Why do you need someone to answer you that? It’s an option for buyers. Either you want it or not.
I think a lot of us Americans cringe as well.
I love it. “There are over 2 billion Apple power adapters on the planet already...”
And presumably those are all compatible with the USB-C cable included with the new phones, right? 🤦♂️
It's still a lightning cable. The speeds are the same whether I'm using a USB-A lighting cable or USB-C lightning cable on my XS. Maybe the 12 will be different, but I doubt it.
The camera matters. The processor that means it’s IOS upgradable for 4 years or more matters, at least some. I doubt that I will buy one but I don’t see anything wrong with it either. Part of the problem may bbe that they have to get government approvals from around the world so people have figured out where to look to find out what is going to be released. It isn’t a big surprise anymore.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you and wonder if this spells disaster for Apple in the long-term. Companies will catch up, and when they do, Apple needs to innovate before they do.
I use a Anker USB C to lightening cable on my Mini. Transfer speeds are quick.
Not all stores use contactless payments. Also what about things like a drivers license or gym membership card?
Disappointed that only the Pro Max gets advanced camera features.
I read it as “We’re excited to sell 2 billion new power adapters to our existing customers.“
It’s not too late to add “Pacific Blue” to that list and increase your hit rate to 20%...
The prices are better than I expected. It will come down to the Pro or Pro Max for me, depending on which fits better in my pocket. I can definitely use the telephoto and improved low-light and image stabilization. Dolby video sounds great for pros, but it seems like overkill for taking videos of your granddaughter. 😀
120Hz, touch id, usb-c to start it off...
I noticed that too! It wouldn’t surprise me if Apple has in-house crew of multiple professionals ranging from actors/directors/voice-coaches etc to streamline this picture perfect presentation. Personally I don’t mind. It is what I love about Apple. What I don’t like though is the brainwashing-oneliners they use, like: “By far the fastest camera in the industry” “industry leading technology” etc. I’m a pretty down-to-earth person but after seeing this event I want a fricking iPhone 12 Pro LOL!
Both are pros. The iPhone 12 pro max is able to get a bigger lens because of the extra size. It is what it is and they can come out and name it whatever they want. Go to the store and let them explain it to you or look online. Then make hour own decision on what you need. They are not going to make what you want no matter how much you want it.
Nothin significant, skippable updates. True breakthrough will come up at least when the notch gone.
iPhone 10X. I've been making photos with iPhones since 2012. And exclusively for the last five years.
I want to go to Verizon from ATT but Verizon told me all their plans only portray 720p. Att unlimited plan has it higher.
