Nothing, other than I don't like to buy hardware that's prime for a refresh and I have a current need want for another one in my basement.

Other than a faster CPU what else would they add? I don't see 8k support coming anytime soon. I wouldn't mind a new remote though.

I’ve got to say though, people clambering for gimmicks like charging other phones with your phones or 5g when not even major cities have it yet is indicative of people who don’t respect how mature the smartphone is as a technology and how hard real innovation is now. We should be happy phones last two or even three years.

Figured with the push on gaming they'd beef it up.

Now I got to find a deal on a cheap one so I'm not paying full price at target.

Time to jailbreak this 6 and trundle along losing 20% battery with each podcast I listen to. I can’t believe I fell for SE2 yet again.

I guess I should have bought that battery replacement last year, but that $30 could have gone into my budget for a $350 iPhone that still doesn’t exist.

Did they talk about this?

quote:

The new Apple‑designed U1 chip uses Ultra Wideband technology for spatial awareness — allowing iPhone 11 Pro to precisely locate other U1‑equipped Apple devices. It’s like adding another sense to iPhone, and it’s going to lead to amazing new capabilities.

With U1 and iOS 13, you can point your iPhone toward someone else’s, and AirDrop will prioritize that device so you can share files faster.4 And that’s just the beginning.

Hot drat the trade-in values loving plummeted. I got $225 last year for my S3 when I got the S4. Going through the store and the max trade in for a S4 is.... $100.

Yeah, my stainless steel black is 110 trade in. Last year I got 225 too I think, if not more. Not worth it anymore, last year it was at least decent. From S4 to S5 the only big update is always on display, which is cool, but not 600+ dollars cool.

Yeah... I am uninspired to upgrade from my 8 unless they come up with a really good trade in deal.

I am remembering the free upgrade with T-Mobile from iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 in a year where people didn't really care for the new phones. I still didn't do it, because the differences were negligible.

Between the 128gb 11 and the 256gb Pro is a $400 difference. I have a 6S that I got refurb 2 years ago to replace a 6 whose GPS antenna had failed after 3 years. I've hit the wall on 64gb.

On the one hand, it's "only" a $400 difference for a device I expect to get at least 2 years out of. On the other hand, the phone with the two cameras is 65% the price of the phone with three.

And I *am* one of the goobers lusting after a Ricoh GR/Sony RX100. Maybe I should just drop the $1100 on the assumption that it'll cover the job of a fancy $1000 point-and-shoot.

Wait for the carrier Black Friday deals. Last two years I've taken a $750 credit on trade in if I opened a new line with T-Mobile. Cancelled it less than a month later and the all in was still very generous.

The cameras are fancy and all but you shouldn't overlook the step up in quality from an LCD to OLED screen.

Poverty phones are still so insanely over powerful for the actual tasks we do on our phones. All you get is better pictures of ugly kids and beer pours. It's fomo and it will pass.

But, that green color is fire. I wonder where they got the ideal from?

No, seriously... what kurds?!
So I was sort of considering going with the iPhone because of a bunch of situations where I've been sick with fiddling around, or it getting more or less implied that it works best with iOS (random third party services and hardware). And I'd prefer to keep an OLED display. Because of the gadget whore I am, I also want the recent model. This'd leave me with the nearly 1200€ model. Now after a shower(thought), with the exception of Face ID and some SoC internals, with a bit of eye squinting, the current S10 of mine has hardware wise pretty much the same as that 11 Pro (same display manufacturer, same camera supplier, both have triple cameras, both have premium glass backs, etc blah blah, not sure how much a difference aluminium vs. steel frame would make), at nearly 300€ less back when I got it right on release, even less if you count the free Galaxy Buds that came with them. And 128GB instead of 64GB. The rest of the difference is largely software, and I'm not sure whether it's worth the 400€ delta, nevermind the total cost of jumping ship.

Maybe next year. It's eventually going to happen, tho.

Expected sort of a surprise new sensor for the watch, but I guess not. The health research crap was pretty wishy-washy. Pretty much like Cardiogram, lots of big talk on the blog about machine learning, but after years of being available, they still don't give you any info, not even just tentatively (because Eff Dee Aye, or whatever the gently caress).

You’ll still need to preorder to guarantee you’ll get one, but other than that they just want the phone back, you keep any cables, boxes, manuals etc.

Same, but lol if I'm gonna incorporate an A6400 or A7S into my everyday carry like some insufferable "street photographer".

This really does seem aimed at the "Ricoh GRIII" corner of the market, but a lot of those guys seem to fetishize their cameras as objects and wish they could afford to carry around Leicas so we'll see how much of a dent it makes there.

So Do we know if the pro has more ram vs the 11? I’m sure it does but I’m curious if they did the same thing as the Xs Maxxxxx where the higher end storage comes with more ram.
