Curious as I am on upgrade program. Last year we could pre qualify so we got the credit approval and carrier approvals done during business day avoiding the problems with those at 2 AM central for me. So far when I follow my upgrade status which says I qualify, they do not offer me a path to prequalify, its just ghosted making me think I will have to be up at 7 AM the new central order time. Wonder if a prequalify will show up like last time next day or two. Sure would be nice LOL
 
That midnight green looks really nice. I love the 'black' on my XS Max, but am feeling a bit 'eh' about the 'space grey' on the 11 Pro Max. I had white on the X, which I thought was classy looking, but feel like it's too much on a the larger Max form factor.

My 3G and 3GS were white. So, too, was my X. All the rest (and I've upgraded every year since the original) have been whatever black/grey was available.

This might be first non-monochromatic iPhone. :eek:

Why this absurd fascination with .01% camera improvements. This is the first time I've commented on a release and I usually buy the new phones, but not this time. They dun run out of ideas I reckon!

I mean what more do you want in a phone at this point? Pretty much all phones are more than serviceable in this day and age. It's a matter of preference now.

  • Hate the notch? Find another phone
  • Want true edge to edge display? Find another phone
  • Don't like the naming schemes? Find another company

I actually was kinda in suspense when I heard deep fusion.

I was like "okay, here we go somethings phenomenal is about to come out"

then after hearing Phil I was like "oh...so it takes better pics...ok?"

1429 euros or the 256GB 11 pro... hughhhhhhh! I'm changing my mind, I won't buy this year. Hope a lot of people do the same because it's time for a change. that's 200 or 400 euros more than what it should be. way too expensive.
not sold on that shiny marketing wow camera thing and those stupid video commercials. apple now wants you to be so passive with what they announce and their dumb gaming plateform and their tv service. sorry, but i'll stay creative just as they once used to be. this year i'm spending my money on something else. The keynotes are just out of date now. no passion and no dream at all. i'll pass.
 
An utter joke of a phone update with an even bigger joke of a name, and an absolutely and utterly insulting huge smack in your face PRICE INCREASE in the UK!
It now starts from £1049...

Utterly disgusting..

Apple are probably betting that the GBP will fall after Brexit and adjusting the price accordingly.
 
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.

I'm in the exact same boat. The X was a stunning jump. I skipped XS, my first skip in years. I had every intention of getting the small Pro. After comparing the specs on Apple's website I'm not so sure anymore.

Also, Dolby Atmos on a Phone??!? Don't get me started. lol
 
FWIW, it’s an upgrade that adds features which some like and others don’t. I love the 4 extra hours and thus would upgrade right away. Ultimately, $1k is a lot of money for some, very little for some, and around the middle mark for others. If you can afford it, get it. If not, don’t :)
 
I was waiting to see what was presented before making up my mind. I like the new phones but my iPhone X is fine aside from a small crack in the bottom of the screen. Think I'm gonna take it to Apple, have the screen replaced, and while they are doing that have the battery replaced, and use it another year.
 
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.

Don't you think the "bump" is there for a reason? They could flatten the cameras, but they'd they be giving up very important physics-driven reasons for the depth of the camera stack. Instead, they work with light physics to achieve the best results, and if that requires a slight bump, so be it.

And the increase in lenses is just a progression of technology as a whole, not to copy what the competition is doing. If each lens was the same, then maybe, but each lens is specialized in its job. The hardware and software has evolved to the point where it now makes sense to support multiple lens. It's more coincidence than copying. But believe what you might.

Frameless screen? Don't you realize that the bezel actually serves a purpose? Who wants their fingers covering the screen? You're fishing for reasons to make iPhones look bad, when they are actually more practical in everyday use.

Face ID is stellar. Apple could embed Touch ID into the screen, but clearly the technology is not ready yet. Unless you want them to copy the competition now? See the contradiction here?

Overall, the latest iPhone continues to keep the bar high that leads the industry. You can't argue that. I'm thinking you want them to be different for the sake of being different, but that's not a consumer-first focus. That's a tech-first focus.

Apple has delivered a great device, again. No arguments.

UK and France same battle. way overpriced! that's a no go for me!
 
Man I am once again underwhelmed but I’ll be all hyped up again next year for the iPhone 12 only for to reveal basically the same notch and design as the last 3 years yawn
 
With the pricing of the «pro» (hahaha) IPhone it is no wonder that Apple whining about reduced phone sales...
will the next iPhone have the buzzword «Gamer» in to justify the price?
 
Please? Are there really professional phone users?

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.
 
Bilateral charging, 128 GB base storage. Did you read the thread? It was implied you did since you read the 'hate'. So not sure why you're asking when the answer has been repeated throughout the thread.

I have a 64GB XR and I'm not even using half the storage. So not everyone needs to have such a massive amount of storage.
