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

[Azygos85]

Only way I’ll upgrade is if I get a full $1000 credit on my iPhone 14 pro max which is not on main carriers

I'm tempted to upgrade if they give me $1000 for my 14 Pro Max. If not, then I'll wait it out for next year.

With the price of everything else in this world going up crazily this past year, I was very happy to see the iPhone prices stay the same as last year, and with an improved product!

Don't want to sound very snobby - but these are casual timekillers and not games.

Games is stuff like Zelda, Last of Us, Starfield stuff. Stuff that's too intense to just play for 5 minutes while commuting.

I don't care if Apple makes more money - I don't need stuff like Candy Crush or Angry Birds....

Apple website finally updated

 

[Zest28]

Guess I'm going to save the planet for all you boys and girls, and buy the Apple Watch Ultra 2 + iPhone 15 Pro Max.

My Apple Watch Series 6 and iPhone 11 Pro Max is destroying our planet.

To those people not upgrading to these carbon neutral devices ..... HOW DARE YOU?

I figured the multi prisms that they demonstrated were the "periscope", but they didn't come out and say that.

That's what I thought too? Not sure why they held it to lower spec than other phones. There may be a genuine optical/physics reason?

Well - 3D video capture from iPhone 15 Pro Max is good.

Double Tap is really good and that was the "surprise" I guess. Pretty clever and cool feature.

If you are on a budget, you can wait - but I'll be upgrading all.

3D video — personally couldn't care less — subjective, I know.
They kinda already have that with accessibility and doesn't work well at all, perhaps it will with the most advanced AW EVER.

I'm not on a budget, but I'm also not in the habit of upgrading for the sake of upgrading. I might get the new AW Ultra, but only because I'm still using S6.

I am absolutely shocked. I was sure that with the 3nm chip, the 15 Pro would get a huge boost in battery life. It's the exact same as the 14 Pro!!! 😭

New watch bands was the highlight of this year's September Apple event for me.

I don’t even know why people bother with the upgrade programme. It’s an absolute con. Better using a 0% credit card if you can’t buy outright.

Same as getting a car on those 3 year plans where at the end you trade it in for another new car or pay a large balloon final payment and keep it. Most just get another car, so they buy a car without actually ever owning it.

$200 between storage tiers...was that always the case?

 

[bmwguy904]

$650 trade value from Apple on my 14PM… definitely not the $1000 lol

Wasnt even impressed by them.

Deciding between the 15 Pro in Blue titanium or black titanium.

This is why they should really do an event every other year. They can’t make anything exciting enough for yearly announcements. Go back to “S” series upgrades and only do events on even years.

But they did presentations for S products as well. I remember the presentation for the 6S was a big event.

 

[USAJerry]

No mention on if any of the iPhone 15s are going completely SIM Tray Free for non-US customers.

 

[Aquaporin]

But they did presentations for S products as well. I remember the presentation for the 6S was a big event.

The Early S upgrades were good too. We hit peak iPhone with the X re-design.

Why about those claims about thinner basels, smaller phone with bigger battery etc??? Periscop lens? They were quoting “well informed and respected Min Chin Kuo” and others and it was reposted hundred times. So basels are in fact not thinner?

 

[Apleeseed84]

Good news is that there will be 3rd party leather cases.

I love the leather case, especially from apple, mostly because it provides the best grip out of all the cases they provide but the woven one i have no idea what to expect.

$650 trade value from Apple on my 14PM… definitely not the $1000 lol

They specifically said the $1000 was from carriers. In fact I just looked and AT&T is offering $1000 trade in for a 14 Pro Max. My 13 Pro Max is eligible, but I’ll wait and see what they offer for the 15 Pro Max.

Deciding between the 15 Pro in Blue titanium or black titanium.

For the first time, I prefer a different color to black and it's the Blue titanium.

Cute keynote, but I think I'll hold onto my iPhone XS a little longer.

Nice keynote. Kicking my max to the curb. 5 years is the limit.

 

[fdw777]

No more MINI

 

[compwiz1202]

For action button, says default is still mute by holding. But can press to access one of the other options. So that means assuming one leaves their phone in mute 24/7, we can set press to camera and hold to bring up shortcuts (aka numerous then one click options including presumably mute? If so that's amazing.

I'd like to know if you can disable mute toggle while locked, so it can't accidentally change in your pocket

Yah - I have an Ultra - it's been good. Double bright display on Ultra 2 - I'll do that. Also will get new Pro Max. Been upgrading every year since the beginning of iPhone - no reason to stop doing that, and maybe it's enriched my life considering I do spend $1500 per year just for cell phone service.

The old joke is - I use my iPhone nearly every day!
