This is going to sell. Not just because it's a $399 phone with Apple's latest-and-greatest processor but also because it looks to be hitting right towards a specific target market; iPhone owners who want an upgrade with current-gen hardware but also did not want to go to the iPhone X-design for a multitude of reasons, whether that's
- The display notch
- The lack of a home button and the changes that come with it, such as no TouchID or the reliance on gestures for system navigation
- The size increase
No, the design isn't exciting, and this isn't the phone to woo those who have an affinity for multi-camera setups, quad HD displays with no bezels or a boatload of features that are more than what most would need but want. However, just the fact that it's got an A13 for $399 changes the game quite significantly, and we're not talking power here.
It's highly likely that this will be supported as long as the iPhone 11-family, which is quite a bit longer than even the flagship Google Pixel line.
