Anyone knows if this will support the new iPhone 11 pro wide angle lens? I always find AR phone apps too "cramped", with the camera not being wide enough. Would be great to see new AR apps taking advantage of the wide angle lens, if that is possible.

It's been five days since I last charged my Xs....But of course I know that plenty of other people seem to go through their batteries much faster...

You'd probably get 1-2 extra days ;-) I typically go through a full charge throughout a day. Sometimes I need to charge mid day, a bit depending on the use. I often end up using the phone 90% for communication, like e-mail, safari, forums, managing my channel, answering comments, messaging throughout the day. I rarely use my computer for any of that. I don't have any good internet in my studio, so I often end up using tethered internet from my phone when I need internet for my computer, like for uploading/ downloading/ sharing files etc. The iPhone XS is a work horse for me. Sometimes I run through two charges in a day. 4 hours extra battery life sounds really great for someone me.

Thanks, I’ll pass.
Lack of a Home Button is the 100% deal breaker for me.

What is it with the home button that you won't accept loosing? Do you just like it more, or is there a specific reason? The only thing that I find might have a slight advantage is being able to unlock with touchID without showing your face in the faceID zone. Other than that I got used to the buttonless swipes in minutes and I like it so much more than the button in all cases. I feel that the home button is kinda inefficient, old and clunky now, compared to the buttonless swipes.

Can’t help but thinking it would be able to accomplish most of that on one port if they fully embraced Thunderbolt instead of USB-C? Is licensing an issue? I mean, with this design they’re basically locking compatibility with computers that have Thunderbolt anyways, no?

How much chunkier would an iPhone really feel if the whole phone was just as thick as the lens bump? Just filled with added battery capacity? Most cases are as fat, if not slightly fatter than the bump. But cases mostly add bulk because of the frame, no? This huge bump does not really appeal to me aesthetically.
