And no one complains that either. Maybe all apples needs is sticking to this design for 5 more years and no one would complain anymore? 😂
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 16 Pro Max Looks This Much Bigger Beside iPhone 15 Pro Max

Seriously considering dropping the Pro Max and going back to the Pro. It's getting a bit too big now TBH.
the 15pm is popping out of my pocket too often as it is. it doesn't need to be any taller.
Man. I have the 15 Pro (not Max) and for the first time since like the iPhone 5 I may not upgrade this year. Don't want a bigger phone.
Ymmv of course, but I don't want a phone any bigger than my 15 Pro Max. It's already pretty clumsy to handle, but the bigger screen is helpful for my aging eyes.
I use the thin carbon fiber cases that are barely more than a decal in thickness. I treat my phone as if it has no case. Its purpose for me is better grip that is easily removable. Each year, if I replace phones each year, my case looks new which is a shame. It's hard to find a home for a year old case even though it looks new. The most wear has been when I used leather Apple cases, they would patina over the year but still looked physically good.
Such a small difference lol.. but the 10 or 20 folks who want a mini will make you think it went to the size of iPad 13"
I tell myself each year, self you dont need a new phone. The announcement comes and I walk around with the idea in my head and bam, it's phone time. When we had 2-year agreements I kept them 2 years but not anymore. I hear you though, it's my issue. Ha.Suggestion: don't buy a new phone every year. Hang on to the one you have until at least the case falls apart. Each generation is only a bundle of relatively tiny improvements over the prior, many of which require specs to prove it... but are not really noticeable in typical usage.
Else, perhaps seek an opportunity to short-term lease a case.
It's a rectangle with a screen on the front and a camera on the back... How much could they do with the design? Consumers are a bunch of whiners and complainers... the minute you deviate from the design too much people start crying that they ruined it. And the funny thing is that usually the ones that complain about lack of changes are the first to cry about a change not looking good.
Wait, how would it compare to a 14PM though? Didn't the 15PM shrink a bit, just for the 16PM to grow again?))
With this type of thinking, we’d never come up with futuristic products. It’s way too many smart and creative people in this world to think that’s the best we can come up with.
Because radically changing a products design is the only way to update it and advance it?
i am actually going to exchange my iphone 13 mini for a Samsung Flip 6 when it comes out and mainly use the front screen for basic stuff. Smaller and less glued to my phone is the goal without losing banking app/trading app/whatsapp stuff.
I'd be more than happy if they just sell me the 13 mini with usb-c
What "actual innovation" would you like to see?
Perhaps you could list a handful of potential novel iPhone designs that would wow you and others? Should be easy.
Maybe a cylinder iPhone?
I use a 13 Mini and love its size and weight. My partner uses a 13 Pro, and I went to pick it up the other day -- I couldn't believe how bulky and heavy it was in comparison.
Needless to say, I'm giving the 16 a wide berth.

Its because woman folk put these in their huge handbags with those funky ring holders on the back. I like my Max because my eyes went old within months. Its the boho/glam lifestyle that drives these sales.
I agree. It's the reason I have the 15PM, but I also agree with the overall sentiment of its size. The 15 Pro felt so comfortable in hand, but the battery capacity gets the shaft in comparison to even the regular model. I always said 6.2-6.4" screen is ideal for me. 6.3" will sit right in the middle. I would be open to a bigger Max though, if it were in the 7"-ish range and had more tablet-like functionality.
