Honestly I don't care that much about the release date. Just announce the iPhone & Apple Watch so we can stop with all of these rumors. They are all over the place this year.

All the dozens of people that might actually use the feature can rest assured they’ll be able to get it less than a year from when these phones launch.
The rest of the crybabies that are just upset they won’t have the spec on the side of the box can also revel in getting one in the same timeframe.

Can't wait to see the lineup with the rumours about this and the LiDAR sensor!

It’s Call marketing Sales tactics 101. That’s what Apple does in terms to create a separation of features to sell the most expensive device (By the way, it’s a commonality of all tech companies). What would you expect them to do? Sell phones that all have the same features? They would never be able to sell their larger phone, if consumers didn’t have the price point option of having all the same features.
It’s even more disappointing when you realize the competition has been selling sub-6 phones priced under $250 for over 6 months.
Of course, I am on AT&T so I probably won't see the full benefit.
What do you mean? You have 5G(e) now! Haha
I would expect the two Pro phones to have the same features.
I mean, it’s like that for a lot of electronics and products in general Lol. Bigger device = more space for other things (not always of course). It’s just business at the end of the day. They want to have low-mid-high tiers with obvious differences.
I couldn’t care less about 5mm Wave 5G, and I don’t understand why it’s being pushed so hard.
The U.S. was mentioned as having the infrastructure for it. Does it? I haven’t heard anything about mass deployment of mm Wave. Maybe if you live in the cities- if you live in the suburbs, forget it. It’s a technology that a minority of people are going to experience.
Forget that. Should there only be one model of car and one style of house too?
People are different and have a wide range of different needs. There's no one-size fits all.
Very true. Look at TVs. Only the largest size carry the top features. Even the 65" don't have all the top features when you look at high-end models from Sony and others. You have to go to the 75" and 85" in order to get all of the top features.
I know you might have been sarcastic, but just in case: You know he doesn't make his own decision to sell, right? That would be insider trading. Insiders have scheduled stock movements that occur without individual control.
I don't care about mmWave 5G, butI do care about the sub 6MHz 5G. I have T-Mobile and I have 1-2 bars in my house. And there is 5G coverage here now that can penetrate walls better and much better coverage, so as long as the new iPhone support that I'll be happy.
Anyone have any educated guesses on battery life with a 5G iPhone? FWIW, I had the iPhone 5 and sometimes switched off the then-new LTE option to make it through the day
Not the same cameras. Only the 6.7” model will have image stabilization on the ultrawide lens.
Those still on the original iPhone, AT&T Unlimited plan will likely have to upgrade. I don't see AT&T giving those folks 5G as part of that old package.
If the pro devices are basically divided into a sub-par pro-device and a pro-pro-device to get the full spectrum of pro features, this whole shenanigan becomes more and more ridiculous.
