    WTF is Apple doing? This new phone lineup makes absolutely no sense to me at all.  Dropped the SE (now there is no small option), kept the 7/7+, kept the 8/8+, new Xr, then Xs and Xs Max.  

    First - Why bother keeping the 7 Series? Just for the low price point? People that buy the lower price point usually also want a smaller phone.

    Second - Why introduce the Xr at all when they are still keeping both the 8 Series and the 7 Series?   

    Third - The Xs and Xs Max are the only ones that actually make sense.  

    Apple's new lineup is just ridiculous now with way too many options.  They should have reduced it to: Xs/Xs Max, 8/8+, and SE-style size with updated internals.  

    I think I'm just going to hold on to my 7 until it dies; I'm not interested in any of these new phones.
    Apple got rid of the 7 Plus and 8 Plus. It’s the 7, 8, XR, XS and XS Max. And yes the 7 and 8 still exist for price reasons. My guess is the SE is gone because there’s just not a big enough market for smaller phones.
    Also from what some developers are saying (Marco Arment for instance), it's getting increasingly hard to make an app that looks good on both an iPhone X screen and a small iPhone SE screen.  I think they're ready for the old 4" screens to go away for good.

    One big MEH!!! So disappointing!!!!
    Maybe your expectations are unreasonable?
    That’s very little innovation or progress from the iPhone X to this, to upgrade from my x to any of these phones is disappointing for this price. Apple even knew it was less innovative since they spent a good amount of time talking about environmental friendly parts rather than amazing new features. 
    It's the "s" cycle upgrade, what on earth did you expect?  Since when is the year after a major upgrade a time with huge new innovations?  It's almost always just a spec bump in the chip, RAM, cameras, etc.  This year they also added two new screen sizes in this new X form factor.  Then 2 years after the new form factor is introduced you see the next "major" upgrade.

    Where have all of the reasonably sized phones gone? I don't want to carry an iPad in my pocket.  Guess my 5se will have to soldier on some more.  Same with my iPad mini.
    The largest one (the Max) is the same size as an iPhone 8 Plus.  And the regular 7 and 8 are still available.  But, yes, the SE is about to go bye bye.

  • Facebook pulls Onavo Protect from App Store after Apple finds it violates privacy policy [...

    I used Onavo on occasion several years ago. Deleted the app the second I found out Facebook bought it. Not everyone follows tech news though and some might have kept using it because it was familiar.
