These phones are going to be a bust. I guess maybe they can depend on the masses you don't read rumor sites and don't know about the vastly improved phones coming in 2020.

Same here. I love my X. Xs offered nothing that tempted me to upgrade. I think my next one will be the 2020 phone.

Is the note 10 a bust? Will still sell more then their comp
 
iPhone 11 possible leaked specs. Mostly overdue spec bump, removal of 3D Touch and addition of Pencil support.

Seeing news (rumors, "confirmed rumors") in the past 30-45 min that the new phones will NOT have bilateral wireless charging.

"Apple has been having some issues with the reverse wireless charging for AirPods/Watch on back of the new high-end iPhones, despite it being planned. This is a feature Samsung has had for months and would be Apple’s second miss on charging (AirPower) if true."

**PS: Eh, those Pastel / Easter colors.
No, not for me, they look like cheap toys

Probably didn’t want to release “just a” bilateral wireless charging station. So maybe for next year.
 
Interesting. My launch day XS Max has AppleCare+ expiring on 9/20/20. You need to check into that big time.

yea I got to call tomorrow. In addition to saying I have limited warranty expiring on 9/22/19, Apples site says my phone is not enrolled in the upgrade program. I still have the original emails, including email saying I have AppleCare+ through 9/2020... wth....
 
If they didn't find the XS or XS Max compelling enough to upgrade, the 11 with minor improvements probably won't be compelling enough for them either.

Why wouldn't 6S or 7 users find this a compelling upgrade?

It's the same price as the XS/XS Max, or for the base 11, it's $50 cheaper than the XR.

What do you get for that price?
Well, compared to the XS/XS Max, you get, a far better camera setup, faster charging, faster CPU, better cell signal, WiFi 6, stronger glass, *maybe* more RAM, spatial audio support(I had it on my LG, it's great), faster Face ID that works from more angles, a larger battery(either 3,500mAh or 3,650mAh), a new haptic feedback system, oh and it gets a full 6 years of updates whereas the 6S/7 will stop being supported next year or year after next.

Compared to the 6S, we have:
1.) More RAM(4 or 6GB, iFixit teardown will confirm either way).
2.) More storage(6S tops at 128GB, 11 Pro/Max tops out at 512GB)
3.) Larger, higher res display(6.5")
4.) Far faster CPU(it is literally faster than many entry-level x86 laptops).
5.) Far longer battery life(3,500mAh VS 2,750mAh)
6.) Face ID
7.) WiFi 6
8.) Support for new cellular bands(band 46, band 66, band 71, LTE-LAA)
9.) Triple camera instead of single camera.

Plus, one can trade in the 6S for $120 off of a new iPhone, which reduces the price even more.
