Never saw a more boring presentation in my life. Almost everybody looked like they wanted it to end. They almost ran off the stage the second they finished talking. And the crowd was bored too...

#132The utra wide angle 13mm lens will be awesome to have, been waiting a long time for that. One more reason not to carry a dslr.

#133This thread needs to lighten up. The 11 is an incremental improvement - is that so wrong? Who still upgrades their phone every year anyway? I bought my iPhone 8 two years ago thinking of it as a 5 year investment.

But good for users. We will not generate too much electronic waste. Will save money and when finally when their is actually a time to upgrade due to actual hardware degradation, You can get nice bump in hardware spec.

I’m pretty sure they don’t force everyone to shoot lots of multi camera 4K videos just because the model serves their needs in other ways. About half of the people I help choose phones would be fine with 64 GB, me included. There’s no point making them buy a bunch of flash memory they will never use just to get the better still camera that they want.

But would you be counseling these people to get the iPhone Pro in the first place? I would guess that most folks who want the Pro would want more than 64 GB.
iCloud storage makes it fairly easy to not keep everything you've ever recorded on your phone, it really depends on the user. Back when you kept all your music and all your photos/video it was more critical to have a ton of storage locally.
Most people buying the expensive model will probably opt for more storage, but for those that don't need it I don't see a problem with offering a lower tier.

#135That 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
Didn't view the page until your comment... definitely approaching lotus seed level. If it gives you a deeply unsettling feeling, you may have it.

#137Disappointing 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.
People wouldn’t have booed. This is the same storage pricing as the previous two generations.

Fine, make 64 for base users, but it's still a d* move to go from 64 GB right to 256 GB.

As long as you have a decent iCloud data subscription, all that 4k video quickly gets whisked away to the cloud.
The 64GB on the device effectively houses installed apps and an effective cache of thumbnails and downloaded content.
I have the 256 GB config and the needle basically never moves up from about 45 GB.

#140Because it blows my mind that apple doesn't have a working video on their site....... nay, TWO non-working videos, the keynote and the short film.
Heres the short film on youtube:
