Decided to order the AirPods 4 with noise canceling while they're on sale. Hoping they fit better than my AirPods 3.

how do they fit into your ears? I had to return mine cause I couldn't talk, run or even use the stairs without them falling out

For me, they fit a lot more comfortably than the 3s. Sorry they didn't work for you!

My 2017 Macbook Pro w/ touchbar took a tumble off my bed and the screen cracked. RIP sweet prince. 

 

 

I ordered the the 16 pro earlier with 1tb but now Idk if should've went for the pro max 516gb even if I find it a lil too big   but the more storage the better so I'm conflicted now  

 

Upgrading from the regular iPhone 12

Edited May 31, 20251 yr by Chromatica

My sim card randomly failed and had me on SOS for two days straight and now I have an eSim

 

I thought about just upgrading from my 13 Pro Max, but I might just wait for the next phone to come out and see what it's giving  if those leaks are true that **** look ugly af

Bloomberg: Apple to Kick Off Three-Year Plan to Reinvent Its Iconic iPhone

Apple is weeks away from its big product launch event, where it will lay the foundation for a once-in-a-generation iPhone overhaul.

 

2025: iPhone Air

It all starts in September with the iPhone Air — a skinny new model that will replace the iPhone 16 Plus. This product follows the MacBook Air laptop strategy that Apple first embraced in 2008: thinner, lighter and instantly marketable.

 

Like Air computers over the years, there will be compromises: Battery life will be subpar, with only one rear camera and no room for a physical SIM-card slot. The iPhone Air also will use Apple's first in-house modem chip — rather than more powerful versions from Qualcomm Inc.

 

Alongside the new Air, we'll get the iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. These will look familiar — basically the iPhone 16 in slightly different clothes. The Pro models will have a revamped camera system and updated industrial design on the back of the phone. The Pro models also will be available in an orange color (the Air, meanwhile, will come in light blue). But don't expect eye-catching changes.

 

2026: Foldable iPhone

The game changer arrives in 2026: Apple's first foldable iPhone. Code-named V68, it looks like Samsung Electronics Co.'s book-style foldables that open into a small tablet. It's slated to feature four cameras (one on the front, one on the inside and two on the back) and — like the iPhone Air — will lack a SIM-card slot. It also will use Touch ID instead of Face ID, making it a bit of a throwback in that respect. But I still think it will be hugely popular with Apple's legion of consumers who are willing to spend whatever to get the latest and greatest.

 

Though Apple's plans could evolve, the company is currently only testing variations of black and white for the folding phone with suppliers. The device will also include the C2 modem, which will be the company's first cellular chip with capabilities approaching the latest from Qualcomm. (The iPhone 18 Pro line, which won't look much different than the 17 Pro, also will use this modem chip.)

 

Apple recently made a change to the screen technology in its foldable iPhone. The original plan was to rely on what are known as on-cell touch sensors, a different approach than current iPhones use. But they can create air gaps between the screen and its cover — and make the unfolded display's crease look more pronounced. I'm told that Apple is now pivoting to an in-cell touch screen, something closer to what's already in the iPhone. That should help make the crease less obvious and improve touch accuracy.

 

2027: 20th Anniversary

Then comes 2027, when Apple celebrates its smartphone's 20th birthday with a curved-glass "iPhone 20." This design will finally break from the squared-off slab we've lived with since 2020 and move to an approach with curved glass edges all around. It should fit nicely with the new Liquid Glass-based interface for iOS and other operating systems due to be released next month.

 

The bottom line: 2025 won't be a revolutionary year for the iPhone. But it will lay the foundation for major shifts in 2026 and 2027, making it an exciting time for iPhone fans.

Thank you for sharing this. I feel like the last 5 or so years have been saying "Next year will be the one"

 

My contract ends in 2026 anyway, so I gotta wait regardless. I have no issues with iPhone 15 Pro as of right now. Might replace the battery next year and wait till 2027.

Literally, tech is so boring now. We've plateaued I fear 

Do we know if the Airpods Pro 3 announcement is likely or not? I can't stop reading contradictory stuff. I wanted to buy some Airpods Pro 2 but if the 3rd version is coming next month, I'm definitely waiting.
