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.

If you are “feature-shopping”, you may want to check out Android phones, which ship with lots of gimmicks (which they call “features”). Apple is for quality - which is why you are still happy with your 6S. ;)

Yeah, problem is I want both features and quality. :)

I am 100% sold on Apple devices in terms of quality, reliability and privacy issues. I don't think I'd buy an Android anytime soon. I just wish they had a few more exciting hardware features.

I had just convinced myself that I could probably deal with the size of the X and then they went and got rid of even that one in favor of something even larger as their smallest offering. Bleh

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.

Looks like the camera is their main selling proposition. For me, the camera is the reason why I do not consider buying an iPhone. Because it sticks out on the back. I don't know .. for me it's impossible to imagine using a phone that does not have a flat back.

My thinking is that the reason why they don't care about the camera sticking out is that people usually have covers on their phones that level this problem out.

Good. I'm glad to be off the upgrade treadmill from the early days of smartphones, on both the hardware and the OS level. When my current one breaks, I'll upgrade.
