What, really? There are people who are still using iPhone 6’s. Maybe you need to do a reset and start new. Sounds like something went wrong during an update or app installation. It shouldn’t be that bad already. My 8 Plus is running just fine.

You’re right - I should try “start new” maybe a file is being curropted with the restore

I’m just annoyed that I spent money for my iPhone X a year ago because it’s more “high end”. My iPhone X is so slow now and crashes a lot (screen will go black and will bring it back to the lock screen).


Also it’s so slow now too. It’s amazing how after a year it’s slower than the XR that’s so much less expensive. The higher end iPhone should have a different chip that’s even faster, so the phone is more future proof and can handle apps just as good as next generation base phones.

The higher end phones need to be more future proof!
They are to an extent of how far you can expect a mobile OS to push the considerable power of modern mobile chips but everything is beholden on how Apple feels about performance on anything that isn’t the newest product and how they feel about degraded performance from unoptimizabled OS updated driving upgrade sales.
 
Triple lens and the phone can't even photograph in stereoscopy -in times when VR is on the rise.
Meanwhile the XRs pictures are indistinguishable from those shot on the XS...

Yeah it’s definitely worth a try. Good luck. I hope it fixes whatever is messing up your phone. My friend is using her husband’s iPhone X after he bought the XS Max and she loves it. So I do think there’s a chance your phone can be made to work well again.
 
No, No, No, No, No!!! Is it so much to ask to bring that iPhone 5 design and iOS 6 design already???
 
At what point does it make more sense to have a larger single camera that can change its focal length and aperture? I mean we can't put 20 cameras on these things to suit every scenario etc

The added cost of three separate camera modules feels like a bit much for me personally.

That's a fair viewpoint, but not what I was addressing. The original post to which I responded said in essence that there was no advantage to multiple lenses, because a single lens phone such as the Google Pixel took better photos. Without debating whether the Pixel takes better photos, I pointed out that multiple lenses add a photographic feature rather than creating "better" photos per se.

That said, you're correct that diminishing returns become an issue as more lenses are added, and that there also are choices to be made with other features. I will happily use three lenses and know how to do so, but would I prefer a headphone jack if that were the choice? Yes, yes, I would. And that's not the only controversial choice Apple is making.
 
this will give a better depth in multiple dimensions
Exactly. In theory. Question is how much difference that makes practically.

More space between the cameras potentially improves depth measurement over long distance (which I think is what @simonmet ment), but causes issues at close distance, especially when shooting closeup/macro photos.

Although, in 2019 I would expect stereoscopy photo/video at ~75mm lens spacing. This makes a huge difference when looked at using a VR headset (or any device capable of stereoscopic image display).

Yeah .. that was my post lol - My point being most consumers don't care about the focal length stuff. They just want a better camera. And to them, better means, more vibrant (and as some research has shown that can mean unnatural colours). More detail in their photo (what people might refer to as sharpness) and better low-light performance.

People are mostly taking selfies and landscapes. They're not doing a lot of picture taking that needs different focal lengths because they don't know what a focal length means. They don't know about how it makes your subject look different etc

Google is winning the best camera race because they're focusing on what consumers are actually doing. Where as Apple seems to be chasing another horse entirely. I'm not sure what that horse is because in the past Apple hasn't been concerned with spec wars, they have been concerned with user enjoyment and satisfaction. But it seems Google is winning in that category by giving what some reviewers are calling "the best camera in your pocket".

My main concern is that the phone already starts at $999. These camera modules are not cheap and they keep adding more it's going to push the price ever higher. I'm already reluctant to buy at these prices if it gets to say $1250 or something I may never buy another iPhone. Having said that, I'm not suggesting my opinion is shared by others, this is all just how I personally feel about it.
 
truth is.... whatever the final design will look like and is pushed to the market.... YOU WILL STILL BUY IT!!!
 
I don't even care about the camera. The current cameras are fantastic. I just want USB-C and a smaller notch. (Or no notch, but that's probably just wishful thinking).

I guess it’s a fortunate thing then that google continues to be bad at hardware, and not many people are going to be willing to pay a premium for a great camera that happens to suck at being a decent smartphone.
 
Curious to why you think it's ugly.

looks like a mini electric/induction stove for a dollhouse:

the phone needs a case, the camerabump makes it look very unsymmetrical, heavy from the top corner... doesnt look like that some made a design at all but more or less it just came there from somewhere.
 
I'm curious to know how many of those complaining about the phone's naked appearance and bump on the back are currently using cases on their phones.

Am I the only guy who is happy that is we might get the triple lens camera on the smaller iPhone?
Because I hated what Apple did in iPhone 6, 6S, 7, 8 by giving more features to the plus version.
