There’s no such a thing as brand new design in Apple dictionary. They all look the same. They just recycle the same designs over and over with minor tweaks. I will only say it’s brand new design if they actually come out with something so revolutionary and they don’t need to sabotage other brands like huawei for it. XD

There won't be anything revolutionary with phone designs unless you go for the folding ones or the one like the LG Wing.

And, in Apple's dictionary, they're all brand new designs, hahaha!

dunno i'm coming from iphone7... so it's time for me to upgrade...
although i hope for the price range to drop since they drop the charger and earpods... they said the box will be super slim...

I still remember drooling over the Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus when it launched laugh.gif

I think we’re looking at the same prices as the 11 series - the lack of charger and earphones means that price won’t go up rather than go down smile.gif

Yes. I still remember the queue for 4/4S and 5 so long even when we were getting two months later than US.

Queue vanish for the 6 onwards.

Same here, I was also in the queue for iPhone 4 in the Gardens with maxis and I remember not being able to buy the 6 Plus till January coz maxis got no stocks laugh.gif

The innovation has been coming from Samsung, Huawei and the likes from the East side of the world for the longest time.
Apple just had a lot of hardcore fans and America protecting the brand. If you put Android into the Apple Phones, they would have lost the competition a long long time ago.

Whether or not Apple gives 120hz screen on their latest phones doesn't matter, for as long as I could remember, hardware wise other manufacturers have always been miles ahead. *shrug* So even if they put in 120hz now, so many other parts of its hardware are still lacking behind. Their only strength is to keep and safeguard the software (ios) close to their hearts so that nobody can mess with it and adjust to their own wills whereas Android is open source. free for all to test and use and customise.

"hardware wise other manufacturers have always been miles ahead."

Wow, your bias against Apple is next level. Makes me wonder why you'd buy an iPhone 11 Pro laugh.gif

I use both Android and Apple and I believe both can exist at the same time and we as consumers are the ultimate winners. I don't necessarily compare between the both coz you really can't - you are absolutely right about the one thing that sets Apple apart - software. All Apple users who are integrated and invested in the ecosystem won't switch, or even if they do, it'll be tough and 9 out of 10 they might switch back.

So for me, there really is no value in an iPhone vs Android argument in terms of hardware specs, camera innovations, etc. Enjoy the best of both worlds!

haha. My other half works in Apple software development, so i also heard a lot of shit going on as well in their software. They just keep it hush hush, that's why it's a closed model.
I only changed because like i said i was using Samsung for the last 5 years, wanted something new and refreshing (but kinda regretting it now).

Anyway, you answered your own question - software. And i also like flagship phones with flat screen.  whistling.gif

But to be honest, Huawei got kicked out of the market is a huge blow towards all consumers. For one thing, Samsung now monopolizes the android market. And also, Apple is benefiting from this (insider's market research info). When Huawei and Samsung were competing with each other, they had to be so creative and innovative and people who have been using Apple might be tempted to actually switch to Huawei or Samsung just because they could offer so much more in hardware and software too. Now it's just Samsung and Apple. So they literally can sell subpar things and market it at the highest prices because now they are kings.

Welcome to capitalism i guess.  rclxub.gif

Ahh, OK. No wonder smile.gif

Yeah, I just finished a month’s stint with the Mate 30 Pro, if it wasn’t for the crippling trade war, Samsung and Apple would have been overtaken by Huawei by now. Anyways, that’s a discussion for a different thread.

The new package is really thin, exquisite and like an “artwork“.

The box is rumored without charging brick and Earpods. Only cable - rumored to be USB-C.

I foresee the trolls and memes incoming from the other camp... only to follow suit a couple of years later... just like the removal of the 3.5mm jack laugh.gif

Same price as 11 Pro, but double the base storage. Ok Apple, take my money.

Food for thought, can we sell our used sets now without the earpods and charger citing the same reasons Apple is giving for not including them in their latest iphones. Hey, I still want an original charger and earpods for my coming 12. hmm.gif
Its all about the moneh..... nod.gif
*
All my previous iPhones were sold with the accessories untouched anyways so it doesn't affect me as much as I have my own charger and cable. So yeah, I'm probably in the minority group that doesn't think this move from Apple is a bad move, if you consider the spike in prices of so-called 5G phones like the S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, etc. So sacrificing a couple of accessories (probably worth RM200) while keeping the prices the same as last year (in fact, the base Pro models get double the storage for the same price) is acceptable for me.
