Worst group of presenters Apple has even had. Kind of shocking for their biggest yearly event they put up a bunch of Amateurs.

Anyone else notice how they try to cover up the ugly hideous back of the 11 pro by fanning out all the colors and not showing the whole back of the phone in the main picture? Yeah, me too.

And 64gb? Really? Its almost as insulting as Apple putting 128gb in the Macbook Pros. People need to vote with their wallets and send Apple a message, otherwise they will continue doing it.
 
Bumps over bumps over bumps....over bumps. Copycats. When Huawei present 4 lens camera Apple will follow. This is not "think different" company anymore but "followers" company (few years ago). No frameless screens. No design change. No notch. No fingerprint sensor integrated in screen. How do they want to compete with OnePlus while chinese maker has better engineers and designers? How? iOS is not an argument anymore.

So you don't want them to think different, you want them to think like everyone else. They don't include 4 cameras for the shake or doing it, like everyone else does. Or make a frameless screen if it needs a strange mechanism, like everyone else does. And they don't change their design every year, because if you think your phone needs a redesign every 12 months, maybe the problem is the design itself.
 
Looks like a great upgrade. This is not my upgrade year but a better camera is always tempting since that is such a big use for us.
 
This is the ugliest iPhone I’ve ever seen. How many cameras does a phone need? If you need a powerful camera, buy a camera. This is getting ridiculous. Next iPhone will have all cameras on the back. Maybe they can put one on each corner so at least the phone won’t wobble when it’s on a table.

my iPhone 6s will be the last iPhone I buy unless I get a used 7 or 8. I don’t like the direction Apple is heading and I’ve already sold my MacBook Pro and Apple TV 4K. It’s a nice feeling finally being free’d from the Apple ecosystem.

Extra small lens, classy elegant matte finish, timeless cosmic grey colour which is grey (not black), thin, light, handy. This is iPhone 6S.
 
Don’t see any reason to upgrade xs max. The 11 was disappointing as rumored. Besides it’s the iPhone 12 you really want. Qualcomm. 5g. Touch ID again. Lose the notch. Promotion.

I’ll grab a watch. And forget phone.
 
Those who are saying they are disappointed, what are you exactly expecting to change at this point? If your a fan of Apple then you know how they cycle the refresh and updates to the iPhone. At this point either your absolutely vested in apples ecosystem, or you not.

As far as features go I believe the phone market has reached its peak for quite some time now. You can only improve on so much at this point. The fact we get anything is a plus.
 
I’ll upgrade but only because I’m on the Upgrade Programme so it’s a ‘free’ upgrade, in as far as it shouldn’t cost me anymore.

Love the green colour.

My only gripe is the 1pm start time in the U.K. What’s that about? Unless Upgrades start at 8am

There are, but they don't use smartphones. They're called callcenter employees and phone sales staff. Funny enough this aligns nicely with the idea Apple forgot that professionals want wired connectivity on their tools.

Putting the headphone jack back in the iPhone Pro would have been a game changer I feel like.
 
Well I'm interested in the iphone 11 128GB! It's reasonably priced in Europe at €850. No USB-C but good battery life and frankly iOS has gotten really good at keeping the speed up on older machinery. My ipad Air2 works fine, so does an iphone 6S. Compared to my ZTE Axon 7 which has been slow for the last 1.5 years, I think iOS is a better device to buy if you want your devices to last a long time (I'm talking 4+ years).
I'm excited to see what Google Pixel 4 will be like but the only thing that's impressed me on the android side is the 90-120hz displays & how good Pixels are at taking pics. But the iphone camera is also pretty natty!.
 
When the iPhone camera started protruding out, I didn't think much of it. When iPhone X came out with the bigger camera bump and the notch, I thought it looked weird, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. With this new camera setup, to say its hideous would be an understatement. Not only is this ugly phone a deal breaker this year, I will not buy an Apple phone with that ugly tumor of a camera on the back. I don't care the battery life is better, it's not worth the ridiculous looking camera module on the back. Even looking at the cases Apple is selling it sticks out like a sore thumb. I really hope Apple redesigns iPhone for 2020, because this looks terrible.

It’s not a free upgrade. Keep telling yourself that. You were going to upgrade to a new iPhone regardless of how poor the newer one is.

We have seriously lost sight of the origin of the word “pro”. It used to mean “professional”, but now it means “more features at a higher price point, but has nothing to do with anything professional”.

Please? Are there really professional phone users?

Most likely not....but there are "pro" Mac Pro users...and some no so pro Mac Pro users.
 
Boring keynote with fake jokes and fake excitement. I wish they’d not rehearse it next time and let people be themselves. It’s painful to watch it. Games presentations are the worst. Like who can be impressed by yet another boring game?

And there were no ‘one more thing’ — Apple tags. Probably because it was rumored to be and Tim felt that ‘one more thing’ will be too fake even for him. Or maybe again it was not ready, just like AirPower.

Although it could be the most interesting product if it was shown today.

iPhone 11 would be better called iPhone XT or X whatever. There’s nothing 11 about it. Same X design with upgraded internals. But if we count additional camera as an upgrade deserving increase in the number, then yes...

Sigh. I want that green pro, but nearly $1800 CAD for 256gb is just nothing I can get behind. I'll just get the 11 and hope I'm not missing out on *too* much. The 7 I currently have is showing its age, so any upgrade should feel pretty good to me.
