just noticing that the US version does not have any writing at all on the back. Picked up a phone in Europe and it has the CE and the battery disposal icon on the back.
 
Initially I was dissapointed that Midnight Green wasn't green enough. It looked even more subdued in a transparent case designed to show off the colour.

Then everything changed when a put the phone in a black case. The green pops now and although you can only see the camera bump, you can instantly tell that it's a midnight green 11 Pro. I'm super pleased!

This is a rather tangential comment but does anyone else get irrationally annoyed when they see others opening their iPhone boxes by shaking the box sideways and letting the phone drop out of the box into their hand (or worse, onto the table/concrete)? I feel like I've seen that too many times in my lifetime.

Oh man my stomach turns. Also when people take pictures of their phones lying on concrete/rocks etc with the phones naked. Grinds my gears!
 
Is it worth it? What are your hobbies that would make use of this? I thought about getting a gimbal just for fun and at this price that is not too bad.

This is my second one. I had the original osmo mobile. I like this one for its portability, and the portrait mode. Which will help with going live on IG. And posting some vids on YouTube. I also like taking vids of different attractions I go to. And makes filming a lot easier. If you’re shooting videos already. And want to produce smoother content. That will surprise some people that came from a phone. I definitely recommend picking up one. And hey, if you don’t like it. Which I don’t think you will. You could return it.

That thing really piqued my interest as well... but I don't want to be walking around like a Chinese tourist either... I bet the videos would be very smooth looking...

What case is this? I had one with that same texture that I used on my 4 and 4S waaaay back in the day and loved it.

Is is just me or does the XS suddenly look really dated? I mean it felt like the design was just polished a little bit for this year, but the 11 really looks a LOT more modern when they're side by side like that.

Completely agree. I was all set to hate this version of the iPhone after seeing all of the third-party pre-release renders, but I think the actual product looks fantastic and much more cohesive than last year's iteration. I especially like that it's a purpose-driven design.
 
I just love the matte finish of the Space Gray model.

I know I’ve posted this in other threads LOL but I got the (PRODUCT)RED 11 cause I really wanted a red phone but last night I saw the space gray and holy crap it’s amazing. I’m exchanging this week cause with the matte glass it reminds me of the slate gray iPhone 5 which was one of my favorite iPhones ever.

Sadly everyone else besides USA gets those ugly symbols. Hopefully within the next generation or two, they would get rid of them. What is their purpose exactly?

They are required to by local country laws.

Australian models also have no symbols.

US passed a law saying those regulatory symbols can be in software. I guess that isn't the case for our British and European friends.

I'm starting to feel the opposite, although, I haven't seen the Pro's in person yet. In photographs the the matte finish makes the phones seem almost aluminum, which naturally is a lot less flashier than regular glass.

Too, I didn't think I would mind but the iPhone being removed and the logo dropped seems to be too minimalistic to me. I'll formulate my final opinion once I've seen them in person.
 
Just picked up a midnight green max, happy I did. It looks more grey/blue than green.

Didn't see many pics of the Gold.... Green is my favorite color and was my original choice, but every where was out of stock and figured lots of people would end up with that color. Ended up with my second choice of gold and don't regret it! It's Beautiful, now just to get used to the Max size... coming from Space Gray X.
