Anyone know if it’s possible to initiate your current phone trade-in AND use an Apple Store gift card during the pre-ordering process?
 
See the iPhone 15 Pro color series side by side.

I'm going with Silver if I decide to pull the trigger. It would be the first time I've ever gone with a white/silver color iPhone. All the previous ones have been OG, black, jet black, space grey, or last year's deep purple. Time for me to show the Silver some love lol. Although, if Apple does surprise us with an Ultra that looks like that mockup based off the AWU design, I will buy that instead.
I have the silver/white 14PM — beautiful combination. I will be getting the Ultra, so whatever that color ends up being is what I will go with. Ultra excited!
 
My uncle works at Nintendo and he says all new iPads will have joy-con rails and come with an Apple Silicon native Switch emulator, allowing access to Nintendo’s online store.

A dream would be a partnership between Apple and Nintendo, and the next Switch main chip be based on an A17 or A18. Maybe customised without the Neural Engine cores. THAT would be a dream: Industry leading graphics and outstanding battery life on a game console.
 
Yeah, it's gonna be that Titan Gray color for me. I miss the Graphite color from the iPhone 12 Pro Max (I got Sierra Blue for the 13 Pro Max), and have Silver for the 14 Pro Max. I like to switch it up every year, though I've never gotten the Gold color, so I'm not really sad to see it go.

One thing I can honestly say though, is that I like all of these colors and wouldn't mind have any of them.
I just hope for everyone’s sake it’s actually as grey as people are hoping, based on the renders accompanying the various rumors. I’m thinking there’s a possibility it’s going to look a lot like my Starlight SE3. Now I personally love that phone, but it’s not for everyone. The Titanium on the Apple Watch Ultra looks kind of like my Starlight colored iPhone and one of my Apple Watches. I also thought one of the newly colored power cords looked like a better match for Starlight and the one people think is for the grey is actually meant for the white-silver phone.

If it is a Starlight kind of shade, that may explain why Apple did away with gold this year as that would be their newest close approximation.

I guess we will have to wait and see.
 
I don’t even know why this is a discussion that’s happening.
We seen them introduce a new port on the iPhone before.
We’ve also seen them transition a lightning product over to USB-C before.
It’s really no mystery how they’ll introduce it.
They even got an excuse, at the original introduction of lightning They said it would last them “the next decade”, and that’s exactly what it has done.
Literally copy-paste bits of what they said when the iPhone originally got lightning and what they said when the iPad switched to USB-C and you’ll probably be very close.
They definitely won’t ignore it, they definitely won’t over emphasize it, but it will still be notable.

Let's see what happens. I think it's because Apple have effectively forced into it that makes it a bit awkward for them. If it was up to them you know they'd be persevering with that Lightning port for reasons known only to themselves.

It might be a shade close to Starlight, but Apple certainly won't name it "Starlight" as that's reserved for mid-tier and SE Apple products.

Apple never uses mid-tier and SE finishes for the high-end Pro devices.
 
Interested to see what the Ultra 2 watch will be like. My 6 is scratched and beat to death, but I might hold out another year.

Don't care about this round of iPhones.

No live keynote?

When is someone going to tell Tim Cook that COVID is over and people are back to doing live events?
The pre-recorded video events will never go away.

Apple has never gotten as much positive media attention for the events themselves as they have after doing the pre-recorded ones.

The memes they create are enough reason to keep doing them.

-It's the kind of marketing that's hard to manufacture.

No chance any Apple product sees big upgrades or external changes just one year post initial launch.

That's not how the Apple business model works:

AW Ultra 2 is just going to be a spec bumped AW Ultra with new finishes/colors for the housing and new bands. No new sensors or changes to the housing, display, glass type, etc.
 
I truly believe these iPhones will be the best iPhones they've ever made. Not just in purely superficial terms, but in profoundly impactful ways that will elevate the human experience to highest ever peaks.
 
I’ll watch but I don’t need to upgrade anything. My oldest is a 2018 mini and I’m still OK with it. Until I can’t upgrade and they start breaking stuff like icloud and facetime 🙄 Although if the watch Ultra has something new and amazing I might opt for that. But that‘s unlikely so I’m good to go.
 
Zoomed-in edition. This is what iPhone Pro Models will look like.

Y'know, that'd make it the grippiest, least likely to fall out of your hand iPhone ever. I'd kinda be pretty damned good with that. 🙂

Edit: Although a phone made of sandpaper would probably rip apart my jeans. How embarrassing.
 
No, but Apple's gotta gauge those iPhone sales before anything major happens for Macs or iPads.

Apple is iPhone first.

Every other Apple product is always lower priority, second in line (literally).
That is how it felt for such a long time. Up until the M1 Macs arrived. But I think Apple is doing a better job of keeping a balance between the iOS lineup and the macOS lineup. It's really only the iMac line that has been neglected in the last batch of Mac updates and I think that might have more to do with them redesigning the iMac much earlier than they initially anticipated due to user feedback from the last update. They seem to be listening to their audience more than they used to.
 
Good to know we'll have 3nm performance information in two weeks... Can't wait to see how soundly Intel beats it in the SporkFish benchmark. ;)

Although I do want to see the 3nm chip benchmarked...

If it’s Starlight and not gray, I’ll probably go for the blue color.

But I do hope it’s gray and closer to the Graphite color we used to have.
 
"We've made our most powerful iPhone ever" ..... Thank you

Now can you stop making stupid things like an iPAD in 2022 that doesn't support an apple pencil 2 of 2018
Can you give us real USB-C and not a USB-2 with a USB-C physical connector
Can you put the FaceTime camera on the iPAD air in the right pace
Can you make iPad pro really pro so I don't have to put my MacBook pro in my back pack
Can you make siri understand basic sentences beyond basic actions "turn on a light" & "send a message"
Can you make ram on mac upgradable
Can I please share MY music track from MY library on my MY iPhone with MY friends
Can you stop iOS (and its updates) crippling iPhone batteries after 12 months
Can you get rid of the notch ... others have and you're just the best
Can you stop forcing me to mortgage my house to buy storage options for a mac mini/studio

BTW: I already know processor M6 is better than M5, A32 better than A31, S22 better than S21, T7 better than T6. Go back to where you were good ... user experience and user freedom.
