For my part, I find the iOS changes not all that exciting. At least nothing has broken that I know of so far.

(Surely Dynamic Island could be a feature with the 'notch' phones ('Dynamic Peninsula')? And that would give more incentive for app developers to support it?)

I have yet to develop any interest in customizing lock screens.

And we still have to wait for iPadOS 16.1, and Ventura.

Will Stage Manager be useful? What about Continuity Camera?

I have talked myself into trading up to iPhone 14 Pro Max, mostly for the improved cameras and display. I'm doubtful that always-on display or Dynamic Island will have much value for me.

Also AirPods Pro. My previous ones went through at least one too many wash cycles, and became deaf (can't use them to make phone calls). Also looking forward to volume control (something they should have added to AirPods 3) and better audio/transparency/noise cancellation. I'll probably continue to use Beats Fit Pro for workouts (and bouts of insomnia) as they are less likely to pop out.
