6.7'' is overkill. 2021 will be what the size of an iPad min display? Ridiculous.

Xs and 8 are effectively the same physical size
iPhone XS and iPhone 8 are effectively just about the exact same physical size, difference being 0.2" in height and 0.15" in width, that difference is imperceivable. However, you get a 5.8" screen vs. a 4.7" screen.
It's odd that I've gone straight from never having an iPhone for more than a year since the 3G through to the X, which I may end up keeping for four years if these predictions turn out true. At least I'll be £3000 better off for it, less maybe a battery replacement somewhere along the way.
I think it's a combination of price, lack of compelling reasons to upgrade, and maybe I'm just getting old(er) and less passionate about this stuff

Same here. Actually 2018 with the XS/XR launch was the first time I never upgraded, and my X still feels amazingly new. Knowing that 2020 is the year that will bring a bigger change makes me feel like holding off another year (kind of crazy to think after upgrading every year for a decade that I could hold onto the same iPhone for 3 years).
In exactly the same boat! And I get a free phone every two years from my employer and still saw no reason to upgrade my X. Honestly, see no reason to upgrade this year either.
i do because i don't care about 2019 models. i'm sure i'm not the only one.
I think a 5.4" iPhone would fit the bill as an SE replacement so long as its full screen, or as near as full screen as Apple can make it.
My only concern would be the size of that necessary notch for Face ID. The smaller the display the larger that notch becomes proportionately to the screen and the smaller the space they have left and right to fit things as they are now. It is this that makes me feel that there has been no smaller iPhone to date. The big question is when. People are getting tired of waiting and I stopped waiting for an SE2 last year which is the only reason why I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10 today.
6.7 inch OLED price $1999
You forget:
Leather case + screen protector $299
AppleCare+ (agreement only) $399
Base repair cost $199
Accidental damage repairs $499
Back replacement $999
Front and back replacement $1499
Above without AppleCare+ add $499 to each
But the more interesting question is:
How will the camera bump on the rear will look like in 2020 and beyond?
Every year is getting bigger and bigger
Nice, works for me. My wife thinks the XS is too big and I would love to have larger than my XS Max.
If true? The 5.4 inch (as long as top of the range) will be a god send, for too long there hasn't been a real choice in the size of the phones available, Apple have just lazily been following the Korean & Chineese trend of bigger is easier to make I will definetly upgrade if a 5.4 is available
Looking forward to the 5.4” iPhone with 5G. Could be the perfect size!
I think everyone's feeling that the 2019 iPhones are going to be the same iterative spec bumps to the iPhone lineup as the past few years have been. And while there are most likely going to 3 cameras on the back that ship has long sailed past from other manufacturers. Exactly what is there to be excited about?
Apple needs to not only catch up again but to also surpass a lot of great phones out there that come in at smaller price points. Not only that, they need to start competing in the mid-range price point as opposed to solely at the top end of the flagships. All their work in the services areas will come to naught of they lose their device sales.
The closer we get to this year's iPhone announcement, the further I lean towards keeping my iPhone X for another year. Since the rumored 2020 models seem like a real upgrade (5G, Qualcomm modems), I'm certainly not going to spend over a grand on a phone that I'll only keep for a year.
I highly doubt it and bet this years are more expensive than the current XS and XR versions
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease YES to the 5.4”.
Would be the first time in 3 years I would actually want to get a new iPhone!

I don't really have a problem with 6.7, as long as their is a real choice for sizes, if someone likes to walk about with a brick, that's their choice.....for me personally 5.4 is ideal

My girl friend has an XS, it's noticeably bigger than my 8! I think you are just quoting Apple spin when they launched the X....5.4 would be perfect! A real choice at last
Oh yes yes yes I want a smaller iPhone X
Presumably the 6.1 is the less expensive phone. If true, once again if you want the ‘old’ premium pricing, or you can’t handle oled, you’ve got a huge phone.
