I'm gonna step down from the XS Max to 11. I'll miss the OLED screen a little bit but the smaller size, aluminum band with better signal reception, and all the new features I care about make it a decent upgrade for a cheaper price. The pro is uglier and I'll never use the camera features enough to be worth it. The 11 has the ultrawide lens, night mode, and improved FaceID.

I really like the series 5 watch though. Gonna sell my series 4 and upgrade, I might upgrade to the cellular model

 

I didn't see the option to put the new phone on my Apple Card during the pre order process...

 

I called Apple and got it sorted out. I had to cancel my preorder redo it. If you go into the Apple Wallet app you can view the Apple Card 16 digit number, CVV, and exp, I was able to manually enter that in and it works. Not as seamless as I expected, I thought there'd be a use Apple Pay button or something like that, that's what threw me off, that and the fact that there's no 16 digit code on the physical card.

 

 

Trying to decide if I want to stick with the regular pro or go back to a big phone for $4 more.

 

Big one! Do it!

That extra battery life would be amazing.

 

I couldnt go back to a non plus (max)

 

Did the previous phones's prices decrease?

 

XS and XS Max are currently $100 off new

Here's an FAQ I did on the Macrumors.com forums for preordering and various other crap re: iPhone purchases, financing, etc.

 

I did. I went from a 6plus to a 7plus to a X and and Xs. But it was a smaller phone with a bigger screen.
But I’d like the bigger screen now. And I think it’s better for typing. I just don’t want the extra size again but I think I’d get used it again.

 

You will get used to the Max size quickly.

 

Yeah I did it.

11 Pro MAX, Midnight Green, 256gb

 

So what are you selling Whiskers

 

 

whatever it is, i'm buying !

 

 

I have a silver 256 unlocked XS Max in pristine shape with Apple care till September 2020 and a crap load of cases including a few Apple ones and the Apple battery case. I am thinking $900

I have a 44 Series 4 aluminum in space gray with cellular in good shape. Some very minor scratches on the display (which seems to be normal for the aluminum models. I'm thinking $200

I would do $1000 for both.

 

Maybe. I'm still fighting with myself

 

.

 

I am waiting for the benchmarks to go public.

On the face of it, I am not seeing a reason to upgrade unless the A13 blows it out of the water with benchmarks.

Although I believe Apple’s statements, I want to see it in black and white from testers.

Without a significant performance improvement, the changes they have made are not drawing me in.

My XS Max with smart battery is strong enough that I now go almost everywhere without my MacBook.

 

I still have 220 GB free out of 256.

Even when somebody defies protocol and makes me read a huge document all in one file, it is only a temporary situation and I delete the file after approving it.

Big photos and permanently necessary files are on iCloud and even big files on my iMac can be retrieved that way.

If you’re somebody who needs a thousand photos on your phone, or you value the excellent photographic capabilities to the point that you use your iPhone professionally for that, I understand.

But I do not believe that Apple is off the mark suggesting that most of us do fine with 64 GB.

 

This is the week where I fight with myself.

 

I wouldn't expect a "blow it out of the water" benchmark. Apple was quoting the largest battery gain in iPhone history in their keynote. That leads me to believe the A13 is developed specifically to be more power efficient than the A12, not necessarily that much faster.

 

 

They also increased their battery size (in mah) by a lot. 5-20% depending on the model.

Twitter

 

Its more about the camera improvements than anything.

And thats all I really care about at this point until they do something really “new” for phones in general.

 

Like that really needed fixing?

 

I lost..., Easy to loose when the wife’s car needed $700 worth of unexpected repairs. Never buying Subaru again!

 

Well, I'm just fine waiting a year. :-)

I think.

I admit I've said that before.

 

Subaru are rated pretty highly. I mean I could say I'm never buying another Dodge again after my car needed some unexpected out of warranty fixes. But I called HQ...opened a ticket and they helped out. And then the dealer helped out further. So...its car, shit happens, cost of doing business. Unless you got a lemon in need of constant repairs.

And.....grammar nazi must speak up....LOOSE.....LOSE......LOOSE......LOSE......

 

 

Ordered

 

Yeah, I ordered a one of each (11 Pro Silver and 11 Pro Max Silber) but i'm going to cancel one of them.

I haven't decided which, though.

 

I still havent ordered

 

Dat green tho. Still getting a Max, just too used to the size.

 

I'm still thinking that I will not. First time since, what...I think 2009?

I said that I would not order last year, but then the multi-SIM support big screen Max, and extra T-Mobile bands won me over.

This is the most likely year ever that I will not order.

They need to hurry up with the real tests, and then I'll know for sure. :-0

 

Need to take drunk 4k "slofie" videos. That alone sold me.

 

I’m saving my money. My 7 Plus still does everything I need.

 

Cheap ass
