I will bet this new model does amazing things that have never been seen before! This is going to be super super cool and i am going to wait in a very long line to get one. It will totally be worth it when I can show it off and people will be able to recognize it since it will be very different from all the other models.

Don't forget to throw away your old model! Smash it on the ground and grind it to pieces with your heel so you can truly experience the exclusivity of a brand new Apple iPhone!
I’d recommend trading it in instead. You’ll get more private sale, but Apple still has a pretty competitive trade in model.
So they went back to aluminum eh? The cheaper an weaker material is going bring the cost down, right? Right?
Aluminium is much lighter than titanium, so these phones will at least be lighter right?
I'm sorry to have to disappoint you. It keeps getting heavier (and larger).

The metal frame is a tiny fraction of the overall cost.
Titanium was always a bad choice for thermals. Now they have the Air as the princess phone and the Pros look designed to perform not to look, seems like.
Wait wait wait. They finally went full width with that goddamn camera bump, a move that could radically improve the physical user experience by finally allowing this thing to rest evenly on a flat surface. Then, they put another set of camera bumps on the camera bump to ensure that it never does this. Honestly, this is like an elaborate, slow rolling practical joke at this point.
A camera bump in a camera bump is definitely a choice.
The lenses already protruded like this. They use more real estate inside the device now, though, and it rolls less than before. An improvement is there :)
Yo dawg….
I upgraded to a 16 Pro Max from an XS Max last year, and this announcement is really ensuring that I made the correct decision. It looks like a fine phone, but the cameras and battery life and speed of the 16 pro max are already insane.
I’m waiting for a watch announcement though, I’d love to finally upgrade my Series 0 that I’ve had forEVER to whatever last year’s model is for cheap.
I’d love to finally upgrade my Series 0
How's the battery life holding up on that?
Whole lot of nothing
I hated the previous Aluminum unibody designs and I hate the new one as well.
Orange Pro instant buy. Those cameras are really promising, battery life looks to be impressive and thermals well managed. My iPhone XS can retire peacefully.
Do people still care about iphones?
What does that tell you about Gen Z?
that they like the iphone
it’s not hard to read words (for most of us)
Sure, sure. My bad, it’s only in the US.
I mean they are the superior product
Once unofficial android sideloading gets blocked, yeah.
You ask, in a community called “apple enthusiast” like a donkey
I get why they're getting downvoted for the way and place they asked the question, but isn't it kind of valid? All phones coming out these days are minor, incremental upgrades that are pretty much last year's phone with 5% extra performance. I actually peeked at this because my old OnePlus is starting to show signs it's ready for retirement and I'm thinking of (gasp) having an apple device of some sort due to some apps I could use for work only being available on iOS, but otherwise I don't think most people are excited for new phone releases anymore.

Can't they just remove the battery completely at this point and require it to be charged 100% of the time? It's not like it would change much.

I know the camera bumps have been getting bigger over time, but this is just too much. These are definitely the ugliest iPhones ever released.
Honestly i kinda like it, looks neat. Not that i’d ever buy one but looks neat.
