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

So it's not a periscope lens at all? It's just 5X with no ability to zoom in or out?

That makes me a bit less interested in it, especially if it costs a lot more.

I hope those stools aren’t what they make their Apple employees sit on for 8 hours a day. I smell lawsuits.

So before the pandemic sent everyone home, there was a lot of internal grumbling about how uncomfortable the fancy and expensive "collaborative" work spaces in the new UFO building were. Chairs were trash to sit on for long periods and the tables were at an uncomfortable height for most users.
Apple either doesn't care about such things or just wanted their people to stand as much as possible.

256GB Base storage? Yay or nay

I say yay with a $100 increase.

 

[MathersMahmood]

I really don’t think this needed to be a mad only feature. Camera isn’t that big.

 

[compwiz1202]

What’s the point in better graphics when now the phone over heats in seconds and dims the display

This is exactly what I think when they mention more nits. It's just going too throttle in 0.0000000000001s in the sun anyhow

“And finally, One more thing!”

goes on for another 45 minutes about their net-neutral plan.

 

[DDustiNN]

i'd hope Apple would turn down the over sharpening filters.

This ruins more of my pictures than anything.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

The cameras got a huge upgrade on the Pro line up.

"Look how fantastic our pictures, featuring professional photographers, models, lighting, and make-up, are!"

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

If it was, the new Flip would be very tempting based on these updates today. I hate Google but eh…this is so lackluster.

 

[Asiatic Black Hebrew]

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.

The thing is, people think owning an iPhone Pro automatically makes them a photographer.

 

[Motawa]

Happily keeping my 14 pro max lol

 

[_Spinn_]

So no periscope lens

 

[Shanghaichica]

Not my social circles. I have 4 active group chats on iMessage and 0 on WhatsApp. The only people messaging me on WhatsApp are Android users.

My kids school groups use WhatsApp.

 

[Aquaporin]

I will use any messaging platform. I'd go back to AIM if it was still around. But everyone I care about is on iMessage.

 

[salz4life]

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

I doubt it would be under $1000.

 

[xgman]

I'm guessing at least 80% of the whiners here, including myself, will order something regardless.

 

[Slash787]

Wow very nice carbon neutral cameras

 

[jz0309]

5x periscope… 120mm equivalent
7 lenses, so not full optical zoom

 

[DeepIn2U]

Here we come !!!!

I’d rather Apple bring slightly thinner bezels, Thunderbolt 4 USB-C with full data throughput for exporting ProRes & ProRAW

Killer feature would be for FCP to be able to edit ON device storage or import and export to iPhone Pro & ultra series along with carrying for photo editing softwares preferences for camera to the iPhone !!

It’ll be like having your pro SLR cameras best settings that are exported and edited into the editing software preset on the iPhone. All of your choice! Change in device at will and creativity of the content capture would explode

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Reveal the price Jawssssssssssss!

 

[PhillyGuy72]

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

It's not a bad choice perhaps, just the battery in those 14s are simply awful.

 

[fwmireault]

Incredible they have the audacity to talk about the benefits of USB-C like they didn't strongly oppose this transition

 

[contacos]

Think Ill have to seriously look into Samsung Galaxy for photo purposes in the future while using my iPhone 12 PM for my Apple eco needs

 

[Slash787]

I'm guessing at least 80% of the whiners here, including myself, will order something regardless.

I am not ordering anything.
