Genuinely curious, how does this make you feel that you were completely wrong with your anecdotal assertion about there ‘wouldn’t be an XR2’, and guess what, not only did Apple return the XR (Now known as the iPhone 11) for another year, but they reduced the price as well. I guess we’ll just chalk your claim up as...false.
I was deciding between the Note 10 and the 11 pro
I eventually bought the 11 pro (at a 30% premium) as:
1. My whole ecosystem is on apple. Thinking of changing my childrens GPS tracking system, storage of pictures on icloud, app store authentication system, etc. were too much
2. The 11 pro camera is better, and i do like cameras
3. The 11 pro materials are slightly higher grade. This means something to me as i carry it around
4. The Note 10 pen is plasticy and I might loose it
5. the projected battery life of the 11 pro is better
I would say therefore that the 11 pro and apple won
But it was close

You know you can get a anker fast charger for like $20?
You are actually right in all respects. I was not happy with the Note 10+ camera at all. It is the most beautiful (Aura Glow) smartphone out there.
I think the camera was better than my Xs max for maybe outdoor photos but for taking pictures of my kids which is basically what I use my camera for the Xs max is better. Even for outdoor pics I was just used to the more natural look on my Xs max. The note 10+ is a great phone though. Just prefer the iPhone and the apple ecosystem. I’m sticking with the Xs max for another year I think.
I did use the Notes from the Note 7(disaster), Note 8, 9, and 10. The Note 10+ is a superb Android, except you won't get instant security updates like the Google Pixels. For a while I would go from Apple to Android. The Pixel 3 XL does have the best camera on a smartphone, but I don't care for the plain looks and the lack of accessories.The Pixels are always heavily discounted by Google because they don't sell as well as Apple and Samsung. Apple has always had a better camera than Samsung though. And since I'm not a professional photograper, the Apple cameras have always made me happier than the other makers' cameras. And now that it's easy to integrate Google Apps into an Apple, Apple trumps all the others.

lol... have you been holding on to this thread for almost a year...

Well, he was partially right. No more Xr naming. And, the price drop was expected since it's a mid ranger with a low near-720p display at flagship prices.
The iPhone is selling out on release date like all the previous years! Go to Apple.com, none of the 11 Pro Maxes are available for in-store pickup. Anyone who didn't preorder is not getting the phone on 9/20/19. Unless they're going to line up outside an Apple Store at 2 A.M.
Terrible! Don’t you just hate that negative price increase and extra camera on the iPhone 11? Along with upgraded guts?
Yeah, there was no price increase, just an even better, faster A13 Bionic Chip(CPU) and a dramatically improved camera and battery life. So what's not to like about the iPhone 11 Pro Max?
apparently they are not having slow sales:

I’m curious, why would anyone suggest increased prices when there clearly are none, and slow sales when there’s strong support for robust sales (apple no longer reports numbers)?
My only answer is that they’re practicing for ‘Apple’s Christmas sales are terribly slow’ schtick that we’re about to get into as we approach Thanksgiving. And almost every year Christmas sales set new records.

prices have gone up in the UK, but possibly to do with USD/GBP
although its still mean
This thread is from almost a year ago about a different set of iPhones. (Not quite sure why it suddenly got brought up again.)

Fairly clear that’s not really the aspect what was being commented on those posts.
Probably because the posts are indistinguishable from year to year and someone thought it was about this year’s phones - and it just as well could have been. But you are right about the OP relating to last year’s phones. Here’s an example, Kuo is down on Apple especially the XR, now Kuo notes strong iPhone 11 sales. Many of the desirable models are sold out for launch day delivery.

And we’re already gearing up for a ‘lean Christmas’ in spite of Christmas usually being very strong for Apple. Apple products make great Christmas gifts.
Nope, there’s nothing ‘partial’ about it. That member was blatantly incorrect (But you already knew that). Verbatim they said there would _not_ be an XR2, one year later, Apple proves the OP’s very own words wrong with the 2019 version.
I was on the fence about jumping to the Note 10 also, but after taking a step back and thinking about it. My life runs so much smoother with apple products. Free imessage on planes (I fly a lot) sharing files with other iPhone users is seamless. All of my audit co workers have iPhones so it makes it easy.
Major apps are released for iPhone first. I remember when Instagram started doing videos and the android app was a month or so behind on getting that update. (I had a galaxy 5 at the time)
I also like being able to walk into an Apple store and receive amazing customer service. If your phone is having issues they can typically resolve the problem immediately or they will give you a different phone. I remember the days of going to Verizon and every issues resolution was "you need a software update." Now I have zero interaction with Verizon, which is perfect.
People don’t really care about the screen though do they? It’s about what the phone offers practically and the iOS experience. Price is key as no flagship on the market is particularly blowing anybody away and hasn’t been for some time. The days of mass yearly upgrading are well and truly over.
