What do you think the next iPhone will be called? 9?
And what features? I expect band 71 to be added (600 MHz). Even better camera?
Every iPhone 9 comes with a free copy of Windows 9?
Not sure about Apple's naming but I would think a 9 numbers to be the under $1000 model and the X, XI, XII etc to be the fancy model above $1000. To include a new Plus model that is wider for full 16x9 screen size.
A agree that with all the bitching about the notch it will be eliminated. Funny, because I understand from an Apple store salesman that you have the option in the phone to reduce the screen size to that of the smaller iphone and add full black bars left and right. This effectively eliminates the notch but also reduces the overall screen size. All the notch reviews out there now are based on Apple bashing ignorance, since that phone has not been released to any reviewer yet. Personally, as an Apple stock holder, I wish Apple would stop releasing review models to hostile media. All it does is tank the stock price and historically, has not affected sales growth one bit. The only reason I can see for Tim Cook to do that is because he wants the stock to tank so he can do better buybacks. Sneaky but has shown to make Apple quite a bit of hidden profit. Me, I just have to stomach the loos on the books until it recovers. Holding for now.
Even better camera- My Sony has a 19 megapixel 4K camera so they could jump to that now. The software for studio lighting is very nice and I wish I had that in post. I can do it bit not as easy as the Apple X does it according to the demo. I like the OIS and twin focal length cameras too but just don't need that personally. iphone or Sony is not my primary camera, just a rare backup.
Adding the 71 band. That is a given and may be a requirement by FCC.
I think they will bring back the finger print scanner while improving the face recognition features. The Sony has a really neat implementation of the finger print scanner built into the main power button so when you hold it in your hand and squeeze the power button on the middle side with your finger, it also senses the finger print. It does the scan and on to home screen light turning on a light switch. So that I can navigate with my right finger I set up the finger print scan to my left middle finger which normally rests over the power button. It's about 3 seconds faster than my iphone 6+.
