More ostentatious prattling by Cook & Co. More asininely expensive products.
Can't wait
Hey, iPhone changed the world. I use my iPhone several times every week! Way more than my golf clubs I can tell you that!
Except the '57 Bel Air to the '58 was a disaster.(although the '58 was in "American Grafitti" as Richie Cunninghams's(not the right name-forgot the actor's name momentarily)). :0I'm interested in seeing just how far off the guesses were this time. I suspect another massacre like with the WWDC. I also suspect another ho-hum year of incremental, overpriced updates with features I don't need. Basically they will polish the old paint jobs and tell us how wonderful these slightly different new models are. That is the American way, slightly change the taillights and call it a whole new design!
I am always amazed by people who take the effort to type hyperbole like this. I could never in a million years go to such an extent.
Has anybody done a Deep Dive into what Qualcomm 5G chip is expected (& its benefits), as well as whether expecting support for W-Fi 6E is realistic ?
To me, the most-important upcoming features (this year OR next) are (in order of importance / value):
1.) TouchID under Glass,
2.) Wi-Fi 6E support (rare, true Game Changer potential here),
3.) Latest Gen Qualcomm 5G chip (higher-performance AND better power efficiency).
Only #1 will get me to absolutely upgrade to an iPhone 12s/13.
#2 will probably convince me to do so (over time, as the Wi-Fi 6E Applications become prevalent).
The "measured" / real world benefits of #3 should be known within one month of Release, so by end of Oct.
Here in the States, just like with the iPhone 12 family, the cellular carriers will drive adoption.
BTW, while they haven't gotten much Air Time, I really like the descriptions of the three new Photo Filters that are coming with either the iPhone 12s/13 family AND/OR iOS 15.
They could be, IMO, the talk of the show on the 14th !
That is, if whoever presents them (Tim, Phil, ?) does a good-enough job.

Ya think????I'm not a cryptographer but I can clearly see in the invite that 9 stands for september and the 14 is the fourteenth of september. Expect some new products from Apple on september the 14th guys
Over/under on price increase and once initial stock goes out how bad are delays?
I say $10-25 per model price and delays kick past Thanksgiving. Pricing is a guess but the delays will be bad like all other electronics. This will be demand is 10x to what supply can maintain.

I have to say, I honestly don't give of fuggin' fugg about the iPhone announcement... I mean, it's almost guaranteed to be the standard "bump" upgrade. For me, it's all about the MacBook Pro!
(I'm afraid I'll be disappointed again, but I guess we'll see.)

For some reason, I am imagining Tim Cook jumping up on stage, and Oprah Winfrey style yelling "You're a predator, you're a predator, you're a predator..." while announcing they are going ahead with CSAM in-device scanning.
Oh and let's see if the privacy guy appears and talks about privacy with a straight face. I'm guessing Craig will be the one carrying all the burden and backlashes.

I hope the event is a live stream of Tim Cook and Oprah making a lemon chiffon pie and sharing stories over mimosas. Please! Please! Please!
Maybe September 28 or in October. I'm a potential buyer of the new iPad mini, it would be my first ever iPad after having owned iPhones since 2009.
#5. Talks to outer space.
A million years. Yah right. I am always the best of people they offered to take hyperbole like this. Extent of it would take 2 million years for me to comprehend even.
It was. It was verified. Certified good photo from iPhone 13 pro max
My guess is that there won't be price "increase," but more like no price "decrease" like usual.
I'm guessing the iPhone lineup price points will remain the same with no models being reduced in price, and the 13 lineup will simply replace the current 12 lineup. And maybe Apple will just bump up the storage across all iPhones to be 128GB base. That way people still think they get better value from last year (same price, double the base storage from 64GB).
Err, it's already been discussed ad nauseum in various threads. Apple was simply waiting for LTPO panels to be in volume (started by the Galaxy S21). Prior to that, various high refresh rate panels on Android are not variable and inefficient. Even Samsung set the S20 to 60Hz by default instead of 120Hz. The cheaper Androids are using IPS LCD high refresh rate panels, not OLED, and they are cheaper and lower quality (ghosting is the biggest problem on these Android).
