Not to forget the classic "STOP USING THE WIFI" moments.
But seriously, stop using my WiFi.
That's funny because the 3GS was noticeably better and less laggy than the 3G because it doubled the RAM and had a faster processor. The 3G was basically the original phone in a new case with 3G but not a lot of 3G towers.I had most models since day 1, but there were certain incremental updates that I skipped, like the 3GS
IMO the S upgrades were always the better phones.

The darker colors show fingerprints like a Midnight MacBook Air. Hopefully the white one doesn't.

A red iPhone 15 Pro would have been incredible…
Red? I think you uploaded the wrong photos. 😜

More efficient 3nm chip and components and hardware raytracing means it will run cooler.
Still using an Anker "non-mag safe" from years back and it quickly charges my 14P
So is the 3D video capture in the newest software upgrade or the dual 15P lenses?
Next year’s update should be a press release. Since they’ve stayed virtual, it makes it less exciting to watch.
Of course, there will always be some stocks that end in the green on any particular day. Look at the graphs for the Nasdaq 100 and the Nasdaq-100 tech sector for today and compare it to Apple's graph for today. You will then understand what I mean.
I remember them describing their prism for their periscope lens. Did you miss that part?
Since a lot of the rumors weren’t true, or weren’t as good as we thought, I’d say they probably stuck with 6 once again.
Can’t wait for everything to crash every time I take a picture for another year. 🙄🙄
Imagine coming in after shoveling snow for an hour, and being able to lay down on the warm floor and read the paper/iPad..80f?
Sounds like you'd thrive in Arizona
Imagine taking that warm air and circulating it through the house..
Or, turning on exhaust fans in the ceiling and pumping the warm air into river rock in an insulated space under the room.. and using it later.
Sigh.
Okay so after watching the whole event, here are my honest opinions on it…
The intro ? Too long. I’m okay with how they started off with all the people who were saved by the Apple Watch and the SOS Emergency feature, it was all very emotional and wholesome, nothing wrong with that. But then comes that very long intro of the Apple Watch Series 9, with all those animations and transitions that all made it look very unrealistic and soulless.. (which is one of the reasons I kind of miss the good old live events, especially the ones with Steve Jobs 🥲). And it was nothing more than just an incremental upgrade after all. Same thing goes to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Even the battery life has not changed on either of them.. though I do have to say, I really liked the new pink color.
And oh boy, that Mother Nature skit was sooo unnecessary IMO, it was truly a waste of time. Okay we already get it, Apple cares about the environment and wants to go all green which is all cool, but they didn’t really have to make it the whole main point of the event !!
If it was like a short 2-minute ad or something, that’d be fine. But making it the whole point of the show was just super unnecessary. We’re all watching these events mainly for the announcements of the new products. The event would’ve been soo much shorter if they had just gone straight to the point.
(Also did they literally mention that they wanna get rid of ALL the carbon in the atmosphere ?? This is actually bad for the environment lol.. carbon is literally an essential element for photosynthesis, which means there would be no plants without it..)
And the iPhones… most of it was the the same thing as the rumors, so it was all expected. The only thing that actually surprised me was the “A17 Pro” chip. Why “Pro” ? Lol. Though it got me thinking, since they’re now using last year’s chip in the non-Pro models, perhaps that means the “A17” will be for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus next year ? Guess we will have to wait to find out..
Oh and also, it was “Pro Max” and not “Ultra” .. yeah, I did expect that.
The new Periscope lens was only 5x, and not 6x as it was rumored though.. well, I guess it’s better than nothing.
And the price hike for the Pro Max model was true.. but hey, they did mention that it’ll start at 256GB storage, which is nice. They didn’t mention anything about the RAM though, so I wonder if they changed it or not…
OH and also, NOTHING AT ALL about the official release dates of the new software versions (iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, etc..) ?? I was really looking forward to that..
No new iPads either, which was highly expected.
Oh and finally, I got those screenshots from the event if anyone is interested !

They’re making all this stuff in China. If they actually gave a crap about the environment they wouldn’t be manufacturing their products in one of the largest polluters on the planet. $$$ trumps everything.
