Here's what Business Insider readers have to say about the iPhone 11, Apple's next smartphone expected to arrive in September

Here's what Business Insider readers have to say about the iPhone 11, Apple's next smartphone expected to arrive in September

Ali says he has "no intention" of upgrading to the iPhone 11 from his iPhone 6S Plus.

Derrick also owns an iPhone 6S Plus, and says he has "no reason to pay any amount for the 11."

"Other than replacing the battery about six months ago, the 6S Plus does everything I could need to do and it supports iOS 13," he said.

Grace says she would "love to buy iPhone 11."

She said she loves to take pictures and videos, and "the design is actually pretty cool."

Steven says he would really like to upgrade his iPhone 7 to an iPhone 11, but is worried he can "justify the expense."

"Ideally I should have bought an iPhone 8 or X but I refused to pay the price, even on a monthly contract," he said. Still, he doubts he can rationalize paying around $1,000 for a new phone.

"I have no doubt I'd benefit from the the improved processor and better battery life, and I would so love better battery life, but not at any cost," he said. "Realistically, I will probably upgrade to an iPhone 8 or the iPhone XR depending on their contract price after the launch of the iPhone 11. If not, it may finally push me to go to an Android phone, as there always seems to be a good deal to be found with them."

Dennis says he is "not planning to buy an iPhone 11."

"I currently use an iPhone 7 Plus," he said. "It works great and does what I need it to do."

Andrew says he is waiting for a more meaningful upgrade, and 5G isn't expected in an iPhone until 2020 at the earliest.

"There was no reason last year to replace my iPhone 7 Plus, and there's no reason this year," he said.

Christopher said he is going to pass on the iPhone 11, because the phones will be "too expensive" and Apple's "upgrade cycle is not that interesting."

"Afraid I don't care about upgrading," he said. "I still have a 6S Plus and have yet to see a reason to upgrade. All the apps I use work just fine. I don't care about using the iPhone for photography, preferring my Lumix. If I had to get another phone I would likely get an 8 Plus or whatever the big model is."

Sam said there is one reason he won't upgrade to the iPhone 11: "5G technology."

"I like my iPhone 6 and will replace it with an iPhone 12 most likely," he said.

Sahej "doubts" he's going to upgrade to the iPhone 11.

"I currently use an iPhone 6S as my daily driver, and it really doesn't show any signs of slowdown, maybe except in the battery department," he said. "It's also getting the iOS 13 update."

Joseph is ready to upgrade from his iPhone XS to an iPhone 11.

He said he's been having issues with "data reception, reliability, and speed" compared to other phones he's used, including his old Galaxy S8, and hopes the new hardware for the iPhone 11 will improve the modems in the phone.

"For that alone, I am ready to pay to upgrade," he said.

Derrick said the "iPhone 11 is not showing me anything spectacular," and thinks he's going to go with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus instead.

"I have my eyes set on the Note 10 Plus, maybe with 5G," he said. "Now that's a nice phone. It should keep me content for at least five years."

Jiten said he's going to skip the iPhone 11 for one reason: "The backside looks weird."

Coincidentally, this email was apparently "Sent from a Samsung Galaxy smartphone."
