At least with iPhones you're guaranteed a long spate of support.

Android phones drop support for new iterations way too fast.

The iPhone 11 Pro may be the weakest upgrade to date.

At least the Xs came with a Max version. I think the 11's improvements are all centered on the camera. Did they name one thing that was actually improved on that wasn't camera-related? Everything else seems bog-standard (improved FaceID, better battery life, improved performance, etc.).

Looks like the Pro/Max is to the XS/Max what the S9/S9+ was to the S8/S8+. Talk up the camera, incremental improvements for everything else. Can the iPhone do super-slo mo yet??

It's not bad per se, but just...boring.

The "Liquid Retina" display isn't bad. I've looked at it in Best Buy and compared to my Xs Max's OLED display it still holds up.

One thing you can't fault Apple for is engineering. They do a solid job on that front, by and large (aside from Bendgate...and Antennagate).

Google is so lucky that so few people are aware that Pixel's camera software can be installed on other Android phones, yielding the same or sometimes better results.

It's a bad year for phones and there's no much left to come. Just the iPhone 11, Pixel 4, OnePlus 7T series, and a Note 10+ 5G variant for indoor coverage that only T-Mobile will get.

2020 will bring a lot of nice things.

* Built-in 5G (standalone, low-band for indoor coverage, etc)
* Better prototypes for under-screen cameras and sensors
* More notchless ideas

Note 10+ basically has most of this, save for 5G.

The under-screen fingerprint scanner is much better than the S10's

It's going to take a long time to fix all the misinformation about 5G that Verizon forced on everyone. The assumption of shitty coverage only exists in the US. Europe and the rest of the world have 5G singals that can't be blocked by your hand, glass, or trees.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand why people are so obsessed with 5G. You can already stream 1080p 60fps video with 4G, and if you are really downloading that much stuff, your data plan will cap out quickly.

It's because it's like if you take 4g and increase the g by 25%! That's like a lot of extra g!

Every year we inch a little bit closer, always good to be future-proofed, especially when it comes to your town.

Some high-end phones have it already, it'll start trickling down to mid-range phones too but Apple is notorious about hanging back on emerging technologies. The same thing happened with the iPhone 4s skipping out on 4G support (didn't happen until the iPhone 5).

5G means ridiculously low latency, not just speeds. Remember how 3G and early 4G had fast speeds but awful response times?

And with respect to Apple not having 5G on the iPhone this year, they didn't have a choice. Nobody had a modem that could make it happen. Samsung, Intel, Mediatek, Qualcomm, HiSilicon, Huawei,etc. None have a 5G modem that can cover all of the signals, fit in a phone, come as a unified solution, and not kill the battery life. A 2019 iPhone 11 5G would have been a terrible, frankenstein solution.

Apple magic can only go so far and they're years aware from their own solution derived from Intel's. Until then, they're likely relying on Qualcomm.
