The LIDAR is so un-apple - adding a technology for which they have no purpose.

Interestingly with enough LIDAR phones the entire world inside and outside could be mapped though collaboration in a few months. Crazy.

No purpose? You might want to read up on AR and its potential. And how Apple has been investing heavily in that technology.
 
The 12 is on the left correct?
So the 11 has the smaller bezel?
Yes, 12 on the left.
And no 12 is smaller, might want to look at it again. It probably won't be noticeable IRL tho, it's such a small difference.
 
Wow, seems like everything from the event has leaked! Including the HomePod mini. Wonder if there will be any surprise?

I’m Shocked how much before the keynote with colors and models. I’m sure Cook probably isn’t pleased, but this is the unfortunate side effect to the most popular tech company in the world.

If there was any surprises we may see, (because obviously this is an iPhone keynote), I would like to see the studio headphones personally.

If you include the grey portion, yes. But I'm looking at just the black bezel portion where the 11 is noticably smaller.

That "grey portion" is a reflection on the 11 pro bezel from the 2.5D glass (that's gone on the 12 due to flat glass panel).

I’m on 10 Xs max and I still don’t see a need to upgrade to iPhone 12. 5G still sucks and not as fast yet.
So maybe iPhone 13 would be nice 👍 for me
 
Definitely worth saving your money this year, but please buy it, I want the stock to go up.

I’m definitely upgrading even though I have the 256GB XS Max. My number 1 reason for upgrading to have the Qualcomm modem back in my iPhone. Intel’s modem sucks when it come to connectivity. I can’t tell you how many days with T-Mobile I had 1 bar or No Service in the same areas I get service with now with Verizon. We all have our own reasons why we want to upgrade.

inhave that phone and T-Mobile and zero issues ?? I see no need for upgrades till 5 G is more stable so probably another years.

but with people who have iPhone 6-8 it would be a huge upgrade

In my area with my Galaxy S7, I have 0 issues with my service but with my XS Max the service is poor. I deliver mail so I’m all over the city in my state and noticed certain buildings and areas I would lose service in, that I don’t lose service with now that I’m with Verizon. I also don’t live far from my station.
 
Less excited about the blue color now. I was hoping it would look more like this instead. Guess I'll be getting yet another black iPhone lol.

Wow... you're right! I totally forgot about that first version of blue that was leaked. I definitely like it better than what's shown in the article. Guess we'll find out soon which one is the real one but I hope it's the one from your image.
 
They look like the iPhone X, XS, 11 with a hint of mating with iPhone 5.
Famous Apple design

That's so Apple. Remember that hard-press to right-click that no one ever used? What was it called? 3D Touch?
I bet if they actually called it right click more people would have used

rumors is the camera will use it for hugely improved bokeh in portrait and other similar photos. today portrait mode still clips the edge of glasses, fly away hair, and struggles to create a smooth transition to the background blur due to lack of knowledge of just how far away everything is. if the lidar resolves this it will be worth EVERY PENNY dramatically improving photography on phones. if on the other hand it is just for AR apps it will disappointing.
 
I still don’t get how code in iOS 14 has stuff about refresh rate and they didn’t include it... like wth is pro beside a camera?

Newer iPhones have a 120Hz touch sample rate. 120Hz display was never happening if you followed the display supply chain analyst.
 
The lighter shade of blue seems to be a closer match to the new (blue) iPad Air. Much nicer, IMO.

MBP touch bar - meet iphone LIDAR.
 
Still the most important spec I need to know is = is PWM improved? Gonna have to wait a long time for reviews.
