I'd gladly take "all the non-premium" in the iPhone 5 size. I only use my phone for basic tasks like sending messages or calling Ubers, and I want it to fit in my pocket. There's no way I'm alone.
Got a tip for us?

Only High-End 6.7-Inch iPhone 12 Pro Max Said to Get mmWave 5G

LOL. Like anyone can even take advantage of mmwave, particularly on a small phone.
Im not assuming this is fact or a done deal. I’m stating that if this rumor is correct, I will be disappointed. Does that work for you?
There are two different models of 6.1” iPhone, one is mid-tier (iPhone 12), the other is at the top of the line (iPhone 12 Pro). The Pro is rumored to be about $300 more than the regular model.
iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro seems to make sense to me. How would you prefer Apple name them, since you don’t like the word Pro?
For the 6.7”, there is only a top of the line model, iPhone 12 Pro Max. I guess you would like to rename it as well. Suggestions?
To be fair, those are planned well in advance and it was by chance that it dropped after he sold. Probably.Where's the Apple announcement? This is what people are waiting for.
Also, Apple stocks are down. No wonder Tim Cook cashed out last week.
AAPL stock drops nearly 6%, on track for its worst day since March - 9to5Mac
Apple stock is on its way to having its worst day since mid-March. Thus far today, AAPL is down nearly...9to5mac.com
Honestly. These days the premium features, Lidar, 5G, Wide angle camera aren't all that appealing and I really just want the cheapest phone right now.
It seemed like you were taking the rumor of the day, from an unvetted anonymous source, as fact.
I think I read too much into your post. My mistake, sorry about that 😬
Another long on ignorance, microscopically short on facts, post from you.
It would behove you to learn just how CEOs etc. leverage these stock sales: usually they’re planned for months in advance and one has to first notify the SEC of the sale under rule 144.
In this case they were sold under Rule 10b5-1 which is triggered when a certain price and volume conditions were met. This is a process designed to prevent people from taking advantage of insider knowledge.
In other words, the sale had nothing to do with knowing anything insider as you have accused.
In addition all tech stocks took a hammering on 9/3 - not just Apple.
Also, unsure why you’re all over this “where’s the announcement?”. It’s a rumor, a guess, an assumption. You know full well that Apple have yet to announce anything.

What we don’t know yet is will Apple’s version have better reception than the competition?
On my phone I'm using 3G most of the time, which is more than enough for social media, maps, Netflix and Youtube. But yeah, 5G must be awesome for ... I guess VR immersion? Any apps doing that yet, like bringing 20 people together making it seem like they are in one room despite being in 20 different locations?
Thought so.... so what's the rush?

I hope you can turn off mm wave if it’s that much of a battery hog and you don’t live in an area where mm wave is beneficial.
Such a non-issue really. As if one human being on the planet would notice a 200mbit vs a 1000mbit download on a PHONE. This isn't a workhorse computer. It's a phone. 4K doesn't need 5Gmmwave to function (and hint hint: the iphone screens barely do more than 1080p. So...)

Also, I do not really trust the first generation of 5G modems.
Not because of the implemented spec, but power consumption, switching protocols and so forth.
I will certainly wait until next year, my 4G phone plus WiFi works just fine.
I remember times, where I looked for tri-band gsm phones, that would work everywhere in the world. Then came the iPhone, which truly did.
Now we have this beancounter CEO who gives us crippled phones that only partially support of available protocols. And he gives them us a whole month too late.
Steve would have never allowed this.

You mean the Steve who shipped the iPhone without UMTS, in 2007?
I think he’s talking about that Steve Jobs guy who was famous for just adding alllll the features users ever wanted and never removing or omitting something for seemingly arbitrary reasons. Peace be upon him, etc.
