iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max announced (starting $699, $999, $1099 - Preorder Friday, ships Sept. 20th)
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
I think it's fine on the 11 for $699, but it's super egregious on the 11 "Pro" that costs over $1000, even worse that the upgrade costs a full $100.
Don't care about 5G, don't care about USB-C, and the notch doesn't bother me.
This thing looks like a good upgrade from my 8 Plus. Maybe in the new year.
Night Mode is probably my biggest thing.

Honestly, i've had my iPhone 8 for like two years now and I just checked, I use exactly half of my 64 gigs of storage.
What exactly are you people storing on your phones? I haven't felt storage space as a restriction since I got a decent data plan, stream everything and have terabytes+ of storage in the cloud.
So Pros don't have 128 GB models? Damn Apple why you gotta make me pay premium for storage like that!
Going from an 8 to an X is basically the same phone internally, so don't do that.
XS/XR will be a hardly quantifiable upgrade.
I'd replace the battery for $50 and wait it out another year.
Yeah, it's unacceptable for the Pro model. Imagine recording 4x 4k60 video streams to that 64GB. You'll be able to record like 25 minutes on a completely empty device.
That too. My wife is due for a new phone and I was excited to see what they'd roll out for these new models - I like pretty much everything about them other than the price for that base model. It's absurd.
I did not pay much more than that base Pro Max for a 512GB S10+, and it has expandable storage too (that I will probably never use, but still). She's still stuck in the Apple ecosystem, and the 11 Pro Max is a great looking, premium phone with a stupidly small amount of storage.
I'm sure Apple knows how many people are using 64gb on their phone...
I'd bet 90% of people with 64gb phones arent using all their space. I have kids and take pictures and videos all the time.. I have 16gb free. They arent going to do it just because.
Thats why they have all the money.

The 64GB base model is an old-school marketing trick. It allows them to advertise a relatively cheap price for the hardware. They don't even have a 128GB bump. For all intents and purposes the 256GB model is the true base. Smart as hell from Apple. They know how to make money. I bet they don't produce as many 64GB models compared to 256GB+. For folks serious about buying the Pro surely they realize 64GB is not suitable for the types of media they will be generating, especially if 4K video is involved.
i definitely think 64gb is enough for a phone, but i don't save media to my phone at all.
UK shafted again with a £49 price hike on the pros in comparison to last years model.
I'm sure the price has stayed the same in € markets and USA
Then again, who can blame them. Take advantage of the chaos here.

Lol yeah, 64GB basically renders entire selling point of the device useless
It's always kind of weird to me to see people so against expensive phones. I get that it's a lot of money, but there isn't any other product I've ever owned that I used more often or for more things. The value proposition even at twice the price is probably better than anything any of us have ever purchased.
I have a 64gb iPhone 8 Plus and have 13gb free. A 200gb iCloud drive might help. lol
i have a 64gb iphone xs max and literally never worry about storage at all
just checked and i still have 20gb available

I genuinely have no clue how these people fill up 64GB if they have a proper data plan.
there are other selling points, such as the gaming performance, etc... someone who just wants to play a few (mobile) games at their best [sic] will be in for a treat with the 64GB model.
I would think a new processor is the baseline I'd expect from a new iphone. I don't think that's necessarily something to bring up as an upgrade.
