Perhaps one day they will add enough cameras to make the phone flat again.
I'm impressed at the sheer number of bumps. Pretty much guaranteed to be resting your phone on a camera lens. I wonder if it'll actually sit flat on its back.

#202Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Theres also a crazy amount of enterprise purchases who dont care about storage. Everything is stored off device, and an MDM is keeping whats on the device to a minimum. Companies would still be buying 32GB by the truckfull if it was available. Apple was right to discontinue it because 32GB wasnt enough to run the OS anymore, while also being a usable phone. Since you cant run a phone without iOS, and stripping the OS…

I use 20 GB on my iPhone SE quite comfortably. It's absolutely enough to be usable.

#203Disappointing 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.
This isn't new. Both the X and XS jumped from 64GB to 256GB.
Good point, although those phones were not called Pro phones. They were top-of-the-line, but it was more understandable to offer a 64 GB version without the Pro moniker.

#204Sadly still missing USB-C
USB-C has more dust problems in my experience. With lightning you can just blow out the dust (bigger space).

#205I'll never buy another iPhone without the analog Home button. Having a hardwired "I'm stupid" button makes me feel safe. Keeping it in software means that, when my phone inevitably slows down or crashes, I have no recourse but to wait for the phone to be responsive again. I know they do it to keep the repair costs down and I appreciate that but the analog button is just that important to me.
Just for you: iPhone 8, $450.

#206That 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
Absolutely, I found the backside of iPhone 11 Pro horrendous. It's really difficult to look at it.

#207The incredibly dull pace of innovation coming out of Apple lately is the logical result of a supply chain expert becoming the CEO.
Re: iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
#208I watched the announcement really trying to find an excuse to upgrade. But to be honest there was not a single new feature that I really wanted and that my current iPhone 6S couldn't do. Pity.
If you don’t want a camera upgrade every 2 years then there is zero reason to upgrade. But the camera upgrades alone are usually worth it.
It's subjective, but cameras are already so good that it hardly makes a difference.

#209There aren't many things from Android I miss: can I cancel the upcoming alarm yet?
Re: iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
#210This 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.
