Dear Apple, Here’s What We Want the Next iPhone to Do!
Highlights
- A detailed wishlist for the next iPhone.
- A call for lighter iPhones and tweaks to camera colours to enhance photo quality.
- Advocacy for refining camera algorithms to produce more true-to-life colours and tones, ensuring that photos capture scenes as they appear to the human eye.
As a team of tech enthusiasts who have been a fan of Apple gear for ages, we at My Mobiles are always hyped for the next iPhone drop.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is obviously super sleek and loaded with cool stuff, but hey, there’s always room to level up, right?
Now, let’s talk dreams of every Apple user out there.
We are always dreaming about the next iPhone and anticipating what engineers at Apple might be planning.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max looks like it’s gonna be even snazzier (if the leaks are anything to go by), and that’s got our brains spinning.
But we can’t stop thinking of our wishlist for the next iPhone.
Assuming we were calling the shots at Apple, here’s what we would cook up to take the next iPhone to the next level of fancy.
Software
In our books, Apple rules the roost when it comes to performance and software.
And there is hardly anything that you as a user can suggest that the Apple engineers haven’t already thought of.
Take the iPhone 15 Pro Max, for example.
That A17 Bionic chip is a speed demon and pure efficiency.
And the iOS just keeps getting better, especially with iOS 18 bringing in more customizations and that touch of Apple Intelligence.
So, here’s our two cents: Stick to your guns.
Keep focusing on top-notch performance and pushing for excellence.
That’s the winning formula right there.
Camera
You know, the camera setup on the iPhone 15 Pro Max is pretty darn impressive.
Those sensors churn out some seriously top-notch pics.
But here’s the thing: the photography buffs always find a bone to pick.
It’s the whole oversharpened details and super vibrant colours that sometimes kill the deal.
Sure, to the average eye snapping selfies or group pics, this might not be a big deal.
iPhone cameras to produce images with oversharpened details and vibrant colorsBut those enhancements make photos pop in an unnatural way.
And let’s not forget the beauty of real life.
So, here’s our pitch for the next iPhone: Let’s fine-tune those camera algorithms.
Let’s aim for photos that capture scenes the way our eyes see them.
Natural colours, subtle contrasts—none of that overly processed stuff.
And if there are folks who still dig the Insta-ready vibe, the least you can do is give us the option to dial it back to the original shot before the tweaks kick in.
Is this too much to ask for?
Design
You know what is always the high point for most users when it comes to iPhones?
That sleek, classy design!
The iPhone 15 Pro Max too is a real looker, there is no doubt about that.
That stunning display, that premium titanium build, it has got all.
But it is time we talk about the weight.
Apple tried to trim it down by using titanium, but for most everyday users, 20g is still on the heavier side of the “how much your smartphone weighs” scale.
So, here’s the plan: Let’s dig into some materials and design tweaks to shed some pounds without sacrificing durability or style.
Imagine an iPhone that’s still tough as nails but feels lighter than air in your hand (and on your face!).
Now, that’d be a game-changer.
Oh, and speaking of game-changers?
We hope we aren’t being hasty in imagining Foldable iPhones.
Because sign us up!
But there too is the catch, since Apple has to do its best – No creases, please!
If you are planning on foldable devices in future, give us a seamless, crease-free foldable iPhone, and you’ve got a winner.
And let’s not forget about colours.
How about a Product RED iPhone 15 Pro Max? Heck, why stop there?
Give us the whole rainbow!
It’s not that much to ask for—just a handful of shades to choose from.
We’ll take whatever you’ve got!
Overall, when it comes to iPhones, Apple has always been the gold standard for sleek design and buttery-smooth performance.
If Apple keeps working on making them lighter, tweaking those camera colours, and giving us even more juice in the battery, they’ll keep us buzzing with excitement and leaving the competition in the dust.

