I’m more excited about everything other than the iPhone 11 this year. I want to hear about the new Apple TV, iPad Pros, MacBook Pros, and even Apple Arcade.
Got a tip for us?

I will keep my iPhone X, and get one next year.
Great year to sit this one out. Perhaps a marginal upgrade to iPhone X and older users with the camera upgrades. Most of the excitement this year will be around new Apple TV hardware since my ATV4 is getting long in the tooth and the new iPad Pros. Wife uses a 12.9 1st Gen for most of her photo editing and it’s beginning to show some age.
It's hilarious to watch the amount of people who jump on anything that Ming says, and take it as more than speculation and then think the sky is falling because something may or may not be.
Shame. Bilateral charging would’ve been great when travelling, no need to bring a separate Apple Watch charger. Pretty disappointed if this is true, hope there’s some other features which haven’t been rumoured or it’s going to be pretty lacklustre.

You should fix the problem!
Apple purposefully withholds and stifles technology and innovation. They are a terribly managed company and have been since Crook took over.
Didn't Blockbuster say something similar about Netflix?
Time to show Tim Apple the door. Apple needs an infusion of external leadership. The internal culture has become dysfunctional. Q1 is going to be in the dumps. 
My prediction:
By this time tomorrow half of MR readers will be happy and the other half will be angry.

2-way wireless charging. You can charge the phone with a wireless charger, which has been a thing since the X/8. You will (when they sort it and release it) also be able to use the iPhone to charge to other items, such as the airpods wireless charging case. Yes, the phone needs to be face down, and the item being charged placed on the back. I had a Galaxy S10+ for a few months and tried the feature there, it was quite slow, not something I'd want to use, unless I really needed to, which I think is the main use, when you're out of options and really need a top up.
For me (and I assume many other people) the biggest draw here would be eliminating the need to travel with a separate charger just for the watch. If I could just plug in my phone at night and rest my watch on top of it, that would be amazing.
Hmm... No mention of memory.
iPhone 11 appears to be 4 GB.
iPhone Pros 4 GB or 6 GB?

No. Next year is 5G. It will likely come with some form factor change, with perhaps USB-C.
Damn, I'm on the iPhone Upgrade Program and I might just hang onto mine and wait for 2020... Assuming this is all correct and not much else.. kinda weak tbh.
I must be getting older, the iPhone releases just aren’t the same as they used to be for some reason.
Unless Samsung improved bilateral charging on the Note 10, it's still a waste. I've heard from many people that it's terrible on the S10. It absolutely nukes your battery life. So the iPhone not having it, while disappointing, is not a big deal IMO.
Can't wait to see to the camera upgrades though. The iPhone needs it badly. Hopefully FaceID gets some improvements too. Cause now the Pixel 4 will have it, it needs some improvements to make it stand out. Heck, I'm actually forward to the Pixel. It's looking really good this year!

I got excited thinking last minute we are getting USB-C. But I guess not 
If you're on the upgrade program, or even a carrier plan that allows you to upgrade every year, it makes sense to upgrade, to take advantage of it. I might do that this year. Probably go through AT&T Next if I don't feel like getting Apple Care
Yeah right. You know the first 15 minutes will be nothing but prideful boasting about how many XRs have been sold since its launch. Another 5 minutes spent on the wild success of Apple Music and how many subscribers we’re currently up to. And then another good 15-20 minutes on more new and exciting news about AppleTV+.
Don’t underestimate Tim.
Looking back to admire stuff is fine. But you should look into the future too. What will the brightest of the brightest bring in the next 12 years? Let the imagination lead the way.
