That’s a common theme on enthusiasts forums, only the best or most expensive is worthy. Us mortals are too broke or just not cool enough to see what’s obvious.

iPhone 11 I returned my 11 pro for a 11

I finally went the Apple store and compared to 11, 11 Pro and Max side by side. The 11 screen was better than I imagined. I put all three at full brightness and the Pro and Max were brighter but it wasn’t a significant difference. I was having issues trying to see the pixels on the 11 with the 820p display. For $699, that phone is DEFINITELY a winner! Wow. I was impressed. I was so close to trading in my X for the 11 but jailbreak is important to me. Oddly enough, the Pro and Max screens were slightly yellow compared to the 11 all white display. I made sure True Tone was off on all three.

well I’m past my 14 day period now with my pro max. I would have tried the 11 but my pro max battery is amazing.
What is all adjustable?

Yeah, the Pro Max battery is just simply sickening!! That alone makes it an amazing device
What sort of time scale are you getting on the battery? All recent iPhones seem pretty good for battery life of late so I’m curious on the Pro Max.
I thought you were being sarcastic at first, but you’re actually serious about this? You may have the best phone, but if you go back home to your parents house and own a 16 year old economy car then you’re just “faking the funk” as they say. If you have the best phone and a 6 figure job with a big house then by all means, live your best life.
Exactly, my boss is one of the wealthiest men in the Netherlands yet uses an iPhone X. It’s sad when youngsters here think a phone gives them instant status and Starbucks fame if it’s the most expensive that brand offers. In my circles most of my friends and associates aren’t sporting iPhone 11 Pro’s despite being easily able to afford them, that’s not how life works.
A Rolex is something that not everyone can own. Someone who makes $300 per week can finance an iPhone. Having something doesn’t mean you can afford it. I am not wealthy and I am definitely not a show off. A phone is only a status symbol in third world countries. When a McDonald’s fry cook can buy a top of the line phone, it loses all status it may have had. No shame in it, but I can’t say I would want anything to do with someone who was enamored by a phone. A Bentley GT? Yeah, I would drool over one of those if I saw it at a stop light. iPhone pro? LOL
Your previous post said it was ‘all adjustable if you know how’... This was the point where you really should have explained how to do it as that would be helpful for people here.
I know a few lads who work on our factory floor who drive 2002/3 cars but have very expensive mobile phones. It’s all achievable with credit cards these days or living status.
It’s also how you spend in other areas. Instead of going out every weekend or 2-3 Hoilday’s a year many like to just spend it on tech gadgets. Just because you can afford the latest iphone, watch, ipad e.t.c doesn’t mean you are loaded after all just means you choose to spend things in different ways.
Right! Unless if it is build with gold or diamond a Smartphone is not a luxury object but an electronic device that last not really long over time.
Exactly, we all spend our money differently. I don’t go out every weekend as I can’t with two children but I’d rather spend more money on a car or go on as many holidays as I can a year. Phones aren’t as interesting as they used to be to me during the tech race a few years ago and having the latest and greatest is no longer a priority.
What does annoy me on here is the viewpoint that those people who don’t buy the latest and greatest are somehow not as in to tech as those that do or not as tech savvy. What utter bollocks. People just need to remember that phone choice is not indicative of a users ability or wealth level.
Probably because there’s about 2-3mm in it so it’s nothing? Your description is rather an overreaction don’t you think?
Agreed, people at work think I’m loaded as i have the latest iphone, watch, ipad and drive a Mercedes. Not really the case i just don’t go spending huge money on other things. I like my tech and thats my hobby. Some peoples hobbies are going on weekends away every month or going out drinking/meals out but for my wife and I we are very much happy relaxing at home. When she isn’t around a Saturday night watching football/NBA is far more exciting for me....
if the older apple devices weren’t still so good I’m sure people like yourself might find the need to upgrade but the older devices still work so well.
I will be getting my wife the series 3 for her birthday and i know that will still work great for her for many years...just like those on the iPhone 8/8 plus or older are still going strong. That’s more a credit to apple making products last longer than it is about the person who decides to stick with older devices.
I am very much into photography and shoot Leica.
Still “only” got the 11 because of PWM, colours and because the cameras are good enough. When you have enough light, photography has very little to do with the camera you are using anyway. I am happy about the advances in the dark like night mode, though.
I have the latest Apple Watch, 2017 iPhone and iPad but like yourself I do drive a Mercedes lol (66 Plate).
Too poor or not worthy by some of the people’s standards here to own a current iPhone though

You got to rock a Pro with that car with a Pitaka case.
