The iPhone x is barely a year and a half old.
Pretty funny as it's clear Apple copied Huawei's Mate 20 camera design.
What I like to do is get the latest iPhone year to year. Not head over heels about the design as it’s similar to my XS Max with a bigger camera lens, however the resale value stays at an all time high. Last years Note 9 is barely at $700. My XS Max is still averaging between $1000-$1100. Big difference!
All this talk about 5G is utter pointless, I can't even get a proper 4G connection most of the times. On Three network btw
The same could have been said about the 30 pin connector. Apple still moved on to lighting.
I was hoping we’d see a move to the design language of the newest iPad Pros (i.e. a return to squared off edges a la iPhone 4/5/SE models). This looks like it’ll be the ugliest iPhone yet, which is a shame if so.
Apple sold a cumulative 300 million iPhones by 2012 when Lightning was introduced. Apple is now approaching 3 billion iPhones.
The advantage of USB-C vs. Lightning is nowhere as big as Lightning vs. 30-pin.
The pink elephant in the room is still the dreadful notch yet they're more concerned with adding another camera lens
I wish the new iPhone would copy the design of the new iPad pros. Also having three lenses is ridiculous. Google does amazing things with just one.
For 2019 I absolutely agree. However, late 2020, into 2021 is a different story. Just left Three for EE, due to poor 4G coverage.
The only purpose of squared edges is to magnetically attach the Pencil. Squared edges make no sense on iPhone. Jony Ive has said rounded edges make iPhone feel slimmer.
LOL, they’ll delete the lightning port entirely and go “watch style” before they go USB-C... hasn’t happened by now, it won’t
What’s the point of making the phone slimmer if it is going to have that ugly camera bump.
As much as I prefer the functionality of Android, I really am becoming increasingly more bothered by the tracking that Google does and would like to switch back to a platform that doesn't track me (as much). But I'm sorry, the value proposition just isn't there at $999 for a phone that has a ginormous notch, going on a three year old design, with an ugly camera array like that. You look at the competition and then back at the iPhone and you can't help but feel that you're getting ripped.
The phone that I truly am wanting is the successor to the iPhone SE. That'd be a for-sure purchase. But who knows if that'll ever happen.

I’m inclined to agree, at least with regard iPhone. The iPP flat-sided design has been met with nothing but praise, and yet they do not adopt a similar design because... Such a phone would fly off the shelves.

Spider-Eye Design! New for 2020!Here's my design:
That is sooooo ugly.
The ugly growth on the back and the hideous notch returning? This thing is turning out to be a real eye sore of a phone.

Partially, such as not including a fast-charger in the iPhone box, but I think it’s actually laziness, which would explain a LOT of their other decisions. If it were fully money-motivated, they’d switch to USB-C to sell more new cables & adapters.
Buy new accessories, or a $30 adapter if you refuse to update.
USB-C should be standard across all Apple products.
Even with the computing power of an iMac Pro and a camera performance better than the most expensive DSLR I would not buy this iPhone because it's sooooooo damned ugly! I would feel ashamed if this ugly thing would lie on the table in front of me. People would stare at me and ask themselves: How could he buy such an ugly smart phone? He seems to have no sense for good style at all. This thing would have never come across the table of Steve. Never!
Apples downturn in iPhone sales will accelerate even more. The best thing to do is to buy one of the tuned iPhone 8 and hope for a better future ...
I agree USB-C should be standard. But given the iPhone doesn't benefit much from USB-C and the licensing revenue makes it unlike Apple will switch.
It must be difficult going through life being so concerned about what others might think about you based on your possessions.
