. It’s literally giving me headache after watching it for 5 minutes in the store. I hope the 16’s display will be much better in that regard.
Know what would save power? A nice 5.4” display.
