Apple Event: Full Transcript of iPhone 12 and HomePod Mini Announcements

[Cosmosent]

Off the Radar of most:

1.) If a Massive Boost in Digital Zoom is announced, that very-likely implies much higher res image sensor ! ... here, probably a 48 Mpx image sensor, with 0.7um pixels, OR 1.4um with Pixel Binning.

2.) LPDDR5 in the two "Pro" models.

3.) the updated 65mm ? Telephoto Camera design in the Pro Max model (vs. 52mm in the Pro) ... here, Apple has adjusted the physical dimensions of the Telephoto design to obtain a 2.5x Zoom In factor relative to the 26mm Back Wide.

I was going to get the 12 in blue, as I didn't want to put out the extra money.

Buuuuttt, the overtime fairy called TWICE this week and brought me extra time and a half ducats. So I'll go with the Pro if the extra storage rumors are true.

 

[Hmm]

Regardless of what happens in the event today, I'd like to be the first to say that Steve would never have allowed it.

October 2020 Apple Event: Spoiler-Free Video Stream [Video Posted]

As with Apple's "Time Flies" event last month and WWDC back in June, today's media event kicking off at 10:00 am Pacific Time will be...

It's very important to me that all of you thousands of faceless strangers are up-to-date with my current phone upgrade plans.

 

[DotCom2]

Waiting for it too and hopefully Apple will give us phones with chargers: for the money that an iPhone costs it should be included...

That's how they are keeping the price down, otherwise it would be going up! Be careful of what you wish for.

I can’t find it in the ATV app on my Apple TV box...
Where should I be looking?

It should be there now. Just scroll down a little. I have it lined up on mine.

 

[DotCom2]

I just threw my iPhone X in the fireplace and am watching it burn

Good thing you put the word "iPhone" in there. I was getting a bit worried!

 

[SidricTheViking]

Can anyone explain why Apple, with a penchant for using excellent music in its promotional material, uses this annoying, hypnotic, irritating music while we wait for the event to kick off?

Having said that, I do love the equally hypnotic colour changes.......so soothing...

 

[larrylaffer]

Anyone else think this music in the stream is a little weird for an event like this?

 

[CWallace]

As usual, we know pretty much everything ahead of the actual broadcast, but I am still hoping they mention Apple Silicon Macs now that new, unknown models might have been submitted to the EEC.

I think you got phished. Try the Apple channel.

thanks. Yes. It just appeared; at T - 10 mins.

I guess that’s different to how the previous ‘Apple Events’ app used to work, with it being updated several days ahead of the event.

cheers!

I can’t be the only one that is hoping for a return to the Qualcomm modems? So sick to death of the intel modems and their crappy reception.

 

[puckhead193]

I may fall asleep from watching the circles and listening to the music... so relaxing. I guess remember the circles when the iPhone is a disappointment this year. ?

These circles will make great backgrounds

 

[Schmuron]

This is a day I've been looking forward to for two-and-a-half years...

No, actually I've been waiting seven years. Time to finally say goodbye to my beloved iPhone 5S

Why not get the iPhone SE 2020? That would be a good match for keeping a similar comfortable size and a huge specs upgrade with spending the least.

That's the #1 reason I am upgrading from the XS Max!

No need to hope - all iPhone 12 models have Qualcomm modems (as they are needed for 5G).

Driving me nuts. I have the tab muted so hopefully I do not miss start of event.

 

[hagjohn]

I'll be upgrading my X to probably a Pro or Pro max. If they come with the same camera, then a Pro. If Pro Max has a better camera setup, then I'm going for that, because yes, I'm buying for the camera and Qualcomm modem.

 

[DoubleDragon1987]

Snacks and drinks ready? This is in the middle of a workday, lmao. Saturday night, it ain't!

 

[dannyyankou]

I hear music!

 

[alexandr]

please please please exceed our expectations!

 

[Aston441]

Return of touchID I'd be stunned and probably buy. Otherwise meh.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Peaceful music.
