I got the midnight green iPhone 11 Pro and at first I loved it!

It's faster from the iPhone X, which is nice.

But now that it's been a few days I'm starting to have buyer's remorse.

It's just not all that different than my iPhone X

Feel Like there should have been more features

I upgraded from XS and glad I did. The 11 Pro overall experience is much improved over my previous XS. I wish people would stop saying Apple ripped them off. They did not. All the information was there for you to make an informed decision before purchase. your still within the 14 day return period. Take it back.

Right I get it I chose to get ripped off but still Apple should have given us more features for that money

that being said anyone coming from an iPhone seven or below this iPhone is major

honestly I didn’t expect It to be so great but then when I started using it I fell in love with how smooth everything was and fast. Hard too explain but when you use it, it felt like a real upgrade. But after a few days it feels stale.

Jesus Christ another one of these. You didn’t get ripped off. Apple clearly states what the phone is. They didn’t sell you something they said was more. It is in NO WAY APPLES FAULT that you didn’t take the time to learn about the phone before buying it. Quit making ridiculous accusations and return the phone if you don’t like it. It’s THAT simple.
🤦‍♂️

If you think you should have got more features, what features do you think you’re missing??

Why didn’t you research into other phones so you don’t feel ripped off?

if you feel ripped off, take it back- you said you watched the whole keynote- therefore you knew exactly what features the phone had, how much it cost and you made the decision to buy.

doesn’t really add up that you say you feel ripped off.

I for one went from a X to the 11 Pro Max and have absolutely loved it. Do I feel like its not a huge upgrade? No I feel like it is a big improvement over the X. I like it a lot.

I guess I can see where the average user might not tell a difference between the X or the XR, Max, 11 etc I guess....maybe? But the battery and screen are awesome not to mention the cameras.

I guess it comes down to the 11/Pro/Pro Max having the features you want. If not and you like your X then stick with that. You have to be happy with what you want. I think some get the new phone and think its going to be completely different. For me its just a worthy upgrade for me.

Yup, I agree 100%. I “upgraded” from my trusted and beloved iPhone X. Got the Pro Max. Feels exactly the same except the screen is bigger. Face ID is still same old s***. In fact, I hate it.

Overall, wasn’t worth it at all.

But the absolute worst thing about the new iPhones is iOS 13 that they are running. It’s the worst and the buggiest software I’ve ever used. It’s a complete disaster. I don’t know what they were thinking.

tvOS 13 has ruined my HomePod.

Catalina has wreaked havoc in my iCloud Drive. And I don’t see it being fixed in the final release either. After all, beta bugs were never fixed in the final iOS 13, not even 13.1.1. Why would Catalina be any different. What a dumpster fire.


All in all, 2019 has been the worst year for Apple’s software. I bet a lot of people would agree with this sentiment.

No buyers remorse here. Got the MG Pro Max I’m satisfied. I wasn’t expecting anything earth shattering. That will happen if and when it becomes notchless or Touch ID is on screen. Etc.
I’m on a yearly upgrade program so why not. I’m enjoying it just like I enjoyed my XS Max. I really like the new cameras the new color.

Being ripped off is getting a iPhone box with rocks in it.

When Apple makes their presentation ask yourself are there any features I want as in the color, camera, the processor etc. if not stick with your old phone. If so get one. If it doesn’t prove to be satisfactory return it.

No regrets here, but it's normal for that feeling of newness to wear off. At first you notice all the improvements and appreciate them, but a week later they just seem normal. However, if you tried going back to your old phone, you would notice the difference again and might miss the new features.

No regrets. Battery life and camera are good upgrades for me. Plus, I was just ready for a new iPhone. Coming from an X to an 11 Pro.

Don’t feel ripped off because I knew what I was buying.
However, Apple should not be using 64GB storage in their base “Pro’s”. That is just pure greed - 128gb should be the minimum just like they don’t offer a 512gb in their 11.

it just pushes people to spend more for the storage right levels. They know 128GB is the sweet spot.

it's called business strategy. Apple can sell ice to an eskimo and they'd think it's the best thing ever.
 
No regrets at all. Screen is really sharp and the battery is a beast.
