Available Supply of iPhone 11 Pro Models Begins Waning

The camera was the selling point for me. I used to be really into photography and I miss it, but I just can't justify a DSLR and lenses for as little as I get to go shoot. With phones, I have my phone on me all the time and take pictures pretty often. When a big camera enhancement comes along I jump all over it.

Significant upgrades are coming 2020.

But you had to enter in credit card info right? I’m talking about just not entering any card info and reserving for in-store pickup.

It’s a little different than preordering.

Nope. No money. Not card details entered. You had to choose the reserve option before even entering any detail at all.

Thats why you never know what people want. EVERYONE its the same phone it will have no demand blah blah blah, the average consumer doesn't watch Youtube reviewers rate phones nor do they know what may or may not be coming in 2020. They seen this phone and said I want it and ordered it. Sorry just bothers me when we as individuals try and speak for the masses.

It's hard be accurate without knowing the initial level of supply available for launch day. Don't forget Apple was rushing devices in, in anticipation of the impending Tariffs on the product Oct 1st. I believe those were just announced as not happening? We never will truly know as long as Apple continues to withhold specific model numbers. It's good that people have choice, but 11 will once again outsell the Pro Models by vast margins this cycle. :apple:
 
Ordered a green 256 max trough my carrier. Apparently they will send out detailed delivery dates tomorrow.

I ordered within minutes (11 max midnight green 256) and it already said sept 27th-oct 1st. I know in the years past those of us that were right on the cusp still got updated launch-day ship times later.

I got the same thing, but not the max. 256g green 11 pro. Got on within seconds and luckily was able to score for launch day.

For your Safari tabs to "reload constantly" with even a pitiful 1 GB of RAM you would need to have 50 tabs open. On a new iPhone 11 Pro that's probably closer to 200 tabs. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate whether you really need 200 tabs.

I have five tabs. Even with 4GB they reload an awful lot. It depends on what is in the tabs - duolingo takes a ton of RAM for some reason, and of course various other web apps are notorious RAM hogs.

But thanks for sharing your baseless assumptions and unwanted advice about my web browsing habits.
 
For some reason I get all amped up and nervous right before pre orders go live. Can’t type right, fingers shake, etc. I look at it like a BIG competition to get a launch day device. I’ve camped out a few times back in the day (which was awesome-miss those days). I’ve stood in line, and I’ve gotten up at 3am multiple times. Luckily I’ve gotten every iPhone on launch except for the 3GS that I wasn’t too thrilled about and waited a week. But I love the excitement and stress of preordering. I picture thousands of other people all over the world staring at their screens hitting the refresh button over and over like their all at the starting line of a massive race. And then the gun goes off and it’s on. Wow, I just re-read this post and man, I am a real nerd. But hey, it’s fun.

Every year, the naysayers say that Apple is losing their edge. Can't compete. Can't make a worthwhile product.

Not "innovative" they say. "Not what Jobs would do," they say.

Every year...they are wrong.

Well, I wouldn't say that those people are wrong...

It's just that, miraculously, Apple can get away with doing so much less than everyone else while selling as many if not more phones than everyone else. So, they don't.
 
Pre-Pre ordered a Midnight Green 11 Pro for my wife, and a Space Gray 11 Pro Max with the Apple Upgrade Program last night (I've been buying outright, but decided to do this for a change). Opened the Apple Store app at 5. Got in about a minute and a half later. The Pre-Pre order popped up all ready to go. Confirmed, making it now a Pre-order by 5:02 AM for delivery on the 20th.

Smoothest iPhone purchase ever, unless you consider my purchase two years ago through Verizon, when they "accidentally" started selling them 15 minutes early. I got ours ten minutes before 3 AM and enjoyed watching all the pissed people on Twitter who couldn't get through to Apple's site for an hour or more.
 
History repeating. People with money spending it on something colored Paris Green. Just leave your phone behind when you go to the country for the winter.

Do my ears and eyes deceive me? “cmaier” is inadvertent admiring that iOS with its active memory management cannot do with 4GB of RAM. Next “cmaier” will say like some hardware competitors iOS devices need 10-12GB of RAM.

I thank you for contributing to my profits. ;)
 
Cases are slipping too. I made the mistake of not ordering when I ordered the phone. Hopefully there will be store inventory.

I looked them up: iOS market share in Europe was around 25% in 2017, it is around 24% now. Hardly a plummeting market share ;) Sure, it cannot compete with Android, but nor does it need or intend to. Apple is a single manufacturer competing in the middle to high-end segment, whereas Android phones are sold by a dozen or so manufacturers in all price segments.
Click to expand...

Do even mathematics bro? When we compare data, we don’t look at past couple of days (relatively speaking, I never go to the toilet....)

Market share was 52% in 2010, dropped to 25% today. They lost half of their costumers in Europe in less than 10 years. That’s a lot!

Reason: increased price after every iteration without more innovation when compared to waaaaay cheaper competitors. Don’t get me wrong, iPhones are fantastic phones, but they simply don’t offer more than others.
 
Damn, I'm surprised to see the gold 11 Pro Max is still available to ship for delivery on 9/20. I thought that would be more popular than Midnight Green!

They do much less than everyone else? Yet their phones are at least as good as everyone else?
