Apple Jan. 27 launch event... what will it be?

[Uncle Ted]

Video games, dude!

This was an interesting rollout. iPhone X was a big deal with face recognition and edge to edge glass, etc. This one just seems incremental. Like the refresh models one year after a major launch. Apple running out of ideas? Have we maxed out the smart phone platform?

I think you would prefer this iPhone... It will do everything you want to do and it has a headphone jack!

I have the iPhone XS. Bought it last December.

Me too . I bought mine in Feb. I will not be upgrading until the generation after the 11 (whatever they will call it 11s?)

[Uncle Ted]

With 16 GB of memory, right?

LOL... that doesn't have a headphone jack.

[Jeff Lebowski]

LOL... that doesn't have a headphone jack.

Yeah, that sucks.

[CJF]

Yeah, that sucks.

I agree. It’s so dumb and really my only complaint for my XS Max. I doubt I’ll upgrade for at least two more years.

Didn't you see those wide, ultra wide, and telephoto cameras? Not to mention the low light features.

You might like the new "slofie" feature.

I like the fact that it has 5 more hours of battery life, dual sim (no more carrying two phones), and audio sharing (connect multiple sets of AirPods). The A13 is pure dope when it comes to speed.

[Uncle Ted]

Yeah, that sucks.

I think I have an iPhone 6s Plus kicking around... I can trade you straight across for your iPhone XS. You'll like it because it has a headphone jack and you don't use all that extra speed and stuff.

Maybe Apple should make a phone with a headphone jack just for old people. I can’t remember the last time I used a headphone jack and I listen/watch stuff on my phone daily. My kids even have Bluetooth headsets (although cheap ones). The phone could even have extra big apps and an extra big keyboard.

There’s got to be a market for it now that Samsung has finally dropped the headphone jack.

[Joe Public]

I use the headphone jack in my iPhone 5 all the time. The phone itself does everything I want it to do and does not have all of the biometrics stuff I don't like. Different strokes for different folks.

[SCcoug]

It's amazing that the guy without a headphone jack doesn't use a headphone jack.

Might be time to replace my iPhone7.

What do you know, still sucking another $99 out of the public just to have usable storage.

I hate to say that the phone is as good as it gets, but... at the risk of sounding like people in the 19th century who proclaimed that everything under the sun had been invented, I don't think they could do anything else to make this phone better other than make it the size of the iPhone 5 again and maybe upgrade the waterproof-ness. This is why apple sends code in its 'upgrades' to make your older model phones run slower.
