This is probably the least interesting new iPhone ever released.
I think the wide angle camera is pretty important if you're into taking pics
I love the wide angle camera on my LG G5. And it's only three years young.

Why do you care? I have owned an iPhone for years and I don't even know how much RAM it has. It simply doesn't matter as long as the OS manages it well. Comparing RAM specs between different OS seems pretty pointless.
It can be annoying if you just want to switch between a small amount of apps or web pages without having to reload an app or a page every time. More RAM would remedy that on a normal computer. I don't know how iOS or Android handle that though.
Sure, having too little RAM matters. But the number alone won't tell you whether it's enough since it depends so much on how the OS works. You may have a better experience with 2GB on iPhone than with 4GB on Android (for example, no idea if this is true).

#253These sorts of threads appear for every announcement. I chuckled seeing another user claim that it wasn't exciting because they didn't have something like Animojis to announce, that feature being a desperate "please try to buy this phone we're trying to justify this awkward face unlock thing". It's an incremental update that also brings huge new features to the "low priced" version. And it'll do great.
Yep, cell phones have reached peak feature-dom and this iPhone X style design is excellent. We don't need new fancy bells attached to it just for the sake of it. Just make it incrementally better and faster, without messing up what was good about it previously.

#254These smartphones are increasingly looking like a spider with all these lenses...

#255I'm not looking forward to setting an alarm for 5 am on Friday. I understand those on edt didn't like a 3 am time but it seems that there could have been a different compromise. Like 8 am pdt. Is that so they can say everything is sold out before the morning news cycle?
It's midnight PST–not that odd of a time for a west coast company.

This notch is only seen by non-iPhone users. It disappears completely and immediately.
I am an iPhone user who refuses to upgrade from my 7+ until this silly notch business is removed. It does not "disappear completely and immediately", especially when viewing landscape mode video content.
It does "disappear completely and immediately" for people who have the phone with the notch.

#257Will the three cameras allow taking pictures with weird 3D or color effects? IE take a picture with all three of the cameras and interlace them to get trinocular vision or make RGB filters (red on camera 1 etc). You could even do it in video maybe? That would be cool. I mostly dont care about a bigger screen or better battery.
The FiLMiC Pro demo showed that apps have access to all four camera simultaneously at some frame rate or another, so such a thing might be possible. Matching the images would be tricky, given that all three rear lenses have different focal lengths.

#258Disappointing 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.
Have iPhone X models appeared in Apple's refurb store before today? I just checked, and they're now available. The new top models seem outrageously expensive to me.

#259It's been clear for quite some time that terms like "Extreme", "Pro" and "Max" are marketing terms. They are not accurate classifications of how they will be used. If people feel strongly enough that the name is not accurate, they will have to buy a competing product that fulfills their needs at the price they are willing to pay. I suppose what would be interesting, but highly proprietary, would be Apple's marketing…
>It's been clear for quite some time that terms like "Extreme", "Pro" and "Max" are marketing terms. A great example of this is the "PS4 Pro"
Listen pal, my eSports Twitch career won't go anywhere with just the base model /sarcasm

#260Meh... I'll wait for 2020 iPhones and the 5 cameras. 3 are barely cutting it.
"Cutting"... I see what you did there.
