Everybody touting how beautiful the spinach green is, if it was on an Android it'd be UGLY!
exactly i actually think my current mate 20 pro that im using now looks better, even the triple camera that apple copied doesn't look as good my mate 20 pro cameras. the apple's camera has ugly humps.
 
No 5G?

Why would anyone drop 1000 notes on a phone which will effectively be obsolete within a year? If it isn't already?
5G is overrated on a phone. You don't need that speed on a phone. The signal doesn't travel far. Verizon can't even cover one NFL football stadium. And you won't have widespread coverage for years yet. It's all hype.
 
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.

Man, this was kind of a bummer. I upgraded from my iPhone 7 Plus to an iPhone X and I regretted it after a bit as I prefer the Touch ID to the Face ID.

Just this weekend I was telling my wife I was considering downgrading to an iPhone 8 Plus and keeping my iPhone X as it would have a higher trade-in value.

I was hoping this would be a bigger improvement to the more recent models, but it's not much. I guess I'll just go with the 8 Plus downgrade for a while.
 
The insignificant updates every year are really becoming quite stale, aren't they? Wished they'd take more time between new iPhones to really give us substantial new features. A camera that's just a little better, a CPU and GPU that are just a little faster and just a little more efficient, a screen that looks just a little better, speakers that sound just a little better... it's just too little to really get excited anymore.

iPhone X. Almost 2 years old. 87% battery health. No need to upgrade this year. 3 years on one iPhone. Will be the longest period without an upgrade. This after going 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus and X. Nothing drawing me in. Half tempted to get the 11 for the 6.1. Don’t want to give up resolution and OLED.

Why do you need it? I watched about 80% of this keynote steaming to my XR whilst walking the dog, ALL over 3G with the signal at 1 or 2 bars!!
What is 5G going to do for your phone? Apart from possibly cause you harm.
 
Yup... glad I got a new xs max for half price now that I see this lol

Marginal processor bump, extra camera, no 3D Touch. I knew I made the right decision
 
I think I'll have more fun going to the gentlemans club with my 1000 bucks

But maybe next year Apple, maybe next year
 



Apple today revealed the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, its two top-of-the-line iPhone models for 2019. These new iPhones feature Super Retina XDR displays, A13 Bionic chips, and a new triple-camera system with Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto camera options.

The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max come in a new Midnight Green color option, as well as Space Grey, Silver, and Gold. The iPhone 11 Pro (5.8 inches) and Pro Max (6.5 inches) include all of the same features, but differ in their sizes and battery life.
These models have a textured matte glass back and a polished stainless steel band, and were designed to be durable. This means that they have the toughest glass ever in a smartphone, according to Apple, and are rated IP68 for water resistance of up to 4 meters for up to 30 minutes.

The Super Retina XDR display is a custom-designed OLED with HDR and up to 1,200 nits brightness and True Tone. The display is also more power efficient and allows users to interact with their favorite apps more quickly with Haptic Touch, which is integrated across iOS 13.

Apple's A13 Bionic chip is described as the fastest chip ever in a smartphone, featuring up to 20 percent faster CPU and GPU than the A12. The iPhone 11 Pro offers up to four more hours of battery life in a day than the iPhone Xs, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max offers up to five hours more than the iPhone Xs Max.

Of course, the camera has also been upgraded and now features a rear triple-camera system that lets users take Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto images. Apple lets users easily zoom between each of the three cameras to find the best shot, and there are new professional editing tools right within the camera app.
A new Night Mode offers a way to brighten up pictures taken in the dark, and all of the updates come within a redesigned Camera app UI that Apple said provides a more immersive experience with an all-screen display. Later this fall, Apple will release a "Deep Fusion" update that uses advanced machine learning to do a pixel-by-pixel processing of photos to optimize for texture, details, and noise in every part of the photo.


Below is a list with a few other new features found on the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max:
The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will be available for pre-order in 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB models beginning this Friday, September 13 at 5 a.m. PDT. iPhone 11 Pro will start at $999 and the Pro Max will start at $1,099. After pre-orders, the devices will launch one week later on September 20.

Is this the first time the high-end model iPhone hasn't matched the top storage capacity of the iPad from the previous year?

Wish I could muster more excitement about the 11 Pro Max, but aside from the camera, everything ambitious is coming from iOS 13. Looks like I may be holding on to my 7 Plus for another year, barring battery failure. It's difficult justifying spending more than the cost of my first used car for a few photographic bells and whistles.
