13 mini is worth it. No regretsDamn I was hoping the 13 mini would be cheaper now but it’s the same price as before
What is more insane is that the price difference between the regular 13 and the 14 is so small that you would be an idiot to get a 13.
This applies to Sweden.
I did notice that and didn't recognise it from previous shots/scenes/clips. What was that?
Probably just b-roll. But Apple never gets "cute" with b-roll in these presentations or really ever.
The SOS connectivity will be free. The rescue will be $100,000
USA USA USA!
We forget sometimes that the largest iPhone market is the average consumer, many of which are on 2-3 year upgrade cycles. Many iPhone users will be very happy with iPhone 14.
You must be joking. It’s the worst upgrade ever. In fact it’s a non upgrade.
Yeah really contemplating over the last couple of hours just keeping my 12 which was not the plan until I saw the pricing. Tempted to make do and upgrade my watch to the Series 7 as the Series 8 was also a bit disappointing. This has got to be the most disappointing launch since the iPhone 7 for me. Nevermind, at least I still have a fairly decent phone I suppose lol.
I’m glad I bought two apple series 7 watches Nike edition for 269 from aafes recently
But a problem I still don’t like is music is capped to 8gb I think

They’ve abandoned S. New year, new number.
Next year, both phones will get a chip upgrade. They just needed this one occasion to establish the new pattern - namely, Pro will now always have the better chip.
Obviously I’m guessing here. But it seems a reasonable expectation.

The iPhone 14's best feature is that it makes the 13 $100 cheaper
Yes and now it’s 2022, smartphones have been near perfect for years.
We will see smaller upgrades, same as with computers, every year a speed bump but no giant leaps in hardware technology to build great software around like it was in 2007.
People will buy this because it makes even better pictures and has a fresh battery. Everybody will be happy.
iPhone switched to a 'number naming' so the iPhone 13s name cannot apply, but this is really a minor upgrade. Very minor. And disappointing.
People with an iPhone 11 that doesn't require or have 5G can skip this one too.
For the iPhone "Pro", come on, a "Pro" phone with only 6 GB of RAM (almost confirmed)? The 14 Pro will suffer in two or three years from now with lag due to lack of enough memory to handle a 48 MP camera plus notifications and apps.
Another thing is the Lightning port. Now, we have unique charger for our phones. And a USB-C for everything else, including computers, consoles, etc.
No, thanks. I'll stick with my 2019 256 GB 11 Pro Max, and my wife will stick with her 2019 128 GB 11.
Apple, give us an 8 GB RAM + USB-C iPhone next year!

That sucks, so that basically translates to, it will cost you ~100k to use that one function (avg extraction costs) vs messaging your best friend to come find your dead body somewhere.
I don’t think it’ll be in as huge demand as I thought it would be now it’s launched at a starting price of £949. It’s more expensive than the 14 Pro is in America! Crazy prices.
Agreed. This is the weakest upgrade ever for the normal iPhone. I was wondering what would they say about reusing A15. And it wasn’t convincing.
And the pro model still uses lightning port. I just don’t get it. They manage usb-c on the iPad but can’t make it work on iPhone?
Also, Apple Watch 8 is pretty much Apple Watch 7. I’m gonna pretend this year event never happens.
The Pro models aren’t exactly a good deal either at £1099 and £1199. I really hope demand across the entire range drops across Europe. Mobile phone upgrades were less of a necessity anyway but the price hikes across all products will hopefully make an impact and put people off completely in significant numbers.