Google’s Tensor G5 to Use TSMC’s 3nm Process, Enhancing Performance and Efficiency in 2025
Highlights
- Google to switch from Samsung to TSMC for its Tensor G5 SoC production in 2025.
- Tensor G5 to utilize TSMC’s advanced 3nm process, promising better performance and power efficiency.
- Move aims to address performance gaps compared to Qualcomm and MediaTek chips.
- New Tensor G5 will be featured in the upcoming Pixel devices, enhancing their competitive edge.
Google is set to switch to TSMC for its proprietary Tensor G5 SoC in 2025.
The new report reveals that Google’s switch will also bring a 3nm process to the Tensor G5 in Pixel devices.
Of course, that brings with it more than performance, which is something that the Tensor chipsets lack when placed in competition with Qualcomm and MediaTek.
It brings power efficiency as well.
A representative from a major global foundry company stated, “The main reason big customers choose TSMC is the difference in chip power efficiency offered by both companies at cutting-edge processes.”
The representative also highlighted challenges in heat management. “Heat issues in semiconductors have been a longstanding challenge for leading chip manufacturers over the past 20 years, but it has become a crucial issue with the onset of the AI semiconductor era,” they explained. “In mobile chips, heat issues can compromise the entire structure of smartphones, and for server chips, the heat generated by one server rack can spread like wildfire, potentially causing overload across the entire server.”
Samsung to be Replaced by TSMC
Since the debut of the first Tensor chip in the Pixel 6 series in 2021, Google has been using Samsung to produce its subsequent chips.
This was partly because Samsung’s Exynos provided a foundation for Tensor.
However, as Google approaches the tenth Pixel generation, the company is gearing up for a significant change.
As reported in July 2023, Google has struck a deal with TSMC to produce the first fully custom Tensor chip for Pixel devices, likely called Tensor G5 if Google keeps its existing numbering scheme.
Since the initial report, development has continued to progress, including Google locking down testing facilities for the chip.
A 3nm Wave for Upcoming SoCs
A recent report offers additional information.
Business Korea reports that Google will be using TSMC’s 3nm process for this upcoming Tensor generation.
Qualcomm will likely be the sole SoC supplier for the Samsung Galaxy S25 (vs. 40% for the S24), as the Exynos 2500 may not ship due to Samsung’s lower-than-expected 3nm yield.
In addition to the significant increase in supply share, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will see a price…
— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) June 17, 2024
This comes as no surprise, as Apple started leveraging this process on the 2023 iPhone 15 Pro lineup, and both Qualcomm and MediaTek are also expected to adopt the newer process with their upcoming generations.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that Samsung may end up shifting back to a Snapdragon-only approach for the Galaxy S25 next year.
Why this change?
To few people’s surprise, the report goes on to discuss that Samsung, is struggling with yield and power efficiency issues, including on the upcoming Exynos 2500 chip.
Power consumption and heat performance are said to be about 10-20% lower than TSMC’s 3nm process.
The current Tensor G3 is built on a 4nm Samsung process, and by late-2025, switching to 3nm was inevitable.
Will it improve the performance metrics on the Pixel 10?
That is question which will be answered in due time.
FAQs

