I’m imagining what the perfect iPhone should be, and what improvements Apple may need to work on to get even closer to perfection.
As a fan and long-time user of Apple products, I always look forward to the release of the next iPhone. While the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max is impressive with its sleek design and cool features, there are still a few areas where I believe there is room for improvement.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max seems to be an even fancier device (judging by leaks, at least), and that’s sparked my imagination. If I were in Apple’s shoes, here are the changes and innovations I would implement in the next iteration of the iPhone, to make it even fancier.
Design: lighter, please (flashback – the 13 Pro Max falling on my nose one evening…)
The iPhone’s design has always been very appealing to me, with this understated elegance and functionality. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is undeniably a stunning device with its gorgeous display and premium titanium build. However, one aspect that could use some refinement is its weight.

Yep, Apple did make the 15 Pro Max’s frame from titanium to try to address this situation. But for me, 20g is not enough of a weight loss. It’s only too much when it comes to my Chihuahua. The Pro Max is still quite heavy, making it quite the load when talking (without using earbuds), carrying it in a pocket, or enjoying some Instagram in bed. And nope, I don’t want a smaller screen.
To solve this issue, I would research materials and modifications of the design that could reduce the overall weight without compromising durability or looks. Imagine an iPhone that maintains its strong build yet feels noticeably lighter in the hand (and on the face!) – that would be a notable improvement.
Also, we now have a growing trend of foldable smartphones. And I’m here for a foldable iPhone too. Introducing an iPhone Flip could be a game-changer, and I may be waiting in line to get one. However, it is crucial that any foldable iPhone be free of the dreaded crease that plagues many of its competitors, and annoys me beyond myself when scrolling.

A seamless, crease-free foldable iPhone will offer us the best of both worlds: a large screen when needed and a compact form factor for portability.
