Hi, Joanne. I\u2019m really glad you waited. I appreciate your patience. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (garbled cell connection) Hi. How are you doing today?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I am doing well. It has been a long week. I\u2019m looking forward to the weekend, getting out on the golf course, getting outside, but I\u2019m doing well. Thank you. How about you? How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I\u2019m doing awesome. You know, I\u2019m really excited \u2019cause I went to the rally. But the reason I was calling &#8212; the caller said get right to the point &#8212; is I have the iPhone X, I think. I got it last year, just last year, but the new one just came out and I wondered if you thought it was a good thing to upgrade because I mostly use my phone for like to take pictures. We just got back from Ireland and we go to a lot of places, like we just went to the rally. And I love using my phone instead of taking a camera and I was wondering if you think that was a good idea to upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-011118-Tech.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-011118-Tech.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-011118-Tech-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wow. Let me first&#8230; The short answer is yes, I believe you should upgrade every year. I think the improvements in iPhones are significant every year, and I wouldn\u2019t believe&#8230; If I were any of you &#8212; and it\u2019s your decision. But I wouldn\u2019t pay any attention to these bloggers and reviewers who try to tell you, &#8220;There\u2019s not enough new here. Go the cheap version, go the cheap version. Hold on to your phone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s always reason to upgrade. The upgrades, particularly on iPhones&#8230; Maybe not so much Macs or iPads, but on iPhones, the significance of upgrades every year is significant. I mean, it\u2019s profound. They may not look different; they may not change the industrial design, the outside, you know, the shape of the phone and all that. But the stuff inside, it changes immensely. What exact kind of phone do you have?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I had this X, I guess. There\u2019s fingerprint on&#8230; I don\u2019t know. My husband gets one for me every year but this one &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait. Hold on. Hold it a second. This is really frustrating, folks, \u2019cause I try to talk to them and they can\u2019t hear me. Does it have a fingerprint ID or not?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I can\u2019t quite understand you. I don\u2019t know&#8230; On your side, can you hear me clearly? Because you\u2019re jumbled on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, I think we\u2019ve got a bad cell phone connection. So let me just&#8230; Look, thanks for the call. I will just tell you: Yes, I think it\u2019s always worth upgrading. Like let\u2019s assume that she\u2019s got an iPhone X. If she has an iPhone X, it\u2019s two-years old. The upgrades from two years ago are stunning and profound. The iPhone&#8230; Actually, the iPhone X is now two&#8230; three phones ago. The iPhone X when it was released was the first phone with facial ID.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-321695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091219-iPhone-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091219-iPhone-11.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091219-iPhone-11-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They got rid of the fingerprint ID. It was the first phone with what they call an OLED display, which means it\u2019s much better contrast, color, brightness, and all that. It was one size, 5.8 inches, and it was the first phone that was almost all screen except for the notch at the top. That phone cost $1000. Now, this year\u2019s iPhone 11, which is two phones later&#8230; This year\u2019s iPhone 11 is a better phone than the iPhone X that cost $1000, minimum. That was the starting price.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s iPhone 11 is $650, and it\u2019s much better phone than the iPhone X. It\u2019s got a much better processor. It has much better cameras. It\u2019s got software and processing in the camera app. The computer processing, the things they are able to do with photographs now&#8230; The iPhone X was state-of-the-art when it was released at a thousand bucks, but people buying it at a thousand bucks &#8212; the earlier adopters &#8212; created enough profit for Apple to continue to improve the phone and now sell a better phone, the iPhone 11.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s version was the iPhone XR. It had one camera, it had cheap LTE, meaning antennas. It was not the fastest LTE. The iPhone 11 has the same LTE ability as the iPhone XS last year, meaning the fastest. It\u2019s Gigabit LTE. It\u2019s got two cameras. It\u2019s $300 cheaper. There is no reason not to upgrade, other than if you\u2019ve got other financial priorities. But if you\u2019re gonna get a phone this year, don\u2019t believe these people that tell you not to upgrade. Then if you get to the 11 Pro models, the Pro Max? Five hours additional battery life and three cameras!<\/p>\n<p>I mean, if you wanted to you could upgrade every year and massively improve the phone that you have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: If you&#039;re gonna get a phone this year, don&#039;t believe these people that tell you not to upgrade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":320496,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
