I will watch the Apple presentation announcing the new phones but based on the current rumors, I will likely stick with my XS Max - and I am OK with that. My iPad is a couple years old so this might be my year to upgrade to the newest iPad then next year update to the 2020 5G (hopefully with USB C).It's going to be sad watching Tim try to sell this on stage in the Fall. Those with an X or XS model will have practically no reason to upgrade until the 2020 5G phones come out with USB C ports.
Says it's innovative. Proceeds to post meaningless specs as proof. Yikes.The Note 10 is more innovative device, than the new iPhone XS (S)

Why would anyone update for the sake of 5G or a different connector?It's going to be sad watching Tim try to sell this on stage in the Fall. Those with an X or XS model will have practically no reason to upgrade until the 2020 5G phones come out with USB C ports.
Smart HDR, Adjustable DOF, (much) better stereo sound (it sounds almost surround to me).What secret feature did the XS have? Being Sold in Gold Colour?
It won't.I sure hope the smaller form factor in 2020 comes to fruition. Every time I pick up any of the iPhone X series phones they feel like such chonky bois and a step backwards to what I want from a smart phone.
There’s something you might not know, most people can’t see the difference between 828P and 1080P. Here’s another thing you might not know, all those Samsung phones that come with those Ultra HD screens are actually just downscaled to 1080P by default, to save on battery, and because Samsung knows that most people can’t tell the difference.
It doesn't impress anyone that you don't spend your money. Life is too short not to be experiencing some of the things that are made for you to experience. A lot has happened since the 6S that has changed and enriched people's lives dramatically.I was already planning to stick with my 6S for another couple of years. Once it stops getting software updates, I may have to replace it... but I’m never spending $1000 on a phone again. What Apple’s offering at that time will determine whether I stick with the Fruit or not.
So your price sensitive?
FYI, I am on the iPhone upgrade program so I do get a new phone every year. But I do it because I can afford to do so not because I expect a radically different phone every year. It makes absolutely no sense for Apple to redesign the iPhone every year just to satisfy the small number of techies who get bored easily. And I guarantee you if Apple had a new chassis design or other major upgrades ever year you’d get people complaining about planned obsolescence and how Apple is doing this to force people to buy a new phone.
Huh? When have I combined my opinions with fact? The XR is the best selling iPhone- fact. In my opinion, the phone should include a 1080p screen. When did I ever say my opinion is right, everyone follow suit? No s--- Apple doesn't take requests, I didn't mean it literally. When did I ever say my opinion will have any bearing on what people spend money on?So the resolution doesn’t matter.
Actually it doesn’t. Your not making very little sense.
No it’s not. Apple designs their products and offers them for sale. Consumers choose how and where to spend their money. It’s the basic premise of a free market.
I have never once seen apple “take requests” , so reasonable or otherwise, not really warranted.
You seem to be conflating opinion as fact and expecting everyone to follow blindly. That’s not the way it works.
I have an opinion and because of it picked up an Xs max.
Would I like it to be thinner?
Damn straight.
Would I pay more for it?
In a heartbeat.
But that’s not going to happen and guess what it doesn’t affect what other consumers will buy.
Just like your opinion has no bearing on what apple will or won’t do next or what consumers spend their money on.
I am getting it. Bezels on my 8 plus are too big for 2019.
should have sprung for a X back then. I was on the fence too but so glad I went over this way.I am getting it. Bezels on my 8 plus are too big for 2019.
Better stereo sound? The speaker is just louder lol. The others aren't really special since they can be done by Software. Just Like 3D Touch and Portrait.Smart HDR, Adjustable DOF, (much) better stereo sound (it sounds almost surround to me).
These aren't the only new features, these are the ones that have not been rumored.
, in my opinion, Apple should outfit the new iPhone R with a 1080p screen.
Sorry what’s innovative there? Must have missed it.The Note 10 is more innovative device, than the new iPhone XS (S)

But wouldn't you want your iPhone screen to feel even smoother by having 120hz refresh rate? What about being able to use your iPhone for 2 days straight without needing to charge? Like increase the battery size by making other components smaller? What about having the option to use Face ID and in display fingerprint? What about creating a new file system for their SSD's in which would speed up iOS first launch by making your iPhone turn on instantly in case it was shutdown, that can be useful for emergencies. What about being able to charge your iPhone wirelessly, I mean really wirelessly by having a router connected to your mains and between 10-20m the iPhone would receive charge? What about decreasing the Notch in order to still accomodate all the components by making them smaller, in order to increase screen size? What about the camera being able to detect that you're taking a picture in low light and instantly create a night mode just like Pixel Phones in order to make night pictures looking just like they were shot at daylight?I love these posts;very entertaining.
No innovation! I want to me able to use my iPhone as a projector to watch Twitch! I just laugh.
12MP Wide + 16MP Ultra Wide + 12MP Zoom + DepthVison ToFSorry what’s innovative there? Must have missed it.
What is getting annoying is that you keep saying this but don't quantify it at all. You just keep hiding behind "hey its my opinion" as if anyone cares more/less/differently because it is your opinion.In my opinion, the phone should include a 1080p screen.
These are just some innovations they could make. But it's easier to sell the same package at a higher price with a new colour.
