seems a bit of a waste that sim space if its just blocked off with nothing, but then again its so small im not sure what they can really do with it otherwise

Apple can’t do anything with the space until all models are esim only.

not sure why we still even have the physicals sims outside of the US.

Not very apple like to give you different things in different countries

True but it’s a warning shot to networks to up their esim game.

 

[Feek]

Be nice if you could have a 'wallet' type thing for e-sims and then you can virtually swap as you move around the globe as you would with local SIM's in some countries.

They’re just QR codes, aren’t they? Save them in an album on your phone and pick the one you want.

 

[Trig]

Its a trick, with an e-sim and a phone you cant remove the battery on they'll be able to track you at all times...

 

[Broken Hope]

You can store up to 8 eSIM on an iPhone.

New iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra CAD renders show camera differences and design

Apple might be going for regular buttons with the iPhone 15 series after all, and it seems the iPhone 15 Ultra will get a more equipped camera system.

Renders have been leaked! USBC almost definitely coming, and the mute switch looks to be replaced by a solid state button.

Smaller bezels are nice as well, screen to body ratio looks like its going to be one of the best on the market

Don't believe any of it until the launch.

To be fair over the past few years the leaks and rumours when it comes to hardware has been pretty much spot on for the most part.

It'll be slightly better than the last model and have an Apple logo on the back..

I keep thinking about whether I need a 15. The battery on my 13 is still at 100%, and I hardly use that phone to its full advantage now, so I won't benefit from the new features. The only thing that would pull me in would be the battery life.

You probably don't need one. The battery life on the 13 is excellent and if yours is still at full capacity then you have no reason to upgrade. Of course, we don't know what the new features are yet so you can't say whether you'll benefit from them or not

im on a 12, and a 3 year cycle for phones is a good enough time to upgrade. Once i get the 15 there's probably even less reason to upgrade after so might keep that one for 4 years or even longer maybe

I actually regretted moving from a 13 pro max to a 14 pro, battery nowhere as good.

That one the main reasons i went for a 14 pro Max was due to the much longer battery life over the standard 14 pro

I would have most likely gone for a standard 14 pro if it had the same battery life as a Max

I noticed when I was out in the sand a couple of months ago that I've actually managed to put a bit of a bend in my 12, so looking at the 15 Pro, I use the camera more these days, given I go to places I wouldn't do normally so the camera gets more use than it would have done given a normal desk job, and the Pro, as I understand it, isn't likely to be aluminium so less likely to bend...

possible titanium housing for the ultra variant, that should be strong enough and definitely feel super premium as well

 

[Trig]

It'll be in a case so how it feels isnt really relevant to me, i just want something with better camera and less likely to bend..
I've had iPhone since the 6 and never managed to bend one before the 12

Should hopefully make it lighter too (though of course light phones may not be perceived as premium so maybe apple will add a bit of lead to keep the weight up.... )

likely the only the frame will be titanium, i would assume the back of the phone and front will remain glass, so not much weight change
