To be clear, I am on macOS as well along with PC that has both Windows and Pop!_OS for Linux. I follow industry news and this year is supposed to be a ‘S’ year as we just had Titanium to Tetraprism camera last year. I would prefer to skip the likely first generation hardware developments to support Apple Intelligence that would be quickly outpaced by its successor anyway as I grab the top-most model (Pro-Max-Ultra~) and keep it as long as it’s good.
Not at all saying skipping the iPhone for an Android but if mine can handle COD:Mobile (Game) at High Graphics then you’d just need to clear buildup iOS cache by restoring the device from a backup like iTunes if you’re on PC. Camera upgrades is the one am more interested with for my case which would be 48MP sensor for the Ultrawide this year and 48MP for the Telephoto next year to finally have all three camera on the same megapixel count along with the selfie camera getting a 24MP upgrade as well since the iPhone 6 if am not wrong.
