New IPHONE 12 soon to be announced

What are others hoping for in this new iPhone besides OLED and 5G..?

lol amen! I tried an iPhone a few years ago when the Samsung Note 7 debacle occurred. I lasted 2 weeks with that thing. I just can't grasp the fan fair.

It's interesting because Apple connoisseurs are a lot like people who can appreciate the Rolex brand as well. Just in the thinking.

I finished my MBA last year and I was in a class when the professor asked "how many people in here think iphones are too expensive?" and the entire group of 35 of us raised our hand. 100% of us said it is an overpriced product.

And then she asked "how many of you have an iPhone?" and everyone but me raised their hands.

There were other questions asked and this wasn't the point she was trying to make but I thought it was interesting and mentioned Apple does an amazing job with their branding.

I mean how does Apple manage to get a group of knowledgeable, intelligent, hard working people to say "this product is overpriced but I am going to knowingly and willingly overpay (significantly) for this product simply because of the brand"?

Normally if you took this group and told them they paid twice as much as everyone else for a comperable product, they'd be pissed.

At the very least you have to appreciate what they've done with branding alone.

Yeah, definitely, I use my Samsung to trim the hedges and to heat up my food. These phones are so good they do more than calling and texting.

And you’ll be glad to show us just how superior your Android phone is once you get the bugs out and can get it to boot up properly.

Fat chance.

This please. I don’t upgrade for exactly this reason. After the 7 it basically just turned into a cinder block without any significant bonus features.

I’ll have to look into those. I have an original se (iPhone 5 dimensions), and a 7, but they started growing so quickly after that I just stopped looking or paying attention.

Did you hear when the announcement is, did I miss that? I was surprised they didn’t announce it at the event last week. Since it wasn’t I wonder if it’ll be late October, if not November (if they haven’t said already).

5G is the only thing that really matters to me on the new phone. As my reliance on reading glasses increases the number of things I can do on my phone decreases.

As an iPhone 11 owner, I'll settle for a phone I can switch off without accidentally taking a screenshot.

I know. Easier said than done, though, especially if in a hurry. Seems to be a common issue.

Try volume up, volume down, then just the sleep /wake button. Good luck

Yes, you worked think they would have been able to come up with a better way.

Every time there is any discussion of a phone it has to turn into a debate of Android vs Apple. It’s tiring.
I couldn’t care less what anyone uses. My phone does way more than I need it to. Hope your as happy with yours as I am with mine, regardless of brand.

I appreciate your trying to keep it light. That’s not always the case and it’s only a phone. Now if it was Bills vs Tampa Bay, there’s an argument.
