Battery life is the only thing I’m interested in. Not only does the 18 perform great, but it gets insane battery too.

I’m not buying it because no SIM card slot, but it does have me interested.

    I think physical SIM slots are probably done for, why add more hardware that is "unnecessary" now?

    Because not all carriers easily support esim. Last I was in Costa Rica maybe 1 carrier supported esim for prepaid lines, but will the employee at the store know how to set that up? Physical sim? Yeah, they'll do it in a minute or two. I guess the 18 will force them to learn, but in some fuck ass small town how many people are rocking an iphone 18 and a prepaid line?

    I'd love to get a phone that supports mmwave 5g, but the freedom of physical sim is well worth it. Also I spent a fuck ton importing this 15 pro, I'm not just chucking it willy nilly.

    This does indeed get better every generation.

    I suppose the 16 hit the point of diminishing returns, for me. It lasts all day, even when busy on vacation or something, though I acknowledge that’s entirely dependent on one’s usage.
