I would like the entire screen to be made out of gorilla glass.

No more phone cases or screen protectors!

Never use or used screen protector and my phones still look quite minxish. Yes on a case but really not needed if careful with the phone..

I think we may see a new Apple TV as well. I bet they will try to take some of the thunder out of the new Xbox and PS5, and position the Apple TV as a capable gaming option.

Yup, it'll be their best iPhone yet with the fastest chip in the company's celebrated history. The new iPhone will allow you to enjoy incredible new features they know Apple users will love. The new sleek style and vibrant screen is matched by the best cameras Apple has ever offered. I know you'll agree, it's the best Apple product you'll want to have.

PS: Tracking you comes standard as does forced 30% taxation of app developers. Sideloading and paying within an app directly to the developer is strictly forbidden as just because you purchased the phone, you do not 'own' it to make decision about loading apps outside Apple's approved paywall and app environment. Other additional taxes and fees will be automatically charged to your Apple account, especially if you want to expand storage. Apple demands you only allow certified repair centers they have approved to repair your device. While Apple may cripple your device without you knowing or asking you, they are doing it to 'help you'.

Hopefully they will be less slippery than some of the current models.

They are like polished bars of soap to hold onto sometimes.

I will definitely be watching the virtual keynote next Tuesday.

My almost 4 year old 7+ is still ticking away, but who knows, might just upgrade to a 12 Pro Max ��*♂️��*♂️

I get a new one every 2 years as I can just expense it.
11 pro max is fine for now. I’m not sure I want the 5g “upgrade” as I’ve heard it is rough on battery life, but in another 12-18 months I’ll probably have to see what the hype is all about.

A small size so I can don't need a wheelbarrow to haul it around.

This entire release is a flop for me if no 120hz screen, practically the same as the 11 Pro Max. Would advise anyone to wait another year if not necessary as it will definitely come then as competitors already have it. If anybody has used an iPad Pro then you know how much better this is for even basic stuff.

Good to know though I'm on an older iPhone X so still worth the update for me and the 5G.

Yep - I've heard that this new iPhone 12 will NOT be coming with the 120hz refresh rate screen either.

I LOVE it on my 12.9" iPad Pro. Fantastic tablet that I use every single day. My co-worker just picked up a Galaxy 20 Ultra and the camera on that is fantastic. The screen on it is also a 120Hz and WOW is it amazing.

Things I would like to see ( but probably won't until the next gen iPhone )

- The stupid notch gone ( highly unlikely )
- 120Hz screen ( unlikely )

That's pretty much it. If they can do those two things, I would be sold.

Yeah they can’t hold out past next year due to competitors already pushing it out. Multiple sources already said it was slated this year anyways but run into production issues. I’m definitely stressing to hold out for anybody who has a phone which is fine if you only upgrade every few years anyways. 120 makes everything so so smooth, it’s incredible.

And yeah, the no notch is still highly discussed, kind of makes no sense not to at least minimize its largeness by now.

from the time the new phones are announced, how long before you can buy one and have it shipped or picked up..? Does this happen as soon as they are announced..?

It's usually a few weeks.

Agree with Dmash.
Used to pro-motion on my Ipad Pro.
Not having that on the new Phone might be a deal breaker for me.
It really makes a difference experience

The processor on this thing, A14, is unreal if the leaks are true (maybe it is off a benchmark from an air? idk).

Intel won't just be facing competition from AMD. I think A14/A14X will eat up almost every intel mobile chip except maybe the highest binned ones like BR posted on his MSI.

It sounds like they are focusing on processor and 5g. The processor is much more powerful than I thought it would be. It is a huge jump.
