iPhone 11 Pro review - Buy for the better camera, stay for the battery life
I was ready to consider this a "pass" year as I really like my XS Max, but that camera system... *drool*

Kuo: iPhone 11 & Pro having strong launch, Apple will sell 75M iPhones in 2019
This is very true. That camera system is going to be amazing and the extra hours of battery life is nothing to sneeze at. I'll probably wait a little while as I have an XS Max, but if I start seeing some photos that have that "wow" factor I'll be purchasing!StrangeDays said:Iterative improvement is innovation. This stuff doesn’t re-engineer itself, the 20% processing gains at 4 hours less energy consumption is the definition of innovation. Sorry, no new Triangle Phone shell design.
$400 for my X is an amazing trade-in. Better than gazelle and ebay. That makes my X only $600, over two years interest free. Only a fool would argue against that. (Can you even imagine a cheap chinese knockoff reselling for this via a trade-in!? Nope).
Carry on, Apple, carry on. -
Sales of iPhones down year-on-year despite popularity of iPhone XR in US
Yes those are good points...I do think there is plenty of room in the market for differentiation, despite it being mature these days. The iOS ecosystem is definitely sticky and has some very strong advantages for purchasers of the devices. I think the high price point of the iPhone may stand in the way, but if Apple gets aggressive, especially with trade-ins, they can keep chugging along.cgWerks said:
I always hear people say this, but I'm not sure what follows from that. Aren't cars commodities? Computers (traditionally)? That doesn't matter to Apple Macs or BMW, etc. There is always plenty of room in any mature market for quality and/or specialized variants, and people will pay more for them.Jeff_in_TX said:...
