My iPhone 6s is about to get its fourth major update....the only thing I have noticed in those updates was about 18 months ago when it basically was crawling (throttled). That was a great update! Aside from that, I cannot tell a single thing that looks or behaves differently since the day I purchased it.

On vacation before the iPhone Pro Cameras. Would I buy the phone for the camera, yes. FYI I would save a bundle and get impressive photos.

Oh yeah. MacRumors knows how to troll their audience.
....and yet one of the highlights of this weeks keynote was a “slowfie” affect? Really...all those android users must be crying in their beer missing out on that.

I mean, in 12 months, Apple sold 215M phones at an average of $760/each. So for Apple, their average phone is $760...those are real numbers. Samsung refuses to break them out, but I can tell you from Samsung's overall earnings that they don't do close to $166B in phone revenue in 12 months, like Apple did. You certainly agree Samsung's ASP isn't $760, right? It's mathematically impossible based on Samsung's earnings.Which iPhone? Lumping them all together? Got numbers for iPhone Pro Max vs Note 10+ ?
[doublepost=1568401482][/doublepost]Apple's bokeh is so broken it can't even get enough working images to fill a website advert and puts up this garbage:
https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/
Projections for the Note 10 are around 10M units and the Galaxy line is around 40-50M units.
I agree that picture isn't perfect, but let's see the same pic exact for Samsung. There are examples of bad pictures for Samsung too...even their most recent commercial shows imperfect bokeh in their video bokeh demonstration.
The hair is challenging for sure. I don't think there is anyone that can say Samsung definitely has better picture quality than Apple and certainly not video. Apple is consistently among the leaders in camera quality and I see this year being no different.

Garbage? What’s wrong with that image? Looks amazing. Are you talking about those blurry hair edges? If you are, it’s not fault that’s exactly how they wanted it to be. They want you to look the face of woman smiling and it should make you feel happy. It’s basic marketing. That’s why they blurred the hair to make it more soft and not distracting and point your eyes to right place.

Right and the original post questioned who is copying who with the bokeh, as many here like to discuss that sort of thing. Apple has dynamic hdr in video and Samsung has bokeh. Apple has had both in photographs.
Blurry hair on the right, blurry hair on the left, bokeh on the building on the left is a complete disaster and distracts from the subject.
This image is completely unusable. How did Apple let it get published on their website? Standards in freefall throughout the company.

Well will find some imperfection in Samsung’s photo and then call those photos garbage also. Easy-peasy to sling the mud. Guessing it’s garbage because Samsung’s is worse.Which iPhone? Lumping them all together? Got numbers for iPhone Pro Max vs Note 10+ ?

So on Samsungs website alone they are currently selling 226 smartphones.
By the quantity of options they should be selling a lot of phones.
People don’t like it because it’s very bad, here’s example
I can’t really see anyone using that for real. And i can’t seriously believe Samsung released that for public

Apple will do it second, but have a better implementation.

I really wonder why Apple didn't add Apple Pencil support... doesn't hurt nobody not using it, and could have made a couple of hundred millions $ from selling pencils. Now ProCreate Pocket customers need to resort to Wacom and Adonit
Rumor is iPhone 11 Pro has the hardware for pencil support AND bilateral wireless charging but is software disabled. Reasons is iOS13 wasn't ready for Apple Pencil on the phone and may come later this year. The bilateral wireless charging they are waiting for the new Airpods to be released for Xmas and the charging will be a selling point. Also, they want Apple Tile to be ready and add UWB to the Airpods too, so if you lose them, you can find them.

Brokah , you made me spit up my coffee
What's the reasoning for the new AirPods? The current ones already have a wireless charging case.

Please tag me if you find a garbage image on Samsung's website
P.S. I don't think Samsung's bokeh will be perfect either, I'm just shocked Apple posted that image on their website as if they couldn't notice it was garbage.

I seem to remember 'Bokeh' being one of the big buzzwords during last year's iPhone XS/XS Max reveal. I had never heard of 'Bokeh' and even though I have an XS Max I can't say I've ever knowingly used the feature once, much less thought about it since then, and certainly did not get the phone for it.
Not saying others aren't interested in Bokeh effects, but I think this is kind of a 'too little/too late' weak sauce feature from Samsung that isn't really going to convert all that many folks.

Total fail. I didn't sense a shortcoming in my iPhone X let alone a new Pro after watching that
Samsung basically copied Huawei. The P30 and P30 Pro already did this before the Note 10. And they’re less expensive as well.

It's a fundamental effect in photography and videography. So far Apple managed to implement the same effect only for still photos (portrait mode). They are rumored to add ToF sensor to iPhones next year, so you'll probably get this cheesy effect next year.

Yeahhh. The iPhone notch is just... bad. Once I saw it, I said that I've never buy a phone with a notch until this trend is over. Since Apple is perfectly content with selling the same phone for the third year in a row (again), I'm thankful that least other manufacturers have moved on so that we all have some options sans notch.
Do you think the under-display cameras are coming next year?
