Apple accidentally 'confirms' radical new iPhones

[shaaik]

Tomorrow Apple AAPL +2.52% will launch its biggest iPhone overhaul in generations and it will contain some truly cutting-edge technology. But right before the event, news has broken that Apple itself has accidentally confirmed the headline models…

The revelation comes from 9to5Mac’s Guilherme Rambo, arguably the world’s most reliable Apple tipster, after he revealed the source of his official iPhone XS images: Apple.

In a tweet, Rambo explained: “they came from the recap section of the special event website. I used the URL pattern from the last event and guessed the device’s names. Apple took them down immediately after we published.”


Yes, Apple prematurely published a recap of everything it will launch tomorrow along with iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max images and left it in a URL format almost identical to its previous event. That is a horrendous mistake, and it has significant consequences.

The most obvious is everything we know about the iPhone XS (details) and iPhone XS Max (details) is true. It also follows that the sources which provided this information are reliable, which unfortunately means their bad news is correct as well. And the so-called iPhone XC / iPhone XR (an image of which was left out of the recap section) has a lot more compromises than first believed.

Marketing chimps abusing and dulling another word from the vocabulary.

Would be radical only if it's a phone that won't let users make phone calls.

Otherwise it'd be just another phone with incremental improvement that won't really matter to 90 percent of the users.

An article about radical changes to the iphone with no news about what those radical changes will be? Well that was a waste of a click.

Poor naming scheme.

Radically expensive.

 

[tonmoy]

how is this radical ??

Forbes website uses that title 5 times a week.

 

[Itachi]

Another way to rob people and charging them for features which they will never use in their whole life time.

It's their ludicrous prices due to which they will never be able to expand their market in India.

 

[ManFan]

The leak to the press?

An age-old-Bismarck trick.

 

[Slim]

The only thing radical about the new iPhones is how abhorrently expensive they have gotten with less amount of features compared to Samsung Galaxy S or Note series.

These new lines of iphone of the X category is a totally different market segment.

I am an iphone user but I cant afford to pay £700+ and even if I did have the money wouldnt invest so much on a mobile phone as I dont use the full features.

 

[Slim]

if they had priced the XR as a 600$ device, it would have been a massive success.

 

[Mamoon]

Don't think I will be upgrading my X for XS, not a big enough jump. The new naming scheme is a disaster though, I hope things will be back in order next year when they release iPhone XI (?) and iPhone XI Max.

The "XR" has to go though. XR, SE etc. does not work and Apple is yet to find a good name for its so low-tier model. They cannot call it in Mini either. They could have named the XR iPhone 9 and come up with something new next year.

 

[PetroDollars]

I think smart phone market has reached its peak now, Apple under steve jobs made a name for themselves through innovation and releasing new remarkable products which has now ended, so stay alive and compete in the future with tech companies like Google, Tesla and Amazon will need to come up with some new products, otherwise they will just become like there old foe Samsung and play second fiddle to the new generation tech companies.

I for one will never be able to buy an iPhone as long as it has that ugly notch.

I had my reservations as well, but it only takes a couple of days for you to get over it completely. iPhones are getting ridiculously expensive, but I simply cannot use Android. I hate the interface and have been using iPhones since 2008, so I have no choice but to stick with them. Don't have to go for yearly upgrades anymore though, the X can last for another two years perhaps.

I used to hate Androids as well but ever since i decided to move during the S6 era all my doubts went away. Androids used to be ugly, and cheap but Samsung phones are even better than iPhones nowadays. This is why i decided to get a s8 instead of the X.

Exactly, this whole one year upgrade cycle is pure consumerism. Somehow the device was the greatest device of all time last year is now the worst.
