People say they want one. Apple makes one. People don't buy one. Apple stops making one.

Rinse. Repeat.

I said I wanted one. I bought a twelve, and immediately upgraded to a 13.

Bought my father a 12 Pro and he hated it ("digs into my crotch during golf swings,"), asked if he preferred my 13 and he said "oh yeah, this is way better). So I gave it to him and bought yet another 13.

There might be a fourth in there that I overlooked.

I’m not convinced that this isn’t special effects vs actual video played on phones.   It’s probably a mix of both.  

They’re very well known for stunts like this, and there’s behind-the-scenes footage of most of them. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUfI_yXs_uzSRmjzBiW53qbqAlGoJHpTh&si=TW3KCzfG6448D8Pa

This is a feature that I've been badly wanting for a while, but it's not working for me yet.

- MacOS Sequoia 15.1
- iPadOS 18.2 developer beta

hoping the fact that it's an iPad Mini isn't a dealbreaker for portrait orientation

"Requires no case on iPhone to use" That's like doing a review of a rubber case and saying "con: you can't have your leather case on while using this"

it's bizarre to even speculate — Apple is very predictable about design changes. New iPhone chassis happen every three years... 

Ummm... the iPhone 16 Pro, if leaks about the design prove correct, will mark the fifth year that Apple has retained the same flat-sided design introduced with the iPhone 12 Pro. I don't count the 15 Pro's swap out of SS trim for titanium to be a "redesign." 

I disagree. Now that the iPhone is basically a "piece of glass" that's how minor design revisions will be going forward. (Not unlike the Watch, whose changes many wouldn't consider to be changes at all)
