Pretty sure there's already been this same exact thread. Perhaps a maybe option should be added to the poll.
If the price per month is the same, maybe...
I'm in the IUP, but I'm already paying $60/month for an XS Max and it's NOT worth it. If the 11 is more, forget it.

Same question here
The only way I'm buying is if they release an SE-sized phone with a full screen and flagship specs. So, no, I won't be buying. Phones are too expensive for me these days so I'm hanging on to my X until it either dies or there is some new huge feature I haven't thought of yet that comes on new phones.
This year might be the year I don’t upgrade, the iPhone XS Max is still a beast and can’t see how much more better the 11 would be. Prove me wrong Apple, lol.

Its not about areas not having or having poor 5G. Its a £1,000 phone that will miss a substantial feature at some point next year when 5G because more widespread. Some people cannot afford to upgrade yearly. Theres no excuse.
I have an iPhone 6S, this is my first smart-phone and my first iPhone. I don't want the planet's ecosphere die before I die.
I'll wait till next year unless like I've said before I see a used device pop up online for cheap. That's how I upgraded from X to XS, within 2 weeks of release there were used devices on ebay for 200-300.00 off so it made sense to me. But I really don't plan to purchase this year's device unless something insanely amazing were to be announced. But I personally don't see that happening. Same goes for Apple Watch. AW is my favorite Apple device but I just can't see what they'd do from series 4 to 5 to really hook me in. Sleep detection is cool but not something i'd be upgrade money for. Guess we shall see but honestly I really want more changes in software from Apple then hardware.. just so much missing that could be the whole experience of using their devices more fluid. And no i'm not dumping on them as a company.
Yet you don’t mention a single benefit of 5G in your post. I live near a big city myself and LTE speeds are blazing fast. Most countries do not have unrestricted data volumes, so the only benefit on my mobile device is that movies and stuff would loud or buffer quicker and my data allowance is used up even faster.
Besides that I find watching video content for more than a few minutes on such a tiny screen rather boring.
I get what you're saying, but I'll be willing to bet that next year at this time 5G won't be widely available and/or perfected. Therefore there's no need from a business standpoint to have it on this years iPhone, which would only raise prices for models supporting 5G. Apple has a track record of not releasing features until they've been perfected.

Yup
Nope. My iPhone X is still smooth and silky. It’s acting the same way it did when I took it out of the box on its day 1 release.
Apple absolutely nailed it with the X. I will be back sitting in front of my computer at 3:00AM next year.

I got 7+. I want to upgrade and have a huge screen + FaceID but with all these rumors about square bump makes me think 2nd time. Besides this 2020 iPhones rumors started even now. I don't want to regret buying 2019 ones but if I can hold on to it I want to upgrade this year.
But of course if I had a X or XS I would stick to it until 2020 iPhones comes up. Don't think it will be huge upgrade for them.

The triple lens camera seems very interesting if you’re into the camera features. But I mentioned it before, you’re not Apples target demographic to upgrade this year. Why? Because you already own one of the latest iPhones, and this will probably be more of a ‘spec upgrade’ for someone like yourself, but take into consideration that someone that has an older iPhone model like the 7 as an example, they might be enticed upgrade to the newest model, and _that_ is Apples target demographic.
100% agree with your statement....I am sure users with an iPhone X and below are looking forward to the upgrade.
Nope. I am currently using iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 Plus. Not going to upgrade. This year, I purchased iPhone XR twice and all end up with returning. I cannot stand with FaceID, I am going to keep using iPhone 8 Plus until Apple moves to under display finger print sensor.
Nope, getting a new one just like every year. Will be easier to spot the poors with the new camera design.
No thanks, don't care for the form factor and lack of fingerprint scanner in the new line. I'll stick with my 8+.
Maybe I am not making myself clear. I know 5G isnt wide spread and that 4G is very good speed wise.
But if I am someone who can only upgrade once every 3-4 years and I need a new phone this year the iPhone isnt the right choice. 5G will be widespread in a year at least in major cities. And I know Apple usually waits blah blah blah. I dont care about that, its a wrong choice especially considering there are already quite a few 5G enabled phones.
I'm not buying another iphone until they get rid of that god damn notch
