Come on, Apple. 13mm, 26mm, and 52mm lenses?
Have you even watched people use your phones? They always zoom in (like, 10x).
A 3x optical would have been much nicer. 4x and I would have preordered.

#62Disappointing that the base configuration of the iPhone 11 Pro has 64 GB of storage. If you're going to call it Pro and talk about how you can shoot professional video, you can't ship it with 64 GB of storage. EDIT: Also, they don't let you jump to 128 GB. You have to go to 256 GB, for $150 more. I can see why they didn't talk about this at the event. People would have booed.
That's just marketing to make sure you buy the more expensive models while base model appears to be somewhat reasonably priced. Usual marketing mindhack.

#63That 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia
This was my first thought, and then seeing multiple phones in the mockup didn't help. How did this get approved?

Of all the reasons not to buy this this one seems a bit silly to me. How is this such a big problem? I have an older iPhone where the camera sticks out as well and I don't even realize it. It has zero effect on day to day use. And if it does cause problems just get a case?
Apple users are finicky and love aesthetics. That's one of Apple's/Ive (before he left) major selling points was simple beauty. A lump on the back is not beautiful, simple, clean or elegant.
And yet way more iPhones with camera bumps have been sold than ones without. Life moves on. In the real world almost everyone uses a case and that negates any camera bump. People will make fun of it for a day or two online, but it just doesn't matter.

#65I'm quite sad they have removed 3D Touch from the phones. A minor feature I really enjoy with quick peeking — and bummed to lose that touch information for apps like Procreate Pocket and other drawing tools.
Is this confirmed yet? Would be sad indeed.

#66This is probably the least interesting new iPhone ever released.
They improved every aspect of the phone. Each is a feat of engineering unto itself.
What were you hoping for?

They've probably kept the "long press action" for compat reasons? It's equally undiscoverable. I'm not super sad about this one; it was a weird thing from the beginning. It shouldn't have been introduced at all.
This feature was introduced in 2014. The timing of the removal makes me think it's related to the departure of Jony Ives.

According to Apple's specs, there is still a 256 GB option.

If you are “feature-shopping”, you may want to check out Android phones, which ship with lots of gimmicks (which they call “features”). Apple is for quality - which is why you are still happy with your 6S. ;)
Yeah, problem is I want both features and quality. :) I am 100% sold on Apple devices in terms of quality, reliability and privacy issues. I don't think I'd buy an Android anytime soon. I just wish they had a few more exciting hardware features.
What kind of exciting features were you hoping for? What does Android phones have that is missing on iphones? Beyond 5G which isn't deployed widely yet

Optical zoom and thin form factor doesn't work together too well.
