I keep telling myself that I am going to switch to the pixel 3 but every time I hear about the x plus I hesitate. The x is a decent phone but it's too small for me.

I feel like 6.5 in is just too big for a phone. My 5.5 in Galaxy S7 Edge barely fits in my pocket as it is, and never comfortably fits inside it.
I feel the same way.

The OnePlus 5T I picked up is 6" and it will be the largest phone I'll ever buy. Glad to see multiple devices across a bunch of sizes though.

People waiting for a new SE will be waiting a long time. Mark Gurman said previously there is no new SE in the works at this time. The 6.1 inch LCD iPhone is the closest we will get to a follow up to the SE.

I guess I can't tell from the pictures.

Are these going to have glass backs that are basically impossible to replace?

I wonder if iPhone 9 will be the last iPhone from the classic line.

And from now on we will get yearly refreshes with the same iPhone X name like every other Apple product.

I have a iPhone X now, if they don't bring back Touch ID then I don't see a reason for me to upgrade. There is always a "special" feature exclusive to that year so I wonder what they will talk about this year.

does anyone know how more powerful A12 will be compared to the PS3/ Xbox 360?

The current A11 and actively cooled A10X (apple TV 4K) can already do PS3/360 and even Switch level graphics, but you don't see examples very often. This is because the market dynamics of the app store disincentivized devs from making traditional AAA full price games because nobody is going to buy them. So it's just freemium and ~1.99 stuff.

That being said, the new Asphalt game looks really good.

Man I used to be all about large phones, but the iPhone X is literally the perfect form factor. No other phone has ever felt as good in the hand and been as intuitive to use.

This might be the first year in a while where I don't get a new iPhone. I guess only thing that might get me to re-consider is if they make a huge improvement to screen brightness.

Are those...USB-C ports??!

That would be reason enough to upgrade from my 2017 iPhone X to the X2 as I love the formfactor and size for my gorilla hands.

I'm calling extreme BS on "No 3D Touch" for the LCD model.
Copying and pasting my previous response since you didn't read it.

The 6.1 Inch iPhone 9 is using "Cover Glass Sensor" (CGS) technology, the touch panel is effectively the surface glass instead of being a display panel. You can't have 3D touch with this tech. The 6.1 Inch display is the same as the LG G7 uses so people have a good idea 3D touch won't work.

The loss won't be a problem software-wise, iOS 12 is compatible with phones that don't have 3D touch so it makes sense to ditch it to save costs.

I don't like how the iPhone 9 has such a large screen, but there is no option for a smaller device unless you pony up for the iPhone X. My iPhone 7 is already pushing it for me because I can't reach all four corners with my thumb and one-handed typing is rough.

Most likely getting the updated X. Interested in the X Plus but I think it will be too big.

Also interested to see how the budget X is handled.

I'm guessing the X will be called XI as in 11?

Won't have to wait much longer. Perfect timing too since I get paid 3 times in August.

I'm surprised so many people are excited for the X Plus. I'll be upgrading from a 7+ and can't wait to have a phone with a smaller screen, I don't get the hype at all.

Moving from the 7 Plus to the X was perfect. Finally having a phone that's comfortable to hold and only gave up a slight amount of horizontal screen real estate

They're decent looking, but they just look like more iPhones. And that's fine.

I'm not willing to spend $800-1000 just for a top of the line phone, when I hardly use the phone I have and don't need a lot of power or great specs. When my current phone contract is over this winter, I will probably just upgrade to whatever 'free' iPhone they'll offer me. Hopefully it'll be a 7, or better (but probably now). Who knows.

That means the missus will be switching to Android this year, and I very much doubt she ever returns to the iPhone fold.

Such an odd decision for them to make.

I'll probably hold onto my 7 for another year but I'm curious to see how they'll name the new iPhones this year.

I already feel uncomfortable using the plus phones of now, I can't imagine having to use a 6"+ sized screen.

Think I'll go with the smaller X.

If Apple resets the numbering with "X2" and "X2 Plus" I'm gonna scream

Considering it's pronounced "ten", not "ecks", I don't see them doing that. Or at least "the new iPhone Ten" is more likely than "Ten Two".

I will be annoyed with the increasing size changes though. My 6 is already slightly bigger than ideal.

What does it do better outside of the camera?

Wake up people. It's the same shit they sold you before .A sharper screen and better camera is not a reason the throw your money at Apple .

You could say that about every phone at this point.
