iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max going back for iPhone 11... maybe

[Gamer-Dad]

Each model has its own merits. Funny how some people have to justify there spending habits. This was funny last year with the XS/XR debates.

OMG, you got a 11. You must be a Samsung fan lol.

The max is expensive. I’m returning my pro max 11 256gb I got for $1250 last Saturday as well.

but that’s because I’m getting the 256gb max pro 11 delivered today for $799! Att retentions giving all phones $450 off if u agree to 2 year contract. Just like the old days. $325-$10/month ETF. At worst even if I’m not happy with att (which I’ve been with for 15.4 years). After 12 months. I’m still getting over $200 off the phone.

cost is a huge issue for those always buying the lastest greatest. Even iphone upgrade program for the pro max 11 is gonna to cost $600-700 a year and u don’t even own the phone after 12 months if u want to trade in. U are taking a 50% hit on the phone at trade in essentially.

$400 for something that will be superseded in 12 months by a new design iPhone 5G?

I think this year is probably the easiest to choose the $700 model iPhone.

I think you should quit thinking, because nobody but Apple really knows if there will be a new design next year. I expect an 11S in the same X/11 form factor, just as the 6/6S/7/8 were.

The most accurate Apple analyst in the world with a nearly perfect track record thinks there will be a new form factor. I will go with him.

I thought this too but looking at the 6/7/8 and then the X/XS/XR/11/Pro cycle, it looks like they're sticking to a design every 3(ish) years. Seems like a new design is due. We might see the 8 leaving the lineup next year as the last touch id phone, getting replaced with the XR as the budget iPhone.

Well I'm probably wrong in saying the 8 is the last iPhone with Touch ID.

The iPhone 8 was the 2017 iPhone, in line with the 6/6S/7/8 (4 years).

iPhone X that year was a "one more thing" special for the iPhone 10th Anniversary, Cook called it the future of the iPhone.

Right now, we have a 4-year history of iPhones: 4/4S/5/5S (yes), 6/6S/7/8, and I expect it will be X/XS/11/11S, with 11S having 5G cellular.

Nobody really knows until we get close to September 2020; we could have the 11S, we could have the 11S + 12 (a newly designed Pro), or we could just have the entirely new 12 line.

Point is - people shouldn't assume that next year will be a redesign of new hardware, because nobody knows anything but rumors at this early date.

We had rumors for this year's iPhone 11: completely expecting reverse wireless charging and USB-C, which so many people were sure of up until a couple of days ahead of announcement. *cough*

I plan on upgrading from the XsMax to the 11 pro max for two simple reasons. The ultra wide shots
for those random large group photos, and the night photo capability.
Just reading about the larger battery so it makes it a plus. If it were not for those to things
I would stick with my XsMax.
For those who have switched from the x to the 11 is the reception and call quality the same or better?

Yep, all good points. We'll see next September!

When I ran the numbers, the price difference was actually $550 more for the pro Max, not $400. The reason is I can’t spend big bucks on a phone to only have 64GB of ram, so it’s an extra $50 to get 128 on the 11. That’s an extra $150 on the Pro Max to get 256GB. That extra $100 is getting you more storage, but for me 256GB is a waste.

The next price jump is AppleCare. $199 on the Pro, $149 on the 11. Out of warranty repairs are even more on the Pro so it seems like Apple Care is a must.

I could in no way justify an additional $550 for the small differences between the 2...

maybe you, and everyone else should stop feeding the monster and stop buying iphone anything. Apple does not deserve the profit levels they enjoy. Period.

Everyone keeps harping on about a ‘new form factor’ when all that’s been suggested is that they’ll make the sides of the iPhone flat like the old 4/4S and reduce and maximise the Pro sizes. Hardly revolutionary. What more can they realistically do to the iPhone? Gone are the days of completely different-looking smartphones.

Kuo said it will be a new 6.7” display with a smaller notch. That’s the definition of a new form factor. No one said revolutionary.

I dont want to create a whole nother thread but i have a question. Why do i see so many exchange and return threads? Im asking because do people not care about paying restocking fees? I just bought an XS but may do an exchange for the 11 pro, so i went to look at the procedure for Verizon and itll cost me 50 to exchange.

Buy at an Apple store, there's no restocking fee...

 

[StellarVixen]

Most people don't need or want 256GB, so then the choice realisticly, for a lot of people, myself included is:

iPhone 11 128GB $749
iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB $1249

That's a $500 difference, which is more realistic, as both 64GB options are too restricted in storage capacity for most people.

I have my XS Max for almost a year now, and I still have more than 40 GB free out of 64 GB.


I have no idea what would I do with 128, let alone 256 GB. I would probably have 150-200 GB empty anytime.
