I think about upgrading every year but have never really been able to justify it due to the incremental changes. Regardless, planning on getting the 13 Pro as the X is starting to show its age.
Don't know if I'll enjoy and appreciate or feel guilty after the fact. Have had the X for 4 years now and don't really face any issues but feel the need to upgrade as I've never before used a phone longer than 2 years. Anyone else in a similar boat?
Pricing for a 256gb is almost 1.3L - almost 50k higher than other markets + I don't see any bank/cc offers yet.
If it weren't for the epidemic I could've used the pricing as an excuse for a quick "work trip"

Same boat - close to 4 year old XI think about upgrading every year but have never really been able to justify it due to the incremental changes. Regardless, planning on getting the 13 Pro as the X is starting to show its age.

I wanted to wait for 13 but someone offered me 26K for it - and 12 was coming for 63K online so pulled the plug.
I wouldn't get the pro locally - the price delta for pro is quite large compared to the regular.
As with most things Apple, its an incremental update - day to day performance feels the same but the camera was a major upgrade - and the 13 cam is a further upgrade over the 12
One place where the new one surely feels snappier is carplay as the X used to get laggy at times while rendering maps on the screen.
Browsing is perhaps a little snappier - but otherwise not very different
On a side note, unless you plan to record a lot of videos while out of network coverage (or must carry a large movie collection in offline mode), you are much better off buying the 128GB model and pay for a 200GB iCloud / Apple One plan instead -
It is seamless anyway so you don't really realize that your old files/photos have been offloaded from local storage
Thanks just tried this. But now the photos arent getting saved in even the whatsapp folder now. Anyway, not having them in a folder altogether is still miles better than having them in the camera roll. Or maybe they will get saved in the whatsapp folder once whatsapp finishes it scheduled backup tonight.

Wait for some month, if we able to wait till Diwali, even better.
If i remember correctly, 11 was going for as less as 37 during Diwali sale last year.
Apple has bumped their exchange value to max $1000, so you might get a good deal with exchanging your X., check apple site after 26th sept.

Also, the way apple devices are taxed, im little worried what will be the fate of newer macbooks
I will be very very disappointed if i have to buy a windows laptop later due to pricing.
The first lot is always for fanbois who don't have to think about money.

Not necessary fanbois ...what if they are rich and dont have to wait for the Sale/Discount
Like others.
Well i agree with the fact that apple pricing in India ( owing to whatever reason) is way too much.
I still use my iphone 7 for work related stuff (and i am pretty happy with it) and ipad 8th for writing my prescriptions.
I don't find anything spectacular for my usage in apple apart from the writing experience on ipad being very good.
I am not android lover either , no matter what you do android gets heavy pretty quickly and far too many variables in the os..
So i use an iPhone and my lg g8x thinq to get by my daily personal and official stuff.
One thing i would still say that ios is polished as compared to android, and android has huge customization options in built than apple.
On the topic... I will surely like to buy a ip11 next year as that would be enough for my usage.,,
PS : i also own iphone 6 plus and the first gen SE which I love for its size..

I think iPad Mini was probably best announcement from this event. Another slight good thing was bumping of base storage for phones to 128GB and claims of improvement in battery life. But overall phones are more of polishing previous gen. I am keeping my 2 years old iP11 for another year at-the-very-least.
I have debloated my g8x with adb a bit and after android 11 update, this has become even better.
The finger print is now awesome
The battery management is even better..
Might debloated it further just to the point that it doesn't affect the dual screen functions and usual doogle stuff.
On topic... I would Ideally like to buy an iPhone 11 or an iPhone x whenever i am in mood to upgrade my 7...

On an unrelated note, After the 11 update, the back swipe gesture on the g8x has become very funky ..it's almost as if it requires a lot more precise movement and timing to work..
I have enabled the navigation buttons as a workaround - but any idea what could be the cause and how to fix it?

Have not noticed the same on my dad's G8X. Have you tried adjusting the back gesture sensitivity?
was VERY interested in this launch because dad had to upgrade from his op6(works good enough after 3 years but in mere 2 days he cracked the back glass,left it out in rain so the oled went poof and cracked the front glass xD now he is using my k20p as his interim).
but idk man is it just because I'm frugal asf or i recently read a reddit thread about consumerism but spending whole ass 1L on a phone makes me weird while there lies the S20 FE 5G(shit name BTW) for ~40k(which was also a lot of money to pay on a phone not too long ago).
yes, i know the iPhone 13p is great and will feel amazing af. but in the end it's still 1L man.
now as my opinions on the specs(i might not use them but can still like them right?)- i'm a simp for the new cameras and hate that they still don't have AOD despite having an all-amoled lineup for the 2nd year now(trust me,it's so simple yet so amazing). the processor while still the fastest mobile cpu yet wasn't of interest and i hope people like the 120hz when they get it so HRR goes mainstream.

I have never used gestures ever. Kinna old fashioned i am, still into buttons, hence can't really comment mate.
Sorry for going off topic.....

Yeah i think too. Ipad mini was best announcement. But the price is too high....47k i dont think its worth the price. If they offer again airpods with this one in some offer in upcoming months. I will definitely get it. But sole ipad mini for 47k is not a good deal.
The base version is available on pre-order on Amazon for 3k discount with HDFC Card.
