@WrCombs yeah. What I would suspect is that there aren't any better chips out for Apple or their R&D has slowed down and opt'd to keep the older more frequently sold models around so as to have a larger offering without having to create 2-4 additional models with different chips.

Watching the Apple Event...and I'm a Microsoft / Android guy...
So which existing, old technologies are they adding to their new stuff this year? They always seem to be a decade behind android on so many things.
I try to be objective with the Apple Announcements since the senior staff prefers iPhones but so far, I've seen nothing earth shattering...
All iPhones have been announced...seems like they have matched the Note Series and Pixel Phones on some abilities on the Camera...and they have simplified the naming convention: .iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro MAX. They will continue to sell the XR and iPhone8 in the coming year.
Interesting - they are keeping the iPhone 8.... is that because it's the last phone with a fingerprint reader?
Likely because many people don't / can't spend <1000 for a f***** phone so they need a low end model to sell to the masses.
OK - yeah.. that's better than I was expecting..

Vs what? I'm using an iphone 7 and it works fine.. so I'm guessing an 8 will just be faster.

That's a subjective question. If you have an iPhone 5 or 6 absolutely way faster phone. Still an old phone (that may have been on a shelf for a few years).

Fair enough - I just was thinking as an android user thinking about switching - Would I be better off with an 8 or would I be better off with the 10r or 10s?
but now that I think about it, That depends on a) price B) personal preference based on playing with both phone.. -

The iPhone 11 is $699. Why get an ancient 8 for only $100 less.
The iPhone Pro is the expensive model.

@dafyre Time will tell. I installed PowerFaids for my first users this week and Jenzabar sent a guy down from Dallas for their training.

Cool. Let me know what you think of the Jenzabar stuff. When I started my last job, we used Jenzabar's POISE (a very, very, very, very old telnet based system that we used when I started there). Whenever other institutions had an oddball problem, My boss was the person that Jeznabar would call if they couldn't figure out what was going on, lol.

Drawing up some plans on how to rearrange and backup our shares, especially for our large file users <4GB. Since those are the biggest trouble items we have to deal with today.
