Ah, I got it now: That means that rotary dial phone in my parents house when I was a kid was also a “PRO” device.
Got a tip for us?

Astonishing how so many here get so frothed up with a major case of the shakes over how a company names their products.
Not healthy.

So Apple increasing their prices every year is a "baseless assumption"?
Except apple’s “day old bread” is better than other bakers “fresh baked”, to continue with that analogy.

What are the prices of the 2019 phones? Apple didn’t increase the prices every year for all models. With the iPhone 8 the plus models were actually reduced by $50.

What if this is a laptop? Just sayin. Adding USB-C could potentially make this a fully functional computer.
I concur looking at what Google has been able to prove compared to Apple.
Yep, some people will support Apple and claim well they may have been slow to incorporate this and that feature but it is done right, while other things like FaceID, well they did it first. I don’t believe FaceID on iPhone is perfect but to what has been available in this space it is better. May you prefer TouchID or FaceID it is a matter of preference.
Apple has been slipping into the mindset of brand recognition and riding that wave far too long with absurd pricing. People fail to understand that this increase in price gives the green light to the rest of the industry that increased prices are acceptable by the consumer. In the end the companies win and the consumer looses. But people are brainwashed by the marketing and status.
Neither do I...congrats....your response is literally the dumbest thing I’ve read all day.
The “pro” monicker for a phone is ridiculously stupid...but par for the course for Tim Cook’s Apple.
I’m sure all the shills invited will give a standing O this fall though.

Posh considering Google is able to do better with one lens that Apple still is unable to do with two and at a fraction of the price.
Let's get that functionality on an iPad first and then we can entertain the notion of it on an iPhone as well
I’ve been stuck in the replace every 2 year cycle (except when my 8 pro was stolen right after I got it)
There is zero chance I buy the X... 11... whatever they call it.
My wife’s Xs is crap. The battery life is awful - and percent of new is LESS than my two year old 8 Pro... I mean Plus.
WiFi range is unusable.
Maybe I’ll get a new one in early 2021... after the 2020 rush dies down.

I am curious to see how the Max sales are for the 2019 models. Last year Max sales outnumbered XS because there was a demand to have a direct replacement for the Plus model. However over the following quarters the XR did well, not because of screen size but price as Apple had a lot of trade-in and other promo incentives advertised heavily at that model.
I wonder once the initial demand (if there is actually one) for this “Pro” iPhone has been met, what will Apple’s game plan be. At present Apple sells the SE,6S/+,7,8,X(some markets),XS,XR and Max. The Pro model is it in addition too or are they going to drop any other models. There is a big gap in the smaller device model lineup, I still miss my SE.
Comparable-model off-contract price increases for current- and previous-year iPhones:
- iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4: $599 to $649
- iPhone 6s Plus to iPhone 7 Plus: $749 to $769
- iPhone 7 to iPhone 8: $649 to $699
- iPhone 7 Plus to iPhone 8 Plus: $769 to $799
- iPhone 8 to iPhone XR: $699 to $749 (throwing this in strictly as the "base model flagship," though it's arguable whether an iPhone XR is a comparable model to an iPhone 8)
I wouldn't be too surprised if we see iPhone 11's price drop to something as low as $699, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it stays at $749. I would be surprised if any of these three iPhones is more expensive than last year's comparable model.
Plus, if we start at $599 in 2007, the "price of entry" to the current year's iPhones has roughly kept pace with inflation.

Not really. There’s more than enough out there to prove that statement not true, taking all shooting scenarios into account.Posh considering Google is able to do better with one lens that Apple still is unable to do with two and at a fraction of the price.
