    Obviously subjective,
     but if accurate, these colors look bad..  Glad I have the iPhone 15 in yellow.

    Still on iPhone 12 mini. My significant other has an iPhone 15 pro. The pro gives you the true iPhone experience. It’s just so damn huge and bulky though. If Steve Jobs was CEO it would be skinnier then the current iPhone SE
    Wish I had snagged a 13 mini (4.97 ounces), but the 12 mini is lighter (4.76 ounces). I have the SE2020 model for the TouchID, and the weight (5.22 ounces). 256GB model is plenty of storage, takes great photos, and is LIGHT WEIGHT.

    Why Apple is taking till the iPhone 17 slim to get the weight under control is beyond me. I know plenty of people who have no interest in the newer iPhone models because they are too heavy.

    A friend I talked to this weekend said they had to modify their entire setup to keep all credit cards, ids, etc, in a "iPhone 15 Pro Max case" so that they only had to cary 1 thing around with them. It was ridiculously heavy. -- iPhone 15 Pro Max is 7.81 ounces ~ nearly 1/2 pound!!

    I send new Apple users to iPhone Resale websites, telling them to wait for Apple to get the Weight under control. Most resell websites still have AppleCare+ on the phones, and you can extend it Month-to-Month after that, no need to buy new from Apple. You still get the repair coverage, replacement, etc.

    I’m constantly amazed at how many people keep credit cards and important ID cards strapped to their phone.  Everything gone at once if phone is lost.

    Wishlist - iPod slim that looks cool, lightweight, FM tuner and tons of storage.

  • How the Apple Ring will blow all the other smart ring manufacturers out of the water

    Almost 20 years of R&D and numerous patents and Apple fails to bring it to market
    R&D on the iPhone was less

    Makes one wonder how much of a market there is for such a thing.  For me,  a ring has got to be comfortable and look good to even think about wearing.  Would a computer ring meet that criteria?

    The only thing that would make me consider buying a ring is whether it allows my devices to track me in my own house and automatically turn lights on and off as I move through the house. Right now I'm doing that with motion sensors, but it's messy, complex and inaccurate. If Apple can improve on this with a ring, preferably including people who visit my house with their own ring, then I would consider buying it.

    I typically walk around the house with my phone.  Do you?  If so, why not have the phone do that?
    Because the phone doesn't have legs?
    It’s a safe bet most people have the phone with them in the room they are in.   But really,  having a ring or phone controlling lights by moving in a room is a cute trick, but not really necessary.  There could also be times someone would not want it to do that LOL.
