Definitely feeling some schadenfreude toward those complaining about the 2020 XS potentially going smaller to 5.4" after seeing people constantly say "boo hoo people don't like small phones anymore" or "just get the SE." It's still bigger than I'd like, 5" would be just about perfect, but I'll take it. If people want a monstrosity of a phone, get the 2020 XS Max. This news definitely solidifies my plan of holding onto my 8 for a third year.

And that rumoured iPhone 8 refresh in 2020 for people liking smaller screens is still on?

Yes to anything with the iPhone body dimensions not exceeding those of iPhones 6-8! I guess they could fit 5” in them by removing the bezels?

My Tiny hands also approve. Would be much better differenciation in the sizes if it were just a little more compact... so long as battery life doesn't suffer.
This, where's the middle ground when I'm already used to my X's size? Would be really stupid to make me go up an entire inch or down almost half.
Can't really see USB-C happening on the iPhone. There's just no reason other than compatibility with chargers for iPadPros and MacBooks, which is a very tiny portion of the iPhone customer base.
No a long way to go to get it down to a 4.7" display that would fit inside an SE-sized case per the below graphic.
Yes, and the iPhone X is about the size of the iPhone 7.
I actually do but realize I’m probably in the minority. Planning on hanging on to my phone till next year.
If the screen is smaller and faceID goes under the screen, the device's physical dimension will be smaller then, no?
I’ve not caught up on this thread yet so my apologies if this has already been pointed out but it may still be possible for you to use an OLED display that uses pwm if Apple stops doing their little patented process that slows burn in. I think that’s what may be making us sick. To my surprise I find I can use OLED displays just fine. But whenever a manufacturer like Samsung, does some tweaks, I run into difficulty with looking at the display. I’m not able to get more specific about what these tweaks are and what they do because the few rare mentions I’ve come across aren’t very informative. I just wanted to say whatever it is that is extremely problematic with the Apple OLED displays is not likely standard pwm alone.
I struggle to understand why this phone is so desirable in this community. I don't think anyone cares about it outside these forum boards. If that thing was popular, Apple would had to make sure it is produced.
The iPhone 8 and the X/XS are essentially the same physical size with a much bigger screen...
I do. Pretty much this years is that square camera and a spec bump. My XS is still going strong and this years iPhone doesn’t wow me enough to upgrade. I’m looking to Next year for sure though.
That was perhaps my plan, getting a new iPhone in 2020 to replace my 2016 iPhone 7 Plus, but my considerations were the XR replacement vs the Max replacement.
Because none of the 2019 iPhones will likely have 5G, I probably won't be buying.
If the 2020 XR replacement doesn't have 5G, I probably won't be buying.
If the 2020 Max replacement doesn't have a decent price structure, I probably won't be buying.
However, my 7 Plus is getting long in the tooth. Here's hoping the 2020 iPhone Max is more decently priced, or else gets 128 GB at the entry level (although I doubt it).
Not really. The XS has a bigger footprint than the iPhone 8 both in terms of width and height. The hypothetical 5.4" iPhone would be closer in size to the iPhone 8, but a bit smaller than the iPhone 8 in height with a similar width.
Amen. I’d rather Apple used the higher ppi count screen of the 8 plus screen upgraded to a ‘Super Retina 2’ than a OLED with PWM.

I wonder if the current XR will stick around to compete at the (high) mid-end?
Unfortunately Apple has a track record competing at the mid-end by simply price cutting older models.
Fortunately the XR is pretty great and it still will be later this year.
5.4" screen on a smaller iPhone would mean that the notch size (or at least the width) will be reduced.
I could see the appeal of a small/cheaper phone but the last time tried it, it was a total struggle. I had a loaner SE from my employer and the small screen its a real struggle (keyboard, mail/messages app, safari, etc)
I guess if I work hard and show ambition I might make it up the ladder to assistant night time manager and be able to off set this premium. One can only hope that they aren't still stuck in todays reality that far down the line.

I'd like USB-C, but OLED tech is still dealing with burn-in.
I'm starting to see it on my Note8, and I do not leave that thing on for extended periods.
The burn in relates to how Waze displays on my screen, and I only use that for daily commute.
LCDs do not have this problem, so hopefully Apple will continue to offer the Xr in LCD form.

I'm talking about Kuo giving us more details such as any leaked colors, battery capacity, possible resolution increase, higher refresh rate, etc.. etc.. I am aware that a triple camera iPhone is on its way.
