I’ll be interested to see what it ends up looking like for real. How big is it? Does it have a home button or other fingerprint sensor? What will the cameras bump like like? Will it have a notch or punch out. If it has a notch, will it still support island-style notifications? Etc etc.

If it starts at $499 or less and the specs are somewhere in the ballpark of what the rumors say then the iPhone 16 has very little reason to exist: same A18 SoC and 8 GB RAM, storage probably starts at the same 128 GB, OLED, same main camera, Face ID. So $300 more gets you an ultra-wide lens and a different display cutout (if even that)? Am I missing something?
Also, the upsell to the 16 Pro is suddenly quite steep.
This would/could be the best value iPhone since the original SE (2016).
