That was probably my favourite bit.
iPhone 6S camera is so good, looks like it's worth putting up with iOS for.

At least that part was more interesting than force touch. As usual, it has an awesome camera but yeah, Apple.That was probably my favourite bit.

16GB iPhone 6S is now $899 in Canada. $1029 for the 64GB. lol.
They are increasing prices? Hope that doesn't happen over here. 800 euros is already too much. I won't give more than that for a phone.

Edit: Nope they aren't. Shows how much I know about apple
3D Touch definitely the highlight today. Digging the multiple options you get from a longpress. The whole peeking mechanic, however, seems kinda pointless. Multitasking makes much more sense being bound to force touch, which makes me wonder if they'll allow a double tap of the home button to now be used to launch the camera.
A man can dream.

I'd say Apple were determined to control some flow of money into Verges pockets, but we know they'd not be dumb enough to support their shitty level of writing. Think they were shitting on DSLRs too. They're just shit overall.
I still don't see Apple TV taking off in a big way. Has some cool features for us ability, but considering Smart TVs have a lot of the functionality, is the price worth it just to make the same content a little more accessible?
I'm talking actual video content here, not multiplayer isometric Frogger. Hell, even Samsung's shitty TV software has PS Now, uh, now.

Have we gotten sensor size and pixel pitch?
The Canadian Dollar has dropped in value so prices are rising for imported products.
They should at least let you choose what a double press does. Can be camera or whatever you want. Seems like a simple thing to do.

Thankfully the new iPhone looked hugely disappointing to me which pushes off any feeling towards me spending a boatload of money to upgrade towards one.

no no they are making JPG's into Quicktime video's and calling them images

Apple announces "Live Photos" - photos with moving pictures and sound
They also announce "Dead Videos" - still videos with no sound
Prices for the Moto 360v2 is ridiculous (at least in Canada). No way I can see Android Wear taking off at this pace
Also, it's $499 for the Huawei watch
Prices crash pretty hard on Android Wear so far. They won't stay that price for long.

AJ with the godlike post.
How poor will I look if I bought this phone?

Nobody will care because it looks like every other smartphone out there. Maybe put a case on the back to cover up 'BLU' though
Haha.

Well, the iPhone 6S is completely disappointing. Only Google can make this skip year into a buy year for me now.

I can't tell if you guys are serious. I couldn't watch it all because shit went down at work but is the 6S not exactly what people were expecting? S cycle is usually for minor spec bumps. or was there some rumour that didn't pan out.

How can you not tell? The conference sucked. End of story. I have yet to see why I should buy an iPhone.

Did no one post this?
It's a quality product and has the best apps and app store. Also, force touch is pretty nice. But you have other devices that do the trick. Just not the same way.

Force touch is so nice; Apple invented long presses on a smartphone as well as a gif maker.
I know y'all about the latest but does anyone have any experience with the LG G3 S / Beat?
looks like that's the one phone I can get from my carrier for free after breakin my S3
spec wise it actually seems a slight bit worse than the S3 (8gb internal opposed to 16gb. 1.2 cpu rather than 1.4) but it seems better on the software side of things (had the S3 rooted with archidroid tho) and a bigger screen (same res)
dunno. Im not doing too good on money so it might be enough
reviews arent great but mostly they just mention how its not really competitive cause of its price (ie better same-range phones), but my carrier offers it to me as a replacement with no more money on top
so...

LG G3 is a pretty good phone. Good camera, decent battery life. Just be warned that it gets hot fast. But if you're getting it free, I don't see a reason to turn it down.
it aint a G3 proper
its the "mini" version
called either S or Beat depending on the country (Beat here)
the Moto G 2014 seems to be the best reviewed and overall liked around the same specs
im just not sure why

yes it is. the 5.2 inch one.
I would still rather have a normal speaker and smaller bezels than these. And yes I know there are ways to get front facing speakers AND small bezels but it was never gonna happen on a cheaper phone.
Well, if you can't see how force touch adds to the usability and the gif maker is a fun thing that will be more accessible to everyone, you have the right to your opinion. I haven't yet seen a better implementation, at least of force touch, on any other phone.
It's not game changer, but are good things to have.

So...the iPad pro is going to force Samsung to release a new Note Pro, right?
I needs me a new Note tablet!

Between the iPad and Surface, I don't think Samsung will bother. I don't think their high end tablets do great.
