Olixar looks to have leaked two of the new iPhone colours...

If true, it looks like:

  • The camera bump will be integrated far more elegantly than the huge black squares some of the mock-ups have suggested.
  • The XR sucessor will indeed have two lenses.

The green looks awesome!

I’m sure you he camera bump won’t look as awful as it seems to look up to now on the mocks/leaks... we’ll be watching that keynote, they’ll finally get to the iPhone section and finally cut to the promo video showing off the phone and we’ll all fall in love then and there


Happens every damn year
 
I skipped last years, with my X, so I’m very excited this time round! I’m still saying to myself that I’ll decide after the keynote but we all know how that goes...

Weirdly, I’m most excited for a “max” upgrade, I miss having a larger phone.

#5Sleeps

5!

As per usual, I’ll be on my way home from work, will have to get the brats in bed and then sit down to watch the replay (hopefully by that time it will be available)

Phone will go on dnd, notifications off and will avoid the news. 2 hours of watching back the keynote and find that there’s been 50 more pages of comments on here to get through

For those on the iUP like myself, does anyone know how much money we will get refunded back from Apple Care if paying off the loan in full by selling our current iPhone elsewhere?

I have the XS Max currently. Not sure how much to expect back..

I had an XS Max which I sold last month, I got back like £110 or so.
 
Not long to go now. I wonder if Jony Ive will still do a voiceover at the keynote with a whole load of marketing nonsense about polished metal?

It will be about £10 for every month remaining on IUP. Remember it’s made of 20 months, so if you signed up to your IUP this time last year then you would have made 11 payments roughly so due £90 or so back
 
....so many case manufacturers releasing cases already, before the official reveal next week - I must must have seen half a dozen 'unboxings' on YouTube already from well known YouTubers!

Gone are the days when it was a truly a surprise on what the next iPhone would look like!!!:rolleyes::p

Yes, no more surprises anymore!

Given the first leaks around this time last year are pretty much accurate to the day!

No surprising given how wide impacting something as simple as a phone is to Apple and it’s suppliers business. No wonder you have analysts working full time looking at the supply chain and components manufactures for clues.

I’m sure those boys are heavily investing into these companies before they report the info publicly!

I'm just hoping that Apple's been playing us all along and then blows us away. Ok not gonna happen, but how good would it be if they started showing us the fairly 'meh' update we were all expecting then, 'but we don't wanna give you that..'
 
So what is everyone planning this year?

Do you know if you going to upgrade your Apple Watch and iPhone or are you waiting to see what the finalised upgrades will be?

I currently have the iPhone XS Max 256GB and Apple Watch S4. My plan is to upgrade both (providing they do release a new watch). I'm wondering if we will get an S5 or if the S4 will just be getting more material options on the case.
 
...personally, I really don't see the point of Apple releasing the 3 new iPhones this year?!

Other than the camera, they're barely any different to the current XS iPhones - heck, even the sizes aren't all that different to today's range. I can understand non XS owners wanting to upgrade, but XS owners really won't be getting anything new (and for the record - I've never upgraded from a numbered iPhone to the following year's 'S' model)......

My main reason for upgrading this year from the XS Max will be the camera upgrades. I have a young son and I always want the pictures I capture of our family trips/adventures to be the best they can be.

Yeah I’m on a X and usually upgrade every 2 years and skip the S, but it rumours are true this years does sound like it’s basically an XSS, which is why I’m intrigued to see how they market it as an 11, because I’m pretty sure making the camera better and making it abit faster is just an ‘S’ Upgrade, so there must be something else!?

I want to upgrade whilst I can still trade in my X for a good amount (and then do the same with the 11 in two years) but at the same time I’m not splashing 1000+ (minus the trade in difference) On a camera upgrade.

Also upgraded my watch from s2 to s4 last year so also don’t plan on touching that until next year

I probably won't upgrade my phone, I got an XS Max last year. I am looking to upgrade my Apple Watch series 2 Nike edition. I never know what I want for my birthday each year so everyone just gives me cash. I've got 2 years worth of cash plus I sold my old 2011 MacBook Pro to Apple trade in yesterday for £145 so I've got enough for the new watch as long as it's not stupid expensive.
 
I have an XR and S4 watch so I’m not going to bother this year. Interested in Apple’s Tile competitor though if the price is right.

Never been so unexcited for a new iPhone release and I've bought every model since release.

They better have done a good job with the keynote if they expect me to commit.
 
I sold my XS so I can upgrade to an 11 Max this year, I normally yo-yo between sizes most years. Upgraded every year since the iPhone 4. Not so excited this year but I am looking forward to a wide angle lens
 
I tell you what, selling your XS Max and then slumming it on an iPhone 7 for a few days makes you very excited about Tuesday's keynote.

I'm back to my iPhone 7 Plus (temporarily borrowed from the mother haha)

I'll be rocking this beauty from the middle of next week. At least it has snake!

Glad to see this thread back for another year... feeling underwhelmed again tbh

Still rocking a X having skipped the XS due to being... underwhelmed.

Agree with the post above about iPhone 11 feeling like a XSS... guess I’m used to a new design for a “Number” release.

Think Apple will need to show off some cool tricks to persuade me to give up my jailbroken X.

Roll on Tuesday
