12 Reasons to Wait for the 2019 iPhone & 9 Reasons Not To

Wait for Design Improvements

Wait for Design Improvements

According to Korean website ETNewsApple's 2019 iPhones could be a little thinner and lighter than their predecessors thanks to Samsung's Y-OCTA OLED display technology.

It's unclear how many millimeters and grams Apple could shave off by adopting the tech, but it would be a welcomed change given that Apple's actually increased the thickness of the iPhone in recent years:

  • iPhone XR: 8.3mm
  • iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max: 7.7mm
  • iPhone X: 7.7mm
  • iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus: 7.3mm and 7.5mm
  • iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: 7.1mm and 7.3mm
  • iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus: 7.1mm and 7.3mm
  • iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: 6.9mm and 7.1mm

Unfortunately, this might not happen. A report claims the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will actually be a half millimeter or so thicker than the previous models. 

Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis claims the new iPhones won't have any major design changes other than the new camera design. That said, there could be some smaller tweaks. 

A report out of China claims Apple will remove "iPhone" from the back of the 2019 iPhone design. A bit strange, but certainly possible.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Debby Wu claim the new iPhones will have better water resistance and improved shatter resistance technology. 

Respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes the new iPhone models will come with a frosted glass casing. Beyond those changes though, the 2019 iPhones will probably look and feel a lot like their predecessors.

Dummy models sent to 9to5Mac, which you can see in the video below, show off the final design for the 2019 versions of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. 

Well-known leaker Ice Universe says the iPhone's "appearance breakthrough" (which we can assume means major design changes) won't come until next year.

    I’m actually excited to see the 2019 models but you got a point there, my friend. It’s still better to keep the old ones.

      100% better. As long as you replace the battery that is. Mine’s about 6 years old and if I replaced the battery It’d be as good as new!

    The iPhone XR comes in a variety of colors and features a cheaper price point.

    I am keeping my iPhone X. The XS and XS Max did not even get me excited. I hope the XR have some worthy features in store

    Same here, we are also waiting for the next iteration of iPhones since the XS and XS Max failed to introduce anything major over the original X. We are also excited to see how Samsung does with their foldable phone.

    For me the iPhone 6s was my last apple mobile device. The new phones are way too pricey and not affordable anymore and you get more from the chinese manufacteurs.
