Yaaaay! My partner and I don’t NEED to, but we’re gonna finally upgrade our six year old iPhones! I just want USB-C, a 120hz screen, and a Terabyte. My partner is on 64 gifs and that is NOT enough for the cat pics we take.
I am on iPhone X but changed the battery this year instead and will see how it goes.
Hell yeah! I’d look into alternative but
-
We use nothing google
-
We both have Linux machines and windows machines and don’t wanna fuck with phone software
-
We have been told many things and never have a convincing reason why one and two would mean we shouldn’t have iPhones
To be clear, I am on macOS as well along with PC that has both Windows and Pop!_OS for Linux. I follow industry news and this year is supposed to be a ‘S’ year as we just had Titanium to Tetraprism camera last year. I would prefer to skip the likely first generation hardware developments to support Apple Intelligence that would be quickly outpaced by its successor anyway as I grab the top-most model (Pro-Max-Ultra~) and keep it as long as it’s good.
Not at all saying skipping the iPhone for an Android but if mine can handle COD:Mobile (Game) at High Graphics then you’d just need to clear buildup iOS cache by restoring the device from a backup like iTunes if you’re on PC. Camera upgrades is the one am more interested with for my case which would be 48MP sensor for the Ultrawide this year and 48MP for the Telephoto next year to finally have all three camera on the same megapixel count along with the selfie camera getting a 24MP upgrade as well since the iPhone 6 if am not wrong.

“It’s Glowtime” in reference to glowies pwning your software and hardware out-of-the-box. Appropriate. At least they’re upfront about it.
Similar comment in the Apple sub didn’t get as much love.
An interesting dichotomy of the audience
If the rumors for the capture button are true it’s pretty neat. Being able to zoom, focus, and snap a picture with the same capacitive button is neat, and would make smartphone camerawork be nearly as easy as digital cameras from twenty five years ago! 😅
Sony has had the dedicated focus/snap button for years but zoom is handled by the volume buttons. I liked that setup, but went away from them earlier this year because their phone keeps overheating in camera mode. That was as of mark IV anyway. I hear the new ones are better but not sure how much.
I never got on the Xperia train cause my buddy had a rough experience with one (long before I went to the dark side and bought an iPhone).
But I did think the camera stuff seemed cool.
One of the few things I truly miss going from my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition (greatest phone I ever owned, may it rest bricked in peace) to the iPhone is being able to open the camera without waking the phone first. Double tapping the power button to open the camera was great. On iPhone I have to wake the screen and then get to the camera, which is fast but not NEARLY as fast, so I sometimes miss shots I would’ve gotten with an Android phone. This should also fix that (as did the Action button in the iPhone 15, I think, but I don’t have that).
Loved my experia. Nice square edges, small overall size. Ahead of its time with pretty good photogrammetry built in well before Apple had any.
More than the hardware it was the software side of things that caught both Sony and LG along with after-sales support.
Loved the off screen gestures on my OnePlus 6. Just get my phone out, draw a quick circle, and the camera opens.
Yeah, as in it’s time for more backdoors for the glowies.
Apple’s propaganda clowns either too stupid or knows that their real customer are the spooks lol
So why even pretend anymore?
Do you remember that circle jerk with some masshooters phone. Best PR apple ever got and I doubt it was libre 🐸
