Resolved What do you want for "iPhone 2019" Flagship

[Brien]

ProMotion and Pencil support.

 

[BigMcGuire]

I want it to not be a huge improvement over the 512 max I’ve preordered so I can keep it for two years this time like I was hoping and planning on doing to my 8+.

Usb c. Monitor output with full HID support. Breakthrough battery longevity. All this would make me upgrade.

 

[m0sher]

5G (if it’s even widely supported by carriers)

USB-C and cord in box!
2560x1900 resolution display (phones are not ready for 4K IMO)

Most Importantly, a faster embedded cellular modem than Qualcomm’s X20 LTE. Please Intel, why is this so hard? Please Apple, work out a deal with Qualcomm if Intel can’t come to the game to play ball.

Samesungs brand new flagship phone is beat out by a 3 year old iPhone.

I am disgusted at Apple this year, no new features, just a faster cpu, it seem like they ran out of ideas.

I mean XS price is just stupid, the XR is a rip off with the lcd display, the Max is just disappointing...
No Pro Motion, no new improvements to the Face ID, just feel like they are dumping their excess iPhone X screens.

Also the battery life is a total joke, nothing new, no fast charging out of the box, Samsung is literally ahead of the hardware game and iOS is slowly becoming futile.

 

[JayIsAwesome]

1) Pro Motion display

2) New camera system, with 3X optical zoom with HDR video recording.

3) Higher resolution display

4) No notch or atleast a significantly smaller one.

5) Even less bezels

6) Dolby Atmos

 

[FFR]

Doesn’t look good for 5g handsets just yet.

In My opinion, phones have so much technology now and every year Apple adds more technology, I feel like most consumers can never fully appreciate all the technology the iPhone has to offer. I know we can all make wish list(s) of what we want, but I feel like not everyone will ever take full advantage of what the iPhone can offer in terms of technology. For the record, the iPhone has way more than I would ever anticipated 10 years ago, so I really don’t have anything specific I want to see, as I think it has everything I need for my daily tasks, where I can enjoy the iPhone experience.

"Huawei P20 Pro"-like sized 1/1.7" (pixel size 1.55nm) camera sensor compared to the present 1/2,6" (Galaxy S9/iPhone XS and XR) or 1/2,9" (iPhone X).

 

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

1. Lower prices.
2. A smaller model (SE sized, but edge-to-edge screen)
3) Pro Motion
4) USB-C Connector
5) Better battery
6) Fast Charger 18W Adaptor
7) Better camera

In that order.

 

[Nozuka]

i would like a dark mode (for all devices) and some always on functionality.

USB-C would make it an instant buy for me.

 

[Gudi]

These are some of the features I feel should be there.

1) No
2) No
3) I forgot what that was?
4) Yes
5) No
6) No
7) No
8) No

 

[Delolia]

1) Pro Motion 120hz
2) Same price or lower (I can dream it will be 50€ more)
3) X3 optical zoom or more (X5 like Huawei)
4) 960 FPS slow motion in Full HD
5) 5G
6) Screen up to 1000 nits in light peak for better HDR support
7) Face ID 2.0 with landscape unlock

I think it will be good with all the other "spec bump" like each year.

 

[drumcat]

Fingerprint sensor on back. And make the notch go away.

 

[The Game 161]

You will never see fingerprint on the back.

 

[Newtons Apple]

Apple will need to come up with something really great for me to get rid of my MAX. I have had every iPhone and the Max is my favorite by far.

5G will not come to Apple in 2019 and that will hurt them.

 

[DotCom2]

128 GB storage model
Dark Mode
Pencil support
More color choices
(Improved Siri, or get rid of it and start over!)

 

[kazmac]

Lower prices, smaller model, no PWM please.

 

[Shanghaichica]

Pencil support
Split screen
Triple lens camera (wide angle)

 

[chrisforpm]

Split screen on the Max for sure! It’s such a waste of screen real estate to not incorporate it.

 

[janeauburn]

Thinner, lighter, smaller, less expensive.
[doublepost=1546385701][/doublepost]

Why is everyone so hellbent on USB-C on the iPhone? It is not as good as lightning. It is thicker, doesn’t lock into place like lightning, Unauthorized cables not built to standard can fry devices. NO THANKS!

Agree. USB-C: fail.

 

[44267547]

128 GB storage model
Dark Mode
Pencil support
More color choices
(Improved Siri, or get rid of it and start over!)

Nice list. One thing I always envied about the Galaxy note phones, is the capabilities with the S Pen, and I would like to see some type of Apple Pencil support. (Maybe a smaller version.) And improving Siri is a must and undoubtedly it’s coming. Hopefully iOS 13 addresses the area’s that need revamping the Most.

It will not be wise to purchase an iPhone in 2019 unless Apple incorporates 5G, which apparently they will not do.

So an iPhone purchased in 2019 will be worth much, much less and be far less interesting the very next year. Actually, it will be uninteresting even in 2019 given that many other manufacturers will have 5G phones available.

 

[Rebb8424]

1) 5G Network
2) 4K OLED Display
3) Pro Motion
4) Fast Charger 18W Adaptor
5) USB-C Connector
6) For Bigger Screen - Split View Multi-Tasking (Related to iOS)
7) 3D Sensor Rear Camera
8) 960FPS Slow-Mo

These are some of the features I feel should be there. I'm sure not all can't be a part of it, that would only increase the price. But points no 1/3/4/5/6 can definitely fit in all together.

A rear camera that is actually a class leader instead of distant follower. Give us superb low light capability. Others can so why not Apple.

 

[MisterSavage]

Better handling of photos in low light conditions.

 

[bambooshots]

Fingerprint sensor on back. And make the notch go away.

Please, no, not this. Even Samsung has dropped this practice for their phones this year.
