I can’t show my face in Starbucks anymore since the last time. My phone was ringing and I pulled it out of my pocket to answer it and pretty much everybody gasped! I think a MBP even fell on a hipsters lap in shock! I literally had to run out covering my face. I own an 8+.


If you want to be on top of the food chain and want the latest and greatest you need to have 3 cameras on the back

I could just put a circular black sticker on the back of my iPhone to fake it instead and pretend to be as important as those with the actual latest and greatest. Could I get away with 2 additional stickers or even cover the back in them? The more cameras the better! I’m not really worthy enough for this exclusive club yet though I think.

They do make a black sticker to make an iPhone 11 non Pro have 3 cameras.

Yeah but come to think of it isn’t that similar to someone putting a sock down the front of their underpants though? It’s just false.

In all seriousness though, why would people want to pretend they had an iPhone 11 Pro? What do you think owning that device says about you and what is your perception of you image in front of others? Genuine question.

There’s a market for the camera sticker though.
 
The difference here between a 11 and 11 pro both 256gb is $5AUD a week over 2 years, 1 coffee, why would you get the 11.
 
Who gives a hoot what people in Starbucks thinks anyway? They would be holding their nose when I whip out my iPhone 8 I'd imagine.

You can always tell who the young and clueless are by their elitist comments.
 
hahaha it can happen! the 11 is a little bigger but that little is really noticeable on the day to day use!
This!
I returned my 11 because it was too big. I feel comfortable with my X. That little extra size and bulk of the 11 was just too much for me...
 
To be honest - I had an iPhone Xs 64gb and bought an iPhone 11 256gb to replace it and now I think it may have made a mistake.
It’s not the quality of the screen (it’s a great screen) and not the thick bezels (you get used to them), but the fact that the whole device is bigger compared to the iPhone 11 Pro. When you put an Otterbox symmetry Case on it you feel like you’re holding a brick in your hand.
Unfortunately I don’t have an Applecare+ service in my country so I’m not brave enough to use my device without a case.
 
Because there are people out there with limited funds that can't afford the more expensive phone. SOMETIMES these people want to justify their less expensive phone as being just as good or better than the more expensive upgraded phone. It's a thing dude, accept it.

Oh wait I see now... You're another one that thinks the lesser 11 is better than the more expensive 11 Pro.
frankly, aside wide angle camera, i also prefer LCD to the pentile amoled. i think it has a more consistent viewing angle and better uniformity.
The only thing about 11 Pro (sans camera) i like is the form factor, i find Xr/11 tad on the "big" size, but that camera and form factor is not worth 300€ to me.

Because i prefer LCDs over AMOLEDs for example.
The biggest reason I thought XS was better than XR was 3D touch, and now its gone.

so if they were the same price you would take the lcd, don’t think so

A smaller/thinner case would help.

No, because of the third camera and smaller form factor, which I'd both prefer (but is not worth 300€ to me)

But if they were the same 1:1 and one had LCD and one OLED pentile, i'd pick the LCD one any day of the week.
I just don't like pentile screens, it's not OLED that bothers me.
 
A smaller/thinner case would help.
smaller case = less protection.
less protection = higher risk when dropped by mistake.
higher risk when dropped by mistake = paying around 300 USD for repair if dropped.

That's the problem.
 
All adjustable in settings if you know how, no different than what the Xr needed too when i had it.
 
I have the pro max and wondering if I made a mistake. How much of a difference is there between the size and battery.
