> This is something only Apple would do, Introducing iPhone Mini. Well, you're the only company making iPhones.
They seem to be the only company making a small flagship phone. Ever since the Sony mini phones stopped getting updates I lost hope.
No 4k 240 fps video, as people were saying it would have. That's disappointing. I hate having to decide between the two whenever I shoot action shots.
Why is this considered an exemplary shot? https://www.apple.com/v/iphone-12/a/images/overview/camera/s... (first picture under "Automatic magic") The pants look artificial, the hands and feet are really dark, you can't see the detail on the trees. Is this just a really hard angle to shoot, against the summer sky?
Not bad, I think the mini will be popular and I like the mag safe. Still, this is my iPhone wish list: - USB-C - 120hz display - face id AND in screen touch id - better wireless charging - dump the notch
120 hz sounds like it would hurt battery life alot.
There are Android devices that show that it does have a battery cost, but it isn't extraordinary.
Huge miss to not have touch id in a era of a raging pandemic. I literally have not used the face-id once outside my house since March, because I always use a mask, so I have to type in my password. Which I had to revert to an unsafe 6 digit one from my 12char alphanumeric that I had until March.
What’s makes this even more frustrating is that they just came out with Touch ID in the power button foe the iPad Air, so they could have put both on the phone.
The thing he got wrong was that he thought it was for iPhone. Turns out it was for iPad.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This phone was designed, locked in place, and started manufacturing years ago.
Adding a fingerprint scanner doesn't affect every component in the phone. It doesn't affect the display, CPU, dimensions or anything with a long lead time. It affects the power button. Apple had well enough time to add it.
This is far easier on an iPad which has that design decision made up front.
I feel like I'm going insane. On every single model revealed today, there is a differently-colored patch on the right side of the phone, below the power button. What is it? It's not the SIM card slot - that's on the left side. It's not a new TouchID sensor - the website doesn't even mention it at all. And yet it exists in every single render.
I feel we need to talk about the charger. It is not included in the box. The reasoning is that we have our chargers from previous iPhones. But those white boxes all take USB-A. The included cable is USB-C. Never mind, I will just use the USB-C charger from other devices. But wait... the cable that comes in the box is USB-C male and those adapters from other devices don't take USB-C (either fixed cable, or USB-A, or n…
You will likely already have a charger and a USB-A to Lightning Cable. Use those.
If you dont, the package comes with USB-C to Lightning, now you can get a USB-C 18W Fast Charger at a reduced price of $19.
The most disappointing aspect to me is that the difference between the Pro and the Pro Max is no longer just the size. I'm quite fond of the size of my 11 Pro and I don't really want to be upsold to the Pro Max if I want the best.
It has been a lost opportunity not to take advantage of the extra size to improve the the features for the max.
I understand the value of the different phone sizes but still can't understand why companies are selling 64 GB models. I know we have everything in the cloud these days but with apps with rich assets and smartphones being more capable with cameras, you run out of 64 GB quite easily. 128 GB should be the baseline model in 2020 for any phone that costs above $600.
