Guess I'm the only one that loves this new phone, because it's better in everyway, and I use my phone all day.

#72Stop trying to make "slofie" happen.
Re: iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
#73Looks 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.
If you wear even the thinnest case/skin on your phone, the camera won't be protruding at all. The office apple leather skin on Xs Max makes the phone de facto flat on the back.

#74Perhaps one day they will add enough cameras to make the phone flat again.

#75This is probably the least interesting new iPhone ever released.
With the most underwhelming event
1.5 hour just to re-announce Arcade/TV+, and give a small spec bump to iPad, Apple Watch and iPhone. What a waste of time. The only real new feature the iPhone got was Night Mode which is an exact copy of the computational stuff Pixel does with Night Sight, from their description.

#76That ability to record multiple video streams at the same time is the one game changer that jumped out to me. It doesn't matter to me, but a buddy of mine that podcasts and shoots video is about as thrilled as I've ever seen him on apple launch days.

#77Disappointing 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.
Because it has been that way for years? Why would people boo for the existing structure?

#78Come on, Apple. 13mm, 26mm, and 52mm lenses? Have you even watched people use your phones? They always zoom in (like, 10x). A 3x optical would have been much nicer. 4x and I would have preordered.
I was surprised by this as well - the ultrawide certainly seems more niche than a 3x or 4x for better portraits, attempts at wildlife, etc.

I'm just happy they dropped the stupid 'X' nomenclature. Now they need to rename Xcode to Apple Code or something...
Yeah, the X was confusing, but now the new iPhone 11 is not really the new iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 Pro is the new iPhone 11. Still confusing...
The argument has been made that the 11 is just as good as the flagship iPhones of the past but now they have another beyond-flagship model above that.

They're changing the product positioning in the line so that the most popular model is now the "normal" one, and premium models are a step up from that. Honestly I like it better than giving the high end model the default branding with a worse model below it that most people will actually buy.
