Gonna try my hardest to hold onto my XS Max until next September but I just know when April arrives, and I can’t upgrade via the iUP, I’ll end up getting the 11PM

I have an Xs max now, it runs really smooth so it should be easy to hold on like me :). I was looking forward to 2020 iPhones even during the keynote this year
 
I'm reeeeally struggling to hold out... I have an XR and even though the 11 isn't THAT different, I really want it, but I cannot justify spending £780 for a better camera.

Gonna try my very hardest to hold out until next year, knowing my luck it will just be the same phone again but with a third camera o_O

It's a sickness I tells ya!
 
Facts. Apple has to knock this one out the park. That notch can't be there four years in a row. I'm surprised so many people got sucked into the better camera trick this year. Apple is still behind on a lot.
 
If it is in any way smaller and lighter than the 11 Pro I will definitely get rid of mine and get the new one.

Kuo says it's shrinking to 5.4 next year so you're in luck, while the Max is supposed to be getting bigger and the base model remains the same size. I guess to differentiate between them a little more size wise. Apple was very smart to make the "smaller" phone a pro feature.
 
Waiting for the next iPhone even if i bought the ip 11 pro (5.8)

- 5G all in one chip (QC modem)
- promotion
- slimmer bezels
- smaller notch
- 5nm chip
-

Why do you want 5g?
Why do you want promotion?
Are the current bezels too big, they did slim them down a lot.
Smaller notch sure, but you honestly only notice it when you think about it.
You want a 5nm chip? Really? Why?
 
And then next year when none of this stuff happens you’ll have the same people holding onto their 6s’ and 7s for another year because “next year will be the big upgrade with a whole new design (wut?) and 5G connectivity!”.

You’re always going to be behind in tech if you’re always waiting for the next best thing.

Same here. I like the 5.4" report panel screen.
IF it comes with ProMotion, then that is a game changer - it's something that the X should have had been honest from day one.
USB-C could be handy too.
What benefit does ProMotion bring to a screen size such as that of an iPhone?
 
The new iPhone 11 Pro has USB-C. Just with a lighting connector at one end of the cable. As long as it can give the full speed of USB-C I don't see the problem. Wouldn't putting a USB-C port in the iPhone make it thicker? Thicker is the very thing Apple is hell bent against.

5.4 and 6.7 would be a bad move. They should have a size in the middle. 5.4 may seem too small and 6.7 too big.
 
Why do you want USB C?

To charge every device with the same cable. It is very convenient.
Just seems weird to hold on to lightning, when the iPad and Macbook are using USB-C now...
And also nice when you visit someone or someone visits you and everyone just uses the same cable to charge. Or at work.
