![]() I'm sticking with my XS Max 256Gb for now. The 3rd camera on the 11 Pro Max is nice, but not enough of an incentive for me to upgrade on its own. Nothing else about the 11 really does anything for me. We'll see what next September holds. |

![]() Still rocking an iphone 7. The battery health says it's still 90% good because I hardly ever let it charge to 100% (at first only to 80% but lately 90% since it has gotten old). I kept the new battery feature off cause it'll still go to 100%, just right before you wake up so it doesn't stay there too long. If the battery is still decent a year from now I might even skip the 11s but I imagine by the time 12 comes around the battery would be a goner and the 7 won't be supported anymore. |

![]() Yeah, I love Face ID. It's one of the main reasons why I'm sticking with Apple for now. |

![]() Night mode is a great thing they stole from Google. They should have done it much sooner. |

![]() The Pixel 4 is supposed to have Face ID-like functionality. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. |

![]() Yeah FaceID is pretty smooth. Just a touch faster this iteration around but its due to iOS 13 and not new hardware. Triple camera is nice, night mode is nicer. Touch better quality on the telephoto and normal lens is nice too. Ultrawide is good but in well lit areas. It suffers when its darker and night mode doesnt work with that lens. Same stuff with the processor, faster than the competition by a mile. Same stuff with the RAM, lacking compared to the competition(iPhone will probably lose all 'speed' tests where opening apps and keeping them in memory matters). But will trounce on anything doing any real work like encoding or filtering videos/photos. Overall this is the iPhone X(SS) a second iterative iPhone. This should have been a new design but I guess next year will have to be the year. I really wish they would go back to the iPhone 5 look which the new iPad pros are modeled after. Those were my favorite looking iPhones by far. |

![]() With speeds here at 100mbs+ I dont see the need for anything faster? Maybe if your home landline sucks but thats about it. I personally wouldnt need massive speeds on my cell phone. |

We tether to the kids tablets and other devices a TON when we travel or simply go for a drive across town. In some parts of the home (~4000 sq ft property), we have slow spots that I was previously planning on filling via mesh networking. However, when you have 5G in the house and ~ 700mbps speeds, you dont need it. Having 5G and unlimited tethering on a Note10 / S10 is miles better than not. |

![]() 50 bucks more to get Kenwood & apple's dumb speed sensor wire hooked up to the truck's VSS it's only used for wireless Carplay but wireless Carplay is working it has a little more delay in changing tracks but phone calls work well |

Say that when you have 15 devices and half of which are streaming 4k content at any time. We have gb service in the house, but it's not always enough. Like I said, 5g phones fill in all of the hard to reach spots quite nicely. So much so, that I haven't needed to worry about setting up a mesh solution. Secondly, 5g isn't just about raw speed. It's also about breadth of the network in ways that 4g simply can't match. Last edited by somewon : Sep 23, 2019 at 07:47 PM. |

![]() Gigabit internet not good enough for 8 devices running 4K? Better check your connections. That’s if you got 2 Netflix accounts(4 max simultaneously on one account). Netflix recommends 25mbs for 4K. Even if you doubled that and had 8 devices running 4K you still wouldn’t come close to tapping out gigabit. :shrug: The space race for faster wireless service isn’t needed on phones unless it’s your primary source of internet. New technology usually rolls out in big cities where if isn’t needed as much. They should roll it out in rural areas first. |

I never thought of someone having such problems with fingerprint readers. That is very interesting to know. But I am a guy who does not work with greasy or dirty things and washes his hands perhaps a little too often. ![]() I like the capacitive fingerprint reader on my Nokia 7.1. It is very accurate, and the rear placement makes it easy to unlock one-handedly after I pull it out of my pocket. Having to pick it up to unlock it when it is placed upon a flat surface can be a bit of a pain, though. |
