I have an iPhone X. I'm not going to upgrade this year.

Very disappointed in no iPad news. Some rumors there is be future announcement later this year.

Also disappointed in no AirPower news.

Good news is that I get to save some money this year.

Have an iPhone X and Series 2 AW in stainless.

I'm starting to lean more towards getting a Series 4 AW in aluminum (stainless 44mm starting at $750 is ridiculous) and trying to hold out another year for a new iPhone. I'd get the Max if I do decide to upgrade.
 
I have X and the new products doesnt tickle me a bit. Innovation is at the max and is almost dead.
 
I think I'm going to go from my 8 Plus to the XS Max (256GB). It's funny, but the 8 Plus was my first "bigger" iPhone, and now that I have had it, I have no idea why I always thought the Plus versions were too big. Now, I want that XS Max. :)
 
Man I'm still on my 6 Plus and after 4 years I'm still not really 100% compelled to upgrade.

A part of me wants to for the snappier phone and better camera but I'm not sure it's worth paying $50 a month for.

I'm having a hard time believing that anyone thinks the Xs is worth $250-350 more than the Xr. For what? ...an extra lens, a slightly better screen, and slightly worse battery life? o_O
 
Same old same old, but more expensive. No thanks.

The sheeple and fanboys will run out and buy whatever Apple introduces. Two cans and and string, they would buy it.
 
Over here, even the iPhone XR base model costs 1068 USD. So over priced.
Not.Gonna.Buy !
Can't pay this much money on a phone.

If this **** continues, I'll be getting a Google Pixel and call it a day. :(
 
I have a X 256GB and going to pass on an upgrade this year. Maybe I'll be upgrading my iPad Air this year instead?

All of the comments from people stating "I am keeping my iPhone 7, 6, etc as it works great, especially after new battery", is the best endorsement for my buying the X Max. I mentioned earlier that I'm "lining up" for the first time, and one reason I'm doing it is that I get the feeling that it's a phone I can run for a long time. So many other iPhone owners do, and I'm sure I could too. If I had an X, or to consider trading the iPhone 8 plus for a new X (to end up with two new Xs) doesn't seem worth it.

But in hindsight, my 8 Plus was worth it, and I suspect the X Max will be too. And we'll run 'em both as long as they are operationally and security wise (updated with Apple software) viable. So it's the "I'm keeping mine" that reinforces this purchase as much as my positive iPhone 8 Plus experience did.







I think Apple CRUSHES with this lineup.


Be honest to yourself: you bought an 8+ last year and all it took was ONE year to want to make you upgrade. And now you want us to believe that you are buying a Xs max for the long run?
Not buying it.

I’m getting the one with the terrible, terrible name. Bigger screen than my 7 Plus, same footprint. What’s not to love? Except for the price, the lack of a headphone jack, and of course the terrible, terrible name.

Hard pass. Wanted the xs max until I seen the price. $1520 Canadian for the 64gb base model. A big screen you to Apple

And the fact it doesn’t come with a fast charger or affordable storage?

Same here! I sold my iPhone 8 Plus 2 Weeks ago, using a rather broken SE until next week friday. The Xs Max will feel so different and massive again. :D

I like my phones like I like my women: Plus sized and ready to get down to business at a glance.

The only reason I'm going with the iPhone Xs and not the Xs Max is because I'm anticipating my wife refusing to upgrade this year. Then next year, when the 5G models come out, she gets my skinny iPhone Xs and I can pick up the latest tablet sized iPhone.

Don’t know what to do, sometimes feel like the screen on my 8 is a bit small for watching videos but don’t know if I want to deal if he size of the Max on the daily basis. I can’t imagine having a big phone like that in my poket at the gym or when going for a run. Kinda wished the iPhone XS was 6.1 inches that would have been perfect. Don’t want to get the XR, will miss some of the features.
