Apple Event Live Blog: iPhone 15, New Apple Watch Models, and More Expected

[spook]

If iMessage was forced to be open to Android users, Apple is doomed. iMessage is the killer feature at this point.

most people use whatsapp

Still want astronomy mode.

The most boring iPhone event ever created

my wife plays kitty letter - now with 4x faster ray tracing.

LOL yea my chickens in Egg Inc will look like they are in the room with me

Craig driving onto the stage in an Apple Car and a cut to a live feed of it happening. Only way to save this event.

Doing doughnuts with smoke and burning rubber taking over the theatre.

LOL! These photos always look nice, but mine with the same camera look like garbage. I’m not much of a photographer.

 

[Aquaporin]

I have an iPhone 12 Pro and the photos still look grainy. My old 5MP point and shoot took better photos in standard use.

 

[Patchwork]

While ray tracing is fairly pointless on a mobile phone, it should mean that’s coming to the Mac in the near future which is a lot more interesting prospect

for the Pro Photographer...using an iphone

Pro photographers use whatever they can.

 

[George Dawes]

Well that’s me convinced , throwing all my d slr’s in the nearest skip

[BJMRamage]

I want to see these photos from the subjects angle...to see what lights and setup they are using

I disagree, iMessage is small potato.
But I really dislike anyone with a green bubble.

Joking of course.

I don't think there's a one more thing.

Maybe there's two more things.

 

[vegetassj4]

They fixed lens flare!

JJ Abrams will not be using the new iPhone

 

[FlightLevel310]

5x....hmmmm

 

[Aston441]

... because those tiny innovations are buried under a mountain of useless eco buzz terms? I'm a professional photographer and even I am having a hard time separating useful tech spec from garbage PR description.

I'm completely tuned out at this point.

 

[votdfak]

Say less Apple.

 

[alexandr]

Jeez, not even 6x...

 

[Pezimak]

Gaming on a phones in genearl, staring at a tiny screen...stoopid imho. But good to see the chip upgrades made.

Good games are ones like Mario Kart, it uses the screen in a good orientation and is built for a mobile screen. Shame it's stuffed full of in app purchases and Nintendo won't be brining any new content to it after next month, but that's the mobile games market.

The new Nintendo console out next year will still sell millions.

 

[MistrSynistr]

How has Apple not released a gaming counsel? Seems like a natural market given their hardware capabilities.

Instead they built a specific watch for like the 1800 hardcore scuba divers out there?

Because it would be $800+ and go the way of the 3-DO and Jaguar.

 

[sjsharksfan12]

I do feel like they spend way too much time than needed on the camera. It doesn't need to look perfect and if you are a professional photographer, wouldn't you actually need a professional camera. I doubt you are taking family Christmas photos with an Iphone.

I thought everyone just used WhatsApp 🤷‍♂️

 

[TigerNike23]

My iPhone XS Max still works fine…

Still rocking mine. I’ll look at a 14 Pro Max if I upgrade at all.

Why? Gaming on iOS is much bigger than on Mac.
