    It's good you mentioned that. I could have sworn they were gonna announce a new Siri engine. Was so disappointed and Siri will drag her feet for yet another year....

  • iPhone XR hands-on: New model called 'fascinating,' 'a super-strange phone'

    Apparently the android slaves are singing like a choir. A song that says "Those XR bezels are HUGE!!"

    Is there any specifications showing they're any bigger than iPhone X? They look tiny.

    I must be getting old. These phone look wonderful expect for the price. I am still using my 6S. I am not sure when I will upgrade to the 8S. The cost needs to come down.
    I am a long time customer for Apple. All the way back to the Apple II.

    I can't for the life of me figure out why Apple didn't make the LCD version smaller. This would have made it cheaper and easier to differentiate.
    I can easily see old ladies buying the R just because it's cheaper without knowing why. Wouldn't be surprised if R outsold XS.
    Except Apple is keeping around the 7 and 8 to fill lower price points. If they made the XR cheaper the gap between it and the XS would be to big.

    I prefer a SE sized iPhone X and removing the 7 and 8. They removed a newer iPhone after all but kept the old school ones. Weird. Why not go all "bezel-less"?

    I'd prefer a line up close to this:

    SE Sized iPhone X R: $649

    iPhone Xs: $999

    iPhone Xs Max: $1099

    P.S. The XR was so confusing. For a moment I thought it was a new premium model with better performance than Xs. You really have to dig into the details to know the difference. Like I said a lot of people will think its similar enough and spend less money for their favorite color, where as the size would have been an in-your-face differentiator.

    Because of deeply insightful commentary like this:
    "It's got a bunch of the specs of the iPhone XS, but it's missing a whole bunch of stuff too."
    /s

    Guess he wants it to have more features than the Xs at a smaller price. Smart guy!!
