can lossless be added via software? or is it a hardware thing?

Why is the 16 Pro being shown off in dookie brown? Why not a nice blue color? Guess I’ll be getting the black one.

Wait so the Neural Engine didn't gain cores and it stayed at 35 TOPS which is the same as the 15 pro? I thought there would be a bigger ML push

We really reached that point that yearly upgrades just makes everything look the same.

I'll keep my 14 pro for at least 2 or 3 years tbh. Might replace the battery down the line and that's it.

I think I'll just hold on to my iPhone 13 Pro for another year and just upgrade to Watch 10 this year.

Damn they really showed nothing new for AI, guess they had nothing else and are really behind, otherwise they knew the entire market was watching for another AI push

The neural engine doesn't even seem faster? Still 35 TOPS.

I'm ready for an engineer CEO like John Ternus

Airpods Max 2 still have that insane case design huh.

It's not all that bad in my experience. Yeah it's ugly but the case is pretty sturdy and the build quality of the headphones themselves is excellent, so when you're just casually traveling and they're in your bag nothing will happen.

Still rocking my 11 normal. Just like previous years, nothing shown that makes me want to drop $800 to upgrade even though I’m running out of space and battery is getting iffy.

maybe I should get a discounted 14 or something at this point.

The new Apple Watch is meh.
Colours aren’t for me. Where’s a dark colour that isn’t gloss?
And why make it almost 10% thinner which is hardly noticeable instead of just jacking up the battery life to a full day.

The software is incredible though. This hearing aid stuff is insane.
I already use them in loud places all the time, I carry a pair with me all the time when I'm out.

A few weeks ago I had to sit a bit to close to the music at a wedding and I would have gone deaf without the Pros.

You can always change your battery

yeah but you have to run that horrible OS..so...
I switched from iOS to Android in 2018 and never looked back, give me a break. This isn't 2011 anymore where the differences were obvious, hell, i'd argue since Jellybean and Project Butter it was equal and just kept getting better. My 6a and Graphene OS feels so good. Something about the iPhone X killed my interest, they felt like boutique products vs high end devices.

It's been a Bluetooth thing with aptx for years, no idea why Apple hasn't had it. Android is embracing it this year I believe but it's been a codec standard available for almost 10 years
