1st year I never wanted to upgrade my iPhone.... :-(

[Craig]

I always have an open back case like the rhinoshield on my phone. I’m extremely disappointed at how terrible the leather cases look online with the gigantic camera cut out. They should be at least 25 percent cheaper with all the missing material!

Not a huge fan of the dice sized chunk-o-camera, but not a fan of the notch... but admit it bothers me less than I thought it would. I don't really see the back of my phone, so I could live with he open camera. I just wish the camera was enough of a reason. None of the reasons really affect the way I use my phone enough to care. But been thinking about a MacBook Pro 15, so maybe will do that... who knows.

I’m still holding onto my 2012 MacBook Pro. Just replaced the HDD cable and upgraded the ram. It’s a shame you cannot fix stuff on them anymore otherwise I would have upgraded this year. Holding onto this one until it dies.

I’m upgrading from the X. My battery just isn’t what it used to be. I would simply get it replaced, but I’m also ready to go back to a larger form factor. Before I got the X I had the Samsung Note line, then the iPhone + line. I agree with you all that are putting off the upgrade if you got a Xs, just as last year I didn’t see a need to upgrade from my X at that point. I think I’m comfortably in an every other year upgrade cycle with both my phone and my Apple Watch, staggering the years. I get a new toy every year regardless .

I said if they went to USB-C, it was a definite yes for an upgrade this year from my X. While I’m disappointed with lightning another year, the battery life has got me thinking. My battery health is down to 87%. With the additional battery in the new phones, it’s something I need to consider. My phone is a necessity for my job.

My only concern is if 5G is introduced next year. It seems that networks are slower than what I had expected for upgrades. I’ve kind of into this every other year for phones. Definitely have some thinking to do.

Have you checked on the price for a battery replacement for your X? That might be an option to hold you over until next year.

87% is not bad at all. Certainly not a reason to upgrade. My first 6s Plus was at 68% before I took it in. It should last you another year easily.

I haven’t seen the keynote yet but I have the basics so far. I’ll be waiting till next year. I love my max!

 

[Mr Segundus]

Yeah, this year was kinda lackluster. I've purchased every iPhone since the iPhone 6 and I just don't feel the need to get this year's model.

 

[John Polak]

I'm sitting this one out as well. I'll keep my XS Max for another year. I might pickup a new watch as I have a series 3 still.

 

[C6TX6]

12MP and f1.8, really??!
Would not worry about 5G.
It's not even going to be relevant in 2020 TBH.

 

[flyinion]

I'm doing it just because it's been 2 years since my X. I skipped last year because it wasn't enough, this year I do see some stuff. Especially that battery on the Max which I want to go back to the "plus" size. There's been a lot of nice stuff about going with the 5.8" size on the X, but there's still times where I wish I had just a bit more screen so I'm going back to the larger phone. Or, that's the plan right now at least.

 

[camaroz1985]

Going to skip this year, and maybe next year too. Both my wife and I are soldiering on with the X.

 

[ezeuzo1]

What has become apparent to me now is that Apple is basically keeping the same design every two-three years. So probably next year or the year after for me

 

[ladyc0524]

I’m sitting this one out as well. My Xs Max is just fine for my needs. I’ll see what the 2020 iPhones are about next year.

 

[Dgray2712]

I’ve decided to wait for the moment. Decided to upgrade my iPad instead.

 

[Annie_M]

I am planning on waiting until the 2020 models, but I want to be clear- it's not because I don't like the new line of phones (the 11, 11Pro and 11 Pro-Max), because I really do like them a lot. June is when I can upgrade, so the timing makes it seem wiser to wait until September

 

[Wotchered]

No need for me to upgrade from my XS, I don’t use the camera much anyway so spending a grand plus for 4 hours extra battery life seems excessive !
Plus I can’t have a phone that is not black !!

 

[Craig]

... sad, this is the first year in a while I feel sad about the new iPhones / Watches. :0(

This makes sense.

Pretty boring unless you’re into cameras, then I could see upgrading if you really want.
Sorry, they’re not getting my money this year.
