120hz is the big one for me, but I dont trust the 1st gen implementation and how it will affect the battery, so i will wait to see how it is and then buy the 2022 model.

Outside of that though, from what ive seen in leaks there's nothing else major coming this year

Smaller notch, minor spec bump, improved cameras etc. Typical ‘S’ upgrade on the iPhone 12.

We hit peek smart phone years ago so have low expectations of anything revolutionary.

The only ‘wow’ upgrade your going to get is spending £1500 on a galaxy fold these days.

My wife is still running a 6S+ and it’s more than sufficient still. It doesn’t have the sharpest camera but it’s more than fine for social media nonsense and we browsing/apps are fine. She doesn’t game on her phone which is what most normal people need the extra power for.

I’m sorry but who wants a galaxy fold? If you’re going to spend that money on a phone just get an iPhone

It's not first gen - Androids have had LTPO panels for a couple of years now. As for battery life I used to get 9-10 hours screen on time on my old Galaxy S20 FE which was 120hz and no LTPO panel. The claims of excess battery drain are exaggerated.

1st gen for apple I meant. Usually new tech in phones are not always ideal and have little issues here and there. I have a 12 pro anyway, so im in no rush to upgrade.

Interesting point on the 120hz/battery affects though, I thought it made a big difference! From the battery tests and other things ive seen on youtube, 120hz definitely drains more battery, especially at max res

One thing I wish I could do is enjoy the iPhone in its full glory without a big rubber case and screen protector. Apple hardware is such a joy to handle, but so fragile in day to day use (or I’m just clumsy!).

You're clumsy. It's not really fragile at all now and hasn't been for quite a few iterations.
 
I'll watch the highlights on YT tomorrow.

Not interested in a phone as only had my 12 a year or whatever its been since they released it, and given I came from a 6s, the 12 should last me a while yet...

Ipad I might be interested in, I like the size of the mini I have but the screens a touch small, maybe if they get rid of the button and make it a bit bigger like they did with the phones a few years back, might work, I don't really fancy going up to the normal sized iPad but will see what a new one brings..

My main interest is the Watch. I got a series 3 a year ago just as they were the cheapest route into the Watch, to see if I got along with it coming from my Steel HR, I like it, battery sucks but other than that I'm happy enough with it to now get a 7, so that's whats happening..
If they drop a Series 7 that is...

Oh well, must try harder with the next one, my phone is always falling out of my scrub pockets. Annoyingly my XR is in very good nick under the cover!

You can see here the new notch size.

Bit late to the reduced notch size party, and still fairly big

I think it's a welcome change, until they remove it completely while retaining FaceID.

As you can see from the photo they are packing a lot of sensors in there, it's not just a single front facing camera.

For sure, still looks much better! At least its moving in the right direction after so long

Im waiting for the 2022 model which is rumored to remove the notch completely.
