* Periscope telephoto lens: Up to 5x-6x optical zoom ('https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/18/iphone-15-pro-max-5-6x-optical-zoom/'), exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro Max

Oh, screw you, Apple. I am so tired of the best camera features only coming on the "larger than I want" version of the phone. Dating all the way back to the iPhone 6, where only the 6 Plus got image stabilization. Regularly, Apple has included photo features on only the Plus/Max size phone, not the regular. It should be a *PRO* thing, not a "Max" thing. This was my year to upgrade, but I really want the better zoom, so now I'll be waiting an extra year and hoping (like in past iterations) the better photo feature trickles down the following year.

SIM card slot removed in more countries: France ('https://www.macrumors.com/2023/03/27/iphone-15-esim-only-france-rumor/') and potentially others
This is definitely my favorite new feature. It’s always so exciting when Apple takes things away from us. I love those features the best.

Very odd to list the SIM card removal in more countries as a feature. Feels like a detriment.

I agree that removing the physical sim is more of a downgrade than a feature.
