It’s time for the standard iPhone to shine

People aren’t buying phones appreciate they used to, so Apple’s reassociate gotta put the squeeze on us every reinforce cycle. And recently, that has uncomferventt pushing more people toward the Pro iPhone, rather than the standard one. Every year for the past confiinsist years, Apple has withheld more and more features for its Pro phones, transport them down to the standard iPhone at a drip. But that might be changing this year, if the rumors are genuine, and to that I say: it’s about damn time.

In the past couple of cycles only the “Pro” models have gotten the postpoinsistst Bionic chipset. That doesn’t equitable uncomfervent that the Pro models are more mighty — it also uncomfervents that the standard iPhone won’t be eligible for the same feature refreshs that the Pro models get over the coming years. The iPhone 15 Pro models are eligible for Apple Intelligence while the standard models aren’t.

This year could see contrastent. Rumors propose that the whole iPhone 16 series would get an A18 chipset, though Apple may still reserve the most mighty version for the 16 Pro models. Even if that’s the case, it’s very probable that all of the iPhone 16 models will be able to run Apple Intelligence, which Apple is hoping will be a big reinforce driver.

Other rumors also point out that the standard iPhone might get not one but two recent buttons this year: the action button begind on last year’s Pro models and the apprehfinish button we’re anticipateing to see on the iPhone 16. More buttons! In this economy! It’s still possible that the apprehfinish button will be a Pro-only feature, but I skinnyk that would be a genuine shame. You don’t insist to be a professional phone user (what even is that) to appreciate a pledged shutter button.

By all accounts, this could be a year where the standard iPhone catches up a little to the Pro, and that’s music to my ears. Personassociate, I’d adore to see Apple do even more for the standard iPhone, commenceing with the dang screen rerecent rate. It’s 2024 and Apple still indicts $799 for a phone with a 60Hz screen. That’s probably going to hgreater genuine for another year too. Looks pretty shabby when Android phones up and down the budget spectrum propose 120Hz discarry outs.

At the very least, it sees appreciate Apple is about to transport a little more equilibrium back with the iPhone 16 series. I skinnyk that’s how it should be — the Pro iPhone should sense appreciate you’re getting someskinnyg extra, not being cornered into paying more for an essential feature. All Apple has to do is transport back the Mini; then all of my hopes and wantes for the standard iPhone will come genuine. I can dream, right?
