Yep. And people like me will buy them - it's one of my little luxuries in life to have the latest iPhone. But I agree that the features on an upgrade can be a bit thin.
I have an almost unused and boxed iPhone X sitting at home that I couldn't sell when I upgraded to the 11 - a bit annoying. Maybe it will become a collectors item?
Hi NDA, how much are you looking for, for the X?I have an almost unused and boxed iPhone X sitting at home that I couldn't sell when I upgraded to the 11 - a bit annoying. Maybe it will become a collectors item?
Dates are starting to slip - Jon has a decent track record of inside info ...

My X is starting to run out of battery life. New battery or new phone?

Think I'll have to upgrade to the 12 at some point, I'm still using an iPhone 8 that I've had for nearly 3 years. I will try and hold off for another year, but I don't think this battery will make it, it's almost a year old and will probably be totally f
ked in 6 months time. It's either replace the battery for a 2nd time or just buy a new phone.

I reckon a new Apple fitted battery will solve your problem.ked in 6 months time. It's either replace the battery for a 2nd time or just buy a new phone.bad company said:

Yeah I went for a new battery last year, they cracked my screen and ended up giving me a new iPhone. It's just quite old tech now, not sure whether I want to pay £700 for a new phone though, it's still easy to use on a day to day basis.Leicester Loyal said:

iPhone 4 was an iconic design and the best looking iPhone IMHO (last of Jobs' iPhones).Will O. Bey jr said:

If the iPhone 12 has 5G, then it’ll be worth upgrading for 5G alone.
To increase your download speed many times over just by getting a new handset is a pretty big functional upgrade.
And for those who think they don’t need 5G - given file sizes only ever go up and apps and features will require ever more bandwidth - 4G will soon seem as inadequate as 3G.
IMO that won't happen for another few years. I have 5g on my phone now and only get it when in London. It is nice to have but no where near essential. 4g is perfectly fine unless you are transferring large video files on a regular basis. Even with 4g videos stream with no buffering and if you are going to move files for editing on a desktop then you can't beat a usb stick.To increase your download speed many times over just by getting a new handset is a pretty big functional upgrade.

If you are upgrading to the iPhone 12 just for 5g if it has it then you'll be very disappointed.
Just saying "its 5G" is useless unless the infrastructure is adequate.
It’s looking like the new iPhone will be launched alongside IOS 14 which will curb advertising revenues for app developers. Apparently users will have to consent to allow them to be tracked.

Dead!
Was it actually dead or did it just show 1%? My 7 has a habit of showing the battery at 1% then lasting ages, and sometimes it will drop down by a % every 10 seconds or so as I'm using it until it gets to 1% then just sits there.Here's the battery use from the other day, we were in a restaurant, phone locked and on silent at about 50% battery. Checked my phone and it was at 1%, looking at the graph it went from 50 to 1 in no time at all even though it was just sat there...
Original battery, capacity is now at 69%, hoping it holds out until the 12 is released...

Wow! My phone was a nightmare when the battery capacity was at 84%, it wouldn't even last through a nightshift, I can't imagine what having 69 is like.- awaits 69 joke*
