No offense taken! I actually do use Bluetooth earbuds. I have a new pair of Samsung ones I like a lot.Hi GrumpyMom. I generally find your concerns over-the-top (no offense, but I remember our discussion about AirPods and supposed risks of bluetooth in wearables) however on 5G I do see why people get concerned about it in the long haul. I need to read more about it, but I am not entirely convinced about the way it works in regards to health... So, I'll probably stick with 4G for a while... Especially in the city where I live, which probably won't have 5G for the next 5 years anyways.
It's more likely due to poor diets, lack of exercise.Something is already causing colon cancer to become a concern among people under 30. The stats on that are very concerning. Even with a genetic predisposition, I wasn’t supposed to have to worry about that form of cancer until my late 50’s. But pre cancerous version of the tumor that my father fought in his 70’s and my grandfather fought at 80 struck me in my 40’s. It was fortunately caught in time. But my time should not have come as soon as it did. I exercise and eat well enough but it is a typical modern diet.
So whatever we need to be afraid of is already out there. Probably GMO food, but nobody really knows. I’ve read some of the health concerns of 5G. I am concerned but I’m still already concerned about other technology already in use in smartphones. I’m concerned about so many environmental toxins my govt allowed to be used with no restriction. The genie was already let out of the bottle. Not that that is any comfort. It’s not.
At any rate there’s been people very vocal and fighting 5G implementation. Some of them fighting it not over health concerns but because it’s infringing on local government oversight. And still it’s steamrolling its way toward implementation. If you truly want to stop 5G I’m not sure how you’d go about it when so much money is behind rolling it out.
I’m fine with 4G phones. I’m looking forward to the new XR.
It's not an iPhone 8SE, it's an iPhone SE2 with the internals of the iPhone 8, just like the iPhone SE had the internals of the iPhone 6S. (CPU, memory, etc).
Deleted. I misunderstood something, sorry.It's more likely due to poor diets, lack of exercise.
The SE is smaller than the X. And it has more features, like TouchID and a headphone jack.Wouldn't the SE just be better as a re-release of the iPhone X with a cheaper rear material?
Exactly. Most folks who talk about the appeal of the SE seem to focus on only 1 of its qualities. But it has been popular for all the reasons. For some, it is only 1 reasons (and that 1 reason differs). For others, 2 or more.The point of the SE is that it’s cheap but also small. The X isn’t small.
I don't have time to go through all the comments here, so apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I don't believe Apple will be returning to Touch ID anytime soon, because they just invented Face ID which is more secure. I'm more leaning toward a punchhole for Face ID if they can make the technology smaller for 2020 and are aiming for a whole display body.
The 2019 lineup seems underwhelming and not worth upgrading from my iPhone X. 2020 is where it's at.
Clear to who? And analysts said the 2018 iPhones were going to lose 3D Touch. They were wrong. Now they’re going to keep their prediction but change the year?
The individual cases I’ve read of people under 30 with colon cancer features a disproportionate number of women and they are slender and active and supposedly health conscious, so it has to be something else, I guess. I do hope someone is doing the research on it.It's more likely due to poor diets, lack of exercise.
I already have the Xs Max and prefer the Face ID over Touch ID but people can always get your phone and face it in front of your face to unlock it. What you gonna do, sit there with your eyes closed so it doesn't unlock? Where as with using your finger, you can fight back more lmaoI observed that the vast majority of people I know have come to prefer the seamless experience of Fave ID once they used it for a few days.
I also observed that most of the naysayers and people that freely criticise Fave ID do not have an iPhone X, XS or XR, just exposing their preconceived notions of “what works best”. Face ID is the future, and Apple is fully invested in it. You should try it too, it’s a game-changer.

This!
Yup, looking like I’m in the same boat as you. Either an xs max or just move off iPhone all together. Since eventually I’ll just have to get used to not having 3D Touch anymore when the xs models get too old in a few years tooLack of 3D Touch is a deal breaker for me as I use it ALL the time EVERY DAY. That would completely change my user experience, which is a terrible idea. Even if the majority of their users don’t use it (because they don’t really know how to or are unaware that it’s there). Haptic Touch is trash compared to 3D Touch. Guess I’ll be getting a XS for the next couple years after all... smdh
Yup, pretty much confirmed intel as they settled with Qualcomm too late to bring their modems into the 2019 modelsLike I said the lack of 3D Touch will be the reason why the next iPhone will have a larger battery. The major question is,
Still Intel Modem?
If you might come to a situation where this is not desirable, just click on the side button 5 times. Give it a try.I already have the Xs Max and prefer the Face ID over Touch ID but people can always get your phone and face it in front of your face to unlock it. What you gonna do, sit there with your eyes closed so it doesn't unlock? Where as with using your finger, you can fight back more lmao
People like you act as if every customer upgrades annuallyI can’t wait to see how the Apple team try and spin such an underwhelming release at the keynote.
RIP 3D Touch :'(
The notch is hardly a reason to not buy an iPhone.You said it yourself. It looks cool. Compared to a full, uninterrupted screen the notch looks like old hat. Keeping the notch will give consumers a reason not to buy an iPhone if full screen alternatives exist. So yes, that’s a problem.
This is the key, right here. The whole point behind Touch ID originally was to make authentication seamless, thus making it practical for anyone to have a strong passcode on their phone because they could seamlessly unlock their device as though there's no passcode present at all.The big difference is to get Face ID to work I have to think about how I am holding the iPhone and my facial expression. Touch ID I don't think about being in the "sweet spot" for it to work.
