iPhone 11 Pro Feeling ripped off after recent 11 Pro purchase.

This is kind of an S-S year, if you consider X >> XS >> 11 Pro with roughly the same FF, display design (aka notch), so I'd be __really__ inclined to believe the next gen will be a notable change.
That's a really interesting point about the physical design, needing a flat edge to charge the pencil, I'd suspect, if they provide 2-way charging via the rear for other phones/watch/earpods, the pencil would work on the back as well (maybe a "hot" pencil mag area[?]), but that's not a good packaging for slipping the whole thing in your pocket (though the iPhones are touch shorter, and have buttons on both sides ... maybe a "shorty pencil"
)
Those thinking that next year the iPhone will be the same with just the 5G upgrade, is wrong.
It is a bit too early to say anything as nothing is confirmed.
However I do remember reading news about Apple Pencil support for iPhone 11 but that didn’t happen, so it is obvious it will be released next year.
I also read that next year there will be a notch less phone as this year will be the last since iPhone X to have the notch,
Anyway, most of the guys who are buying the iPhone 11 will probably buy the iPhone 12 anyway. So discussing this in detail is pointless.
Nowadays spending $1500 for a phone is no big deal. We are seeing phones like the Galaxy Fold being sold for $2000 and also being sold out.

Someone doesn’t have a right to feel a certain way... what freakin’ country do you think we live in?!?! We don’t control our citizens that way.
I have no idea. Probably because this year leaks were already out that Apple will have a new form factor next year.
You can check various Videos on YouTube, most if not all say the same.
Rumor: Apple Has Prototyped a 6.7-Inch iPhone Without a Notch, Face ID Housed in Upper Bezel Instead
Apple has prototyped at least one iPhone with a 6.7-inch display and no notch, with the TrueDepth sensors for Face ID instead housed in the thin...

"......the rumor should be treated with some skepticism."
I have no idea what country you or he lives in. I’ve furthered my position within this thread and I stand by it, put as many !?!? next to your words as you’d like. 😃
Ripped off? Did someone force your hand with the credit card? Does it lack anything Apple promised you in the presentation?
I had the 8 as well and it feels night and day better than my 8. Screen is light years better and just a massive upgrade. But that’s just me

Idk why people thing they need to purchase the latest and greatest and then complain. You don’t have to upgrade. If your devices works fine then by all means keep it. The 8 is still a good phone and should last more years. My issue is that I’m indecisive and always have buyers remorse. I don’t have buyers remorse with this but I am wondering if I should return this and get the note 10+.
FWIW I upgraded from the 8+ to the 11. I like the 11 a lot. its a nice phone. I don't need the Pro so I didn't feel justified in spending the money on it.
It's kind of the opposite... my needs are for new capabilities, not just incremental improvements to existing features.
I don't care if an app opens slightly faster... or if the screen has perfect blacks in the dark... or if the camera includes improvements but mostly under limited shooting parameters (I shoot with dSLRs).
Does any of that add up to $1200 in incremental value over my current phone? No... just like I won't buy a new $1,200 MacBook every year only because it is faster and has a better screen. That said, at least the MacBook is useful for work.
Plus, the notch is horrendous and once they get rid of it, nobody will want these things.
Do you notice significant battery life between xr and 11 pro(small)? If so, how much?
I'm normally an Android guy but have been going back n forth to iphones for awhile, just my regular cycle of phone insanity. Have had an 8 (regular) for a few months and it really is the perfect form factor. If the rumored new 12 is 5.4" with full screen and Face ID I think that'll be a winner. In the meantime I recently tried an 11 for a week, hated the huge size, returned it, then an 11 Pro which as better but still quite heavy and bulky. Went back to the 8 and my Pixel 3. The Pixel has some software weirdness and other known oddities so I think I'm going to sell it. So of course today I went back and grabbed another 11Pro to see if this one last longer than the last. I do prefer the updated FaceID over the laggy button on the 8. Anyway I have almost a month of return window to play with it. All this to say smartphones of both flavors have definitely plateaued...I guess give Apple a tiny bit of credit for at least coming out with cutesy colors !
Came from an iPhone 7.
I like the phone a lot but I don’t know if I love it to pay £1000 for.
I’m considering returning and trying to hold out with my 7 for longer.
The 5.4” model that’s due next year has peaked my interest. May be cheaper than this years 11 Pro.

I think this is the reason Apple will likely launch a base iPhone (SE or 9 or whatever) in Spring for $399. Most people just don't need all of the bells and whistles, so it's good to have choices.
I agree that "ripped off" is a poor turn of phrase for this situation. Perhaps, "disappointed" would be better. It's ok to be disappointed with a purchase. It happens. Just return it.
