Rumors point to a lower cost phone with a bigger screen than the current 5.8" iPhone X, meaning sub 1k.

This model might compromise in comparison to their more premium options with a less impressive screen & camera.

The follow up to the 5.8" dimension iPhone X is rumored to be priced somewhere around $100-200 cheaper than last generation.

We'll see.

I agree, they look like ear tampons. They should probably sell them in black or change the design.

And millions of hype beasts will eat this shit up.

I actually like the Apple look. I just ain't paying that kinda money for the Apple tax.

Even though Samsung is equally ridiculous now.

Most people buy the older generations anyway.

Fianc has a Series 3 LTE (I'm in the Samsung camp). She only really wears it when she works out.

They own the smartwatch market. It's not a big one, but they shipped more than any other smart watch in recent quarters.

Yeah I think it could be useful for keeping track of caloric burn. I don't really trust just plugging in how many situps I've done or whatever to calculate burn accurately so I don't even bother with it when tracking my intake. Dunno if it's worth it though.

This is the single most important thing about smartwatches. Battery life should've been the first thing they improved. My Gear S3 gives me 4 days.

I tend to put everything on charge every night as a habit. I guess it would be nice not plugging on extra thing in if I was looking at owning one, but really it's not a total deal breaker.

Yeah, I guess your use case will determine if it's good or not.

I say, the less things I charge daily, the better.

Totally made up number considering OLED technically has no measurable contrast. Or infinite, depending on how you want to talk about it.

Bullshit. You clearly don't know the difference between standby and usage time. The S3 battery is definitely better, but it's rated only 50% more. Not 400%.

512GB is pretty nice but with the prices Apple tends to charge for increased storage capacity it is actually usually a better idea to pay for iCloud storage at $3/mo. I'll be surprised if that's not the case this time around.

we've had 90Hz AMOLED VR screens for so long I assumed we'd be able to do 120Hz already

although I guess there isnt a reason to build that, since no one seems to give a shit
