Not really. There’s more than enough out there to prove that statement not true, taking all shooting scenarios into account.

Does Apple have anything that can rival NighSight? Low light images is a big deal, if Google is doing this via software why has Apple not ceased the opportunity? If Google is doing this via hardware, again why is Apple unable to deliver considering they are commanding a higher price for a premium device.

I am not taking sides, all I am saying is that if you are going to demand the price then deliver the goods. :p
 
If it really will have the “pro” moniker, I expect it’ll have the biggest screen on an iPhone yet, pencil support and usb-c to plug-in a monitor or keyboard or external storage.
It’d be actually cool to be able to start typing a document in word during the commute to work, and once at the office plug in a keyboard and monitor and keep going....for someone who uses primarily excel, word and emails it’d be actually a decent laptop replacement, if the iOS version of the Microsoft suite gets some improvements to bring it closer to the MacOS counterpart.
 
Why not? Apple is rewarded by its mindless customers who automagically fork over double or triple the price for something labeled "pro". This makes total sense and Apple will make a killing off narcissistic, self-obsessed people who are defined by their shiny "pro" objects.

Apple is capitalizing on your collective stupidity and you are all letting them.

Though Office products are available for free to use on phones, I have never seen someone use them other than for minor edits. Microsoft knows that it is not a preferred entry method hence it offers it free for use on small screen sizes. I presume of USB-C is offered there will be no external display or mirroring support for Office. Microsoft is not stupid. :p
 
Is this seriously a surprise? Doesn't take a genius to follow the decimal numbering system. 9, 10, 11... etc. Coinx can count. Great.

Hmm, all Apple’s efforts to sell people on the lower end XR says that people are very concerned about price. Apple had higher trade-in offers and other various promos aimed at the XR and the financial reports says it worked for the XR model.

Other than the few who were looking for a direct + model replacement in the Max that phone is way overpriced out of many low income customers. I am sure this “Pro” model will sell, however not many in the long term.

I am surprised that Apple offers no smaller devices options, I would trade in my XS for a 2019 model of offered. Not interested in large devices as I have a laptop for that. :p

iPhone 9? o_O

Looking forward to the day AW replaces an iPhone with a projected screen and an iPhone type device that rolls out into an iPad. :D

Where's the $1000 stand for the $1500 Pro Phone?

iPhone Pro has a built-in kickstand. :p

Apple produces the most accurate colors and the best videos. Can google produce good videos? Taking one scenario as the entirety of the possible ways to use the camera is a bit biased.:p

Seems like they are just searching for another way of bumping up the price. The iPhone 11 and 11R will keep the current pricing, while the Pro will test out a new pricing structure... crazy
 
Staying on my iPhone X from 2017. Will upgrade to the 5G iPhone 12 Pro in 2020. I'm sure there are many people on here with the same thought.
Yes, but I’d be happy to upgrade this year if we could get some real upgrades like 8gb of RAM and not just that same phone with a new name and an additional camera. People always ramble on about how iPhones require less RAM because they intelligently monitor background apps... BS. They close apps I’m currently using when I try to multitask with two power hungry apps. That’s not intelligently monitoring jack. That’s irritating to people who try to get a lot out of their device. It’s fricking 2019 and we still can’t effectively multitask with an iPhone. I’d be happy to pay a “pro” price tag if we could get some premium hardware.
 
You willing to eat your hat (if you wear one). :p

Haha, actually yes. Apple's facing the most challenging year considering iPhone sales. They must consolidate their position in the market by all means this year. There's absolutely no room for a price hike, and they know it. Even if there is a new hit with tariffs, I am pretty certain that Apple will eat up the cost. Moreover, I think we will get an included fast charger and/or 128 GB base storage.
