  • What the iPhone 15 Pro in gray titanium could look like

    It’s a super bland color, yuck. Then again, who cares? Who walks around with a $1200 phone without a protective cover?
    I know someone who does.   Not using a case makes the phone feel great,  but of course a huge risk if phone dropped.

    Is the cursing really necessary in some of these comments?   It’s giving the forum an amateur look.

  • Original unopened iPod to sell for record-breaking $29,000

    Can you imagine if somebody has a G4 cube in a sealed new box?  Could it go for $100,000 ?  Lol.   It would actually be cool if Apple brought back that design - except this time make the stand holding the computer out of high purity clear glass.

    Could it be that people are iPhone saturated and people aren’t dying to get one? Pure conjecture but this could be a consideration. 
    Yes that is absolutely correct.  Gone are the days of standing in line outside a store on launch day to get an iPhone.  Yes , it could be argued that people now sit online waiting to order,  but really that is not the same if you know what i mean.  There will be a percentage of people who “must” upgrade every year but i think that number is dwindling.  But how can we know,  because Apple will not release sales numbers of products LOL !

    There are other forums with people saying how important sim cards are to them.  They are saying they won’t buy the new model if it is esim only.  In places outside the US, having a sim card is really important for travel and most affordable way too.  It could be interesting how important this is and if it affects sales.  Is Apple making a mistake getting rid of sim cards? 
    Nope. Apple was roundly criticized for adopting USB ahead of the mainstream. Then everyone else did, and it became a standard. The exact same thing will happen with eSIM. Even in places outside the U.S. And the iPhone will support at least 2.
    I've been traveling through Europe and Asia with my 14 Pro, which is eSIM only, and not having a physical sim card presents no problem. Plenty of companies offering eSim with very cheap and fast data rates, plus downloading an eSim is more convenient than acquiring a physical card. And you are 100% right about Apple leading the way with innovations that initially get criticized, then copied as an industry standard. Remember the clutching of pearls when they eliminated the headphone jack on the iPhone?
    Samsung was first in using esim in a phone.  Yes, the present and future very good for esim but esim service is not available everywhere yet.  For compatibility Apple could continue doing esim and sim in phones for at least a couple more years?  No?  And it appears the perception by some travelers is that sim provides the cheapest rates, whether true or not.  I don’t travel enough to have opinion on that one. My current iphone has both options which is reassuring for now
