The incredibly dull pace of innovation coming out of Apple lately is the logical result of a supply chain expert becoming the CEO.
That said, as you can see from the thunderous applause after every sentence in that auditorium, the herd laps up dull shit.

It’s not like 64 GB is useless. A lot of people don’t fill that... why make them buy more than they’ll use?
That argument makes sense for phones that aren't classified as "PRO".
This 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.
Perhaps one day they will add enough cameras to make the phone flat again.
The camera bump(s) actually work really well with phone cases, allowing the phone with case to be thinner and flat. Since almost everyone carries their phone in a case, it seems like a reasonable solution.

Disappointing 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.
I honestly think all these high end phones focused on camera, should at least start with 128 GB of space. OS and apps are big enough anyway.
I like how Samsung has stuck to its guns on some of the features that Apple and later others dropped, biggest being the external card support, dual sim support and audio jack. Only if they were not hell bent on adding their own customizations, I would have loved to try one.

Why would people boo for a bad thing? I don't know. There's no excuse for under-speccing a $1000 phone and charging $150 to add a $40 NAND chip to it. ( Looks at Apple's profit margins and revenue ) Oh that's why.
$40 NAND? You do realize apple doesn’t just use any NAND, right? They use high performance ones. Those cost more.

I'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.

Wholeheartedly agree, especially when demoing the ability to film simultaneously on multiple cameras, and the 4K front-facing camera. The 64 GB is really a slap in the face.
