The real question is how a 'premium' phone in 2018 has trouble handling that.

Apple "Gather Round" Live Event (1PM EST): iPhone Xs, Xs Max, Xr, Apple Watch 4, oh my!

Someone is new to Apple. Quick, there's a whole macbook line to compare as well.
I still have a 6S and after today, I'm gonna keep it another year. Why not just get a $29 battery?
I don't know whether Apple should be ashamed of themselves for putting such a bad screen on the XR or proud that millions of people are going to pay $750 USD for a phone with that bad of a screen.
Did they change the bottom grills or was it like that in the X as well?
Checked some pics online, it's definitely different. The X and the new Xr has symmetrical bottoms just like all previous models after 7.
Wait. They killed off all stainless steel Series 3 models? So maybe I don't have to take such a huge loss on it.
Also, 40mm stainless steel Series 4 watch's are $700? Dafuq.

Sure...but also why should it need to? I've got much more need for audio space on my phone but 30,000 photos? I listen to music and audio books all the time but how often are you looking at a giant library of photos on our phone?
Yeah, and discontinued classic leather ones :( And also made it practically impossible to use the existing classic leather ones on the gold SS model, as I think the current silver lugs will look like crap on it. I was dead-set on the getting the gold SS models, but it will render most of the straps I like practically unusable, and they don't offer suitable replacement either.
Lol, give me an example. This is actually something I don't like about iOS - too inefficient in OS navigation.
Sorry, I don't bench race phone specs. I had a Samsung once, and that was enough. I will either pay a premium for Apple or stick with cheaper Androids. Both give a better long-term experience than Samsungs.
Math is hard. $1100 - 839 = $260.
I will pay Apple Tax for a phone that looks better, has better software features.
Huh good catchDid they change the bottom grills or was it like that in the X as well?
On it.
Their phones weren't as absurdly over-priced in comparison to their competition a couple years ago. Biggest difference was like 100-200$ tops. This is just insane.
I do feel like outside the price being somewhat high the XR is getting a bad rap.
It's the same internals as the XS (unless the XS has more RAM, haven't seen those specs). Bigger screen than the base XS.
I think I'm talking myself into it?
I need to see hands on impressions first to know exactly how the screen is. I don't think I'll care coming from a 7+?

I used this https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/
For me, and with how I use my iphone, I think the 8 is a better deal.
Come on now. You know the Apple products end up winning the real world speed tests with their specs.
Surprised Apple didn't decrease the price of the X line by $100. The XR is a good alternative and most the colours are nice. The XS Max has a huge screen. The Apple Watch 4 changes are awesome, too bad the stainless steel versions are expensive. I'll only be getting a watch (have the X and a Watch Series 0 right now).
It's automatically a bad screen because you don't like the resolution? The thing is going to look better than any LCD they've put on an iPhone. On top of that, you're getting crazy good battery life because it's not needlessly high resolution.
Resolution isn't everything and as someone using an 8 with the same PPI it really isn't an issue.
I don't think he actually knows that. I'm assuming he is trying to talk about 6GB RAM vs 4GB RAM (across completely disparate hardware/OS platforms) or things that Apple has intentionally moved away from (3.5mm jack, fingerprint sensor), or things that don't make sense in a phone (heart rate sensor).
I think I'm just gonna pay Apple to replace the battery in my iPhone 7. I saw nothing that was worth 1100 dollars.
120Hz touch sampling. NOT screen refresh. (you are not the first to be confused)
Depends on the benchmark, you're looking at but I agree the Xs will probably stomp it.
Both phones will be really fast in real life usage.
Disagree all you want, but the average joes i'm seeing are needing more than 64gb as time goes on. This is everyday at work.
I am getting tired of the small size as well
I do want a bigger phone
I can definitely make this last another year, but I was hoping to upgrade this time around.
the problem is people see numbers and assume. Yeah it was like this with the X (120Hz sampling) and the updated iPad 10.5 (240Hz Pencil sampling). I mean... I don't think apple is trying to deceive... but it can definitely be confusing.
Smaller notch (not completely gone), USB C, and no 120hz
also storage bump is a maybe
well I guess I'm in for:
64gb space gray iPhone Xs
44mm Apple Watch cellular
this is probably the least enthusiastic I've ever been about a new iPhone

Trends in the industry lead me to believe that the most significant changes we'll see in these phones for the next 2-4 years will revolve around their cameras and AR.
I think Apple pursuing AR sets the stage for them a decade from now once wearable tech becomes a more plausible reality.
I want fingerprint recognition in the screen but all the 2019 rumors aren't pointing to that
also a merging of iOS and MacOS, so I can ditch my macbook and just use a iPad Pro
Bummer. Not that a slider would get me to upgrade my iPhone X--this year, my wife and I are finally moving on from series 0 watches--but that's too bad.
I was actually thinking of skipping this year until I read about that. Imagine not even having to carry two phones anymore.
When I saw it said "120hz" I thought... yes finally! Phones are now getting it. But alas I saw "Touch sensing" and oh.... Oh well, I just upgraded to a Note 9 a few days ago anyways. It's a great phone. I'll maybe try iPhones some day, today is not the day.
