    Would be unwise to buy an iphone right now. iphone 12 will bring a big change so better save up the money or else wait for the s11 series and oneplus 8

      IPhone 11 has an over rated camera. The processor is not like what Apple claim. Battery life is still behind android. 865 processor eats A13 for breakfast. Real world use of iPhone 11 pro max is like apple claim. Jerky as hell camera zoom. Bad camera zoom. Noisy night images especially when zoomed in. Not as stable as android. Bad ram management. No fast charging. No 90hz or 120 hz. No 5g.

      And all that for 1200 usd. Oh and with apple care on top. Are people out of there minds?

      Want a better phone? Real value for money?

      Asus rog phone 2 or oppo reno ace or realme x2 pro or oneplus. Or even Samsung. Or xiaomi. Or meizu 17.

      Or wait jan/Feb for 865 androids. But 855+ is good for games.

      Vivo nex 3 5g can play pubg with 2x higher graphics settings than A13. And plays by far better. Check out on YouTube.

      Biggest flop for iPhone.

        What are you talking about - criticizing for not having 120 hertz in best display ever? Are you out of your mind? Who need power draining 120 hertz, or 5g in 19/20 and what for? Smooth menu listing? I prefer longer battery life over 120hz smoothness you know

        Older design of 11 pro? Who cares when it got mage backside - since I’m a person who never used case, that is biggest upgrade since 7 plus all metal body :) and yes, Face ID is still most secure unlocking method, so I do not care and I’m not even talking about cameras ;) don’t get me wrong, but 11 pro max is a best smartphone on the market at the moment

          Looks like the iPhone XR was the real winner. Most people bought that this year than the 11 series.

              LOSER: iPhone 11 Series
              This series LACKS a 3.5mm headphone jack as STANDARD ever since they ditched the "niche" feature in 2016 iPhone 7 Series in order to "force" users to buy and listen to "good" quality sound when using Bluetooth / Wireless headphones. Also not to mention, the LACK of a microsd card slot as STANDARD for expandable storage since the very 1st iPhone in 2007 FGS!! Come on it's almost 2020 and couldn't (C*)Apple just slap JUST one next to the nanoSIM slot?? And (C*)Apple's iCloud backup is oh-so LIMITED in storage and you need to pay money in order to upgrade that, not to mention privacy issues which recently (C*)Apple has been trumping on. And do i need to mention mobile data caps in some countries. Also, this series also have cameras that are placed in a style which is considered scary to people having trypophobia. There is also NO physical "home" button since iPhone X in 2017 which means if the screen cracks you have basically dug yourself a deep hole. Can't they integrate that "home" button feature in the power button at the very least?? And yes, not to mention, the F*GLY NOTCH. (C*)Apple's competitors HAVE ALREADY MOVED ON from NOTCHES to POP-UP camera design which is what Oppo has done in the Reno Series this year. Those F*GLY NOTCHES also DISRUPT your viewing experience on your smartphone in general.

                I think holiday promotions for iPhone Pro Max getting hard sell here by swapping the winners and losers. iPhone 11 even with its inferior display far superior to iPhone Pro and Pro Max since it almost costs twice iPhone 11 in most of the places! With 5G coming soon, paying ransom like $1000-$2000 for a mobile will only be a stupid investment! Save yourself from buying high priced iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max

                  I would consider the iPad 10.2 both a winner and loser because despite the larger screen, it still has the A10 chipset(which is 3 years old, but still capable) and the same outdated design. But considering the price, it's still good value for money
