Wait wait wait. They finally went full width with that goddamn camera bump, a move that could radically improve the physical user experience by finally allowing this thing to rest evenly on a flat surface. Then, they put another set of camera bumps on the camera bump to ensure that it never does this. Honestly, this is like an elaborate, slow rolling practical joke at this point.

A camera bump in a camera bump is definitely a choice.

How much they charging for the Trump dick sucking model?

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 days ago

That's every Apple product... Then again that's nearly every large, American tech company...

Ike it or not, and for the record I don’t, the price for that model is “the same as last year”.

I would be more interested in a budget-camera option if it meant price reduction and no bump. If that were also the one not solely marketed in the hands of 22-year-old fashionistas, all the better.

We have the same complaint lol. I’d buy the base iPhone if it had the same processing power as the Pro, and that’s exactly what I did with the 12 generation.

Whole lot of nothing

So they went back to aluminum eh? The cheaper an weaker material is going bring the cost down, right? Right?

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Titanium was always a bad choice for thermals. Now they have the Air as the princess phone and the Pros look designed to perform not to look, seems like.

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 4 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Aluminium is much lighter than titanium, so these phones will at least be lighter right?

The metal frame is a tiny fraction of the overall cost.

The improved camera and battery life are both very welcome. As a parent, I’ll take all the camera improvements I can get!

Normally I wouldn’t upgrade yet but if I give my teen my 15Pro and pick up a new 17Pro, then migration to USB-C is complete. That also gives the entire family hardware that should support aApples upcoming ai features

I know the camera bumps have been getting bigger over time, but this is just too much. These are definitely the ugliest iPhones ever released.

[–] TheSaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Honestly i kinda like it, looks neat. Not that i’d ever buy one but looks neat.

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't think it's pretty, but it does have way more "personality" in its design than any iphone before. I prefer that over pretty

The iPhone X and XS are the ones I think looked the best

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Orange Pro instant buy. Those cameras are really promising, battery life looks to be impressive and thermals well managed. My iPhone XS can retire peacefully.
