Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Could This Actually Be The iPhone 11?”.
Though Apple has big plans for 2019, they got ta, have them triple cameras, yeah my phone. It’S interesting. You know, because it’s not that many triple camera devices out there and when I saw the original render image which you could switch to the tab there. When I saw that image floating around, I was like man, it doesn’t look, it just doesn’t look like it’s gon na happen. He doesn’t have an iPhone feel to it.
Yeah at this point, it just doesn’t feel Apple ish in its current form. Considering it’s been done by other brands, this is kind of a an indication. The Apple feels like they want to target Huawei, specifically cuz they’re, the other player, with the triple camera setup. It’S like are we in a situation now where, where the devices that have reigned supreme, the champions of the space are potentially taking inspiration from the newcomers by adding more lenses.
You know I’ve been reading so much about this situation in China with the iPhone doing poorly. They feel like at least on paper. Those Huawei devices are offering more features and options for the price. Do you want to be able to say you have one extra camera unit? No, do you want to say? I got three cameras.
You got two. You got one I’m better than you are. You know thinking about Google and their pixel line, they’re going for one camera, but concentrating on software, but there’s something about hardware that sends a message of like we’re: changing we’re, adding something that is hard to do strictly via software, where a person can hold onto the Thing and say: oh, this is new. This is different.
This is better with the pixel devices you try to tell people. Oh, it’s got a great camera and they’re like oh, but it’s a single lens like I think there is this issue right now of upgrading to new devices or not upgrading to new devices, because you don’t feel that all that much has changed versus this kind of Approach which is like what will always been doing like slap another camera on and then people are going to look at the new device and say: oh, I got it created it’s new. I want you to know. I have the newest phone: that’s becoming harder and harder for Apple to do. If you look at a lot of their previous versions, ten 10s we’re at a stage now, where it’s becoming harder to prove to people that these new devices are worth upgrading to. You need a way physically for people around you to know when you place it on the table or hold it to your head, that it’s newer better and you had the money to buy it and there’s only so much. You can do via hardware like what can change right now. We talked recently about like bending screens that ain’t ready.
Yet what can you do? That’S cheap! That’S an immediate indicator that you’ve done something new slap. Another camera on. It seems to have worked relatively well for wall way now.
Another thing that they’re mentioning in this report on the Wall Street Journal they’re, talking specifically about the iPhone 10, are not necessarily matching Apple’s expectation for demand and also the potential that Apple will drop. The liquid retina LCD that they talk so much about in the keynote and in exchange just go for an entirely OLED lineup. Maybe the savings in going with LCD wasn’t enough to justify the shift in workflow or maybe Apple has figured out that people want all ads.
The speculation is that for 20/20, the LCD could go bye-bye. Okay now I know, there’s gon na be a lot of people out there. That can be saying you don’t need three cameras like it’s unnecessary. It’S it’s not the answer to apples problems, but I think people need to kind of shift their perspective on why this is important for Apple to do. It may not improve things very much for your actual photo performance on your iPhone, but it does indicate that Apple is taking a major stand in markets like China, where the Huawei products p20 Pro may 20 Pro have become sort of the aspirational products. They have been successful at establishing themselves as sort of the top of the food chain and then they’ve gone and added features like this to kind of enhance that positioning by Apple, adding that extra camera unit, it kind of indicates that Huawei is their target and if Huawei’S their target than it means China’s their target and they’re looking for a solution to their China problem, which has been hovered, I mean in so many places.
We’Ve talked about it. I don’t know if this is going to be enough, because I think the problems you know the the macroeconomic problems of what’s going on in China, specifically with Apple, I mean it’s like. There are layers and levels of complexity here, but this looks like a move to go directly at Huawei to say: hey, we have a third camera unit as well seems like apples, copying Huawei. Some people are gon na say that people are gon na, say that in the comments keep in mind, this is just a report.
This is not official. Do you think that Samsung will follow suit as well? It really is starting to feel like if one player does something they’re all gon na have to do it, especially when software you know you just have Android, you have iOS, there’s no in-between, and this is another way of a brand saying: hey. You have a new device and everyone’s going to notice it, because look at all these cameras on the back. That said, it’s hard to implement a bunch of cameras while maintaining decent aesthetics. You tell me: does this something look a little off about that implementation? Yeah? Definitely, I think, there’s no Apple feel to it. Maybe there’s another implementation that looks better than this, but there’s something about the iPhone design. The way that we’ve known it that doesn’t really lend itself to this type of implementation right here we’ll have to see how it shakes out. I don’t think this is the answer I think Apple has to play in the price territory.
They have to do some real work with that 10r that they’ve created to create something compelling for less the savior is paying more attention to emerging markets with products that make sense for those markets. Cheaper iPhones is really what matters right now, but this is not the solution to the problems they’re having .
