Is it just me or are iPhone rumors just getting really boring
Yeah, and the bitching is getting really old.

Eventually, massive upgrade will stop or halt until next truly groundbreaking technology kicks in.Should be massive upgrades each year for 1k+ phones.
Anything that steps up reception is a welcome change.
Hmm. Look no further than MacBook Pro keyboard. Three generations. Still suck when exposed to dust.Not sure what one has anything to do with the other
“bendgate” is a one word summary of an issue
They addressed it 6+ to 6s+ btw on the iPhone product line. I don't see why they wouldn't for this iPad Pro fiasco
You forgot the /sHave you been living under a rock?
The new iPad Pros are snapping in half like pop tarts...
I’m with you.Perhaps I'm NOT technical enough.
What exactly are the benefits ?
Performance means precisely what here ?
I'm assuming improved SNR, but I'm just guessing, I have NO real clue.
Kuo believes that LCP limits the RF performance of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR antennas due to current technology limitations and production issues. This puts the RF performance of MPI material at least on par with LCP, despite MPI being easier and cheaper to produce.
What is MPI, Modified-Pi isn't clear enough, you do explain LCP (Liquid crystal polymer) though.
I'm all for this. Maybe something wrong with my phone, but I often only have 1 bar, sometimes 2 in places I should be 3-5
iPad Pro had its own bendgate issue with bent iPads in the box. Part of the reason I’m waiting until fall to get a new iPad Pro, assuming they fix it.

My question is: if this tech is better, cheaper, & easier to manufacture- why are they expected to switch back by early 2020, only using this for like 6-9 months? Seems fishy.
What is it you’re expecting that would be really exciting? Part of that, is that there’s only so much technology/advancements Apple is going to introduce each year, such as Face ID, the next major revision will be the ‘triple lens camera’ this fall in all likeliness. In general, I would say consumers generally don’t really see/care for all the advancements that smart phones include today. There’s a much larger demographic on a site like this that follows Apple and care about iPhone upgrades , when the general consumer really pays only attention to the marketing Apple emphasizes on billboards/TV, etc.
Really? How many has your confirmed data indicated have snapped?Have you been living under a rock?

They're obviously talking about the iPad Pros...do you even read Macrumors or know anything about Apple?
Apple owns the premium market. Huawei’s sales of through the roof phones are not at the price point of Apple. (Or even Samsung Galaxy)I would care to see a notchless front design after 2 entire years, a flush back, and a true return to form of the SE size.
Also, look at what happens when you underestimate “the general consumer” in such a condescending manner. Huawei’s sales have gone through the roof in Q1, while Apple has sold 30 million devices less YOY, without even factoring in the P30 and S10 rollouts yet. Yes, it’s a saturated market and tech forum users may be extra demanding/jaded, but “newness” and innovation sell loads.

Paying $1000 every year for new iPhone is dead. I’m sticking with my X as long as it lasts!
For those wondering - like me - MPI is Modified Polyimide.
From what I can gather (I have designed antennas on LCP materials), I know there was a delivery problem with LCP for one major manufacturer as a sub-supplier stopped production of certain base materials.
LCP had good performance up to 77GHz IIRC.
I presume MPI may allow easier integration with flex-rigid designs - perhaps also better heat handling in solder phases and probably lower cost (for Apple profitz)
I am super bored of the new ipads!!!!!!!!!!!!!
