apple tipped their hand with usb c and the touchid button on the ipad air, I'm waiting for that in a phone. I shoot for a 3-4 year upgrade cycle anyway
Apple will sooner release an iPhone with no ports at all than one with USB-C.

not going to read 300 posts, but this new mini looks like a pretty nice phone. love the colors and the return of the sharp edges not least, every single rounded-edge apple device was incredibly meh.

does say something about the state of phones that i am looking primarily at the physical design.

no touch id? goddamn it apple I was prepared to get over the notch but I’m not prepared to pay that much for a phone I can’t use in public. guess this 7 keeps going till it dies and then I get an SE2 or w/e if they haven’t got their poo poo together

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

TBH if I hadn't just gotten one of the new SEs for $250 I'd probably spring for a 12 Mini.

I do love still having touchID though.

i didn't expect them to bring touchid back to the bigphones, not really possible to make that big a change less than 1 year before launch. maybe iphones 13 will all have touchid, but it wasn't going to happen this year

in the meantime i'm finding that pin unlocking suits my needs

also sometimes my iphone excess recognizes my face even with a mask, which is kinda wtf and not great, actually,

wide angles can encourage getting close into subjects which if it’s people can make them look hosed up
