Phones no longer excite me, the only thing that can get me and I suspect a lot of people now is lower prices. I can justify 500$ every 2-3 years, not North of 1000$

I'm typing this on my OnePlus 6 that I've had for 4 years and I'm hoping to have it for at least 2 more...

I’m still on Xs and it performs very well still, still gets full OS updates. Only camera is missing some features but still very good with most important elements like telephoto and 4K 60fps. Easily 5 years life cycle with modern phones.

The hero we need.

I remember reading about this maybe 4 years ago? A university in Boston had developed a method with LIDAR to successfully monitor glucose levels in a beaker of water. Assuming they're using tech from that study I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than we think

It won’t make it through proof of concept. Photonics don’t like dark things like dark skin. The melanin concentration distorts the “laser” and desensitize the reading.

Scums at apple will put in older slower version

I’m in the same exact boat. In the long run, I know it’s good, but I have all of the wires and everything now so I’d rather get a little bit more out of them before I move on.

Same, just upgraded to a 14, glad I did. I really don’t look forward to changing all our charger cords sometime in the future. (Which, is a good move overall! Don’t get me wrong. Just not fun for people who have accumulated a good stock of lightning cords.)

Happy to read that it helps people so much. I don't directly work on medical devices, but my company makes stuff which is used for the production of this device (can't get more specific than that, there are NDAs) and it's always a good feeling when I realize that my work has real impact on people's lives.

This. Prefect size and the fact the apple wallet dimensions fit perfectly

I wish my mini was smaller personally. But it’s a decent phone. I’m happy that Face ID works better than I expected. Leaving the button of the OG SE was hard

My younger sister (mid 20s) LOVES hers too. She strongly dislikes dexcom products. Practically saved her life one night - around 3am while sleeping her blood sugar was rapidly dropping, triggering her emergency text message alarms to family members.

She was so deeply out of it that her incoming phone calls/app alarms weren’t waking her. Eventually we got her boyfriend to her and he ended up sort of force feeding her. If he had been later in arriving we would’ve had to call 911. He said she was catatonic.

phones have plateaued

11Pro here also, glad I got 256gb, still plenty for me, and a new battery around 2 years was worth it. Maybe I'll get a 16.

It won’t feel magical to most people, but if you wait 2-3 cycles, enough upgrades accumulate that it becomes worthwhile (especially storage), and the longer useable lifespan helps defray the cost of a more expensive model (pro or more storage).

It’s the pattern of tech maturity we’ve seen in mainframes, desktops, laptops and handhelds since forever: rapid yearly advances at first as the market gets established and then longer periods of slower advancement as the market matures, often punctuated by actual disruptive innovation such as independent Graphics cards until the new technology also matures and the cycle continues.

Point taken but these rumors are real a LOT

Yawn

Honestly, USB-C is an upgrade that would get me to buy the next iPhone. I've had an iPad Pro for several years so it does make wonder sometimes why Apple didn't adopt the obviously superior design for all of their devices.

I just went from my three year-old iPhone 11 to an iPhone 12

I have hypoglycemia that is mostly just a mild inconvenience but sometimes very scary. This would legit be the best thing ever. I imagine it would also help a lot of people who don’t realize they are pre diabetic or having unusual blood sugar swings tackle it early.

So this basically means nothing

I was just riding with my iPhone XR, and it was falling apart. It was an amazing phone and lasted a long time, but just well past the time to get a new one.

For a few months, I was holding out trying to decide if I could wait out till the iPhone 15 or if I should just get the 14.

About a week or two ago I bit the bullet and got the 14 pro. Seeing these leaks makes me really happy. I made that decision.

They look basically the same.