What the Leaks Say About the Razr Plus 2024
flip the script pic.twitter.com/MBI8YQj229
— Arsène Lupin (@MysteryLupin) June 19, 2024
A tipster, @MysteryLupin, shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) resembling a teaser for the upcoming model.
The video starts by showing the cover display with thinner bezels than previous models.
However, the display does not look significantly different from its predecessors.
After the display, the video shows the upcoming device will come with improved water resistance, touting “underwater protection.”
The disclaimer mentions IPX8 resistance, which is a mixed improvement compared to previous models’ IP52 dust and water resistance, allowing splashes but not full submersion.
Along with water resistance, dust protection is highlighted, which is uncommon on many foldable smartphones currently available.
For instance, Samsung only offers water resistance.
An Upgraded Camera Setup?
For camera enthusiasts, the video reveals one of the cameras will offer telephoto zoom.
The previous Razr Plus model, released in 2023, had a standard camera alongside an ultrawide, as most dual-camera devices opt for nowadays.
Telephoto cameras are rare on foldable flip phones, so this is a welcome addition to the new Motorola Razr Plus, but it’s unclear if it comes at the cost of an ultrawide shooter.
To compete with the AI world, the smartphone will also feature AI capabilities.
In the video, the camera is apparently “AI-powered,”and the device includes “Moto AI.”
According to some of the previous leaks of Motorola’s upcoming Razr Plus, there isn’t any detail on significant changes to the foldable flip phone.
While the cheaper model seemed to be getting a full-size cover display, the flagship looked to just be getting a spec bump.
However, this leaked, official-looking video offers a couple of interesting details.
In previous leaks, the new Razr Plus is said to come with a slightly larger 4000 mAh battery, compared to the 3800 mAh one inside the last generation.
It may also feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 3 chipset.

Code in Android 15 Beta 3 hints the upcoming Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro phones could feature a “Creative Assistant”.
Pixel 9 Series: Creative Google Assistant?
As per Android Authority, this tool, likely exclusive to Pixel phones initially, could use AI to generate stickers and emojis, similar to Apple’s Genmoji feature.
The Markup app mentions a “remix” button seemingly connected to the Creative Assistant.
This suggests users might create AI-generated stickers and add them to screenshots or images.
One question is whether the Creative Assistant will work directly on the phone or rely on cloud computing.
Android 15 Beta 3 suggests that Google is working on a “Creative Assistant” app that could use generative AI to create custom stickers. The app isn’t available yet, but it could be something we’ll see on the Pixel 9.

The expected Tensor G4 chip and Gemini Nano in the Pixel 9 could potentially handle sticker generation due to their smaller size and resolution compared to other images.
The Creative Assistant seems a natural next step for Google’s Gboard app, which includes the Emoji Kitchen for combining emojis.
The new tool could offer generative features for creating entirely new emojis.
Whether it will rival Apple’s Genmoji, unveiled at WWDC for generating emojis in the messenger app, remains to be seen.
Google usually rolls out exclusive Pixel features to other devices over time, or as a paid Google One feature.
The possibility of exclusive AI features on Pixel phones could make them more attractive compared to other Android phones.
More information is needed to see how Google’s AI creativity tool compares to Apple’s Genmoji and if it will be accessible to a wider range of users.

Our team of researchers and engineers is constantly innovating to make GenAI faster and lighter, so our Snapchat community can create and communicate with their friends on the go.”
“The rebuilt Lens Studio is designed for productivity, modularity, and speed. Lens Studio now features a plugin system that enables developers to extend Editor capabilities to fit their needs. It’s also a more supportive platform for team development and advanced creation, with extensive support for JavaScript, TypeScript, Version Control, and package management.”
Snapchat Gen AI in AR
Snap is previewing a real-time image model capable of bringing imagination into augmented reality (AR) in an instant.
Currently, this very early prototype allows a user to type in an idea for a transformation and vivid AR experiences will come alive real time.

