I'm so sad I won't have the latest phone anymore. Time to shell out $1200 on a new phone!!!! So excited.
6 months? Sheesh, you are obscenely optimistic about 5G rollout.
I have 7 and will patiently wait until Apple comes up with a new iPhone of the same size and weight or smaller. The rumoured updated 8 or that new 5,4” iPhone would be my prime upgrade candidates. This year nothing looks particularly appealing, though.
My X is not really different than my 6 was in physical size. Close enough that I don't really notice the difference, but it's got huge amounts of more screen in comparison.
However, that doesn't really fit the 'around $500' concern. Between Apple upping their prices last year and my carrier dropping subsidized phones for "easy payment" phones, I think my usual 3 year upgrade cycle is getting extended to 4 or 5 years.
It's merely being observed, as it should be. Nothing at all about being freaked out, people are dead. We still observe the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, so don't expect anything in your lifetime to change.
Pre-publicity. Warming up the audience. They do it every year.
That’s literally what the X was a larger screen in a smaller form factor
5G on a phone is useless. Signals don't travel as far. That kind of speed on a phone is unnecessary at this point in time. And the rollout is going very slow and plagued with issues. Even a year from now it still won't be in many locations.
LTE is capable of speeds faster than most peoples home internet.
It's more important for other applications. Don't get sucked in to the hype.

So they're going all Intel again this year? (commenting based on earlier comments in this thread)
I guess the more I think about it, they'd have to, since the Qualcomm situation was only recently resolved... I'm not a fan of the Intel modems either, it's a noticeable difference between my Xr and my wife's 8; in both signal and idle battery life when all it's doing is holding a connection.

So..... does this mean they kept the notch or is the cutout on top of the screenshot just to fool us into thinking they kept the notch?
sadly not according to apple it's not, so i fear that 2020 might not be that great either as it has every change of being the 2019S model...
I would love to see a pool asking: Are you buying the 2019 iPhones if you have an X or XS?
X: No
X: Yes
XS: Yes
XS: No
IUP: Yes
X: No
X: Yes
XS: Yes
XS: No
IUP: Yes
...Last week's Wednesday, September 12 event was an anomaly...
Hmm it really didn't feel that long ago when I got my XS Max. Not just me apparently!
Lol ok buddy, sounds like you got it figured, so maybe you are in the wrong website?...
I agree!! I was experiencing the same issue last night in a Taco Bell parking lot lol
