It’s almost that time! With the Apple event happening tomorrow, we’ll use this mega thread to talk about expectations, predictions, and anything else related to the big event.
Tomorrow, we’ll have a live event thread to discuss each announcement as it happens.
Fuck you apple for taking the 13 mini out of it.
I will use this mini until apple pries it from my cold dead hands (or at least release a new 5.7” or smaller device)
I’ve got to book a battery replacement. All the phones are matched at 6.1” and 6.7”.
They took the min and max out of the 13 and 12 lineups (but still sell the base phones)
The new official lineup is:
15, 15+, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 14, 14+, 13, SE
They still have a dead link to the 12 on their shop but it redirects you back to the main iphone page.
Interesting they killed the 13 Pro and 14 Pro, I bet they lost a lot of 14 Pro sales to the 13 with the discounts after release.
No mini 😑
The mini is up in mini heaven now
With li’l Sebastian.
May 5000 candles blow in the wind for them
Bro why did you have to mention lil Sebastian? I didn’t want to cry today. :(
I was already crying
iPhone mini RIP 2021-2023
My suggestion for the next Apple product - iThumb. Extend your digit to reach ever expanding phone displays.
🤞here’s hoping the next SE is mini sized.
Same SE in the lineup 😔
Curious to see what they cripple with usbc. And if they’re updating every lightning port product to usbc too. Be interesting if all phones will get the pill/dynamic island treatment. Hope it’s useful and not a gimmick when more apps support it
Most other Apple products already use USBC and have for a while. It’s only the iPhone they’ve been dragging their feet on.
Except magic mouse, keyboard, trackpad and airpods. Did I miss something?
Airpods will have a USB C case announced
I think it will be hilarious to watch them continue forcing their phones to communicate with USB2.0 speeds even after the move to USB-C just so they can push more people to buy overpriced iCloud storage. It will be 2060 and we will still have USB 2.0 on our apple phones.
I assume that the not pro iPhone will loose it’s port in the next 5 years completely.
[notifications to upgrade your iCloud storage intensifying]
🤣👌🏻
luckily, my dad pays for Apple One with 2 Tb
Are we shit posting in this thread?
Oh fuck, groundbreaking innovation of USBC. It’s Pro.
USB 2.0 speeds on the non-Pro model. Hah Apple…
An interesting effect of unifying Mac and iPhone tech is that games ported to Mac need little work to be ported to iPhone.
Getting actual AAA games on iPhone is kinda cool but still seems very impractical. Mostly because if you can afford an iPhone 15 pro you can afford a game console, Mac/PC, etc.
Controls are definitely the limiting factor at this point. I’ve tried a few console and PC game ports via Apple Arcade recently, and they all run great but the touch controls are really clunky - especially when they try to emulate analogue sticks.
It’s about time Apple took a stab at a games controller, leaving it to 3rd parties hasn’t created enough momentum. An Apple take on a gaming pad would be interesting, especially with some sort of MagSafe iPhone mount. A controller also seems a natural expansion for the Vision Pro.
I nominate @cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca for shitposter of the month. Their comments really made the event more entertaining
Thank you, I wasn’t sure if I was crossing that line into annoying territory, but I was missing the feel of Reddit live threads in Apollo.
Did I miss it our did they not announce release dates for iOS 17 etc?
No mention of itShould be the 18th
The newsroom article lists it in the footnotes.
Thanks, I just saw it on a website also.
Weird they didn’t mention it in the keynote, software release dates are usually up first. Maybe some last minute issues meant they couldn’t confirm a date during recording? I’ve not followed the latest betas that closely.
The latest betas run well but didn’t get the latest security updates, so should be run in lockdown mode until release.
They also don’t contain the new apps, except Healthy on iPad, which follows the template of Weather very closely.
I didn’t notice it either. Maybe they don’t know at this point.
If you missed it, I missed it too
“More repairable”
I know it’s a relative term from “not very”, it sounds good
Uhh. Who needs raytraced video games on their iPhone? I really doubt many mobile games are going to support and leverage that capability. If they do you would hard pressed to notice it on a phone screen.
It’s the best way to play Diablo!
I’m ready for a new iPhone. My XS needs an upgrade!
Same exact boat here. My xs has served me well but it’s time for an upgrade.
Seems like the base model 15 has everything I want. Not sure how they’re going to sell the pro model this year.
A17 chip, dynamic dot?
How many users would actually notice a difference between a16 bionic and a17? I’m sure the cameras will be nicer but the base model cameras seem great too
Just the YouTube reviewers.
Went on a vacation and my wife’s 13 got run over by a truck and my 12 pro back glass shattered by falling on concrete. Now I’m fully ready for new phones. Hopefully one of my kidneys is enough.
Me reading on my iPhone X: people seem to have too much money…
FYI you can get the back glass of a 12 repaired by a 3rd party for a reasonable price compared to a whole frame swap at the apple store basically.
Also the 13 board might still work if swapped into another totaled phone, just chuck it up on ebay. Someone will probably buy it as a project.Shhhhh he wants to spend his money.
I don’t know if the 13 board is salvageable. It was in a purse when it was run over, and the button in the purse almost punched through the screen out the back. As for the 12 pro, I’m not looking to replace that. Just changing the case to hide the back. I’ll check out about the back replacement. It might at least work for a trade in.
Guys, if you want your youtube channel to blow up right now, talk abou the event, be as clickbaity as you can
- “The iPhone 15 is a blast, I can’t even look at my 14 Pro Max anymore!”
- “The iPhone 15 titanium at $2000, is it worth it?”
- “Apple keynote: One more-more thing”
“DO NOT buy an iPhone 15 before you watch this”, thumbnail is a shocking face with mouth wide open, holding an iPhone and the HUGE texts “SHOCKING REVEALS. IS IT WORTH IT???”
It’s aerospace surgical titanium, it’s worth every penny.
Aw shoot, it’s Mars rover Tutanium
Virgin titanium < Chad recycled titanium
