Apple Event Live Blog: iPhone 14, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro, and More Expected

[Jamester23]

In Canada, the IPhone Pro Max with 1TB of storage will run you...

$2,239.00

JESUS!

JESUS!

Remember when Apple said the iPhone has more computing power than the space shuttle? Now it costs more, too! LOL.

It was a joke

Ah. I looked back on that post and it's hard to tell you're being sarcastic. Maybe an emoticon would help?

It looked legit useful to me, but Android users will probably trash it out of the usual jealousy they have while using their inferior phones.

It's basically a notification area centred around the pill. A notification area could be placed anywhere on the screen. It makes no difference where it's located other than obfuscate the intrusiveness of the pill.

I don't think I feel the need to upgrade unless they do something game changing like removing the notch/ pill entirely, or bringing back Touch ID.

I hope they will not tell that motorcycle is not supported
As someone working in Automotive around ADAS features, I am worried about false positives and distracting a driver with this case.

I am concerned about this too. I really hope that crash detection on motorcycles will work rather than depending on fall detection.

Apple’s been pretty crafty about obliterating the competition when it comes to:

• Flashlight iOS apps
• Pro-sumer digital cameras
• Wired headphones
• Portable music players
• Portable CD-ROM travel cases
• “It just works“ in the software (well, at least up until iOS7 and Yosemite that is)

So how about finally some true market-leading innovation by obliterating the need to buy 3rd party protective cases to protect your jewelry-fragile iPhone!!!

• At least a dash of drop-protection robustness such as integrated composite-material corner bumpers that are raised slightly above the planes of the front & rear camera.

Heck, even if that were offered in the line up as an “iPhone Real World Usage” model along side the “Mini” and “Pro” models, that would be a major win! Woot woot!

But then they couldn’t sell their garbage cases at an insane markup. In all these years of all these cases, iPhone and Android, the only case I ever had break on its own was the most expensive, an Apple Leather case.

After calling it “iconic” and all the marketing they’re doing about “dynamic island” I think it’s here to stay for some time.

Touch ID is not coming back to the phone. If it were they would have done it by now.

In the spirit of the completely laughably-named Gourmette Metalle watch band that Apple hawked during the QVC segment of the event, don’t you mean Apple’s Lethare Ckases?

I wonder how many people on roller coasters are going to accidentally call emergency services

Called it!

iPhone 14's new Crash Detection reportedly kicks in if you're on a roller coaster

The iPhone 14 and Apple Watch include a crash detection feature which may accidentally trigger when on a roller coaster, a report says.

I'm willing to bet Apple Watches and Phones alone are responsible for thousands of unintended 911 calls. I've myself accidentally called 911 on my watch. I hung the watch up , but 911 dispatcher called me. I had to let them know everything was fine, false alarm. That's taking resources from real emergencies.
