Don’t underestimate that - they’re more cameras with additional phone functionality these days, rather than vice versa.
True, the name iPhone doesn't really suit the product any more. I probably use the phone feature 1% of the time I'm actually using the device.Quote:

From what I can see it's not much different from last year's models (or even the year before that). But most phone contracts are 2 years now, I've had my current iPhone 7 for nearly 3, so the 11 Pro I've just ordered will be a massive upgrade, especially as I took no notice of the new models last year because I had no intention of upgrading.Quote:

Or handheld computers with a camera attached. There isn't much I can do on a laptop that I couldn't do on my phone.Quote:

Shame Apple have reduced the trade in from £280 last month to £160 this month for my 7+ against the top model new phone.
My daughter who works in IT and is s bit of a gadget geek, reliably informs me that the 11 isn’t worth bothering with and you’d be better off waiting for the 12 next year.
She still uses a 6s though, although she says that she needs to upgrade because it’s no longer supported by the new iOS.
For those with an X or XS then I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade.
No 5G, no USB-C connector on the phone to charge.
I’m holding out for the Pixel 4. If that is 5G, I might switch even though I’ve used an apple phone for the last 10 years.
I'm really keen to switch, but frankly am terrified of leaving the comfort of Apple. I feel too embedded into iOS with iCloud and AirDrop etc and friends who only use iMessage.Quote:

I’ve been gradually weening myself of apple for the last year initially because I got fed up that Apple Music won’t chromecast to my google home max speakers. I’m now pretty much exclusively using google apps on my iphone in preparation to be able to break free of apple.Quote:

I'm not upgrading my iPhone X.

New iPhone is a joke. No improved screen refresh rate 5G or even USB C. Even OnePlus are putting them to shame. That being said the OnePlus cameras are total balls.
I'm waiting for the Pixel 4, hope it has 5G. Netflix already leaked the screen specs which look delicious.
Not much of a step up from my XR but I will upgrade into the 11 in January.
Our phones get passed down so wife gets the XR, daughter gets her 8 and son get her 7.
So in the long run we get good use out of them.
When I think about how much I do on my iPhone I think it’s good value. Especially compared to the 5 or 6 times a day I check the time/date on a Rolex/Omega/Breitling !!

Will upgrade next year as I have the Max.
Battery upgrade sounds good in the 11 but that and camera not enough for me to upgrade.
Guess USB-C will be chucked on next one properly
I was somewhat underwhelmed at the iPhone 11 reveal. I wasn't expecting much as the rumours predicted correctly that there would be no 5G or USB-C until 2020. I'm sure the camera is excellent though that of my current iPhone X is none too shabby. I'll be sticking with my iPhone X and consider upgrading next year if 5G rolls out near me in rural Gloucestershire. :frown-new:
Word on the street is wait for the 19Quote:

A lovely sized phone. I have the XR and it's a brick compared to the older iPhones. (It does take nice photos, though!)Quote:

Providing it lasts that long I shall wait for the iPhone 12.
Needs five cameras.......five is the operative number.
Gillette understand this.
Three is a bit rubbish....
Well it was when spokenQuote:

I got the seven three years ago, having held in to my 5S for what appeared to be an eternity before that.
I need to upgrade the 7. It’s so slow. The battery is awful. Typically I’ve held out too long and will by an iterative model the year before something more significant arrives. I just never get it right 🤦*♂️
Why wasn't X called 9?Quote:

just the colours for existing X and newer users
went to look today like the total apple fanboy I am but no, not worth it over my X, which will probably not be bettered until the 12 comes out.
also I'll wait for 5G (when it comes to my area) and that means that and the 12 I expect will be my next upgrades - so three years with an X looks pretty likely
IOS 13 is a nice upgrade, had it in beta on my ipad for a few months and got used to it, but didn't want to risk it on my phone.
updated today and it runs really nicely and got the newer apple carplay layout as a bonus I wasn't expecting too greeting me when I started the car this morning
all of the above subject to seeing the 11 Pro max in green which they didn't have.......
Battery on 11 Pro supposedly lasts 4hrs longer than equivalent sized XS. That's not been mentioned yet but it's a pretty big improvement.
They have really messed the numbering up. The cameras are getting silly, but what else can they add.. xray cameras next..

I like iPhones but realise they’re stupidly expensive for what they are, especially in comparison to Android. To counteract this I make mine last for 3 years - glass screen protector and decent case from day 1 , and tbh it takes about 3 years before I see any upgrade on the new generation that I actually want or need. My current one is a 7, and I don’t see anything on the new models that’s particularly earth shattering (and the 7 takes perfectly good photos for my needs). I’m hoping the XR or 11 are cheaper by April when the 3 years are up. I always aim to get the ‘normal’ sized model with the biggest battery capacity - friends with the XR really rate the battery in comparison to older models

Still unsure if I want to return to Apple.
Left last year to Huawei p20 pro. Camera fantastic, android is ok, but it's not as slick as apple.
However it's a very small difference and I don't think the price justifies it.
