I really don’t see the utility in such a small screen, but to each their own.
I've always been happy with Apple products since my first in 2009, nothing that Android has appeals me to break the system and change at all.
Buy Stock and Be Happy! or be like me get drunk and sleep on the sidewalk
Yeah. But you knew that was gonna happen.
The iPhone 7 was really an iPhone 6SS, and the iPhone 8 was really a 6SSS.
The iPhone 11 was really more like an iPhone XSS.
So yeah, every year, the upgrades are going to feel smaller and smaller.
Except that Android still compresses every photo you share through any service.
Sure, in your anecdotal opinion.
What Android/s are you interested in? Android manufacturers tend to really go for max specs and cutting edge feature sets, but the end result isn’t always as polished and provide for a trouble-free experience as one could wish for.
My husband’s S20 Ultra camera is now working pretty well but he’s had to own it for several months worth of incremental software updates for it to be tolerable. I’ve had my share of frustrations with the in-display fingerprint scanner. It just does not work for me. And they have issued the latest Notes with the same FPS.
I like Pixel phones, but they are weak compared to the competition in terms of video recording specs and quality. And this year’s models are very basic in design and specs. There’s nothing wrong with going back to basics, especially in a year like this one, but be aware that there are Android fans as frustrated with this turn of events as you are with what Apple is doing.
I don’t own a OnePlus, but I hear they’re nice phones. However their cameras are said to be lower in quality than Samsung cameras despite the exciting specs. So that’s why I don’t bother with them, since I’ve been in Samsung’s upgrade path for a few years now.
My husband has owned one Huawei phone. It did have a very impressive camera performance that was ahead of all the rest of our American and Korean phones at the time. Unfortunately, they’re not available in the US anymore. If you have access to them wherever you are, go for it. But read up on possible security concerns and lack of Play Store access with some Chinese phones like Huawei.
There are of course other Android phones. I’ve heard mixed opinions on LG.
You will also be losing out on options for cases and accessories that you may be used to having with Apple. Samsung is a brand well supported in the US but LG and Google have far less third party accessory support.
But by all means, if you’re dissatisfied with Apple, do give Android a try. I’ve enjoyed my time experimenting with Android phones and will continue to own them for years to come. I just think people need to make an informed decision about them. It’s easy to declare frustration and say you’re leaving. I have done so myself so I’m not criticizing you for thinking and saying exactly the sort of things I’ve said myself. Just...temper your expectations or you will likely be frustrated making a switch.
Edit: wait I just saw your comment that you already have a Note 20 Ultra? So why are you here blowing a gasket about iPhones? If you think you already have the ultimate experience go out and enjoy it for gods sake.
This....so this! I am hoping that Apple comes up with some sort of work around, but it is doubtful.So 2 extra IUP payments now and then extra payments next year if they launch in September? Price you pay if you want to play I guess...
In the past when I got the phone a bit late as I wasn't quick on the pre-order, and got charged for the next month, they've refunded me a months payment. I didn't even have to ask.
Not saying they'll do that this year.
I would go with the iPhone 11 Pro Max, this years iPhones might be more trouble than they are worth.
RIP Midnight Green Why don't they let it continue into the 12 lines, makes no sense it's an awesome colour. Blue is so generic!

Anyone also thinking about the cost increase for the plan? I realize this is not just an Apple issue...but any 5G phone I would imagine will come with the need to move to a plan that supports 5G, so add another ten dollars a month on top of whatever the cost will be for the model you choose. For myself, I do not live in an area that will even have 5G for probably about another 2 years...so $240 bucks on top of the cost of the actual phone?
I agree. A 7-month wait from the time these rumours first surfaced is totally acceptable, but 8 months? Beyond the pale.
See the updated tweet that lines up with the article... its a bummer for sure though (that the mini is coming later)
Well that doesn't actually say anything. How does it compare to running 60hz?Excuse me, what?
According to GSM arena the 120hz web browsing is 2 hours 5 minutes less on the 120hz display vs 60hz. And 3 hours 39 minutes less for video playback. On the S20+ comparison I found.
120hz at 1080 resolution, 60hz at 1440 resolution.
Samsung Galaxy S20+ review
The Galaxy S20+ has a 6.7-inch display - closer to the Ultra's 6.9 inches than it is to the vanilla S20's 6.2. In all other respects, it's identical to...
Up to you to decide if that's a sizeable difference or not that affects your daily use.
I hope Apple pays someone to read this forum. With the loss your business from the lack of a USB-C port added to the three people who refuse to buy anything without a 120Hz display, their bottom line stands to take a whopping 0.0000000000000001% hit.
Tim will have his head on the chopping block before you can say, “The most valuable company in the world.” 🤣
They won't put a USB-C on an iphone. They'll ditch the port entirely and go with a magsafe connector on the side.
are we definitely not getting usb c?
sorry I meant iPhone 12 I read 2 models would not be released until next year
