  • Apple Watch series 10 and SE3
  • Apple Watch Ultra 3 possibly absent from event, Ultra 2 color update possible
  • AirPods 4 and Improved AirPods Max with USB-C port
I'm still using an iPhone 13 Pro and I'm curious to see if they will convince me to upgrade with the 16 Pro.
So who is watching?

I think the problem is they nailed the form, everything else is software now.

I'm not sure there's much they can do that's really exciting now. Older people (like me) will know the excitement of mobile phones changing, my first phone didn't even have a camera. Colour screens were new.

I don't see how anything will be as exciting again.

I really want to update my Series 5 Apple Watch but the rumors/leaks haven't been amazing considering it's the 10th anniversary.

If it doesn't do an iPhone X I might try to hold out another year with it on life support.

Same, and I'm not switching. Don't care, phone works perfectly fine still.

Judging from the leaks, I'll probably wait out another year. iPhone 17 series will probably have more substantial changes even on the design.

I'm on Series 4 and the battery has degraded significantly after all these years. Also, I think they're dropping support with the new WatchOS.
 
Loving my iPhone 15 Pro and have no plans to upgrade for some time, but I'm interested to see what they announce. I'll have to catch the highlights on this tonight, I'll be on the road when it starts.

yeah they are indeed. My battery is horrible, I can't imagine yours.

If I do a 30-40 minute run with music it's near dead. Thankfully it charges up again quite fast.
 
Fun drinking game:

- Take a shot every time someone says "Apple Intelligence"
- Take a shot every time Tim Cook says a sentence in the exact same intonation as the previous one
- Take two shots when there's a bizarre transition, like someone breakdancing or doing parkour

There is so much they could do, different phone formats, phone with display outside, flip phones etc., phone with physical keyboard

Yeah, I guess. You sort of have to wonder why there hasn't been a popular phone with a physical keyboard for over a decade though.

But either way, it's not going to be exciting. Not like when screens went colour and you could take pictures on your phone. Those things were a big deal, I just can't imagine something like that coming along now. I think it's just iterations from now on.

Do people still look forward to these things? Phones leveled out a long time ago. We will get a slightly faster CPU and GPU, a couple imperceptible design tweaks, a camera that they claim is way better but will produce pictures that look identical, and that's about it.

I used to but now I'll just look to tomorrow at the prices and the pre-ordering system.
 
The deep blue is a fantastic color on iPhone 15pro… but this brown color? Who the fuck EVER asked for that? Worse is they replaced the deep ocean blue with this shit color?
 
i used to be so engaged with tech news..now at 40 idc..company renews our apple devices every 2 years but i dont even know whats new each iteration

I'm wondering if it's time to replace my iPhone 12 or if I hold out another year.

I loved my 12. Was a great phone. I went to 14 pro it wasn't all that different other than battery life. My kid had 15 and it's pretty much the same too. If the battery is still good, I'd say just hold
 
I want to hear for once, "this is the worst iPhone we've ever created" or at least "this iPhone isn't the best we could've done"

but really looking forward to new Macbooks. And really hope to see iMac 27" pro.
 
I still keep buying 2nd gen Airpods. Pretty much yearly.

I have Pro's and 3rd gens.. but 2nd gen are just the best. imo.


I hate that "squeeze the stem" shit.


That said.. for some reason the Mic on the 2nd gen always dies on me. ALWAYS. I don't know what i do to them.

My favourite moment during every Apple Watch Ultra segment is when they randomly start mentioning sports you can do with the watch.

"Omg I can play golf with this thing??"
 
They basically always go back to the same script just change the chip names and that's it. It's the same presentation.
