I don’t know how you use your phone, but you probably do many things intensive enough. Like identifying your face in 1 second, all the processes behind taking a photo to make it look good, reading big PDFs... In many cases, it’s not only making things we do everyday faster, but also allowing new features by making them short enough.
Got a tip for us?

I feel the same way ... and I'm using a 6 Plus
So, apparently leakers are stating that the new phones WILL have 120hz display, but will be software disabled for some reason...
Ah yes, super bored with across the board improvements.
Nah, but at bare minimum the phone should have Touch ID. Its just laziness or refusal on Apple’s part to not have it in the iPhone.
With that being said I believe they will have it. Giving it to the air and nothing else this year would be a baffling choice by Apple.
get a flip phone for 60 bucks. Seems like a better investment. It even has bigger dial buttons
Unfortunately they won’t last for years to come if you don’t update the software. At which point 3D Touch and force touch will be gone from both devices.
Because the note uses a ****** first gen Qualcomm radio and android is too stupid to intelligently switch modes.
Most people don’t want to walk around carrying a camera with them when they need it.
Well, I like listening to music and watching tv shows and films on it. Cameras just seem to dominate the tech and could hold them back from doing other things with the space taken up by all those lenses.
The “older generation” walked around with Konica or Kodak cameras strung around their necks with rolls of ektachrome, and made us watch shows on their carousel slide projectors at social events. Nothing changes.
That is standard MR fringe member protocol.
Think iPhones now have reached their maturity a few years back. The updates now just seem pointless.
I'm going to be sticking with my Color [RED] iPhone 8 Plus for a very long time since it evades COVID masks and is simple and does all the same things the other iPhones do mostly, at least the things I need. When Tim Cook comes to his senses, maybe I'll think of upgrading, but I just don't see many advantages anymore with COVID.
If 8 g9 along with what you’re saying than I hope in the cellular options we have a toggle to stay on LTE no matter where we are. So the ability to turn it off or on would be the logical thing to implement
I think that touting 5G will be the main selling point for Apple this year. I highly doubt the camera is going to see a major improvement from the 11 Pro and outside of the slightly different form factor there doesn't seem to be much else to talk about besides 5G. Sure there will be processor improvements, but at this point the differences are so small its tough to really see a benefit from it.
Based on the amount of engagement on this article, reporting this has benefited them.
what do you expect? Hardware has its limitations. Unless they do a radical redesign such as what Microsoft and some of the other foldable phones this is what you should expect in the next few years.
Most of the innovation will need to happen on the software front in the short term, and iOS needs a reboot.
Phones are essentially all screen now. Nearly all phones from all manufacturers look virtually the same. What kind of design overhaul are you looking for?
Faster Face ID doesn’t mean crap in this mask wearing environment. I would rather have Touch ID built into the power button.
A smaller notch would be a great starting point. Or no notch at all for that matter.
I could totally imagine solving the no-touch-ID while wearing a mask issue with having face ID scan the forehead and using the apple watch to confirm the right person is holding the phone. I mean, I can unlock my Mac using the apple watch... you could totally roughly measure the distance to the watch via bluetooth signal strength and check whether the motion data of the phone and watch are similar.
I now have this mindset but my poor January 2019 XS battery health is at 88% and it sure seems to go fast. I got in the habit of always plugging it in at home and in the car and that seems to have had huge negative implications on my battery life. This is even with a (perceived) massive reduction in screentime thanks to being five months clean of Facebook.
