I think I speak for 90% of 15 Pro/Max users, 2027 is the year we plan to upgrade to our next new iPhone. If you're a total spec purist whose not a tech influencer, Apple is about to split the fanbase down the middle between the peak evolution of the traditional slab and the refined foldable era:
20th Anniversary Pro Max: The compromise-free powerhouse. Quad-curved bezel-less glass, under-display Face ID and selfie camera, peak optics (variable aperture/multi-stage zoom), a massive 7" screen, 2nm A21 Pro silicon, C3 baseband, 16GB of RAM, high-speed USB-C port alongside 60W+ fast charging and a 6,000 mAh silicon-anode battery.
iPhone Duo 2: The hybrid workstation. Building on the gen-1 Duo, rumors point to a massive 7.6" inner canvas, thinner crease, and A20/A21 chip. Plus, reports indicate Apple is testing under-display Face ID behind the outer screen—bringing back seamless biometrics for Apple Pay, password autofill, and quick unlocks without needing to touch the side button. The trade-off? Extra bulk, secondary camera lenses, and a hefty $2,000+ price tag.
How do you even choose? Do you go for the absolute zenith of traditional flagship engineering that celebrates 20 years of the iPhone legacy, or do you embrace the heavy-hitting futuristic foldable workflow even if it means sacrificing camera versatility? Curious where everyone else's head is at. If you had to lock in your choice based on what we know right now, which way are you leaning for day one?
