Apple's Secret iPhone Shocker!

Apple's secret XDG team is working on breakthrough technology to power the next generation of flagship Apple devices. With non-stop rumors about a major redesign, folding form factor, under-display Face ID, Touch ID, and custom Apple displays, we know the top-secret team is working on new features that will totally transform Apple's lineup. But is Apple focusing on the right products in 2023? Are they churning out boring updates to say it's "new"? Should they slow down updates to focus on bigger updates? Let's talk about it!

I love it when apple has an event revealing their next project and it turns out to be the same thing as last year.

I really think all apple is gonna do is maybe add updates to the chips for the 15s and some new cameras also looking forward to the rumors about this “ deep red” but I think that’s all apple will do realistically speaking.

I used a z flip 4 for a couple months, absolutely loved the form factor and having both touch ID AND face ID. I went back to my iPhone b/c it's just too inconvenient to try to use android when I'm fully in the Apple ecosystem otherwise and all my family & friends are on iOS. If Apple ever puts out a folding iPhone though, I would be first in line. If it breaks, well that's what Applecare is for lol.

I did the folding phone thing and although I like the idea I’m not in love with it. I had the Flip 4, the Fold 3, and the Surface Duo 1 and 2. I actually like the Duo the best but it seems that they have discontinued it so some of the upgrades that would have made it amazing won’t happen.

It would be interesting to see if Apple could improve on folding phones but their history tells me that they will focus on the fold mechanism and not much else. I could see a bad camera, lower specs, and lower resolution screen. They would do it so they could offer “upgrades” every year that Samsung and Microsoft had in Gen 1 and 2 of their foldables.

I no longer expect Apple to create magic so I’m not as excited to see Apple’s version of a foldable phone.

"The folding iPhone is TOTALY real" yea right

I’m very curious about Apple Watch which can monitor glucose levels about its accuracy. I use a special sensor that uses interstitial fluid (ISF) and not blood and that’s still somewhat inaccurate. There are certain % margins how much can the result vary from the regular lab to be considered HELPFUL.

Fantastic show as always. I want them to be the first to build Quantum processors. Basically make a six sided processor. All you need is the software. I would enjoy being on a design team and yes they should scale back on product offerings.

It is a different era from the Jonny Ive’s. VR/AR, AI computation, things that Cook needs to tackle are different. Different era calls for different ways to work. This era requires many professional from completely different industries and each one of them’s options matter a lot more than before. It is not they are working with no clear leader it is because it is necessary to do so. A industrial designer within the industry from a different language channel has discussed about this, also people are working in the tech companies that are also facing the same challenges that are also tied to Apple in some way knows how their design team operates now. They are bringing a new way of cooperation, I say they are doing well, better than ever. You just got to accept the fact that you cannot do things the same way forever because technology progresses.

I'm all for FUNCTION over form. Give me FUNCTION. Give me replaceable iPhone batteries, USB-C, SD card reader, NO DONGLES!!!

[nylive]

What more can Apple do with an iPhone??
My iPhone 8 isn't that far behind the 15, with maybe the exception of the iOs it can run.
A phone is a phone. Takes pics, makes calls, does texts... what more does anyone need??
And how much can Apple improve beyond my iPhone 8?? (also have a '22 SE, but Not looking
to Upgrade any time soon).

[alessiasimonne]

I’ve always admired the talent to talk so much and say nothing at the same time

[raycharles]

Max pro should be redesigned for not only business and movie makers or film editors but game developers as well and open up the potential for macs so much more I hope they have something planned for gaming

[ralphreid]

Slow down and focus. Then release a perfect product.

[TheHuztlazgreed]

I prefer functionality over form. To me, the current iPhone looks nice. And I know certain fashion people want something new & pretty every year. But I prefer the phone just to be flawless every year. No quirks or whatever. Like, for instance. This is totally not important and a pet peeve for me, but my custom memoji AirPods Pro 2 has my memoji on them. When the iPhone 14 Pro Max came out, it sometimes didn’t show it. But now, iOS 16.3.1 it shows up every time. But meanwhile, on my M2 iPad Pro 12.9” (and the reason I’m being specific is because when I contact AppleCare they ask for all of these specifics so I assume it means something) shows my Memoji with a lighter grey line through it. And I know it shouldn’t. But that bothers me it’s not fixed yet. So, reported it today. So, I just want a flawless experience on iOS, AppleTV OS, iPad OS, every time. I have a mid year 2012 MacBook Pro I barely use because there’s a weird issue with the Apple ID always requesting I sign it in, but it shows up in my Find My. But it’s become a headache. And my Dell on Windows 10 sucks. Outlook always has some weird thing it does like nit highlight a folder I’m dropping work in or Adobe Pro license sometimes lets me access certain functions some days, other days its quirky. I’m so sick of Windows issues I refuse to use it in my personal life. So, when I turn to apple. Functionality is more important than design to me. At the end of the day. I get use to how an iPhone looks. And the current iPhone I actually like the design. If they change it up every 5 years cool. But I need functionality to work flawless every year or I’m not going to like the product. That’s my honest answer. I’m a quality over quantity guy any day of the week because as much as I liked No Limit in their prime dropping albums every week. I still like a Kendrick Lamar album every 5 years because I know it’s going to be dope and show growth. That’s my example.

[sidewaysdog]

Imma say Apple is gonna stick with the dynamic island until it isn't cool anymore. Like when people got sick of the notch they moved to the island same kinda thing. That's when they are gonna put nothing. It wouldn't make sense to put it in unless they NEED a design change.

[eclecticaro]

Get Johny Ive to put USB C on the back of the iphone - they could call it "revolutionary wired charging". They could also do away with the screens completely and just leave big black notch - they could call it "dynamic continent"..

[smithfield]

Question, just recently upgraded from iPhone 11 to 13, can anybody recommend a MagSafe wireless charger: the official apple MagSafe charger or should I get a 3rd party? In relation to the above video, I would love to see an Apple Watch with Touch ID or Face ID.

[QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx]

I don’t really like the design of the MacBook Air as the Colours are too darker and the round bottom isn’t that great. The iPhone 14 dynamic island takes up too much screen space. In addition, the iPad 10 disaster and discontinuing the mini is a bad choice.

[MrCoords]

Why would I want to fold my phone? I don't get it. What is the added value of creating a foldable iphone.

[ricardoamesquitajr.]

Sounds like Apple needs a Zavlaf & Gunn to come in!
