Although rumours are interesting (and thats why we come to marrumors), I am not sure what purpose it serves to leak details just 2/3 hours of the keynote.

Apple should just cancel the keynote and ask these people to take the stage.
 
64GB for the Xs models is a slap to our face...

Depends on the price. I think it will have the same price as iPhone 8+, expensive but not as iPhone X.
Xr can start at iPhone 8's price point, have 64GB than have 128 and 256.
If those are the prices Xs will be the model I'll buy, same price as my 8+ with a new SoC, better camera etc.
If Xs starts at iPhone X's price point then I don't know what to do, I don't feel like spending so much for a phone. I may go for the Xr or keep my 8+ for a while
 
Same! But 128GB should be the base at least.
If 128 is the base option MOST people wont ever upgrade and apple loses 150$ extra from millions of people.

Personally I think this is shady and apple knows exactly what they are doing to get more money out of people.

good business practice but for loyal customers this should leave a bad taste in their mouth.

Good business's keep their customers happy. apple is not doing that with this whatsoever. two years in a row now
If they offered the 256 for 100$ more id be a little happier. 150$ more on top of a grand is ridiculous.

As a business are you ok with losing 150 million dollars worth of revenue for a million upsells?

The new naming convention makes me cringe. Wonder how much the base memory largest screen size OLED phone will cost.

And on the other end of the spectrum... there will be people who can finally get 512GB![/QUOTE]
Like me. I have been wanting 512 GB. 256 is ancient.

Remember how long it took Apple to ditch 16GB entry level? This isn’t nearly that bad and let’s hope it doesn’t get there again.
Its worse IMO because apple has offered 128 gig phones year past so they are capable of delivering it. But they choose not to just to milk people out on more money because they know they will spend 150$ more to get more storage even though most people dont need 256.
 
Yes like wtf. Why couldn’t they just call it the iPhone... I’m going to stick with my 256gb iPhone X another year, I had purchased Apple care plus so I might as well.

If I owned an X, I would've kept it for at least 2-3 years. But who knows? You may get a nice trade in deal. Some people managed to get $700+ for their 64gb iPhone X, so it would chalk up to about $300 in usage, which isn't bad for almost a year's worth of usage.

But given you have the full works, 256gb w/ Apple Care Plus? Doubt you'll get your $s worth. But fear not as the policy does have a pro-rated refund.

I had it on my iPhone 6s Plus years ago. I took it off after people wouldn't pay for my phone. Sold it after w/o Apple Care.
 
I may be part of the minority but the storage options finally look decent to me. I always approach upgrade cycles as, "is this worth it?" If I can't answer a definite yes, I buy AAPL instead.

This has me sitting on a iPhone 6 still and I now feel like the storage is finally in line and pricing for the regular customer. To me, Apple Music and such help people not need the full blown storage options. While I use Apple Music, I still store all my "favorite and must have music" on my phone.

I honestly don't see what people need 256gb/512gb in a phone? I create content too and the only thing I can think of is the people that never delete anything. That falls under the Apple services side as well with iCloud.

You mean you don't want to watch all the new amazing things the new iPhone can do and a performance by U2?

Really suk .. that everything is leak out before event start , all exited over :D
you're the one that came to a rumor site lets be real here.
The average person doesnt know anything that doesnt go searching for things...
 
The XR reminds me a little of the iPhone C with all the color options. Will be the entry level iPhone for sure.
So the R means Rookie?
Don't like the naming at all.

Would be nicer to have just iPhone names like Mac OS X Names. iPhone X Mojave & X Mojave Pro -> everyone just knows when it came out, if its the same naming as on OS X. Or just kill the X completely. iPad doesn't have any number. It's just iPad and iPad pro. Use iPhone & iPhone Pro. Only difference is the year.
