I watched EverythingApplePro's latest video last night and at the end he says that there's a rumor that there is a new feature on the new iPhones that's been completely missed by the media and tech bloggers.

What do you think that could be? I hope that its ProMotion... that would be amazing.

Any ideas on what it might be, if there's anything at all?
 
lol wow seems like you all hate that guy. I was just trying to get a discussion going on what might be announced that we haven't really been talking about.

Nah, at least in my case, I just thought it was funny. :)
[doublepost=1536681642][/doublepost]ProMotion and a small pencil, like the Note 8, would be appealing to me. I'd also like to see much faster FaceID that works from wider angles (but that's an improvement, not a new feature). Split screen multitasking on the Plus would be nice, too.
 
The whole "killer feature w/ each iPhone" thing ended ages ago. I learnt that w/ the 6S. In the past, I never owned iPhones at launch. The 6S+ was my first one I got at release.

3D Touch was rumored for a bit, but it was not killer. The Taptic Engine isn't something I will clamor for in all my future devices. FaceID is awesome, but not killer since an Iris Scanner works just as well as I would need on other devices.
 
The killer new feature is probably the new gold color, or the price $1500 for the 64GB model and $2000 for the 256GB + Tax. :p

So it’s a rumor about something that may or my not exist but hopping that it does exist even though no one knows what it should be??

Makes sense.

I'm with you on Face ID.. If it can work at all angles, I'm sold. I'm really really hoping for ProMotion though, it's amazing.

I think you've confused yourself.

I'd be surprised if it were included.

Would've thought we had a leak pointing to a possible inclusion, but we've had zilch.

For such a big feature i definitely do agree that we probably would have heard something, even an off the wall rumor, but there's been absolutely nothing. I don't remember the rumor vs reality from last year but from what i recall everything was pretty much leaked before the actual keynote. I don't even remember the last time Apple has completely surprised us.
 
Everythingapplepro seems to get his information from listening to all the other YouTube tech personalities, follows all Twitter feeds from analyst’s and developers, reads all the the tech forum rumors and articles the are readily available to anyone who cares to research and spend the time to read and then he makes videos with all the obscure rumors.. Oh and he smashes tons of Apple and Samsung devices to show that glass phones break when dropped on concrete without a case. It works very well for him because he makes a lot of cash using this as a business strategy..

Anyone can do what he does, he was just one of the first and was able to build a platform, which is making him a bunch of money; can't hate on the guy for that. Anyways the thread is not about him, more so if there's anything that hasn't been rumored that people think might be included.
 
Exactly, I was just pointing out the questionable credibility of your source. I’ll play though, how about a triple lense rear camera for the XS+ to give it a feature that the XS doesn’t have so people who want the best camera will have to buy the larger more expensive phone
 
EverythingApplePro doesn’t know everything nor is he a pro.

Clickbait extraordinaire.

Very true. When he first started, he had a decent following because he was more in depth with Apple products, but now it’s all about luring the user to believe one thing about his videos, when its entirely about something else. He is by far not a source for Apple, he usually just duplicates information from other leakers/insiders.

His video are just pure clickbait now. He makes a video pretty much covering every “leak” (read, faked image from Twitter) and sure enough, at least some of them will come true.

The best videos are those 10-minute videos on every X.Y.Z.1 iOS update.
