    Very good

      Solid upgrades-not. Looking forward to 15th generation with no cutouts, half-decent cooling systems and underdisplay fingerprint sensor.

        What is good design is subjective. The notch houses something that people want. FaceID is a really convenient feature, and is the only biometric unlocking system that is secure. Samsung's version is just a 2D photo scan, while FaceID truly is a 3D scanning.

        Customers know that an iPhone will last for YEARS. 7-8 years of software updates. The OS won't feel sluggish anytime soon. You can't say that about any of the competition. Second hand value of an iPhone stays high due to the longevity of the phones. An Samsung phone for instance looses value extremely quick. No one wants a two year old Android, since the user experience would be horrible (no more updates, laggy UI). A two year old iPhone works just as new.

        Try to see past your biased hate against Apple.

          Finally Apple is catching up seepdly with these upgrades with Android phones, possibly next iterations the 14 Series I would have an iPhone again after iPhone 6s

          Apple is having serious directions now on smartphone full options 😊

              None there feels any reason to spend more budget to make iphone the best at everything.

              Nothing is gonna change as long things remain this way.
              Zero doubt iphone 13 can sell more than 70 mi units until iphone 14 is announced.

                  Sensor size should be around 1/1.7" for the main camera if the pixel pitch is 1.9μm. Can't wait for these!

                    But "Entirely redesigned" ?

                    Then how comes it looks like an incremental upgrade
                    over last year's iPhone which also was an incremental upgrade over
                    a device from 3 years ago ?

                    How come the company that create the most boring, less exciting devices of the entire
                    mobile industry is also number 3 (Xiaomi just passed them) in smartphone sales worlwide ?
                    Let alone the N°1 in profit ?

                        iPhone 12 was 1600 and 4200 on geekbench.

                        Wonder what this will out up,.

                        Absolutely beastly.

                        Curiously still 5nm and not 4nm

                            "The telephoto camera has a new 77mm f/1.8 lens, so it offers 3x optical magnification over the main cam. This is up from 65 mm/2.5x lens with slower f//2.4 aperture"

                            Wrong,
                            1. the f-number of the 77mm camera is 2.8. Nonetheless, the 77mm camera will capture more light per time from distant objects, if the effective aperture diameter is larger than the 12 Pro Max tele camera. The effective aperture diameter is not known currently.
                            2. No, the optical magnification is surely not 3 times as large as this would require a focal length that is three times as high as the focal length of the main camera. Keep in mind that "77mm" is not the focal length, but the field of view. The media (including Apple's marketing) often confuses focal length and field of view (which can be expressed in mm), but these are different things.
                            3. Apple hasn't unveiled how many megapixels the "3x" camera has. For example, if the "3x" camera only has 8 megapixels, the angular resolution would be lower than the angular resolution of the 12 Pro Max "2.5x" camera. So I guess that the "3x" camera has 12 megapixels, otherwise "3x" would be a marketing stunt.

                                    Socalteknique , 14 Sep 2021So nothing groundbreaking...again lolWell, the regular iPhone 13 128gb gets double the storage, better battery life and more advanced cameras for the same price as the 12 64gb. Not bad. Still a lot of money for sure.

                                      And also no doubt that this is exactly the same display that samsung has used in S21 ultra. High end High refresh rate LTPO panels mean Samsung

                                        Video on this phone will be good no doubt. But the phone is ugly as hell. Seriously ? A notch in 2022?
