So what do you think the next iPhone will be about? Next Fall is when I'm upgrading. I'm guess it's not a "S" model anymore so what could they do to make it feel like a significant update from now?

Maybe thinner, less bezel, less notch? I don’t know though maybe they’ll milk this exact form factor and be able to lower the prices.

Assuming they’re not lying, that’s something they purposely chose not to explore. They are also putting a lot of marketing and features behind faceID and I can’t imagine that they would want to look like they’re taking a step back from it or admitting it’s not fully adequate.

FaceID is a big feature drawing me to upgrade to the X series phones as I'm known to have sticky and greasy fingers. I'm also thinking of moving down from a Plus size phone. Also, the display quality of the new phones is very nice, very nice. I just hope the next phones have even more utility added like better battery life/faster charging.

Until they come out with ar glasses I am going to stick with a bigger phone. I consume media, including these forums, on the phone and I like having a larger screen for more content/easier readability. That matters more to me personally than easy one handed use.

I guess mission accomplished Apple. My only issue is the phone is too drat big for some of my pockets but winter is coming... How does the watch help? I ordered the series 4, it arrives mid October.

I would guess he means the notifications that (can) pop up on the watch means you cut down on the number of three-second “check my phone” actions.

Does the XS just have a ton more haptic feedback than the 6S? Or do I just have some setting enabled now that I didn’t used to? poo poo’s bumping and buzzing all over the place and I like it.

It does, because the 6S didn’t have any haptic feedback, that was introduced with the 7.American McGay posted:If I spent $1500 on a phone I'd probably be telling myself this too. All these flavors and you choose to be salty.

I remember that was the purpose of Apple's gadget design. You have a bunch of small devices and once you hit the limit on one, you move up to the next one. Really good design principal to promote consumerism.

This is weird. I installed the beta profile to get iOS 12 GM and the removed the profile and now it's saying I'm getting 12.1 pb tonight? I rebooted and it's still there. Am I missing something? E: reboot and turned auto update off then on and now it's gone. That's weird. Matt Zerella fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Sep 22, 2018 |

OH HI GOONS I AM #1 RETARD!! So guess what I found scratches the iphone screen really nicely? Another loving iphone screen. Yeah that's right last night I got new Xs Max and put my X on top camera bump down gently for a size comparison. Slid it a little bit for a proper line up and then took a picture. A couple hours later I noticed a nice birds nest of scratches where the camera bump was laying on my brand new Max... Well I'm a loving idiot but at least I am resourceful, I went to the apple store first thing this morning 30 minutes before open and exchanged my space grey for a silver... Because I wanted a different color...

Got an XS when Verizon opened this morning, and it lived in my pocket til I could get to the fruit stand to get Applecare+ and a forest green leather case. So far I love it, coming from an 8+. This form factor is exactly what I wanted, able to use my phone one handed again without thinking I'ma drop it. Also super light. Gonna be nice at work when I'm juggling multiple things and need to look at my phone. First phone with an OLED screen and panicked when I first noticed the hue changing to a cooler temperature when the viewing angle changes. Apparently that's just par for the course on OLEDs, I'm sure I'll get used to it. Face ID is a lot better than I thought it'd be too, worrying about missing the home button. Super nice that the phone will just quickly scan my face for logging into accounts instead of asking for my password or taking a moment to remember to put my thumb on a sensor.

Boris Galerkin posted:Why is this so hard. If you like the 6s form factor then get a 7 or 8. They are more or less the exact same size. The 7 is better than the 6s and the 8 is better than the 7. The 6s is software supported but no longer sold. The 8 has wireless charging and the 7 doesn’t. Battery life on the 6s blows. Suqit posted:7 and above have no headphone jack too. Bringing these back up for a second, as I am so sorry I didn't get to reply to you all then and wanted to thank you for your advice. Sadly, it sorta seems like rocket science to me as this is would be my very first iPhone purchase and I'm just worried I'm totally going to screw it up by getting something that won't get OS updates or is too old or not worth it etc. (or something I really don't need) I've gotten some assistance at the T-Mobile store and I still don't know what I want. When they bounce you between stuff like LGs and Samsungs and a bunch of different iPhones, it can get really confusing! Anyways, tl;dr, I am still very grateful for the assistance, am sorry that I didn't get to reply to you all sooner and am gaining some new insight by reading about all of your new and old phones so I appreciate it!

There's a return period. Get the phone you think you want and return it if you don't like it. iCloud backups make moving to a new phone painless. And stop worrying about min maxing your phone purchase. Get the drat phone you want.

If you want updates the only choice is a pixel on Android. The rest will be disappointment. The 5S, a phone released in 2013 just got iOS 12. Headphone jacks are gone on the iPhone unless you want a legacy device. The 3.5mm to lightning adapter is needed but it’s really not a big deal. A 7 is still a solid choice as is the 8 or X.

This Xs makes me feel dumb for not buying the X last year. Oh well. The phone is a big upgrade for me from the 8 just for the screen. FaceID is meh. I also went with Otterbox because their Symmetry case, while standard Otterbox ugly, does provide decent protection without the bulk of the Defender.

Yeah, I have quickly realized that and wish I had actually done the research at the time in regards to which phones actually do get OS updates for Android. It's quite nice to hear that even devices that have stopped being made are getting the OS updates on iOS though, that's reassuring. So yeah, I guess it's a trip back to the store to look at iPhones.

And stop worrying about min maxing your phone purchase. Get the drat phone you want. That's very true as well. I'll go take a look and see what there is out there. Worst case, I return it and best case, I get a phone that'll work for me. Again, thanks all. I really and truly appreciate it.
