I’m still on the iPhone X, and the latest models just don’t have any features I’m excited about. I was thinking about what would make a difference to me and I think a really cool feature that would make me upgrade is thermal imaging.

Thermal cameras are expensive and the resolution and frame rate is generally rubbish because they are a niche item, but they are so useful. I’ve used them for everything from fixing heating systems, cars, and electronics to simply checking if my dog is still in the garden in the dark, or working out where ‘that draft’ is coming from.

Thermal imaging needs to be brought into the mainstream for price reduction and development, that integration to the next generation iPhone can deliver.

Am I just a weirdo, or would you like a thermal camera on the iPhone?

    Yes and no. It’s iOS, but it will only work on recent phones. I have 15 Pro so expect it to work for me. You’ll have to look specifically for the feature you like and whether it works on your phone

    I also like all the photos ai features.

    Im actually more tempted by the watch. The sleep apnea detection seems like a good feature, as well as previous sensors since my series 6. I was waiting for blood pressure, but the new features are building up
