Why do all the news outlets keep saying 'Smart Connector?' That looks nothing like a Smart Connector. It looks like the Magnetic Connector that the Apple Pencil connects to.
Pencil Mini OTW?

exactly and its not like the internet now is turtle slow, it is quick with the present 4g or lte, the 5g is not necessary for now, will rather have the 5g gone to save battery life and price.
To all posters asking about battery life this may be of interest. Not now, but in the future. https://www.pocket-lint.com/gadgets...ds-last-months-and-power-over-the-air.amphtml
I don't know what's supposedly revolutionary about the design, it's just a larger more rounded iPhone 5.
Agreed, the iPhone 4s was by far my favorite iPhone of all. Now this!! I’m stoked.😛
I like the flat box frame design because it's easier to hold, the rounded frame is just slippery.
Agreed if you're not a phone case user. But if you are, the bump makes no difference.
I average 110 MB on my ProMax in my area through Verizon. That’s pretty damn good. I have 800MB service at home. I am satisfied.
Possibly a reason for the change in screen size from 5.8" to 5.4" is to have a display size that is 18:9 aspect ratio vice 19.5:9 ratio, same maybe for the 6.5" to 6.7". It is weird to display videos to cover the display and have the top and bottom chopped due to the odd aspect ratio, glad it maybe addressed. Notch getting smaller in whichever direction is also a positive.
Now if Apple can figure out how to have the stereo speakers both firing forward instead of one firing downwards would improve on the symmetry of the device. Some android handsets have accomplished this small task while Apple, we are waiting.

iPhone 4 design was used with the last updated iPhone SE in 2016 and retired the size in 2020. With the new SE adopting the iPhone 6 design expect this to last for another 4 years, but hopefully not. iPhone X design has been on its third revision but in actuality it's a slight modification from the iPhone 6 design language, not much has changed with this design for six years. I believe a redesign is welcomed and most agree the squared off design is a classic and easier to hold.

I believe there was a rumour awhile ago that iOS14 may have a restore function similar to what macOS has had for years. If that is the case the reason to have USB-C or any physical port decreases. Apple really needs to include Qi 15W charging vice the present Qi 7.5-10W. If practicality matters to Apple they would release phones and computers where user would be able to repair their own device. USB-C would be nice, but not needed.
In your defence and support, one is limited to phone usage while using a wireless charger. On the flip side maybe keeping ones phone down might be better to ease societies addiction.

I feel the same way, maybe the device is getting larger to accommodate for an
Pencil 2 Mini. But it would be odd to have something attached on the side of a device that is stored in a pocket or held in a hand. Maybe its TouchID, however why not incorporate it into the power button, save space and keep the design clean.[automerge]1587188786[/automerge]
Will phones even exist the way we know it as present in 2040.

they would have used the space before in the notch for larger speakers
but the next iPhones will get two speaker source so it will make it even or close to twice louder
Barring any technical challenges with FaceID initial tech, I wonder why the speaker could not be moved to the very edge/rim over the notch, this would have reduced the dimension of the notch day 1. Add another speaker to the bottom where the lightening connector is, also on the edge/rim but that might be cramped for the lightening connector housing.
Apple Engineers really need to figure a better solution.
For Apple, It's a stupidity to do any reduction when it can be removed from the screen and move to the top bezel.
It’s funny how this looks more like the old iPhones just as the first SE gets replaced by a form factor that no one asked for while the non max iPhone 11 Pro is actually the smallest phone in the lineup.
i guess Apple is checking how many of the customers of the old SE are willing to dish out 1000€ for a small phone Closer to the classic 5s form factor.

Ok now I am happy to spend €1150 on this phone when it comes out. Finally we are going to good design language and leaving the rounded characterless mess that they've been shoving down our throats since 2014. If this comes out, I guess I will have to finally switch from my iPhone 8.
Looks good and I like it, even if I’m not sure if such a sharp edges design would be comfortable on a rather big device to be held with one hand 🤔

Which is fine to me, since iPhone 11 Pro are already excellent in that regard.
[automerge]1587204552[/automerge]
Definitely not. I don’t want a brick.

You are being overly optimistic. With 5G and an high refresh rate it will be a good result if they maintain the same level of iPhone 11.
[automerge]1587205072[/automerge]
If you add 5G and 120 Hz to the mix, I strongly suspect we won’t see any improvement in battery life.

They are doing the opposite of what Steve Jobs likes in making insanely great products and disrespected the legacy with a notch screen design on the iPhone.

Agreed if battery stays the same that’s fine with 5G 120hz
