Apple considering new high end phone after the Pro MAX... are they completely nuts now?

iPhone 15 Pro MAX Hyper Megaperls Ultra?

i guess they didn't get the memo: WE POOR

The separation between the 1% and the others is getting more ridiculous by the day.

Ugh I’m an Apple user and like they are getting ridiculous and can’t say I’m happy about it

It's just like credit cards. We had gold cards, then platinum, then diamond... when the plebes are spending all their money to buy the "high-end" stuff, make something even more "high-end"!

I can't even afford the low end Apple stuff, not really. I made payments on my iPhone SE last year.

Nobody should have to go into debt for these things. It's all part of the unending cycle of consumerism and always-increasing profits.

Rumour has it that it's supposed to have physically telescoping optics. But, as long as they keep their "low end" lines, who cares if they make a super-high end one? The stuff included there always filters down the line in subsequent years.

I'd love to have a better optical zoom on my phone camera system. I wouldn't be willing to pay a whole bunch extra, but if it shows up in the mid tier in a few years, that's a win.

That reminds me of when I finally upgraded my Android; I had to prod the salesperson to show me higher-tier stuff because of a particular feature I wanted (although I really appreciated the lack of upsell).
