'Peak Apple' has now passed. Collect today to sell Apple's best products in the decades to come. 

If you think titanium is more important than faster components, better battery life, better screen, stronger glass, etc., then you deserve the poor performance you’ll get.

Very few people will care, and practically no one will buy the Apple products you prefer for much money in the future.

All those complaining: what do you want that was missing?

The iPhone 16 Pro got a large battery life improvement, large performance improvements in processing & memory bandwidth, improved thermal management, faster USB-C, larger screen, stronger glass, smaller bezels, new capacitive button, higher resolution ultra wide sensor, tetraprism telephoto lens, improved main camera, WiFi 7, improved mics, etc.

The main hardware improvements not provided that I can think of would be getting rid of the Dynamic Island, upgrading the front & telephoto cameras, and adding under-screen TouchID. What else is there, really?

They only need to slap the Matter version number under the Matter logo.

Basically every other spec has multiple versions, like Thunderbolt. USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, etc.

Apple will obviously retain a visual distinction between iMessage & other protocols. The green bubble stigma is one of the greatest marketing tools ever, and it’s free.

Are any of the acquired Intel patents, or is any of the technology being developed for a 5G modem, useful for other chips, like the UWB U2 chip or its successors? Could Apple use expertise gained from 5G modem to create faster, more reliable connections between its proprietary devices, allowing for faster communication between (& better battery life for) iPhones, Vision, Watch, new devices, etc.?
