I know Apple is really high on AR/3D stuff but I don't know if this is the 'must' have upgrade they think people are clamoring for
LOL. as Someone who normally used to upgrade my phone every 2-3 years, I somehow bought the latest iphones in both 2017 and 2018.
Unless your phone is really old, why in the world would you need to upgrade your phone in 2019? 2020 will have all this, and 5G.
Anybody else noting that 2019 iphone sales will tank, big time?

If and when I upgrade you will be the first to know. My point, with a touch of sarcasm, is that it can't be good for Apple to have information about the 2020 iPhone coming out before the 2019 models is released. Of course that assumes this information in the article is accurate.Of course
Wait for 6G!
Your iPhone 7 has tons of life left in it, and it only costs $800 per year to keep it running on Verizon or Sprint, so why even contemplate an upgrade of any kind. Just keep spending hours telling everyone how you are never upgrading, but then secretly upgrade in February.
(sarcasm)
These ridiculously priced phones with feature-creap cameras will allow people to take even better photos to post on Instagram.
A giant lens would do you no good. The problem they need to overcome is sensor/pixel size. They need bigger sensors. The difference between a good Canon/Nikon/Sony SLR/mirrorless camera and an iPhone camera is more about the difference in sensor size than lens size.
Since that’s difficult to do in a phone, they computationally achieve similar results with multiple smaller sensors.

Video autofocus should be much improved. For example, if the subject is moving, the 3D depth perception will greatly assist focus lock.
Are people with the iPhone Upgrade Program still upgrading? I know I am.
Everyone's been saying this for years now, since the iPhone 7. And yet, the iPhone sales never really tanked "big time".
The 2019 iPhone will sell, just like the iPhone 8 did.
It does.
The laser is used to bounce off the object get true distance.
This isn't new.
This is something that was introduced on the LG G3 some 4 years ago.

No, the multiple cameras, not multiple ,menses are useful in depth perception and seeing the world in three dimensions.
If you are trying to take a picture a multi-element lens that can gather lots of light is best.
Way to bring up a bug that was quickly fixed and which nobody remembers even happened.
Looking more and more likely that I am going to skip the 2019 iPhone. I don't hate the 2019s but my XS Max is working fine and while I would use the wide angle camera, there just isn't enough (that we are aware of so far) to justify the upgrade. However, I am REALLY looking forward to the 2020s.
2019 iPhones: Same design, same cameras (one extra), same sensors, same displays, same lightning port, marginally speedier (no one notices), milking our loyal customers for nothing, $1200.
2020: Yup. That's the one we actually are working on!
2020: Yup. That's the one we actually are working on!
“Same design.” Because the “design” is just what it looks like on the outside?
Okay, sure.
There's no reason to ever buy anything at all, because by the time it hits the market, it's useless obsolete antiquated garbage already. That's the way the entire industry works. Intel is already designing chips that are going to be announced in 2021 and released in 2022. By the time Microsoft released Office 2019, a team was already working on Office 2022. Everything getting announced today is way way way obsolete already.
Don’t bother. I heard to 2021 iPhones are were it’s at.
Best to wait then buy the 2030 iPhones. They have some outstanding updates!
Animoji I understand, but why do you need Face ID for AR? The 3d camera should be on the back of the phone for AR.
Anyone else not giving a single **** about the 2019 iPhones? It seems like Apple really phoned it in looking at the rumors of the iPhone 11 looking like yet another camera spec bump like the "S" line.
The most boring thing about 2019 iPhones are the comments telling how 2019 iPhones are boring.
Maybe wait until they actually announce the device before claiming it’s ****.
What do you mean it’s about time? Pretty much all cellphones with ToF tech were released in 2019. You make it sound like all other brands have had this tech for the last couple of years... lol
