No Titanium for the Pro models is where they lost me. No upgrade for sure.

More like an admission that titanium was a fuckup but they had to couch it in terms of an upgrade.

Really uninspiring and I think the design of the Pro phone is ugly. Not to mention the Liquid Ass iOS redesign. Apple needs some new blood in there.

If titanium was a fuck-up, why did they use it on the new Air model?

 

[Days like these...]

Regarding the new iPhone air and the new magsafe battery to help it get through the day

The new iPhone is like

"Incredibly thin - as long as you don't measure the bump"

Does anyone think that new strap that hangs your iphone down like a purse will take off into a new fashion trend?
I saw some of them showing it off and it was both silly looking and smart. A phone leashed to your neck so you can't drop it.

Because titanium has strengths and minuses, which make it well suited for a thin device with a smaller battery and thus lower power thresholds and poorly suited for a high end device designed to run at high spec

But both the new Pro and Air are packing the same A19 Pro chip?

do you understand the concept of throttling and lower clocks to preserve a smaller battery or are you just going to ask leading questions like an annoying redditor

It was a genuine question.

It was a genuine question.

titanium is stronger which is good for a thin device. But it doesn't dissipate heat as well as aluminum. A lot of people complained about recent iPhones throttling and getting too hot. So they are going back to aluminum. But keeping titanium for a device that will probably be designed to run slower and throttle because it is thinner and has a smaller battery.

I've got my preorders ready to go. Now I just need to call my bank tomorrow to tell them not to flag it as a fraudulent transaction lol.
