You shouldn't fill an auditorium full of journos and tech bloggers to announce minor iterations of existing products.
It is quite aggressive of apple to physically force all those people to fill that auditorium against their will, isn't it

“Pro” is not just for productivity but comfort of use as well. As an analogy if you sit on a chair 8 hours a day you’ll want a super nice chair, even if it wouldn’t have direct effects on productivity compared to a just decent one. For most people relying on a smartphone for work, be it 700 or 1000 the device will pay for itself in a few months at most, so I think the price difference won’t matter much. Better batter…
Honest question, who relies on a smartphone for work? I mean, obviously people rely on a phone for work, people rely on email for work, but what jobs are there where getting the iPhone pro model would make a difference to getting, say, the now much lower priced iPhone 8.. or for that matter a used 2/3 year old flagship android phone?
People can be productive and do fantastic work on any working material. But why have it worse when you’ll be using the device day in day out and stare at it for years ?
I don’t think we are arguing the Pro is nicer, right ?
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'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.
It was a hidden feature that Apple struggled to communicate (and was hard to describe without physically trying it) was always going to be problematic. How do you train users? What is the discoverability? It was a legitimate problem when most of your user-base aren't tech nerds and most people aren't reading the manual/help guides. So you implement an app feature via 3D Touch and users just assume that feature doesn'…

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.
The incredibly dull pace of innovation coming out of Apple lately is the logical result of a supply chain expert becoming the CEO.
I would agree if there was something radical from others. It's all been incremental from everyone ever since the iPhone 4. So it's not a CEO thing. There really isn't any new feature that the masses need from these devices anymore. That said, as you can see from the thunderous applause after every sentence in that auditorium, the herd laps up dull shit.
Year after year of new iPhone's premieres I wonder for how long I'm going to use my iPhone SE - 3,5years has gone and nothing new for me on the horizon :( I don't care about missing jack, USB-C, cameras and other things - just make it smaller and it will fine by me.
Same. Headphone jack, the internals of an iPhone 7, tiny form-factor, best design (IMO) – they can pry my iPhone SE out of my cold, dead hands.
Disappointed that there wasn't really a true breakout feature I guess they're still doing the s-cadence even if they got rid of the name. I'm still rocking a 6s and I'm gonna keep it for the next year I guess, more battery life is nice but can't swing $999 for 4 more hours of battery life. Here's hoping 128gb is standard next year (I currently have the 128gb 6s which was the most expensive at the time).
On a 6S myself but it's in dire need of replacement (survived multiple drops fine, but a flip on my desk broke the glass and now it's progressively getting worse). The 11 looked like a fine-ish option (with a 128GB version), but god it's half an inch wider and taller again, and 30% heavier. I guess I'm getting an 8.
You know you could have the screen replaced, right...?
