Which iPhone 16 will you be getting?

I've just done a quick search on reviews, read the first two I found and they both say it's great for games but pretty average for anything else. They both agree that the camera is a disappointment and that the under screen camera suffers from a lack of light, being described as 'average' and 'mediocre at best'.

It seems that it might get two years of software updates (if you're lucky).

I don't think Apple have anything to be embarrassed about.

I completely agree, but the rest of the engineering that has gone into that should be where the handset is. Instead we're allegedly going thinner. I don't want thinner. I want a useable, large screen sized phone that is a slab of technology - not a pixel 9 pro clone.

This embarrasses apple. While i'm not a fan of the aesthethtics, the fact that red dragon has eliminated the notch and eliminated the hole punch camera entirely while without sacrificing photo quality is something Apple should have created. If I wasn't so heavily bought into the apple ecosystem right now, I'd pick this up.

it stuns me that in 2025 apple is so far behind android phones without a foldable, and now with a design that is left in the dust by the likes of red dragon and oneplus.

Where are they putting the sensors for proper face ID?

Also, foldable phones are overpriced e-waste. The concept is great, but the tech and pricing is not there.

In truth, I would rather (given my homunculous hands) that they just make the iPad mini a fully featured phone. I will say that as an owner of the surface duo, I loved the hinge book design and feel apple should emulate.

The Surface Duo was a much better design, and maintains a glass screen over plastic. I think it failed largely due to poor software adoption, which Apple would do better at.
 
There are a few things that do frustrate me a little about Apple though, especially with their latest AI update.

One example is my Samsung A34 work phone, which despite being a lower-end model, boasts a surprising number of AI features, such as image object removal or removing a person from a photo etc. Apple could have easily implemented that feature to some of their older phones, but instead they choose to limit and sell it with the 15 Pro and above models with Apple intelligence.

Without checking I can't be sure, Googles AI approach is very much cloud-based first, while Apple's is very much on device first. That be the reason why.
