I recently switched to iPhone 15 Pro, and even though I have only owned Samsung phones in the past 10 years or so, I always follow up with apple, and they really won me with the 15 Pro, with the USB-C, dynamic island, always on display and the action button (I know aod and di were in the 14 pro but the lighting and no customizable button was a deal breaker.

I really love my 15 Pro and I feel like I want to keep for real longtime, maybe until iPhone next big thing?

For example (imo) the year of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was a huge jump for apple that usually don’t take big risky moves like this which is exactly why the bendgate was a thing, because apple take tiny steps prioritizing quality (at least most of the time). It was the opposite of whatever iPhone was supposed to be and I loved it!

Innovation comes with risks and set backs. But I was wondering with the spread of foldable phones in recent years, and I am pretty sure Apple will follow up once they are ready, and I am pretty sure it would be well thought and crafted before any public release (i hope), unlike samsung’s first foldable that was very experimental and rough which was inspiring how big of a risk Samsung was ready to take regardless the outcome (can argue the similarity with iPhone 6 line up)

Do you think we will get foldable iPhones any time soon? (Or whatever other new technology they wanna come up with)?

    Maybe no camera bump. Also possibly reacting to gestures without touching the screen. Like you get a notification while your phone is sitting on a table and you can somehow gesture to read it or dismiss it.

    I honestly want to see more software features from the Android world. I want the notifications system revamped, I want to be able to choose which cloud account a new contact guess to, I want to be able to set a Bluetooth device not to auto connect just like with WiFi. And yes I’ve submitted feature requests. I’m perfectly fine now that USB c is here. Although battery life can always be improved.

    I don’t think there’s much in the physical upgrades outside of better screens or the incremental camera updates. It’ll wind up being software based like AI. I don’t think they’ll do a foldable; that doesn’t fit their aesthetic and I think that entire thing doesn’t have longevity (just my opinion). I’d like to see them nix Siri for a better assistant that is AI based and can actually function unlike the Siri we have, which is meh at best. Open up their texting stuff so I can text with my non-iPhone using friends and not degrade pictures and video that we send each other. Maybe eventually get rid of the Dynamic Island and be entirely full screen.

    I would like Apple to introduce their own version of AI. Pixels have that edge to them. I wish I could install emulators too.

    I heard iphones will eventually be full screen, as in the front camera hidden underneath the phone. The next one to worry about is the new se, which I may get in all honesty, as well as Apples new AR glasses (a lighter product than the new Vision Pro), which will eventually replace iphones entirely.

      They’ve been saying this for years, it would be nice, but concepts and rumors for full screen “soon” have been floating for over a decade.

    My iPhone 14 is fine for use as a phone/text device and I will use it until it fails. A desired improvement would be in email and text, being able to easily and permanently mark senders as spam and never see them again. Additionally, block automatically anybody using the abbreviated address and not a full phone number.
