iPhone 15 is coming, and these features will be worth the wait - eviltoast
Summer can be an awkward time to buy a new iPhone. Apple will release a new iPhone in the fall,...

iPhone 15 looks to be a pretty great update, at least for the Pro. Personally I have been holding out for a USB C iPhone so I was going to upgrade whenever that happened but there are some other things that look good as well.

    so per 9to5mac, these features are “worth the wait”

    • possible “dynamic island” availability in non-pro versions
    • higher photo quality via increased mega pixels
    • greater optical zoom with new “periscope lens system”
    • weight reduction due to change in materials
    • change to mute switch via a customizable button
    • change from lighting to USB-C
    • increased cost of iPhone 15 (lol this is a feature? good journalism, 9to5mac)

    Don’t really care for this stuff to be honest. Repairability of iPhones is getting worse every year. From proprietary hardware and software locks on components which disable features if those flags are not reset by an Apple technician.

    I would consider upgrading if finger print recognition was brought back. Maybe embed the sensor under the screen like I have seen on some other phones.

    For now, my XS Max still going strong.
