I'm interested in seeing how well these no-bezel phones (with only an IP68 rating) stand up to being pocketed without some manner of gaudy case that has so very little to grab onto without significantly interfering with use.But the MacBook Pro won't slip into your pocket...
$750 is quite a bit to pay for a device with some notable compromises versus current the state-of-the-art.
As it is implemented in software (as opposed to being done using aperture), it should be available on all A12 equipped models at least. I'm pretty sure they claimed it as a feature of the R on the feature slide.
The Xs is an incremental upgrade to the X as we've come to expect with s models. You can tell that's what Apple thinks since the price is the same.
Pretty big technical increment IMO. Most of the rumor mill was thinking incremental but was talking more about the physical stuff, like sizes and so forth. I saw little on the A12 chip in the rumor mills. Also in the rumor mills was the idea of the Xr at a lower price point @$699 but I don't remember any talk about a lowered resolution than the 7+ has. And of course, my main bitch being that Apple is rather stingy on storage size on the entry models @64Gb. At these prices entry should be no less than 128Gb IMO.
You're associating display size to phone size and that's not a reasonable thing to do when the new phones have relatively small bezels. If you need a Plus phone to fit your hand, the Max is what you're looking at and I'm pretty sure that it is still a tiny bit smaller than the 8+.
Unlike the iPhone X, these phones are capable of displaying a full 1:1 HD image (though it won't take up the entire display).
The problem isn't how big the pictures are. The problem is that if you want to store them at less than the full resolution, you have to use a third party app to shoot them. That was a move made to promote iCloud and higher storage phones, not because Apple was deeply concerned about the best possible photo quality.
