      USB-C would be great–that proprietary charger is bullshit, yet one more proprietary charger to deal with is not a good consumer experience.

      Think it, be it.

        not looking forward to 5G as it's still very early stages and chews through data fairly quickly.. and i can be certain countries like australia will be late adopters. bear in mind that we have slower internet speed than most african 3rd world countries in africa.. tbh, i can't be arsed with usb-c as well. i've a usb-c to lightning and that's good enough for me as i can charge with that and connect it to my macbook with it..

        i've gotten a 11pro to replace my X. i used to use Plus phones but i didn't feel the need to go back to a bigger size this time as they're the same usage wise. unlike the past where plus phones had the extra camera.

        what i'd really love to see is a true dual sim like they sell in china. this time, i can't be arse trying to source one from china. i'd also love to see when they would introduce an under-screen touch ID in conjunction with face ID. i'm pretty happy with the current form. only thing i can see improve is a transparent screen like one of those tony stark has..

          I just got the 11 Pro and facial recognition is worth the price of entry. The fingerprint recognition never worked well for me since my hands are usually sweaty or dirty

          The camera is pretty impressive too. Took a photo of my dog in a dark room and it looks like a well lit photo

          Downgraded the size from the plus model (I had the 8 plus). I already carry so much shit with me I’m  trying to save on weight and pocket space

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            Interesting the growing trend for people to now opt for the smaller sizes…..

              yeah. that's quite

              i was gonna get the XS max (from china or hk) and upgrade from my X last year because of the 2 physical sim slots but decided against it and broke my yearly new iphone streak. However his year, i decided to stick with the 11pro size rather than the pro max because i felt comfortable and saw no reason to get a bigger phone. weirdly enough, i used to use the all Plus models from 6 onwards.. the 11pro has the bigger screen of the Plus models in a smaller packaging which to me is good enough..

                Question for you iphone experts, I have an iphone 7 and have been trying to update to OS13. Unfortunately, when I try to update/install I keep getting an error message and it won't let me follow through. Is it not updating because I have an older iphone or is it something simple like crappy wi-fi?

                  @gaseousclay Could be poor wi-fi signal. Are you connected to a charger when trying to do so?

                  The devil is in the detail..

                      good wifi and charger is a good way to update via phone. otherwise just plug it into your computer and update it from itunes/ finder (if you're on catalina already)

                                i gave up using the new music app awhile ago. it was easier popping up an older macbook to use itunes to sync folders of photos from my computer to my iphone..

                                    Im in the market to buy a new one–-but the whole 5G hype isn't enough to get me to get the 12.
                                    im looking hard at the 11 lately.
                                    I mean sure the cameras are always improving and im sure its great....but 5G isn't even available for my area yet...so that point is mute for me.

                                      well, if you were to get the new 12 with 5G, it will future proof your phone should 5G become available in the near future, especially if you're not the kind of person to upgrade every year.

                                      as for me, i upgrade yearly, the XS was the only year i skipped. i just can't decide this year if i should stick with the pro or go for the max and see what the sensor shift OIS is like. 5G is around the two countries i frequent most so that isn't really a discussion point for me. i will only get a 5G plan when i feel the prices are right..

                                        Since I usually hang on to mine more than a year, sometimes even longer if im happy with how things are running–--I will wait to hear more info from the people who will review theirs as they receive them.
                                        Have to agree though--the max might be super nice.

                                          i've gone from a normal size iphone to their plus and finally back down to the normal sized 11pro. actually got very used to the sizes of the X and 11pro. can't imagine going back bigger again…
