That is correct. Save all that money you were going to spend on new products, and buy Apple stock the day after the event. Then sell that stock later when after the stock has bounced back, and get all of those products for free using the profit you made. You heard it here first.
Can’t wait.
bland iterative update
no bundled headphones
no bundled charger
One more thing: thanks to you suckers, I’m now a billionaire

Can't wait for that $1,000 device with a 60hz refresh rate screen lol
Can’t wait for the extra 5 hours of screen and battery time. Oh wait that’ll be next year.
Where are all the hidden messages?
This is way too easy to decipher. My inner Sherlock is outraged.

This part of the article is wrong:
Because 5G technology is expensive, Apple is planning to eliminate the power adapter and earbuds that traditionally come with an iPhone, instead offering a separate power adapter for purchase.
It should read: Because Apple customers have tons of power adapters with USB ports, Apple is not shipping another power adapter. Because Apple expects customers to chose the better wireless features of AirPods, Apple is not shipping wired earbuds.
Cost ain't driving this decision. Saving Apple $10 in manufacturing cost on those items and a few bucks in shipping by making packaging small is a nice plus. But the power adapters and earbuds are sitting in drawers for many customers for the last few iPhones.

They could have made all their devices handle mesh too. Apple TV, Home Pod, even iPhone if it was plugged in and charging. And since mesh systems use separate faster wireless connection to communicate to each other, Apple devices could use that non-standard connection and could be way faster than any wifi standard.
And not passing that total cost increase onto consumers is also a nice plus.
I’m REALLY pumped about an iPhone 12 mini! I miss having a smaller screen on my iPhone that does not sacrifice in performance.
“Only” two cameras instead of three should be fine — I have one on the Xr and life works.

Can't wait for that Qualcomm modem instead of the crap Intel modem in my X!
Why would there be "S" models if they don't have base "12"s yet?
Day one iPhone X owner. I am upgrading to iPhone 12 Pro 6.1 inch finally..
Maybe it will the event that will be fast!!!
No 15 mins about how amazing is the AppStore, no fortnite demo on new iPhone...
Less blabla, no amazing charger in the box, no headphone... 😅😂

I think the last 4" iPhone had something like 6 or 7 percent of total sales. Like the 17" MacBook Pro that everyone wanted and nobody bought.
I'm going to set expectations here, the iPhone 12 will not be ground breaking so if you have an iPhone 10 or later, skip it unless you want 5G. The REAL iPhone upgrade will come with iPhone 13.
What I'm hoping for but probably won't happen are Bluetooth capable Homepods, the new AppleTV, and iPad Pro refresh.

I'm afraid to be a first time buyer too but I need an iMac like, yesterday. So I'll take a chance but I will deff buy Apple Care just in case.The shipping time on Airs and iPad Pros are suspiciously long, and not an Apple store withing hundreds of miles of me has any inventory. 1's and two's of high-end configs and that's it.
I'm betting the pro's have an imminent refresh about to drop which would be logical, but the Air's were recently updated.... maybe wishful thinking, but imminent refresh with Apple silicone?
I want to buy a new Mac but I do not want burned again like I was from the Power PC move to Intel. I'm also afraid to be a first time buyer if an Apple silicone model but I'll take one for the team there.
There’s something a bit wrong here with this plan...unless you are you assuming the stock will double for the rebound?
Main reason to upgrade: 5G
and when people are ready to travel again, it'll be more than worth it. 5G is in a lot of places around the world.

What groundbreaking functionality are you assuming the iPhone 13 would have? Folding? Meh.
