Face ID is great. Works quickly 99% of the time.
The phones are getting ridiculous expensive. I still want one. But next year.
Still the same fugly distracting notch. If they must notch why can't they do a nicer v-neck notch like this.

Well, yeah. There's rarely a reason to upgrade year-to-year. Wait 2-3 years for the best bang for your buck.
Hmmm, to imagine this as they say "uncompromised this"/"uncompromised that" over and over...
Nice corner-cutting, guess 3D Touch is too old technology now, so it has to go. Just like the headphone port.

And with an iOS app called Focos you've been able to as well.
Why would they, they could sell a baked salmon inside a steel enclosure as perfume.
Either there are less sensors or there's a huge ugly bar on the bottom there where all the sensors are instead of in the top. The V-neck looks dumb.
so instead of a notch we can have a nipple? no thanksStill the same fugly distracting notch. If they must notch why can't they do a nicer v-neck notch like this.
How so? It seems to me exactly the opposite is true. Which specific classes of customers do you believe are being milked?
The A12 is a whole system on a chip, so it’s more than just the CPU - it is also the GPU and the neural processor. While the CPU is only about 20% faster than then A11, the GPU and neural processor are significantly better. It is also more power efficient, which is great for battery life. The A12 also powers the enhanced camera features.s
With that being said, for everyday general usage, you probably won’t see a huge difference (such as web browsing), but the chip will allow better and more realistic AR features as well as a better Siri experience, as more and faster machine learning can occur directly on the iPhone. In addition, as developers update their apps or create new apps, the benefits of the A12 will be felt more.
I can’t wait until they can make these bad boys thinner and lighter. 208 grams for a phone is pretty hefty, but with a screen like that it may be worth it for the Max.
Hold that thought as we remember the death of the trusty old ghetto blaster, for you will be forever remembered, even from across the street 3 blocks away. *cough*

You can actually do this right now using apps like Focos on any iPhone with a dual camera. You can even change the focal point and change the bokeh. So this is definitely not something Apple invented, as they implied. The Lytro field camera was released in 2012. Steve Jobs supposedly met with the founder of Lytro back then to discuss how the technology might be used to improve the iPhone camera system. Lytro went under earlier this year, but of course the technology they pioneered is becoming more popular.
An extra 30 minutes isn’t anything to write home about, though. I was expecting more from a 7nm chip.
