Movies already loose a ton of impact if watched on a smartphone screen.Wow! Films will look like soap operas.Hopefully that feature can be disabled for film playback?
Yeah saw that, though from the looks of it (especially the bezels) it's probably not a flexible OLED, which is what Apple needs for their form factor. But the technique is coming so it should be on the 2020 iPhone.
Lol, I think you're overestimating the importance of features on a new iPhone. They could just do a spec bump and it would still sell about the same (give or take a couple of percent) as last year's iPhone.
Im betting not. People that wanted a new redesign phone either bought the X or the XS lines. I don't see a camera bump upgrade alone selling many phones besides the people that really need one or the super rare that always want the latest and greatest. Im betting if we get what we see apple will not produce as many as prior years.
Combine that with the capability to capture Full-Res 12 Mpx photos @ 120 fps & then they've got something really significant !
These memes are getting annoying.
Isn't it obvie?
Natch... Natural.
Just kidding, I had to look that thing up... just like the first time someone said obvie around me.
Interesing. But I guess the next series of innovations will happen more and more on the software side of things. Artificial Intelligence, AR (which, in my opinion, has been nothing more than a gimmick on phones up to now), Voice assistants, software assisted camera tech and so on and so forth. Smartphones have reached, faster than computers, a point to which they are "really good" for a couple of years. No one will spend for a new Bionic chip or improved camera or 120 HZ screen if the software doesn't provide SIGNIFICANTLY better experience. I own an iPhone X, other than some more effects on portrait mode, there's really nothing that screamed "buy me" in the iPhone XS. Yes, opening apps is a millisecond faster, yes, unlocking is a millisecond faster (although iOS 13 up to now already provides a better unlock responsiveness than previously on my iPhone X). So... Apple better get to work on SIRI, MEANINGFUL AUGMENTED REALITY, WATERPROOFING, SCRATCH PROOFING, UI (home screen is still useless and some aspects of iOS 13 are still a mess (left swipe and you see what i mean), ADAPTIVE UI (not only dark mode, but a UI that adapts based on time of day, location, context). When at work i want mails and calendar to be all over the place, on weekends i want camera, camera roll, maps to be at the center of the stage... I want a phone that "changes" according to the time of day and location instead of me having to jiggle apps around, notifications that become more or less prominent according to where I am. "It has been a while since you last stepped on a balance" "why don't you go for a walk?", WHO CARES WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING?
Count me as one of the people who will not buy a new iPhone just because of better camera. For some, better camera will be the main reason to upgrade. Fortunately, I am not in that better camera enthusiast group.
So the 2019 iPhone keeps the notch, same display, same design, no 5G, no thanks.
Keeping my X for another year to eek some more use out of that $999..

Asus has 120Hz OLED, just announced. OnePlus has 90Hz OLED available for a few months already. Others will be following later this year. If this is for 2020, Apple is more than fashionable late to the party. Again. They're not changing the smartphone market with it as stated in the article, they're following.
ROG announces their 120Hz OLED phone and the next day there is a rumor that Apple will make one? Anyone can be an Apple analyst...

Razer uses LCD display, this is OLED. The closest to this is OnePlus' 7 Pro which as 90Hz OLED.
No thanks.
Asus can keep their 10mm brick.
And some claim the iPhone 11 to be ugly.
I know. I’m dying to upgrade from 6S but I should wait for the 2020 phones. It’s going to be one long wait.
Good to see, one of my favorite iPad Pro features. New design, 3D cameras, and ProMotion will be a nice upgrade.
Why? You do realise that each phone is years in development. They don't release a new iPhone and then spend the next 12 months working on next years iPhone from scratch. By the time this years iPhone is announced work will be pretty much complete on the 2020 iPhone.
Wow! Films will look like soap operas.
This isn't really how high-refresh panels work. What you're describing is a smoothing feature that TV manufacturers love to enable by default, but this just isn't a thing on high-refresh monitors. I have a 144hz gaming display and YouTube videos still play at 30fps. It's all based on the source content; and I'm sure Apple will drop to 60hz for full-screen video to conserve battery life.
