Tripple camera system, new antenna and improved face id.

Radical only on the 80's sense of the word.


For those who reads comments first, there is absolutely nothing radical in the changes. They are all just upgrades, some seemingly irrelevant to consumers.

- more cameras on the back of max model

-more dots on the IR light for use in face ID

- new material in the antenna

- wifi 6


I’m still holding out for USB C - I desperately want to live in a single charger world


I am living in a single charger world, and it is amazing.

All my mobile devices (phone, laptop, and console) use USB-C.

I carry everything these days in a single, very thin, laptop bag and feel like I can work and play from anywhere.

...plus, there's no worry if I ever lose a cord. Every device I buy comes with one.


Indeed! My work setup includes a monitor with a powered USB-C output.

I plug all my peripherals into the back of the monitor once, and when I get in I plug the single USB-C wire into my laptop, it carries power, VGA, data, and ethernet.


How is this radical?


My thought exactly. This is just another example of our shrinking vocabulary. Intensifiers in particular seem to have collapsed into an undifferentiated mass. For example, the words awesome, great, outstanding, etc all have different connotations, but you wouldn’t know that based on how they’re used.


A counter-narrative to the dwindling stock got accidentally leaked to a fan site and curated through investor information channels. If Tim Cook were a horse I bet he would win triple crown, accidentally of course.


iPhone Xi, unapologetically designed in California for China


This is FAR from radical and it's super disingenuous to show a concept photo of the new phone having no notch.


3 cameras? I thought Apple was about innovation, didn't I see a Samsung with 7 cameras?
