They’re beautiful. I miss that look and think the XS upgrade would look beautiful in a revival of that style.

But it would take a lot to pry me away from my happy colorful Xr. I hope they stick to fun and rounded for the Xr.
 
I know, the iPhone XS and XR have only just been released but there is only 10 and a bit months to go until the iPhone 11, XI is released and if I was going to have a guess at what these new iPhones were going to look like I would guess we are going to see the new iPhones have the same kind of design as the new iPad Pro, but with a glass back, could you imagine how beautiful this would look and I think this would look similar to the iPhone 4/4s which in my opinion was one of the most beautiful iPhones. What kind of design would you like the iPhone 11 to have?
 
Considering the design of the iPad Pro, I'm wondering if Apple would use its design as a base or still use rounded corners for next year's iPhone models. Which of the two designs do you prefer? I've seen a concept from a Reddit post and I think it looks so good.

I doubt the iPad Pro design will carry over to iPhone.

The iPad needed flat edges to hold the Pencil magnetically. There's no such design requirement with iPhone.

Same goes for USB-C.

Basically this.

It’s less an iPhone influence over the iPad and more a surface influence that they transferred through the design of former iPhones.
 
I hope not lol.. I think Apple will go fully wireless before they put usb-c on the iPhone.
Well, majorities of car supported bluetooth and wire charging on 2010 (Even bluetooth already exist in 2006)
As of now there are few to zero cars even sports car that supports wireless charging. Who knows? Maybe in 2022 all compact cars will get Wireless charging feature as well.
 
Form factor/usb-c wise.

I think the new iPad! looks very clean/sleak. I would definetly buy the 2019 iPhone if it looked like the iPad Pro. I just am holding out for no notch. I used an X for a work project and the notch was just an eyesore. I never got used to it.

Pretty sure, 10 years from now all gadgets including Laptop, iPads and Phones are going to be wireless charging either with hidden desktop/table dining charger or by car. Then some will be adopting solar charging including flagship phones like samsung and apple. Its never bad to dream on da future isnt it?
