Just couldn't resist.

I've seen one suggesting that there might be a Titanium framed version although given the cost of titanium and it's relatively low resistance to scratching I would have thought it would make a very expensive choice.

I would think it would be +$1000 on the current prices.

I can see a Titanium model - they made a titanium Apple Watch.

I'd like to see some real improvements in the camera - the rumoured stacking/periscope camera lens tech, which could give up to 10x optical zoom in the same space as the current camera module would be pretty amazing...

Saw this video today about the iPhone 13 Pro, and to be honest I'm a bit pissed off with the extent of how far Apple will go in order to prevent repairs to their devices by third parties.

Even when genuine Apple parts have been used from other brand new genuine devices, the phone will still throw a wobbly about the validity of the parts used, and therefore the functionality is severely crippled.

It's such a shame, because from a hardware based aspect, it looks quite simple to replace parts. The software/serial ID aspect however poses a massive problem with actual interchangeability.

From a quote in the video, the presenter mentions that even though he spent a lot of money on the phones, he doesn't feel like they belong to him.

The "right to repair" is a movement I'm fully supporting, if only the big players took it on board... Let's see if the iPhone 14 is any different.

All the camera lenses rotated 360 degrees.

I'm confident it will be the fastest iPhone ever.

There's no doubt that the cameras will produce the best images of cats ever from a phone. The A16 bioneuroengine chip will enable you to upload them to social media faster than ever via 6G. The largest battery ever in an iPhone will allow you to bore strangers with cat images for even longer.

I’m sure the iPhone 14 will allow me to be able to make a totally false dig about ‘the big man’ and ownership of Apple products, harking back to the old humour-filled IRC days ;)

How do you go about ensuring the customers will get a display and camera that are both calibrated to the specific device? It's the same as display calibrations on the desktop computer, that you need to do it for individual displays or video cards from the factory as none of them are identical.

The places with proper calibration tools also happen to be apple certified places and they can actually do the repairs just fine.

Or, you can clone the hardware ID over or rewrite the firmware for those parts if you are a good enough repair shop lol.

Sorry it doesn't have a camera but it plays music, makes phone calls and connects to the internet

😀

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.
