Looks like the camera is their main selling proposition.

For me, the camera is the reason why I do not consider buying an iPhone. Because it sticks out on the back.

I don't know .. for me it's impossible to imagine using a phone that does not have a flat back.

Disappointed that there wasn't really a true breakout feature I guess they're still doing the s-cadence even if they got rid of the name. I'm still rocking a 6s and I'm gonna keep it for the next year I guess, more battery life is nice but can't swing $999 for 4 more hours of battery life. Here's hoping 128gb is standard next year (I currently have the 128gb 6s which was the most expensive at the time).

I also have an 6s. Haven't found much reason to upgrade. I like the smaller form factor. I guess upgrading to the 7 or 8 may be nice at some point for water resistance (a heavy rain shower killed my SE).

For me the 4 extra hours of battery life is the real breakthrough here.

I don't care for many of the other features because you forget them in your day-to-day use.

While I understand the need to make the camera more powerful (and it's one of the iPhone's truly outstanding capabilities), I just can't understand how Apple decided the design of iPhone 11. (not the Pro)

Was that new camera system really needed in iPhone 11? It... well... just literally spoiled the design... I understand the need of iPhone 11 Pro's cameras... but really? the 11?

That camera cluster gives me trypophobia vibes. I feel like some sort of robot insect monster is going to hatch and take over my brain. (and/or this iPhone is an infant robot overlord)

Another iteration of "why bother" gadgets which is definitely cool but do we all really need one? I expect the fad to break in the next decade.
