Well as everyone knows I am a big iPhone fan! Even bought the whole family a new iPhone X when they released two years back. Just paid them phones off this year and took full advantage of the promotional interest free period without a single cent of interest being paid to Barclay.
And of course I watched the entire Apple keynote on the 10th when they unveiled the new iPhone XI which also now comes in a "Pro" model (has three cameras on the back instead of two). They also offer the Pro in two sizes, the standard size of the iPhone X and an even bigger version for people who like a bigger screen. In addition to that they are offering faster A13 processors in all of the iPhone XI models along with the option to get 512gigs of memory. Top of the line iPhone XI Pro, supersized with the 512 gigs will set you back $1450 + tax, not including case.
Having been using the iPhone X for two years now, and not much but a slight speed increase and camera improvements to offer in the new XI model, I can't see myself making the upgrade this year. The new iPhone XI does not support 5G, which to me isn't really important right now in the game, but when it does become important I don't want to be having to upgrade again. I may wait until the iPhone XIII comes out before I upgrade however if they do something really out of the box for the iPhone X1I then maybe I will start rotating out the iPhone X's until such time as the XIII comes out and that way everyone has a "newer" handset to slide into as I upgrade my way to the XIII.
Anyone who finds them in this upgrade cycle for whatever reason would no doubt be wise to get an iPhone XI for the money, but the fact that 5G will be in place soon within the next few years it's going to be a good idea for me to hold out as long as possible.
Everyone in the house loves their iPhone X and I enjoy using my Mac Mini also. I find myself buying more and more movies on iTunes along with music - so it's obvious I am still a big Apple fan.
So that's my annual iPhone update.

The bastard may well break before the time of Apple XIII lol ! And you'll be "forced" to upgrade into some intermediate incarnation.
With a little luck, we won't even get 5G, simply because of the health effects.
