Apple Announces 'Far Out' September 7 Event Set to Feature iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8 and More

[DaRaider65]

If it all proceeds as planned, I’ll order 14PM before work on the 9th, and a week later, I’ve just scheduled that day off so will be at my local UPS hub and be in and out of there in 5 minutes with the new phone. 📱
Then I go to the dentist office 🦷
Over the last 3 years, I was always the first or second to pick it up in Lubbock, TX.

I can't wait. The 7th will be a very exciting day.

4 (first smartphone)

6s
X
Xs Max
11 Pro Max
12 Pro Max
13 Pro Max
Been buying every year ever since it’s been my own money.

Let me get my list from my signature:

• iPhone A1533 > iPhone 5s
• iPhone A1865 > iPhone X

Before that I owned iPod Touches:

• iPod A1288 > iPod Touch 2nd Gen
• iPod A1421 > iPod Touch 5th Gen
• Pod A1574 > iPod Touch 6th Gen

Unfortunately, my income doesn't allow me to purchase iPhones every year and I also don't think it is even needed. Apple, unlike Google and Android, has been doing a stellar job keeping older models updated and running decently fast after their release, so purchasing a new phone every year is not recommended for the mainstream.

I also enjoy the insane dopamine rush I get when I upgrade after a decently long time. The rush I felt when I upgraded from the 5s to the X was insane! I can't wait to get that same sort of reaction when I plan on upgrading from the X to the 14 Pro in 2 weeks!

Hope there’s a new Mac mini , probably buy one for my brother for Xmas , he’s on a 2014 model and it’s definitely starting to show its age …

Wrong event, check back in October...! ;^p

I would love, Love, LOVE to see a ruggedized Apple Watch 8 with stand-alone cell & data service...

But for the October Mac event, I would expect M2 & M2 Pro Mac minis; and maybe a preview of the first ASi Mac Pro...?

 

[Al Rukh]

I think I have owned maybe 8 out of the 14 models.

What’s your number?

3G, 5, 6, SE1, 7, 8, XR, 11PM, 13, SE3, 13PM.

I too would be excited by that, but I can't see it happening at this event. The September event is usually iPhone, iPad and wearables, the only one of which I'm interested in (potentially) is the AirPods Pro 2. I'm not a serial iPhone upgrader and am excluded from using the watch.

 

[Schizoid]

Tim does an enriching intro.

Jeff stands somewhere nice and shows his slightly different watch.

Some people who could be bothered to turn up to work explain the 10% better iPhone.

Tim comes back with his beautiful trainers and tells us everything we’ve just watched again.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

I’m hoping Craig will open the event with a tap dance routine, set to Rush music. That would be far out.

 

[beerseagulls]

far out?

as in the inflated new prices of the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will be so far out of the reach of most people?

 

[ninecows]

I think I have owned maybe 8 out of the 14 models.

What’s your number?

3GS
4S
6S
12 mini

I simply dont get the “I need the newest model all the time because I don’t give a **** about earth resources and money” mentality. But that’s just me I guess

(Edit: and the 4S was actually given to me by my employer. Would probably have kept the 3GS otherwise)

 

[shah1]

Such a shame no new Mini model will be released! Will have to settle for a 13 Mini to replace my old XS

 

[Ddregs]

I think I have owned maybe 8 out of the 14 models.

What’s your number?

3G, 4, 5, 6 Plus, 6s Plus, 7 Plus, 11 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max. But in a family with wife and 2 sons, 14 and 12 yrs old, I usually buy a phone when I need to replace an old one. Now it's the time for a 6s Plus replacement , home button and camera are broken. I must add iPhones are quite reliable though, they survived me for a lot of time.

Tim: take a note of this… we need to make them last shorter time. Anything longer than 2 years is money out of our pockets.

Whoops - did that go out to all?

 

[vkd]

It seems that it'd be more honest now to call it the iCamera - that has phone functionality. The all-new iCamera, with built-in phone, iPod, video player, gaming, messenger device. I bet the overall average time spent on phone calls from all iPhones sold is about 5%.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Word? Are you going to the Apple event? did you RSVP yet?

oh no ... I need a new passport and havent' RSVP but most likely I'll be getting the standard Pro model.

This whole 're-use last years cpu with more RAM' is a VERY bad idea I think, and gives too much of a chance that Google or Samsung or anyone else to catch up on their mobile cpu's. The danger with that is it means they'll have a HUGE chance at desktop ARM cpu's should Microsoft open up their ARM Windows beyond their own development and partnership with Qualcomm. Meaning in a few short years it's possible they'll outperform Apple Silicon for desktop/laptops - I hope not though.

That's the old world thinking.

You're forgetting about Apple's services and tie-ins.

AC+ being extended - pure revenue without much cost.
Tie in to other products and services: AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac's, cases, wallets, Garageband add-ins (etc or the like), ATV+ AppleNews+ etc.

The Ecosystem is like The Force bruh ... that's the money in their pockets

 

[compwiz1202]

What I would give to hear Cook say "and this year we are offering iPhone in an all new color ... Trippin Balls." LMAO. I can hear it clear as a bell.

You're gonna think it's groovy to the max, man!

3

iPhone SE (2016)
iPhone XS
iPhone 12 mini

That’s it.

🥱

 

[DennisdeWit]

Phones I have owned: every model since the iPhone 3GS.

 

[TVreporter]

Yes! I upgraded from the x to the 13 pro max and was happy with the decision. Upgrading to the 14pro, you’ll notice a difference.

I’m finally caving and retiring my 8-plus. Now will my wallet stretch for the Pro… to be determined.

 

[ShadowGuardian87]

I have owned the following iPhones

iPhone 3G

iPhone 4- camped out at my local apple store for it. Was one of the funniest and most tiring things I did 😂 .

iPhone 5

iPhone 6

iPhone 7plus

iPhone XS

iPhone 11 Pro Max



Soon- iPhone 14 Pro Max

 

[ShadowGuardian87]

Anyone else heard the rumor that the base model of the 14 pro max will have 256 GB instead of 128? This is because of the rumored 100 price increase. If that ends up being true, I should be good with the base pro max model since 256 GB is more than enough space for what I do on my phone.

 

[Azzurro]

I honestly hope this is true. 256 would also be enough for me

Did you miss the 8?

No, that was the year they forked the form factor. It was either the 8 or X.

I wanted the newest ‘No Home Button’ style and FaceID.
