I'm going to take a wild guess here that there's not going to be any new interesting features to the new iPhone.
My next phone is going to be a smasung for sure.

My Face ID works spotty...the phone size is great. So that’s what is setting off my Escort 360!! I knew it was phone related but wasn’t sure what exactly it was!!

Yes, but there will be a new gold color for the iphone X and the new shape for the Apple Watch.

iPhone 8 Logic Board Replacement Program
https://www.apple.com/support/iphone...ement-program/

Apple has determined that a very small percentage of iPhone 8 devices contain logic boards with a manufacturing defect. Affected devices may experience unexpected restarts, a frozen screen, or won't turn on. Apple will repair eligible devices, free of charge.

Affected units were sold between September 2017 and March 2018 in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Macau, New Zealand, and the U.S.

If your iPhone 8 has an eligible serial number, Apple will repair it, free of charge. Use the serial number checker below to see if your device qualifies for this program.

I'm very happy with the X. No home button has changed my life. Now, I have such an organic connection with the device. I can't even imagine, what it's like to click a home button to go forward or backwards. Absolutely love the X and it's rich UX. Highly recommend. Warren ain't stupid you know.

Ugh, my husband and I both hate our 6s models. Just not sure which to get....either the newer X or the 6.1” when they’re announced soon. I think the X Plus will be too large.

I have a 6s. I'm OK with it. No improvement apple's going to make is going to make me happy with it because they use the damn maps app on Apple Play and they don't allow Waze or Google Maps to show on my car dash.
Bigger screen, better resolution, better camera, a billion times faster processor - these things I could care less for.

I still have the iPhone 6 Plus. I agree. Nothing new. No need. But I will admit pretty soon we will all be in Fit Bit mode.

An X plus might be the game changer for me, I'm an android user but no-one does phone design like Apple.
The size of an 8plus but with a much bigger screen would be simply amazing. I watch a lot of videos on my phone so a beautiful screen is my n1 point of interest.

Big news: Apple Play will allow 3rd party apps (Waze, Google maps) on iOS 12.
Now I don't even need to get an Android replacement. I can still keep going with my 6S

You need to check out a Galaxy Note9, if you watch videos on your phone. The clarity and size is incredible. I find it quite ironic that Apple buys their OLED screens from who?...Samsung
And a 4000mah battery doesn't hurt either if you are on your phone constantly.

I’m re-thinking this and now contemplating the X Plus or X Max or whatever Apple calls the largest option! Will be keeping a close eye on Wednesday’s presentation!

So apart from the S on the name what’s the real difference between the X and XS I’m really struggling to find a worthy reason to change!

As an Apple user since the Macintosh grey box without internal memory, my thought is this,

The stock pile of Jobs genius is dwindling, corporate have to ration out any remaining brilliance in dribs and drabs to keep the apple mystique alive for as long as possible.

Yea, basically. Going from the X to XS doesn’t make much sense, but if you want a bigger phone, upgrading to the XS Max seems reasonable.

The naming convention is also terrible. XS Max sounds so lame lol.

I’m not tech savvy. I’m wondering the same. I’ve been holding out for a new phone to see what happened today. I currently have an 8. I’d like a bigger screen. I might just go with the X over XS. I’m not in a rush so maybe someone can enlighten us.

It has got to the stage when an iPhone can cost more than a Mac Book Pro.

Newer processor, newer water resistance

They will probably lower the price of the X when the new ones show up. From someone who upgrades most years, I'll probably skip it for now.
