I don’t know about the “only good thing” but $449/549 for the 8/8 Plus is a really good price point imo. Expect the 4.7” model if not both to be discontinued in March if the rumored new 4.7 inch “SE” model is launched; it should be about $499.

How would you have done it? Just curious
Yes, but for $1000 phone I would expect more and the very UGLY thing ( which no one wanted and like ) is not the answer....
Don’t think the back looks that bad at all...it blends in far better than the early leaks showed
Camera on this might be the best on the market now...

People are already eating broccoli and cauliflower, I don't see people leaving them for what asparagus has to offer.
I have to say that I have been waiting until yesterday to decide which phone to go for on my upgrade. I had been looking at the XS but that is now DtA (Dead to Apple), as I'm not looking for a phone with a size that makes it half way to an iPad I have to go towards the 11 Pro as IMHO 11/XR are too big for a phone that's easy to carry around in your pocket and impossible in running shorts.
Regarding the camera bump, yeah it's not the most attractive feature, personally I've hated not being able to put my phone down flat without a case since the 6S, but like someone above said, how often do you look at the back of the phone? BUT I do like the way that on the silver model they have left the glass in the camera bump clear (unfrosted) so that the stainless steel body beneath is visible.
On size alone I'll be going for the 11Pro and berate myself later for paying more to get something smaller.

I hear that Ive walked out because he couldn’t defy the laws of physics. Shame on him.
It appears most people are only interested in the camera features.
You can get a DSLR Camera (with lens) or Action Camera for half or a third of the price. On top of that most Cameras automatically sync with your phone.
As an amateur photographer, i always walk around with my Gopro Hero.

Wow. You don’t have very high standards if you’re shooting on a go pro.
IMO Apple have truly lost the plot over what them a huge mainstream success in the first place - Achingly desirable and somewhat innovative products at realistic premium prices.
The purity and simplicity of concept gave them something no-one else managed at the time.
This is none of the above - A super-ugly bastardisation of an existing design, nothing particularly innovative, and unjustifiably expensive.
What a pity, Apple.

Even without that, the Samsung lineup is far more appealing. Aside from the camera, the same ole lingo from Apple "2x as fast". I was hoping to get it, but nope!
It is going to be very challenging decision for buyers of any of the iPhone 11 lineup (not sure wht they put X for earlier edition though). Between $1000-$1600+ taxes lots of future thinking needs to be accounted. Design wise there is no significant advantage or disadvantage since I don't care about the notch or bump etc so long mobiles function without any issues....
There are always usual suspects for early bird adopters of LTE tech in 2019-20 where many issues may get reported (LTE performance, WiFi performance) and subsequently may get addressed, by which time it may be 5G year 2020!!

Actually the notch is STILL very ugly ( especially in 2019 ) - just because nobody mentioned it doesn't mean it is beautiful or acceptable...
)))
Question: During the presentation, while Apple lingered on the improvements to the cameras, they only showed one night mode picture then moved on. I didn’t watch all the videos posted, but did you have a chance to test it? Again, paranoid because of how quickly they moved on.
Apple today introduced the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max at Steve Jobs Theater. The media had the chance to go hands-on with the devices after the keynote and have shared photos and first impressions.
First Impressions
Most of the first impressions focused on the camera upgrades and slightly tweaked design of each new iPhone.
The Verge's Dieter Bohn said he prefers the matte finish and seamless camera bump of the iPhone 11 Pro:SlashGear's Chris Davies was not a big fan of the camera bump, but he does understand why it was designed the way it was:TechRadar's Gareth Beavis on the lower-end iPhone 11's cameras:Photos

Videos
MacRumors will have our own hands-on video of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro in the days ahead and in-depth coverage of the new devices.

Thought I’d put this out there - silly season stuff, but we could have “Holegate” to face next...
Apparently the iPhone 11 Pro can trigger those who have a fear of small holes.

APPLE SHOULD FIRE WHOEVER DESIGNED THAT CAMERA BUMP!
How on earth did anybody at Apple think and say "Hey, that is a really great design - I LOVE IT!"
Holy crap the longer i stare at it, the uglier it gets. Looks like some fake yPhone from China.
The leaks looked better with that black square.

You actually don't know how many phones they sell now, they removed those numbers.
Its like camera lenses were an afterthought on this phone. Everything was probably wrapped up and ready for production when somebody in Apple went "Hey, where are the camera lenses?" and Tim went "Oh no" And Jony Ive went "Deal with it, Im out!". And then they outsourced the design to some Indian dude on upwork.
no wonder jony ive quit. he probably threw up in his mouth when the design team trotted this baby out.
