Pixel 2XL is $849. You get a notch with the X and only a 45p benefit over the 8+. The camera is almost identical to the 8+. You have to pay for quick charge on iPhones rather than get something out of the box. iOS is the same UI since iOS 7 and doesn’t offer good screen real estate usage like Android.

Specs are worse outside the processor. More money less benefits. You can get more from a Pixel 2 than an iPhone 8. No iTunes, no $350- 400 price point needed for a LTE watch, no need to pay extra for a HomePod. You can get a weaker camera at $1000 than at $649 for a Pixel 2.

You don’t need Apple support to get a good mobile experience either. I am not spending $1000 to be tethered to an os that’s worse than Touchwiz/Samsung Experience. Wall garden at best and you have to subscribe to Apple limitations if you use their products.

I'll pass on jailbreak because Apple should include features out of the box. I still am dumbfounded how a big screen iPhone doesn't offer PiP mode or splitscreen multitasking. MR's iOS 12 speculative prediction further cements the idea iOS 12 will not be feature fledged.
I agree they should have more features out of the box definitely

Why are you on this forum?
 
Hi guys,

This isn't another fantasy "what do you want to see" thread rather what can we REALISTICALLY see next week?

I think new Macs across the board with moderate performance increases? (nothing too revolutionary performance wise?)?

I believe the rumoured Bezeless iPad is too much of a stretch and is a bit enough deal to have its own Event later in the year?

With Apples announcements they "will be focusing on ironing out the bugs with Software", is there anything really fascinating which we can assume will happen with the new OS'?

Judging by my own "as realistic as can be" predictions, I personally am preparing for very little hype this year..
A FEW bits of hardware but not as much as the annual September event. Mostly software and developers
