  I am actually quite excited on this iPhone 18 Pro. Seems to pack a a lot of exciting stuff. 2nm A20 Pro, C2. I wish they have N2 but I guess not. 2nd Generation Vapour Chamber. I thought I would have to wait another generation because Apple like to use new product features for two generation before moving on. And it seems this Vapour Chamber along…

  iPhone 18 Pros have a variable aperture lens on the main camera. This is definitely not the first time we've seen this (See: Samsung Galaxy S8/S9) But notably: These are much larger sensors than we had all those years ago, so the difference between f/1.8 and f/4 can potentially make a bigger diffe...

  I would love to see some "pro" features hit the Pro or Pro Max. Something I've wanted for a while is the ability to have more than 2 active eSIMs; I think a dual modem would be really cool, maybe with some features targeting users in poor cell coverage/ spotty service areas.Or feature Thunderbolt rather than normie USB-C so you can record 4/8K…

  Neat to see some pro controls like a Histogram, White Balance, Aperture, and Shutter speed come to iPhone 18 Pro...

  > I think a dual modem would be really cool, maybe with some features targeting users in poor cell coverage/ spotty service areas.Can already do iMessage over satellite. Most “data” is download and I predict some satellite service that sends basic broadcasts (traffic, news, Text-to-speech podcasts) squeezed into a few mbps by pointing your phone…

  I have no idea which iPhone version I have anymore. It doesn't feel as though it's missing anything, though.But I'd upgrade immediately if the new models truly offered better AI experience.Forgive my skepticism that Apple will get it right. Even the lauded latest version of Siri is far worse than the labs' offerings or Android at voice dictation…

  > eSIM-only models deliver up to 36 hours of video playback on iPhone 18 Pro and up to 45 hours of video playback on iPhone 18 Pro Max.That might convince me to upgrade. Not because I care about watching video for two days straight, but hopefully it means the battery is large enough that it'll last 5+ years before battery degradation becomes…

  There's a lot of misdirected complaining here, so some reminders:- Apple has this event because it generates buzz, which increases sales.- You do not need to watch the event.- You do not need to pay attention to anything about the event.- You do not need to buy the new device.

  That’s certainly an iPhone, alright.Apple basically need to release a new model every year to fit the phone upgrade cycle so I suppose it’s not that surprising to see one with so few compelling features. Maybe next year.
