50 bucks off the 11 compared to XR makes it go from 1.5-1.7 (XR) to 1-1.3 (11) times the monthly salary? How does that add up.
That $50 off is looking at US prices. Do you think iPhone prices in China line up 1:1 with prices in the US? Or that wages in China line up 1:1 with US wages?
 
hoping my i phone 11pro max 512GB in midnight green gets here on the 20th or sooner.
 
Something different from either white or dark shades would be nice for a change. The lower-end models always have these cool vibrant colors. I would love to see that on the high-end model(s) as well.
Except the XR had vibrant colors - the 11's new colors look like silver with a single drop of mint or lavender color added to the mix. Very faint. I loved the colors people were showing around as artist concepts when the new colors were merely a rumor - as vibrant as the XR just changing the hue.
 
The sole reason people want "green" is because it's new and will set their iPhone apart from the pack. People will see the green iPhone and gasp "wow what's that!? Is that new?" They feel like they will be trendsetters.
 
People buy iPhone 11 because of COLOR?
Or they buy it because they need a new phone, and they choose a color that appeals to them because they can. It might be a minor factor in pushing their decision past the tipping point. There probably aren't a lot of people saying, "I love my phone, it's perfect, but I must have that (barely) purple one."
 
I always buy the newest color. I don’t really care what color my iPhone is, though there are many who do.

I upgrade every year and sell my old devices. If it’s a new/different color I find they are much easier to sell used. That’s why I got my XS Max in gold.

They did drop prices. The iPhone 11 dropped $50. The watch now starts at $199. If you want the latest and greatest you have to pay for it. Sales numbers don't mean anything to them, its all about revenue.
This is how a free-market works - the higher priced phones are subsidizing the lower price models - luckily for Apple they have the highest number of people that can afford to pay or (overpay - if that's how some would like see it)

Or...people like green? If Apple made an iPhone in the dark purple the iPods used to be in I’d buy it in a second. I might be upgrading from my 6s this year, but if that purple was available I’d *definitely* be doing it.
 
This is why Apple doesn't need to innovate... throw in a few incremental improvements to the camera and add a new color... People will buy it and they cash in. Unreal
Features aren't innovation. Apple innovates and many people here just ignore it. Unreal.

You don't change the world every year, but Apple's done more to change it than most in technology.
Terrible video bokeh on the Note 10 isn't innovation.

Why would you even mind the color? The camera bump is so big now that you _need_ a case just to be able to set it on a table or counter top. I don't get how they get thicker and thicker but the camera sticks out even more?
I would love if Apple was stilled obsessed with making stuff thinner. For the record, I never complained when they made stuff thinner. I'd love to have something the thickness of iPhone 6 with no bump.

I think what apple do with the software is always innovation and what they have done hopefully with the camera could be groundbreaking...
 
Opting for the new green I think, but waiting to see what it looks like in person once the embargo is released.

{Oh, and far as all the negativity is concerned in this thread, I’m so glad I don’t have to surround myself around these type of people who are extremely negative, but I know it makes them feel better to vent on forums like this.:D}

I want an little bit smaller iPhone than the x , rumors suggest nest year that’s what’s happening but I will never get a big phone again like the 11 or xr
 
They're not even selling out at all.

Depends on the colour, market and model. iPhone 11 is similar to last years XS with a few differences at a lower price and new colours.

11 Pro, well that is a missed opportunity by Apple or just them delaying the inevitable to squeeze profits.

It would have been nice that the Pro model had 4 rear cameras, base 128GB storage and 6GB or more RAM (awaiting tear down). But this is Apple, what were people expecting.

Apple Watch 6 may receive micro-LED in 2020 considering the display it has been using has matured.

At present 2020 seems like the year to upgrade ones iPhone or AW. The OLED really needs a higher refresh rate the smearing of blacks is bothersome in my daily usage.
 
Green is to appease Asia markets since it's associated with jade. To the rest of the world the color options are boring to barfy.

You forgot to add "In my not so humble opinion". Lots of folks who don't like the new colors sure are vocal. Me, I bought the midnight green, so that's all I have to say to that.

Welcome to 2019 everybody.

It might be paranoid, but nobody can tell until after Several months or so.
You are one of several people who took this away from an article where it doesn’t actually say that.
 
I am a Henry Ford follower but Kuo is almost flawless in these types of predictions.

These aren't even predictions, he probably knows the numbers being ordered to Chinese factories.

Agreed. He ain't no analyst. He's not analyzing anything. He should just really be called an insider or a spy.
