This is an updated post from an article that I commented on. Just trying to get some opinions from the hive-mind.
Sorry for the essay!
So I upgraded from the iPhone XS (5.8") in the fall of last year to the iPhone 11. I did it to save money on the monthly cost of the iPhone Upgrade Program (I'm only saving $11, but still). Unfortunately I’ve started to realize that the screen size on the 11 is just too large and the wide angle lens isn't preferable over the zoom lens. I miss the Xs and its 5.8" display with zoom zoom lens. I miss the "Pro" features.
Based on rumors, it seems like the 6.1” (of the iPhones 11 & Xr) size is going to stick around and move to the "Pro level" with the smaller 5.8" going away. There also seem to be some changes coming to the camera setup which could mean that if I want to stay with the smaller (rumored) 5.4" display, I'll be getting the same camera setup I have now on the iPhone 11.
Bottom line:
If I want the zoom lens, I'll have to go with a 6.1" display which I feel is too big for me.
If I want the smaller display, I'll have to forgo the zoom lens and keep the same camera setup from the 2019 iPhone 11.
So I’m wondering....
Do I upgrade early now to the 11 Pro 5.8”?
Do I hold out and risk being “stuck” with choosing between cameras and screen size?
