I hope they show how to use the Lidar thing.

it will fit in the Apple car windshield holder and be used for self driving 😅😂 after launching new Appledrive app...

No seriously I don’t know what to say, appart IKEA application or Minecraft or any augmented reality app...
 
I'm pretty sure this is the first time no real frame or model has been leaked, only CAD designs or mock ups.

We've had whole phones, sim trays and frames leak but nothing from an actual real iPhone 12 this time.

My X could go for year 4 without a problem. iOS 14 is giving me much better battery life, AW5 on watchOS 7 too. Maybe I'll skip 12. I am not decided just yet.
 
So there wont be the 5,8 size anymore? That’s sad :( I love the size of my XS, I don’t want it to be smaller but 6,1 ( XR ) is too big for me. Found 5,8 to be perfect
6.1 should still be the same body as the 5.8 on the pro at least.
 
I find it funny how people always get re-excited about speed bumps of future products, meanwhile they are currently using the "speeds" they were excited to get a couple of years ago.

As a 5G user, don't get your hopes up. Tweeting and posting on Instagram is just as fast. It only shows when you are downloading large files like multiple 100MBs...and as we know we all have usage limits from our carriers so better keep that large downloads for Wifi.

Result? 0 reason to get 5G...unless they plan to give like 1TB monthly usage or something.
 
Not that I miss my hour long commute, but I do miss listening to music. Since quarantine, I will watch youtube videos with one earbud in, but I don't like the feeling of having both ears plugged and not being able to hear what's going on around me. Just today I started using a bluetooth speaker in the kitchen while making dinner, and it really helps with my end of day mood.
The latest AirPods have a mode where they amplify outside sound, so that it is exactly as loud as if you didn't wear the AirPods. Opposite of noise cancelling.
 
Still waiting to purchase that iPad Air, Apple 😡 I love 4-5 week lead times across most product offerings.
I’m with you on iPad Air. I read where they don’t want to give reviewers an opportunity to test the A14 chip with an iPad which would upstage the expected event boasting for the chip in the phone. So the Air will be available probably after the phone event.

Same here but let's see how this 6.1 feels.
The XR has a LCD display with bigger bezels so an OLED phone could be slightly smaller.
If they go back to a more squared design I could use it without a cover, so even a bigger display would feel smaller to hold in my hand.

I was about to agree with you, but you’re incorrect. The chassis did leak. It definitely took a long time though. I guess because of the delayed launch.

 
Including that incident few weekends ago or are we going to let that slide?
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. :)

I bought a MacBook Pro a little over a month ago and it took a little over a week to arrive from China. I *wanted* an Intel Mac because I'm a platform developer and want to run x64 windows in a VM. Not something that I think you'll be able to do on an Apple Silicon MacBook AFAIK and they've been circumspect about it.

I bought the MacBook Air to replace an aging MacBook that is used for household things like budgeting, documentation, music.... that'd be fine using Apple Silicon. I'm weighing cancelling the order...

Then again, the MacBook Pro has an issue waking up from sleep and crashing that seems to be plaguing a lot of people with 2019 MacBook Pro 16" and 2020 MacBooks and it looks like it may be an Intel issue.
 
I'm still on a X. It still works great but I would like to try a bigger phone. I've never had a larger screen before. I read a lot of comics on my phone. I think the bigger screen would be nice. I have no need for 5G. I'm out in the country. I can barely get LTE most places around here.
 
Just received an email from a carrier here in the UK - ‘exciting news imminent‘ - I wonder what that could be? 😜

So true. But still exciting!
 
Is this Apple's 3rd event this year? Seems like they have gone a little event happy this year with WWDC, the Ipad show and now this. I'm not sure if I'm going to buy a new phone (I'm ending my second year with the XR and it still works) but if this brings IOS 14.1, I'll be satisfied. I still with they reimagined Apple Music though.
 
Can you post the e-mail here?
It’s not got any detail, and the picture doesn’t really look like an iPhone, but I feel confident this is in reference to the Apple event :)

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.

I'll set some expectations as well. There is always something better on the horizon. None of of us can say, for certain, that we'll make to said horizon. Recommend living in the now while you can. Enjoy, while you can. Or always be waiting. #options
Cheers!
 
I wish they put as much effort on the iOS wallpapers as they do on the event announcement illustrations.
Hello, it's 2020 and there's this thing called the Internet. Whoinhell cares what default images $PHONE_VENDOR puts on their device?
