Fat chance.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Till using my 7 which I purchased shortly after they were released. I use my iPhones till they start to have issues.

But, if I needed a new iPhone, I would go with the best available in a small size. The large one's just don't do it for me.

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

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.

I'm hoping for something low tech but seemingly unobtanium...a screen that is less prone for cracking or breakage.

Agreed - it’s fantastic. Definitely will probably make the switch to the new one when it comes out.

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

Well, we can only sit and wait for the almighty iPhone 12 to arrive. Hopefully it’s not any bigger in weigh than the 11 pro max.

only had my 11 pro max for about 6 weeks now and really like it too. At first I was lost without the home button but that didn't take long to get use to..
