Tim: "Put your hands together. Let's all pray this model sells in a pandemic."

It will be another record breaking quarter!

I am glad they don't still do those 10-minute concerts at the end of these. I wouldn't mind if they added a blooper reel though 🤣

 

[victorm1]

Just me or is this the least exciting iPhone launch ever? Absolutely no improvements that matter to anyone and a clear targeting to the lower-end market.

It's a wonderful time to have an 11 Pro.

Give me USB C, 120hz & Touch ID next year and I might bite.

 

[Jimmy James]

I can’t believe Apple didn’t support the live stream on 6s and referred me to another browser. Experience was flawless.

You still can't preorder the Air. Maybe it'll be Friday as well.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Airtags are the new air power.

Apple VaporTags

What a letdown. Only company in the world that can get away with it... and they know it. That's why it's so unimpresive.

Three of these monthly mini-shows. Perhaps if they had done a single one combining everything, it would have been slightly exciting

 

[waquzy]

Easily the best Apple Event since the introduction of the iPhone X

When can we buy the iPad Air?!

Just checked apple.com - still no date 😭

 

[rgbrock1]

Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Is it over yet?

 

[delta0]

The store is open again on my iPad at least a but not only my iPhone. It is not letting me add the phone to the bag. Not sure what is going on.

edit. I see it released on 16th

 

[Aston441]

darn it my APPL holdings just crashed, knew i should have sold this morning 😂

So instead of making a case with a card holder built in they make a magnetic leather card holder which you attach to a case for $59.

I am excited for that MagSafe dual charger LOL...less wires/chargers to bring when traveling. Wonder if the MagSafe will still work on iPhone 11 etc

Tim Cook spent most of that with his hands clasped together. Is he now a Buddhist or something?

He's praying that enough people were still awake at the end of that presentation to actually want to buy something!

Certainly matters to me. Buying a Pro Max. I suspect many millions of others will be doing the same.

WiFi. They are mentioning how companies are using 5G for local internal transfers (historically WiFi) as a reason to get it.

Not companies where I work. And it isn’t going to happen in my lifetime where I live. My current speeds bounce between 1G and 3G with brief flirtations with 4. My phone works at home because Verizon allows calls to go over WiFi, otherwise a cell phone wouldn’t work most of the time.

Look on the bright side, it makes some of their Apple TV+ content seem entertaining in comparison!

 

[Rogifan]

What a letdown. Only company in the world that can get away with it... and they know it. That's why it's so unimpresive.

What exactly did you expect? Every new phone on the market theses days is basically just add 5G and improve the cameras.

 

[I7guy]

It will be another record breaking quarter!

Right? The end of October?

 

[pratikindia]

Boring event. The presentation is no better than Samsung‘s. There is no charm/magic as in the past.

 

[boast]

darn it my APPL holdings just crashed, knew i should have sold this morning 😂

ouch. i wonder if i should buy

I'm a little confused, didn't we add Apple Pay so we can do away with wallets? And you remove the charger but then conveniently add MagSafe as....another charging option that we have to buy accessories for to use? 2020 is a really weird year.

You do know that not all places accept Apple Pay. Apple can’t magically make H‑E‑B or Walmart accept Apple Pay. That’s why they have that. Geez.
