Probably gonna upgrade from my iPhone 11 to a 16 Pro, seems like a good time to make the jump (also I'd need a battery replacement anyway and I rather spend that money on the new phone)
How much would it cost to have the battery replaced?
But in comparison it would be also more than half the price you could sell an iPhone 11 nowadays
They mention battery life in this release 11 times without saying how long the battery will last. Please Apple, even just a typical usage number would be great. It's been many generations since I've had an Apple device, and each year they release a new one I try figure out how long the battery lasts, to no avail. Nobody I know has bought a Max Pro either. With Apple, you never know, it could still be 10 hours battery…
They said 16 Pro Max having the best battery life ever without actually comparing to 15 Plus which was the previous battery king.

The Pro variant is unusually poorly differentiated from the base model this cycle: https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/ The 13 Pro had ProMotion, 14 Pro had Dynamic Island and Always On display, the 15 Pro had USB-C and the Action Button, the 16 Pro...has maybe slightly faster AI? 4k120fps video? USB-C w/ USB 3? Not things most people would care about. ProMotion/Always On is still limited to the Pro models which is…
> ProMotion/Always On is still limited to the Pro models Always On is on the base model this year too
Always On depends on ProMotion for 1Hz refresh.

When you get older, the photos aren’t for you, they’re for the descendants of you and your siblings, and their communities during funerals etc. It sounds like you needed a healthy correction from too much sharing and organizing, but just a few shots will be treasured.
I think that for every deceased family member there’s one random photo in a frame somewhere in the house. We have piles and piles of old photo albums from family that has passed. Those will never get looked at again. Photos are incredibly devalued now.

I'm a technically sophisticated user, and I don't want a new phone. I would almost certainly like it less than my current four year old phone. It would have a faster CPU, more RAM, and more storage, but it's rare I run into any of those limits. It would have a better camera than my current phone, but it would still be worse than my Olympus. It would have a bigger screen, but I wouldn't have a bigger hand and that wou…
> It would have a better camera than my current phone, but it would still be worse than my Olympus. This is actually one of the reasons why I changed my phone last year. I don't know about your Olympus, but mine doesn't fit in my jeans pocket, even though it's one of the smaller models. I don't always what to carry a dedicated camera with me, even though I bought a m4/3 specifically because of how portable it was. Bu…
I'll admit to occasionally contemplating a Ricoh GR III, which is quite pocketable.
I'm conflicted. It's absolutely stunning what smartphones can do these days and Apple makes an excellent product. It feels ungrateful and cynical to keep calling new models "boring". The reality though is that normie needs were accomplished several generations ago. I'll use my girlfriend as a sample of such user. She can't tell the difference between LCD and OLED nor would she notice Pro-motion. You can add a million…
>The reality though is that normie needs were accomplished several generations ago. I'll use my girlfriend as a sample of such user. >She can't tell the difference between LCD and OLED nor would she notice Pro-motion. I recently had a similar realization. Last year I finally bit the bullet and decided to build out a decent 'home office' setup. I have a tendency to research something to death before I make a purchase.…

The real advancements majority of users would notice: - Get rid of green text when messaging Android phones - More battery life. - Better camera (arguably already achieved) - lesser issue but fix the stupid bugs with storage/duplication with pictures and messages. I am already paying for a TB level plan with iCloud. How can my phone possibly run out of storage? That’s it. All the AI stuff is marginal at best and usel…
> Better camera (arguably already achieved) I feel the later generation of phones went back a bit as they have more aggressive processing. It can work great, but the hit or miss ratio is worse, in particular noise processing can be way off. That's crazy the budget Pixel a lone gets overall better photos than a top of the line iPhone.
I preferred it when they saved the original and processed photos. Now there is no way to turn it off.
Worst part for me is when I get to see a perfect picture that gets processed a blink later and can never be recovered.
