Software locked hardware that is 😉

Remember how we needed the new iPhone 15 hardware to set the battery limit at 80%? 😆

Not so sure about AirPods Max and watch Ultra 3. Definitely expecting capture button on all models.

It will be interesting to see about an ultra 3. If there is a 10 with new hardware features, but not an ultra, that would be quite odd. But I guess we'll find out soon

Was just about to say the same thing, why can’t this come to older devices?

Yep, very much very odd, unless, there would be no new HW (SiP and sensors) in the 10, which would be very odd too

It's crazy to me to think that Apple is still iterating on the same basic form factor they introduced with the iPhone 11. iPhone 11 to iPhone 16. Never before has Apple refused to do any major refresh of the iPhone for so long, and for that reason these iPhone events are just a recurring snoozefest each year.

Snoozefest, but yet you are one of the very first to click on the article, and will be watching the event lol

I'll be a bit disappointed if an Apple Intelligence iPad mini isn't the "just one more thing", but I've waited very long to replace my iPad mini 4, so I'll probably manage another month...
