Apple Event Live Blog: iPhone 16, Apple Watch 10, and New AirPods!

Enough with the medical lectures...would rather listen to someone drone on about politics.

Wonder why they don’t do a live stage presentation anymore. ?

Way cheaper and easier for them to just record a video and drop it online at 10am. Also lets them do fancy VFX, effects, make last minute edits/corrections, and have full control so nobody slips up or has a gaffe or makes it awkward, which always happened when they had guest devs from other companies demo apps and games.

These presentations might as well be AI.

Really disappointed in the Apple Watch Ultra this year. They just reselling the Ultra 2 and I don't think that is getting the sleep apnea feature.

The Ultra 2 gets Sleep Apnea detection. They said that during the presentation.

I can't hear her. What did she say?

 

[indychris]

Wow! New COLORS!!!! WooHoo!

Who needs improved audio, better fit or lighter weight when you can have COLOR???

"Introducing the 2024 AirPods Max! We're MAXimizing profits by minimizing changes! When stockholders are happy, we're ALL happy!"

I joined late when at the tail end of the Apple Watch 10 part of the presentation. I am a Apple fan but this year's presentation feels like an S year for all the products honestly.

this woman has given me sleep apnea

 

[iPhoneFan5349]

Yes.

Just from a business perspective, it makes no sense for them to announce the AirPods 4 with Noise Cancellation without announcing AirPods Pro 3 along with it. Everyone is just going to buy the cheaper AirPods 4.

Yeah, seems weird they didn’t announce AirPods Pro 3. But in sure there will be differences, we will see just in a couple of minutes in the comparison chart at the Apple Store

 

[Rogifan]

AirPods Pro can become a hearing aid. Wow, that’s cool.

 

[Mooey]

lol, they made Apple Pods Pro obsolete.

 

[sjsharksfan12]

I get the health stuff is important, but it feels like this is a medical product rather than an entertainment product for listening to music or podcasts.

 

[atomwork]

it's ridicolous... they could have hired a few unboxing youtubers and have them do the videos... would have been ten times better than this...

Hey, at least the original, aka V1 with the same technology will be massive cheaper on eBay now

 

[Fred Zed]

It's French. They don't say most of their letters

Like an American saying the word “Herb”. Still makes me chuckle to this day

 

[Zest28]

So the Apple AirPods Pro 3 = Apple AirPods Pro 2 + Software update?

 

[ozapple]

To be honest - I’m really getting over the extreme focus they have on health features

 

[SweeetasCinnamon]

I just really don't care about any of the Airpod/Max updates. I can't believe they aren't doing a new iPad Mini.

 

[transmaster]

They are telling this to a low brass player in a big band sitting in front of the drummer

 

[Apleeseed84]

Dude airpod pro’s were already boom mics, i could listen to conversations from the next room

 

[macrumors3000]

Hearing aid feature for aging Gen X and millennials.

 

[svish]

Interesting health features on AirPods Pro 2

 

[applepie2100]

How soon till we get Apple Doctor

The last thing I want is Apple sticking something somewhere it shouldn't be!

 

[Ethosik]

I'm really surprised they didn't do more with the AirPods Max. Is Apple getting over extended with their inability to deliver true updates to their products? The consensus is that AirPods Max are heavy and uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time, and yet they just completely ignored that? Really?? Was interested in them fixing some of these issues with a new model and possibly buying my first pair, but not now, lol.

I literally wear my Airpods Max for roughly 8-10 hours a day. I have never found them to be even the slightest heavy and they are the most comfortable ones I have used. I believe that is generally the consensus as I have not heard complaints from everyone I have asked that use them too.

 

[ISignedUpToAskThis]

Seriously Apple...

How do their product pipeline meetings go when it comes to AirPods Max?!

It's a near four year old product.

Not even the H2 chip introduced with the AirPods Pro 2 TWO YEARS AGO!

I'm sure Marques would have easily obliged.
