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

128gb would have been enough for me since I used less than that since 2019 on my Android phone but considering they doubled the base resolution of the camera (if I understood that correctly), I guess I'll have to shell out 1329€ for the 256gb pro
 
I really wish Apple would allow us to disable the ambient light sensor on the watches. I truly hate that feature. If I need to charge my watch an hour sooner than normal, so be it. Sometimes the screen is so dark at night I can hardly read it. I don’t understand why they don’t give us that option.

I agree completely. But even if they do drop, they are still going to sell between 50 million and 70 million phones. That’s a lot of phones.

Oh absolutely. No doubt they'll still increase profits and earnings . Should be grateful Apples products on the whole are still solid enough to last a long time if looked after.

Agree I've peeved that they only made it 256 min for the Max. Just because I want a bigger screen doesn't mean I need more space to waste $100 on

A17 pro… The 1st taste of M3 Apple silicon has officially dropped. And every good rumour comes true, with extras thrown in. Like neural engine working with gpu to upscale and upres REAL TIME RAYTRACING FRAMES YESSSSS.


M3 is officially a banger.


Any M3 device is gonna be great for gaming. M3 Max and Ultra are finally gonna be great 3d rendering cpus.

Meh. I have played games on Mac since 05 and it’s never been able to keep up with similar spec’d windows machines. But the issue with the windows machines is you’re stuck using windows.

iOS 17 coming out on the 18th.

Honestly, what a complete snooze-fest.

We've now had the S4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 watches with the exact same design and pretty much the same features (Always-on Display being the one upgrade that possibly adds value). Apparently the Ultra is also following the same path.

When it comes to iPhone, I'm getting sick and tired of seeing Apple present the same portrait style photos every year and positioning the iPhone as a "console level gaming platform"... Give us something new. Please. How about a desktop experience or something that really takes advantage of that "desktop-level chip"?

Hate to say it, but I think Apple needs an internal shake up. Judging by the intro, I'm also guessing Apple Vision Pro has been as poorly received as rumors made it out to be.

Apple Vision goggles will need to be physically demonstrated at Apple Stores. People will be amazed I think, even though they will have no ability to buy it for the next few years. They will want it, and it will eventually show people what 3D VR can really offer.
 
After watching the event, I was leaning towards skipping the 15PM and instead upgrading my 12PM to a 14PM at hopefully a discounted price, but have noticed 14PM is not in the Apple Store anymore.

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

Yea, knowing Apple they just wanted to call it something else, but where are the night mode improvements? Astro mode? Not everybody spends all day shooting models in a studio!

I think I’ll get a Pixel 8 pro just for the Astro mode.

Well then - yes - you are right about the published specs.

I guess a newer one will be newer. I'll be upgrading from my 14 Pro Max for sure.

but I mainly want to start capturing 3D video and I always enjoy new. Waste of money? Oh well - life can be too short, so I upgrade every single time.

I'm just personally annoyed because this was by far the main thing I was looking forward to this year. I have always gotten the max size phone mainly bc of battery life, but have disliked the size of it in my hand. I was hoping I could finally get a smaller device this year that would finally be on par with the larger models in terms of battery life.

Pretty disappointed but I guess I've learned my lesson on how to deal with all the rumors -- ignore them.

Very often first gen isn’t really useful like the neural engine in A11. So better wait for M4.
