I would die for a green Pro Max. I hate how they deal with their colors, where only the consumer ones get the good colors.
My iPhone 11 Pro is the green one from that year. Still a great phone, although I can feel that it's seriously memory constrained. I'm finally ready to upgrade.

#73Boo, hiss. No more physical SIM support in Canada. I tried to go eSim only, but moving an eSim from one phone to another is a huge PITA and something I do regularly for travel.

#74I get a new iPhone as a work phone bi-yearly, and get to pick the model, with co-pay for anything above the most basic one (currently 16E). In a month or so, it'll be that time again. Last time I went with the non-Pro option was 6 years ago with the 11. Back then I regretted it, it was a clear downgrade from my previous iPhone X (which I consider the first "Pro" iPhone) - largely because of the screen, 11's LCD reall…
doesn't lidar help with closeup focusing? I got lots of blurry closeups on older iphones.

28 years later was filmed using the iPhone 15 as the sensor/capture device.
IIRC, iPhones (and every other smartphone) records variable frame rate videos (VFR), whereas professional cameras can record constant frame rate videos (CFR). I think that VFR videos need to be re-encoded into CFR videos in order to be able to work with all the footage shot by different devices. It sounds to me like with the Genlock feature, it could actually be possible to record CFR videos on an iPhone and also syn…

The looks are what they are, but if that wide shelf will mean the phone doesn't wobble when placed on a table, that is a good usability improvement. One of the small things I missed when moving from a Pixel 6 to an iPhone was the ability to not feel compelled to pick it up in order to use it.
It looks like the camera lenses are still raised above the bump. Wobbles look like they remain!

Why is that? White is the best color because it absorbs the least heat when exposed in the sun.
If you are just putting it in a case, white will more visibly show the accumulated grime. But the color doesn't matter as much in that scenario anyway.

#78Liquid Glass design + This lineup is a middle-finger to ergonomics and accessibility.
I just want a non distractive phone with good battery life. E-Paper screen, compact format, yet still great cameras - maybe LoRa capability for Meshtastic / Meshcore, embedded swiss army knife.

#80Kind of surprised by how ugly the pro looks. I can deal with wide the "plateau", but that cutout looks bad. If I were to buy one it'd be the first phone I keep in a case. See: https://x.com/neilcybart/status/1965502456886100389
