That would be cool. I mostly dont care about a bigger screen or better battery.

They've probably kept the "long press action" for compat reasons? It's equally undiscoverable. I'm not super sad about this one; it was a weird thing from the beginning. It shouldn't have been introduced at all. This feature was introduced in 2014. The timing of the removal makes me think it's related to the departure of Jony Ives.
It's difficult to reliably do one and not the other for some people, myself included.

As long as you have a decent iCloud data subscription, all that 4k video quickly gets whisked away to the cloud. The 64GB on the device effectively houses installed apps and an effective cache of thumbnails and downloaded content. I have the 256 GB config and the needle basically never moves up from about 45 GB.
The problem with keeping it in iCloud is how do you get it all out of iCloud? Say onto Linux, or into another cloud like Dropbox or Google Drive?
I 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.
Still on 6s. Battery life is my reason to upgrade. I'm at 3.5hrs browsing, 14hrs standby on a replacement battery <1yr old.
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.
Perhaps one day they will add enough cameras to make the phone flat again.
I'd rather they make the back uniform thickness so the camera bump is eliminated. Take the extra space for a larger battery. No one is asking for thinner phones but quite a lot of people would love phones with better battery life.

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.
I mean that's like booing the Lightning connector. It's a known quantity and is no worse this year than last year.
Why are you against booing bad things? Are you an APPL investor making a lot of money on these choices? If not, I really can't understand your position here.
I'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.
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.
Xs was incremental improvement, this year people expected more.
Redesign -> CPU leap -> Camera leap
iPhone 6 -> 6S -> 7
iPhone X -> XS -> 11
Still notch... How long would I need to wait for another top-end notchless iPhone?