Apple Shifts Focus to Affordable Vision Pro Model, Pauses Work on Vision Pro 2: Report
Highlights
- Apple halts work on advanced Vision Pro model to prioritize a cheaper variant.
- The affordable Vision Pro is expected to launch by late 2025 with a target price of $1,500.
- New model aims to compete with lower-cost mixed reality headsets like Meta Quest.
- Key features might be scaled back to reduce costs, including potentially removing EyeSight.
Apple has paused work related to its next-generation Mixed Reality headset, the model succeeding the Vision Pro, to focus on a cheaper variant, according to a report by The Information.
Recently, Apple extended availability of the current Vision Pro into eight more countries while showcasing upcoming software updates for visionOS 2 at WWDC 2024.
Cheaper Model Slated for Late 2025
The report claims Apple is now focusing on a lower-cost model of the Vision Pro that could come as early as 2025, while putting on hold work on an advanced second-generation model of the Vision Pro.
Apple has paused work on an advanced second-generation model of the Vision Pro, a move signaling a new emphasis on making its headset more affordable.
The target price for the cheaper Apple Vision headset is around $1500.
This aims to compete with products like Meta Quest, significantly lower than the current $3,500 Vision Pro.
Initially, Apple planned multiple models in the Vision lineup, but now it seems only the lower-cost model will move forward.
The staffing for the second-generation Vision Pro has been on a downward trajectory over the last year, a sure sign of a gradual pivot to the cheaper model.
But even with cost-cutting attempts that do not compromise quality, engineering challenges persist, especially in weight reduction, a common critique of the Vision Pro.
Future Vision Pro Products
Apple has always had two new Vision products in the pipeline: a thinner, more affordable version of the Vision Pro and better, more powerful follow-up, supposedly Vision Pro 2.
While all hopes on the latter product seem to fade into the indefinite hold, the former still remains under development, although a little in standstill.
That’s tricky to make the Vision Pro more affordable; Apple doesn’t know what corners to cut.
It wants to keep its high-res optics, which for the company are among the most expensive features that it makes.
While this report makes it seem like Apple is still committed to the Vision line, it also shows the company may have hit a rare flop in its roster.
While the Vision Pro is clearly a forward-thinking product, Apple is still a profit-seeking organization, and if it doesn’t sell, the company will need to move on, eventually.

Apple has decided to focus on developing a more affordable version of the Vision Pro to make the technology accessible to a wider audience and compete with other lower-cost mixed reality headsets.
When is the affordable Vision Pro model expected to be released?
The cheaper Vision Pro model is expected to be released by late 2025.
What is the anticipated price for the affordable Vision Pro model?

This originated with the first ‘Call Home’ program which allowed nearly 2,500 athletes to speak to their families back home for free in 1998, when access to mobile phones was limited.
It continued with the Wireless Olympic Works (WOW) app, the first official Olympic information service on mobile.
The WOW app was introduced to Olympic organizers via Samsung-supplied Palm OS phones at Athens 2004 and then was made available to the public at Vancouver 2010, providing fans with the latest Games-time updates straight to their mobile phones.
Samsung has also contributed to how athletes and staff, connect and communicate during the Games-time.
Since Nagano 1998, Samsung has provided athletes and staff with a total of more than 120,000 mobile products.
Did Galaxy S24 Ultra Gives Viewers Front Row Seat to the Games ?
To bring fans at home closer to the action and provide an intimate glimpse of athletes’ reactions during this once-in-a-lifetime voyage, Samsung will install more than 200 Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones at the bow and sides of each of the 85 athlete vessels at the opening ceremony.
The high-quality HDR footage taken with the Galaxy S24 Ultra devices will be shared and streamed via a private 5G network powered by Orange, the official mobile network provider of Paris 2024 in France.
Orange will install more than a dozen 5G antennas along the Seine to create the first-ever 5G standalone network in France, as this pioneering collaboration is designed to ensure a seamless 5G connectivity and viewing experience for fans around the world.
Samsung will also deploy the same technology for the sailing competitions in Marseille by installing the Galaxy S24 Ultra on each competition boat, letting fans experience the thrill of the race alongside their favorite Olympians and allowing them to truly get in on the action.
This presented a whole new set of challenges and months of research, development and testing — in close collaboration with the OBS and Orange — to guarantee video quality and connectivity performance across various bodies of water and weather conditions, which can be really windy with huge waves or extremely hot and sunny.
Samsung and its partners addressed these challenges by leveraging the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s optical image stabilization (OIS) features, increasing transmission power and installing relay towers on chase boat to ensure a seamless livestream experience for viewers.
