Like most Apple events, a lot of things Samsung has had for a while, but some serious attention to UX, and the new iPhone looks pretty damns slick. New A11 Bionic chip sounds pretty amazing, but I'm not super caught up on how the rest of the industry looks and how it stacks up. But Apple's custom hardware to work with its software is always a strength.

As a software developer, the easier switching-between-apps feature stands out as something which could promote more native app development. As it stands, app use is major power law distribution, with the big companies dominating peoples' time. But easier switching will make it more appealing to download that extra app.

As an iOS Developer, I also agree that the iPhones looks amazing, especially in the processing chip department. Since support for AR and ML have been came out recently. it is nice to see hardwares that could keep up with these new technologies.

I'm a bit worried about FaceID though, it's a good technology to begin with but I don't know how easy it is to use for real life scenarios.
