James F, 14 Oct 2020Same here. They’re advertising 5G which is not everywhere available.Actually, I hated that a big chunk of the presentation was 5G and most people won’t be able to use 5G.
This generation is a very disappointing :/

Best camera and video recording in one device (not for android one has good camera and you find better video recording in another android)? Security? Reliability? Optimization? Which android lasts longer than iPhone? All you can do better on android is personalizing the screen 😢 come on

Kolikoasdpvp, 14 Oct 2020Plastic better than glass because it doesnt break as easy and is much lighterFirst of all it's less durable because it doesn't make the phone more structurally sound and it scratches much more easily. 2nd of all, you can feel the different between plastic and glass and plastic just feels cheaper.

Ukflyer, 14 Oct 2020Agreed. I’ll wait for 120hz and 5g service in my area. Until then, my XS Max will do fine.Same here. They’re advertising 5G which is not everywhere available.

Like i said milion times before , i used to use only Samsung for 15 years , and apple is now my choice!
I dont know is it better , its to early to say , but its excelent.
For now , I have better opinion on iphone than od Samsung.
There are few thing that I do miss on iphone , like , haptic feedback ehole typing , more options for camera , T9 dialing , but its all software things and cosmetics.
The speed , stability , and everything is up until now far better on iphone than on Samsung , so how that saying goes.
King is dead , long live the king would in my case be :
Samsung is dead , long live the Apple

Mi fam, 14 Oct 2020The apple A14 Bionic is useless without 120/90HZ
They claim it's the world best chi... moreAndroid smartphones are not getting 120FPS let alone 60FPS.
The A14 is more efficient is on a 5n process and is more powerful thus enabling Dolby Vision HDR 10-bit video recording at 4K at 60 FPS and other camera features. Name me ANY other smartphone that is capable of that. ANY.

Thoughts on the lack of 120Hz:
Let’s be honest. Apple has a different approach to competitors such as Samsung. Apple does not like to compromise. Face ID and the notch are still here, 120Hz is not coming due to the hit on battery of not having a LTPO variable refresh rate display available to the scale Apple requires which is a shame
Samsung on the other hand has got rid of Iris scanning, dual front facing cameras, intelligent scan. The non 120Hz display of the Note 20 looks so much brighter than the Note 20 Ultra 120Hz display.
120Hz is capped at 1080p.
OnePlus has had huge display uniformity issues with its 120Hz display panels.
The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner does not work with most glass screen protectors and is slower compared to a bezel Touch ID.
I will say it again, Apple does not like compromise.
Besides, the OLED iPhones do have a 120Hz touch sample rate at least, and for the most part in my opinion iOS is significantly more smoother than Android on a pure software level.
In other words, I think 120Hz matters more on an Android phone than on an iOS device.
But needless to say I would love to see 120Hz variable refresh rate make it onto an iPhone. I wish Apple facilitated for its true Pro users in the refresh rate department and hid the setting for 120Hz to be always on. But I suppose they don’t want their reputation to be hit by having poor battery life, which is not helped with 5G and having a thinner phone this year.

Alex G., 14 Oct 2020They were hyped. They said 120hz display. They said 699 iPhone mini. They said "no notch ... moreThe 120hz refresh rate rumor was debunked pretty early, months ago, because they couldn't get enough of them because of covid, the 699 iPhone mini is true, and no one said the rest of them. If you're gonna comment a hate message at least do your homework and hit with genuine information. Apple's whole business model is built on trust so they never promise anything they can't deliver, because then people won't trust things they say.

Safaeit Hossain, 14 Oct 2020Does anyone knows how much RAM & battery capacity this phone has?6GB of RAM and the battery size hasn't been disclosed yet.

In early July I decided to buy my first iPhone.. I considered all the rumours about the iPhone 12 series and what I already knew about the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I bought the iPhone 11 Pro Max. It seems I made the right decision. I didn't like the rumoured Note 20 Ultra. I had both the Note 9 and Note 10 Plus and wanted to sell the former. I'm keeping the Note 10 Plus until the Note 21 Ultra comes out. Henceforth instead of carrying 2 Galaxy Notes one will be an iPhone Pro Max.
