I can't go back to 60hz but other than that, the 16 Plus would meet my requirements perfectly, I only need the pro for 120hz, there is no other features worth paying for imo

My thoughts exactly. I'd go for the plus and forget the Pro models entirely if they were 120hz. I think this is one of the main reasons why Apple don't apply the 120hz to their non pro models so people like you and I will spend more for the 120hz.

I read from macrumours that the 17 non pro models will come with 120hz displays, so we'll see. Until then my 13PM will continue to serve me well
 
Apple have really run out of steam for me, in fact as a consumer they've just annoyed me this year.

New iPad was a disappointment and they deliberately forced anyone upgrading to buy a brand new keyboard and pencil by making it incompatible with existing accessories.
New iPhone is a complete joke upgrade for anyone with the 15 Pro. Complete waste of money.
New over ear headphones are virtually the same... no innovation.
Apple Watch Ultra only new colour... no innovation.
etc etc

I think we need to move away from this obsession with yearly product cycles

This sums it up for me as well perfectly well. What I will say is I was away to get the max until my brother called me an idiot for buying 4 year old headphones that don’t even have the features of their £100 AirPods even if I did wait a about a year or so. Bose QC may need to get new ear pads!

The ultra2 didn’t need an update to be honest, the cycle for that can be a couple of years. They should have just said we’re adding more colours to the line up of the ultra and the max.

Hang on, are you disappointed that the Max and the UW2 haven't really been updated but then say that you don't want yearly product cycles. You've got exactly what you want :D

That is effectively what they said.

I don't disagree with you, especially when it comes to macOS - I'd much rather see a major update every couple of years.

Nobody should feel they need to upgrade their phone every year and I really don't think the intended target for the phone each year is someone who bought theirs a year ago. Nobody is forced to buy a new phone every year, the primary target is someone with a three or four year old device. Times have moved on, people don't have the disposable income they used to in order to upgrade each year any more.

I went into the presentation this year with an open mind. When the 15 was released, I said I'd wait until the 16 but even before the event, I'd pretty much convinced myself that it would take something special for me to consider the 16. That hasn't happened so I'll hang on to my 13 for another year. Tech has stabilised and devices are lasting much longer now.

The likes of my sister, mother etc couldn't give two hoots about 60hz, most likely wouldn't even know what it means.

That is the people the OG 16 is marketed towards.

Fair point.

I am still tempted with an iPhone 16, even if it's still only 60Hz. Not really a huge deal to me, but I am surprised they haven't moved past that yet, but I imagine it's to encourage people to spend more money on the pro model.

I have to give it some thought. I just want decent battery life, no slowness/chugging when switching between apps and a good camera for my dog walks

My iPhone being picked and appears to be on track for delivery Friday, (fingers crossed).

Me too. Swapping from android first time ever. I have one coming direct from Apple for my step daughter. Then one from vodafone on my upgrade.

Think vodafone is coming via dpd. Not sure who apple use courier wise.
