It’s time to break free of the automatic upgrade-smartphone-every-2-years cycle. @bxchen on why:https://t.co/3pFLAfh4Iw

So, basically Apple just managed to get to the level Pixel had two years ago doing marginally better. Just incremental improvement of Pixel's computational photography is just enough to beat it. Anyway, we all will benefit off this derby.

Today appears to be the day that everyone acknowledges that iPhone XR/XS cameras weren’t great, especially vs. comp like Pixel 3 and P30. Glad I skipped (1st time ever). #iPhoneX4lyfe https://t.co/D5u0ZvYqYJ

Up to my old tricks. I took the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 to Disneyland and put them through their paces. Spoiler, the camera is great. Night mode destroys. https://t.co/fxQ2PZa3SC pic.twitter.com/sRqiyGUAkp

The Pixel 2/3 were such a phenomenal leap ahead of the iPhone, and this seems barely a few steps ahead of those. I'd be surprised if Apple doesn't look like it's playing catchup in a few short weeks again.

don't buy a new iPhone if yours isn't at least five years old. https://t.co/0kZfiQTD9V
I'm genuinely shocked at how good the iPhone 11 camera looks. I figured best-case scenario it'd be equal to the Pixel 3, but it actually seems to be... way better? https://t.co/SOr2sSx3K2
— David Pierce (@pierce) September 17, 2019
It's absolutely true phones are staying useful longer, especially now since Apple is replacing iPhone batteries cheaply, and has continued with much longer software update support than any Android OEM.
— David Ruddock (@RDRv3) September 17, 2019
Apple is doing more to *keep* customers than any other smartphone brand.
That said, I think most people should get the regular iPhone 11, which offers most of the same features, including the main camera and terrific battery life, for $300 less. You just don’t get an OLED or a telephoto camera. https://t.co/DWuMFqifr1

Sorry, @Apple, but I agree with everything in this article from @nytimestech. Not enough innovation to drive upgrades anymore. https://t.co/dpzoasuAjU #tech #iphone
— Nate Strong (@ndlstrong) September 17, 2019
Historically, whenever Apple releases a new iPhone, it makes the iPhone from two years ago look obsolete and meh. Not so with the iPhone 11 — the 2017 iPhone X is still great in comparison. It’s time to reset our upgrade criteria. My untraditional review: https://t.co/aB4xpmYjAg
— Brian X. Chen (@bxchen) September 17, 2019
How insane is it that companies have convinced us that, every two years, we need to get rid of a very expensive and perfectly functional possession.

Specifically, their review says that unless you have an iPhone 6 (2014 model year) or older, there's no need to buy an iPhone 11. And that's only so you get iOS 13.
— David Ruddock (@RDRv3) September 17, 2019
Imagine suggesting to someone they shouldn't upgrade their Android phone unless it was a Galaxy S5 or older. lol
I feel fairly vindicated for saying the iPhone XS camera was not great in our review last year. In comparison to the iPhone 11 it is just a blurry mess.

— alex hern (@alexhern) September 17, 2019
For the portion of that 62% who will upgrade this year, an upgrade to the Xr, 11, 11 Pro will be a big step up. This is the context to remember when thinking about upgrade cycles.
— Ben Bajarin (@BenBajarin) September 17, 2019
I’ve spent the past week reviewing the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. I think Apple finally beat the Pixel camera - the iPhone 11 Pro camera is the best I’ve seen on a phone, and I saw a huge increase in battery life. https://t.co/2gGzdqrF6o

iPhone 11 and 11 Pro review: "We are now living in the golden age of smartphones, where the gadgets’ improvements each year are far from seismic," writes @bxchen. "The bottom line? It’s time to reset our upgrade criteria." https://t.co/GjNg6Nraim

Here's my look at Technical Readouts we collected from iPhone 11 / 11 Pro units in the wild, offering a peek at what's new in iPhone camera hardware. Some notable camera changes! https://t.co/bzLgfTkTYJ
— Sebastiaan de With (@sdw) September 17, 2019
With the reviews out, knowing a big portion of Apple’s installed base is still on 3 yr old phones or more is helpful. So here are some estimates of the base of devices in use.
— Ben Bajarin (@BenBajarin) September 17, 2019
Pre-iPhone 6=8%
iPhone 6 = 10%
iPhone 7=21%
iPhone 8=23%
62% of base WW not on X or later.
It's no secret that I thought the camera on the XS was a hot mess. But photos taken on new iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are genuinely impressive. This is without doubt the best camera on any smartphone today. The Pixel 4 is going to have to be astonishingly good to beat it https://t.co/FzJONYcBhg
— James Bareham (@Happicamp) September 17, 2019
Interesting. @reckless at @verge says if your iPhone is older than the XR, the 11 is worth getting. https://t.co/RktlWcwNhJ
— Dwight Silverman (@dsilverman) September 17, 2019
But @BrianXCHEN at @nytimestech says consider it if your iPhone is 5 years or older. https://t.co/w400IqDo5a
The NYT recommending that you shoot flash photos instead of upgrading your phone is some wild 2019 chaos energy https://t.co/Nn9dknhwZ1 pic.twitter.com/B3cB8FHpwj
— nilay patel (@reckless) September 17, 2019
I've not seen any Android manufacturer seriously entertain the idea that a customer using a phone 4-5 years after it's released should still have a "good" experience. And I'm not saying using an iPhone 6 is great in 2019, but I'm sure it's livable.
— David Ruddock (@RDRv3) September 17, 2019
A Galaxy S5 in 2019? uhhhhhhh
.@bxchen generally advised upgrading to the newest iPhone if you had your existing smartphone for two years. But something has now changed. https://t.co/xu0IChKYhO

Browsing through the iPhone 11 reviews: too bad the "upgrading from XS or XR" and "should you give up your XS for 11 Pro" angles are so strong, as if most readers were upgrading iPhone every year, like tech journalists. Pretty sure the vast majority is not.

Other small notes from our iPhone 11 Pro review:

- Smart HDR camera pipeline is now 10bit, up from 8bit
- True Tone light sensor now 5 wider color channels instead of 6 w/ white channel
- Spatial audio is virtual Dolby surround, supports Netflix 5.1https://t.co/2gGzdqrF6o
While everyone is busily sharing dog photos they took with the iPhone 11, I present this portrait of a fire hydrant, notable because the iPhone XR (the predecessor to the 11) could only shoot portrait mode photos of human subjects. Read my review.https://t.co/MYFBLxDzF4 pic.twitter.com/jcYvEYF2pO

Yes, the OS will still do this if the image is 'deemed worse'. Since the sensor in the telephoto is still inferior to the wide angle, this will still happen. Hardware details: https://t.co/XkOVoLixwU
