In principle, my iPhone 13 Pro Max device is enough, God willing, that it will serve me for at least one more year, if its battery and speed are excellent, and there is no need to exchange if the iPhone 15 is not much different, and the interactive island is beautiful, but it is not worth the exchange now
We are waiting for the new iPhone 16
Hello Mazen 😊 Of course, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is a great device and it can serve you for a long time, God willing. As for the iPhone 16, it will come with new improvements and features, but there is still time until we see how these changes affect the user experience. Enjoy your current device and stay updated with iPhoneIslam to get the latest Apple news 🍏📱
The problem is that Apple is supposed to launch augmented reality glasses at its next conference, but nothing new. Apple = postponement and other things like the charger that charges more than one device. It also postponed and even cancelled the entire project. Apple has been talking about the electric car for 7 years and we haven’t seen anything yet. I think there will be news of a postponement as well and perhaps the cancellation of the entire project. We have been hearing about a foldable phone for a while and they said it might be produced in 2026. I definitely think 2026 will come and the matter will be postponed until 2030. We finally said we will see the iPhone 15 Pro with a different design and as usual it was postponed.
Hello beautiful 😃! I understand your concerns about delays and cancellations related to certain Apple projects. But note that Apple always strives to create high-quality products and it may take time to ensure this is achieved. On the subject of augmented reality glasses, its launch may take until 2026 or 2027, as mentioned in the article. In any case, there is always hope that we will see new innovations from Apple in the future 🚀🍏.
Apple = postponement … other companies, a 120-watt charger, foldable phones, expandable phones, augmented and mixed reality glasses, and other technologies
As for Apple, unfortunately, your place is a secret
All of these technologies that I mentioned are years old
And only Apple knows that delaying is a frustrating thing 😓
Hello my beautiful! 😄 There is no doubt that some companies offer interesting and innovative technologies. But it cannot be denied that Apple is one of the leading companies in the field of technology. Apple takes its time developing its products to ensure high quality and a unique user experience. 🍏📱 For example, it was mentioned that Apple plans to release augmented reality glasses by 2026 or 2027, and a new iPhone SE with a 5G modem in 2025. Apple is always striving to improve and create great products for its loyal audience! 😊🚀
If the iPhone 15 Pro does not come with anything new, then the time will be appropriate to convert to Android and to Pixel devices exclusively.
!!! Very disappointing news about buttons 😞
Hello Nasser Al-Ziyadi! 😊 Don't worry about the changes in iPhone 15 Pro. There may be more features and improvements that have not yet been announced. In the end, the decision is up to your taste and requirements from the phone. I wish you a happy day! 🌟
Unfortunately, I started thinking seriously about moving to the s 23 ultra because of the large number of bugs in the ios system.
And the big improvement in Android
There is nothing new, the iPhone 15 will be like the iPhone 14, with minor improvements … and Apple should focus on the software in the iPhone because it is full of 🐜 bugs, and all users complain of many problems that have no solutions
Hi alvaroooo! 😊 I noticed that you indicate that the iPhone 15 will be like the iPhone 14 with minor improvements. Well, incremental developments could be part of Apple's strategy. And of course, the Apple team is constantly working on resolving issues and improving user experience 🛠️. We hope to see great improvements in the future! 🚀
Interesting news and your efforts are noticeable, thank you.
But the news of augmented reality glasses is confusing to me
Hi Moataz! 😊 Thank you for your positive feedback. As for the augmented reality glasses from Apple, the information currently available indicates that its launch is expected in 2026 or 2027 at the earliest. It depends on the development and production of the new MetaLens technology that will be used in these glasses. We hope this is less confusing for you. 😄👓
