Apple Iphone 16

[mich]

Well now Apple is taking in pre-orders for Iphone 16 tomorrow. Some new things on it is the a larger display, a new Camera Control button, a longer life for battery, and a A18 chip.
It is going to be very fast, and I love the apple products. But I can not want to pay $1000 for a cell phone. Is anyone going to buy it?

I'm going to wait until everything settles down and the price drops. But the phone is good, the speed is increased and so on. But the question is, did they round the edges or did it seem to me?

[magistrator]

I don't see anything special about the new model, the cameras have shifted and everything is visual. I expected more.

[EdinboroSc]

When will prices start to fall for it?

[PonderingCuriosity]

Still no better than good ol' Google Pixel.

[Zusje]

Im always wait to version Pro / Pro Max.

[mich]

Well for the price drop we are going to need to wait for it. I do not know if it will have a price drop cause it is still so new. And there is people that will want to pay any price for the new phone.

And how is Google better? Please tell me the reasons.

[JackyRyan]

Do I think to buy or not, are there many differences from 15?

[surovichenko]

As soon as the price drops, I will buy. I'm not a fan of the iPhone, but I just love good, high-speed and high-quality devices.

Sadly that I still has Iphone 8+ when the world is using almost doubled than this model , but I am still proud of using this phone because my battery is still 100% health and not giving me issue since day one (or maybe I just know how to use it properly)

The iPhone 8 is like the iPhone 5, it's a workhorse and the design is great. When I was choosing between 11 and SE, I bought the SE, because I really like the design of the 8th model.

Who bought this miracle phone?

Hey, guys, a brilliant idea just crossed my mind!

You remember how Apple decided with iPhone 7 that they no longer need headphone jacks, right? With iPhone 12 IIRC, they decided that shipping chargers is no longer required, too.

I guess I can see where it is going. First they removed the jack, then the chargers. The next thing they'll remove will probably be the frontal camera, then the fingerprint sensor and so on...

...and then, to own an iPhone, you will have to build it from scratch. And install Gentoo onboard.

That's great! Though I doubt that an average iPhone owner could install Gentoo, at least they would be able to construct their phone from scratch. Such a strategy may also let Apple cut costs on the manual factory labor they buy in China, which will be good for the US from the geopolitical standpoint since less money will go to China, and for the planet since less manual factory labor means less global warming. Everyone wins! Can't wait until they remove the GSM module from the iPhone 30!

No, but they can limit the functionality and offer it only for a fee.

I will order 16 pro for myself soon, it is very convenient through trade in.

[LilliPutten]

I like the new iOS more, namely this icon editing, it is convenient.

[LibertyMask]

I think that buy a Apple smartphone have sense if you are a graphic designer or a musician. Buy a Apple smartphone without give it a proffesional use is only vanity.

I ain't buying a phone I can't install Gentoo on for free!
