What about video? I'm still waiting for portrait mode 4K video at 30fps. That would be an industry first and a killer reason for a 3rd lens.
Got a tip for us?

You can say “it was about” but i responded to the words actually written, not the words you wish were written. And the point was, at the time that apple introduced lightning, it was by far the best solution on the market. It’s still better than usb-c as a connector, in fact (from a mechanical standpoint). As for switching to it now, the only comments I’ve made on the subject was pointing out poster after poster who registered with the forums in the last two or three days, and have only posted: 1) samsung is great, 2) usb-c whine whine whine, 3) headphone jack!, 4) notch yucky! Me hate!
That's not an iPhone issue, that's a MacBook issue. You have wireless connectivity, adapters and cables for that issue.
Me not buying an iPhone because of how the “square camera patch” looks is like me not buying sneakers because I don’t like the bottom of the shoe. To each their own, but to me that’s an odd reason not to buy something.
I love Touch ID! There are times I miss it. There are positives and negatives to both technologies, but again... For people to not even give it a chance and just bash it and call it inferior is just strange.
My problem is that people make all these judgments without giving things a chance. Some people judging Face ID have never even used it! And everyone judging this new iPhone hasn’t seen the finished product.
It’s a lot of pent up anger against Apple and irrational fear. Apple wasn’t perfect under Steve Jobs and they aren’t perfect now. It is what it is.
haha ikrThank you Apple. Another year I’m not tempted to buy an iPhone.
*pats iPhone X*
I want to believe what you say but I think it's also a lot about Apple's legacy mobile customer base and their revenue. They cannot afford to take any real engineering and design chances because they have so many customers that simply rely on a predictably functional camera and normal battery life. If Apple was way behind in marketshare and sales, you can guarantee that they would bring something truly innovative to the table that no others had thought of or were willing to try. Right now, Apple is the Microsoft from 20 years ago, big, bloated, slow and beholden to their legacy mobile customer base ahead of all their other customers and innovations.
Good for me, I stopped upgrading every year like a sheep and the first time I felt ripped off was from the 6s plus to iPhone 7 Plus. I’m going to stick with iPhone X and it will still look like the latest iPhone until a redesign. P.s. I hate the notch that much that I’m using a tweak to remove it so basically I’ve got an upgrade.
Guess it’s hard to measure, and probably quite individual, but to me Face ID gives a lot better flow when I use the phone. Since most of the time I need to use it, Im are already looking at the screen.
Opening apps that require verification becomes faster and flawless when using FaceID since most of the time when you open an app you are looking at your screen.
It just happens, no action needed.
It just works.
Animoji is a big nuisance.
Please. Apple has almost a billion iPhone users. A few thousand complaints (if your post is correct) is nothing.
I just don’t understand how people can make the argument that because they’ve seen hundreds or thousands complaints online that there’s a widespread issue.
The vocal minority doesn’t represent the silent majority.
The layout of the 3 cameras looks extremely ugly to me. I hate how apple does not center the camera, and it looks like it will only be getting worse. The appearance of back of the phone isn't super important to me, but when I set the phone down on a table and it wobbles constantly, that does get annoying. I would happily take a slightly thicker phone with a larger batter, and NO camera bump!
- It’s more secure.
- It opens Apps that need verification as soon as the App is launched without having to perform a separate TouchID action.
- Same as above but also for logging into websites in Safari using stored passwords.
- Works with gloves, dirty or wet fingers.
FaceID isn’t better than TouchID for every possible scenario. But it’s better overall.
Can I ask what does USB C actually give you over lightning that you really must have?
This "more secure" argument is really funny. Oh yes, everyday dozens of strangers come along and unlock my iPhone 8 with their fingers because it only has Touch ID - lol. I sometimes ask myself, how much effort the marketing department of Apple has spent to get this irrelevant message in the heads of their customers. Maybe they should have invested this effort better in a more appealing design of the next iPhone generation.
Sooo very ugly and no 3D Touch. I’ll keep my Xs Max.
SlashLeaks posts an image that is alleged to be iPhone XI and XI Max molds for 3rd party case production.
These physical molds are presumably produced by case manufacturers based on leaked schematics to test early cases for the upcoming 2019 iPhones.
The front design is also shown on a Weibo post which may have been the original source for the images:
The square grouping of the triple-camera is consistent with other rumors and images that have leaked from the supply chain regarding Apple's upcoming iPhones.

In practice it actually has been more secure, albeit in a different manner than realtuner may have meant. Look at the issue with users being tricked into high-priced subscriptions when they attempt to use the home-button to get out of a confirmation screen and instead touch-Id-confirm the subscription.
Personally, I prefer Face ID because:
1) it keeps retrying on its own if it can’t read my face at first
2) over time it’s gotten remarkably good at getting it the first time
3) it’s faster than Touch ID, in practice, at least for me. By the time I swipe up for the home screen it’s recognized me. Even more so for things like filling in passwords or in-app security. No need to reposition my thumb, it just knows I’m me.
4) it works even when i am wearing gloves, which is a lot of the time
You do realize that these are molds for case makers to design around the new camera models, so these are most likely legit?

April 1, April 20, what’s the difference?
Those molds look like they could have been made by my nephew, who is ten.
Unless you have a MacBook it’s not really a must have if you have lightening for your other products.
SO SHALLOW... THE LENSES NOW HAVE HEATING ELEMENTS IN THEM... ITS THE NEW CAMERA STOVE, FOR COOKING BREAKFAST WHEN UR CAMPING....
You asked for “just one advantage” in a snarky manner as if there isn’t even one and I gave you four. Yet you only criticized one. So I take it you agree the other three are clear advantages over TouchID?
As to security, when TouchID was tricked the Internet was flooded with people saying it’s not secure. My point is legitimate considering people claim you can fool TouchID with some tape, crazy glue and silly putty.
Nobody has hacked FaceID yet, despite many sophisticated attempts.
