Bloomberg: 2019 iPhones Can Charge AirPods, Cameras Will Have Increased Zoom and Auto-Correction Feature

now i see it said:
Pfft to another camera upgrade. Why not deal with the neon green elephant in the room: aka poor connectivity with marginal cellular signals

Its an i"PHONE"

Not an iCamera by the way

And many people, including myself, purchase a new phone (partially) based on camera features/performance.

I've had no issues with connectivity - my anecdote.
 
I'm all for improving the camera, but this has got to be the most hideous way to do it. There would have been nothing wrong with copying Samsung's better looking and symmetrical camera layout. I wouldn't be surprised if even the Chinese passed on knocking off this design. Lol. The iPhone just doesn't come across as premium anymore. That massive notch looks so budget. Seriously the S10 line looks so high end, and it has the high end performance to match. My decision to switch to Samsung as a trial session with a used Galaxy S7 Edge has been nothing but eye opening. The phone is stellar. Now I want Samsung's best, Galaxy Note 10 for me. Can-Not-Wait.

The whole ‘number of lenses’ thing reminds me of razor blades. I didn’t need 6 blade razor and probably don’t need a 3 lens camera.

You're so unwoke.... Everyone knows that a man's [person's] worth is determined by the number of lenses that that man [person] has.

obviously i was exaggerating, but only because EACH new model has to be a huge upgrade to the previous. even some s upgrades had some groundbreaking additions(think of the 4s). for now this "new" phone seems very sad.

So you haven’t seen it (or the new version of iOS) but you already know it’s sad?
 
alexandr said:
yes, it's a huge step forward for those still using the 4s. so happy for them.

Do you upgrade you car, dishwasher, fridge, toaster every damn year? NO. Smarphones are a mature utilitarian product now. Like cars and stoves and every other utility the upgrades year over year are going to get less and less.

Not sure how this is shocking news anymore to justify the constant whining from those who expect a groundbreaking new product every damn year. GET OVER IT.

P.S. For those of you who want massive change every year, Samsung has a Galaxy fold to sell you and then cancel your order.
 
Now that I think of it...finally I see where the inspiration of lens placement came from: triple turret camera.

i said "for now", meaning with the info we have so far. and i didn't say a word about the os, that's the only thing that still keeps me with apple.
 
What we really need is another article about the rainbow stage and Carnegie Library!

Redundant information, let's just assume Tim's Apple produces no new designs unless otherwise stated.

i know it's all subjective, but the cameras i'm ok with. i would much rather they focused on battery life without making the phone thicker. charging other devices using iphones can be a disaster. the notch is still there, the phone is getting thicker. this is lame. and why are still comparing it to the 8?..

Reverse charging is a gimmick. It’s only rated a measly 2.5 watts. Sure it’s good for wearables. But for use to charge other devices is silly.

Yes, you should do that. But wait a few months after release and you can save a few hundred dollars.

The depreciation on non Apple devices is horrendous.

as long as apple keeps announcing them as revolutionary and groundbreaking, what exactly do you need me to get over?..
 
Maybe Apple should work on their own dedicated camera and leave the phone alone. They already take great photos but why put so much energy into upgrading them to this extent? This is the first time I've ever looked at a new iPhone and actually hated the way it looks.
 
Looks like a nice upgrade for my iPhone X, although I might wait until next year to pick up a used one. My iPhone X is pretty great and it’s paid for.
 
I don’t know anyone that is asking for ‘more zoom’.

Low light photos, long exposure functions, reducing shake and bettering focus in videos. Way way better color reproduction. This is what I see and hear folks asking for.
 
I won't judge super harshly until we see the official photos, but who thought it'd be a good idea to put the cameras in a square in a haphazard order, rather than just extending the current camera cutout length?

Maybe there was some internal design constraints or something, but wow, is that new cutout ugly.

I’m sticking with my 6s until the notch is eliminated.

You could always pick up an iPhone 8, the A11 is a huge upgrade over the A9 in your iPhone 6S. Also you’d get a TrueTone display, wireless charging, better battery life, a better camera with OIS, 4K 60fps video, and water resistance.
