Support NeoGAF

[lachesis]

I'm content with iPhone 13 Mini, which I think I will have it till it's dropped from OS support list in a few years.

I am however looking forward to M4 Mac Mini though. Thinking about picking it up for my work from home. Since I'm on PC - I have a loaner MBP from work for work purposes (intel based one) - but if Mac MIni M4's pricing is somewhere around 600-700 on base model, I think I will just get one, make my life easier with KVM settings and all.

Super happy the AirPods Max don’t get an significant update beyond usb-c because I bought one just a few months ago.

 

[tommib]

I thought they were updating the AirPods Pro but it’s all software updates for hearing loss.

 

[SJRB]

I thought they were updating the AirPods Pro but it’s all software updates for hearing loss.

The software is incredible though. This hearing aid stuff is insane.

good, can save money
not the biggest fan of the airpod pro max colors

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

No hearing aid function in the UK it seems.

you guys have strict laws, US lets anyone do anything, which is why we are all fat and out of shape


Fast forward thru this iPhone 16, lets get to the pro.

ULTRAMARINE

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Apple intelligence.

 

[tommib]

That’s quite the chip for the standard 16.

 

[ADiTAR]

Ugh, so much sugary shit.

 

[Erebus]

 

[SJRB]

I hate this Craig guy

 

[LordCBH]

That blue is really pretty. I like it.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Trying too hard isn’t he.

 

[dorkimoe]

pretty cool the AI stuff is private no?:

 

[tommib]

Private Cloud Compute seems targeted at terrorist organisations.

 

[Davevil]

pretty cool the AI stuff is private no?:

 

[tommib]

Oh, no. Generative art on your messages.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Christ you’ll never need to think for yourself again. Sometimes the life lesson is sending a shitty email.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Is Apple acting like they invented everything they're presenting? Otherwise I'm not seeing anything super impressive but I do like the CPU and GPU bump

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Nice, Apple Intelligence can find all the dick pics I took.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Surely you don’t need AI to find the cock pics.

 

[tommib]

Nice, Apple Intelligence can find all the dick pics I took.

Surely you don’t need AI to find the cock pics.

 

[SJRB]

Bro 98% of these “features” of Apple intelligence are just fluff nonsense.

Who uses their phone like this?

 

[K' Dash]

They should have shown only the new AirPods and sent an email for everything else.

No new Maxs? Fuck’em.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Bro 98% of these “features” of Apple intelligence are just fluff nonsense.

I don’t know mate. Cowboy frog though eh?

 

[tommib]

Oh I like that poster capture adding concert dates to your calendar. I take those all the time.

 

[kruis]

Every Apple iPhone/iPad/iMax presentation is exactly the same. 30% faster here, 10 grams lighter there, the same breathless superlatives used every year for an iterative update presented by a string of personality drained milquetoast presenters and accompanied by slick videos and photos of Apple product users of every ethnic group (except for white men).

It's become impossible for me to sit through these interminably long presentations. What Apple needs is someone with a big hammer to smash the whole company to pieces and start it up again.

 

[ADiTAR]

All of this is done by google lens and Samsung already has all of this.

 

[Kar]

Show me the iPhone 16 pro stuff please.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I keep expecting this bloke to start doing the river dance the way he keeps moving.

 

[Erebus]

Google Lens does this for ages now.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

All of this is done by google lens and Samsung already has all of this.

Awesome. Now people who prefer IOS will have access too

 

[diffusionx]

All these companies are throwing everything at the wall to try to come up with something, anything, to justify "AI".

 

[Carmen Winstead]

They were so fucking clueless and uncreative they had to create a camera button to sell it as a new and innovative feature…
These guys are something else.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I miss the other guy who used to spend about half an hour telling you about the aperture settings.

 

[ADiTAR]

wow that camera control is totes revolutionary, adding a button to what you could already do on the screen.

Jobes is prob rolling in his grave thinking he wanted less buttons

 

[LordCBH]

looks nice. I’m way overdue for an upgrade. My 11 Pro old now

 

[diffusionx]

This is brutal, sorry.

The differences between devices are so small. For two years in a row it's a new button. They should wrap these things up in 30-45 minutes tops.

 

[dorkimoe]

All of this is done by google lens and Samsung already has all of this.

yeah but you have to run that horrible OS..so...

 

[Davevil]

yeah but you have to run that horrible OS..so...

 

[tommib]

Better ray-tracing than AMD, I bet.

 

[diffusionx]

Better ray-tracing than AMD, I bet.

Let's discuss tomorrow!

 

[EverydayBeast]

Gaming looks functional

 

[thefool]

Were they afraid to display how much 2x faster was in percentage?

 

[Mortisfacio]

Watching the game lag a bit in the background was amusing.

 

[tommib]

So we’re going to have an A18 Pro for the Pro or jumping straight to 19.

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Who needs real innovation when you can have Genmoji?

 

[FullMetalx117]

At this point I care more about the number of the iPhone versus the minor upgrades themselves. I want an iPhone '17'...biggest question on my mind is if next year will be 16S or 17
