2019 iPhones Said to Feature Larger Batteries Up to 3,500 mAh, Next iPhone XS May Have Dual Nano-SIM in China

Bad idea. The camera array, however big, still allows for a thinner overall case. Thicken the whole phone and when you add the case it will be significantly thicker. I think most people get a day out of their phone, so don't need the extra battery room. Apple has the the trade-offs just right for most of us.
Honestly, by making the phone that thick, they could incorporate significantly bigger batteries, which would be *chef kiss*
If the battery life was substantially increased, then sure. This though? Someone with an X on up (moving to the 11R) would be throwing money away (which is entirely their choice, but still.......)

This is pretty much what I wanted. The battery life on my XS is great but always could use more on days where I'm at high usage. I do use 3D Touch occasionally but wouldn't be torn up if it was removed. I love Face ID and don't even notice the notch 95% of the time.
How about dual SIM for the rest of the world?
I hope they color code the bump to the color of the back of the phone, it'll reduce the ugliness of the marshmallow bump.
Will be upgrading.

How about a ~5 year cycle - I personally am quite excited to upgrade from the 6. I guess I'll never know what 3D Touch was like...
That thickness would be just awful. Also, as far as I know, separating the camera module from the rest of the back glass is also quite practical because they use a much better glass, which is more scratch resistant. Imagine getting some scratches where the camera is and not being able to use the camera anymore.
Quite disappointed about the eSIM support. It's almost nonexistent outside US.

If you have an older phone, you'll be pleased by this year models.

New iPhone are not for people already owning an XS/XR.

Because inside it will be a totally different device. Not to speak about the new cameras...
The reason the battery is bigger on the XS and XS Max successor, is clearly because the display no longer needs to be ticker for 3D touch. If these battery claims are true, then 3D touch is dead. This is also why the XR battery size and life is unchanged, as it already does not have 3D touch.
Same here. I feel like I've bled just about every drop of usefulness out of my 6 after having it for 5 years, so to me, the XR's battery life will be a massive improvement and should be a pretty good step up over the long haul (another 5 yrs or so)
The biggest news here is that Digitimes of all places has the audacity to paywall content. :-|
I had the first 4 iPhones, then switched to Moto G phones. Dual sim was one of the main reasons I switched and have not switched back.
Would be tempted to get an iPhone in order to get an Apple Watch, but a single sim just is not practical for me, no way of getting around that. Was hoping that Apple might make the watch Android compatible (in the same way they made iPods Windows compatible) but I reckon that's unlikely.

??? processors are getting less power hungry year by year since iphone 4
