Am I the only one struggling to stay awake during this presentation? Outside of the device numbers, it could have been copy-and-pasted from previous presentations. How can they casually mention that AirPods Max is updated, but not say what those updates are? USB-C? New chips? They could save us all a lot of time by just showing brief photos of the new products with a caption that says "thinner and faster".
 
Big Apple fanboy here, was looking forward to the AirPods Max 2 but... seriously, Apple? This is one of the biggest F... you from them ever. Not changing anything except the port and new colours for the same price? People should boycott this product 100%. I know it will never happen but that would teach them a lesson
They should have dropped the price to $499.

Or included the H2 and kept the price.

That said, the inflation-adjusted price of APM from their debut in December 2020 to today is $630.

So Apple has ~reduced the price by keeping it the same. Something to keep in mind as other pricing is announced.
 
The same reason why so many people bought Beats headphones in the early days... not for the sound quality but as an accessory to their outfit.
I have tried most alternatives to Airpods Max. The material for the ear cushions on the Airpods are better than every other product I have tried. I gave up trying alternatives so there might be something out there. But the ones I have tried were all the real/fake leather and I just can't wear those for an extended period of time.

Sure, I could hack something together, but I regularly swap my ear cushions out. I have about 4 sets of cushions I swap between since I wear headphones for such an extended period of time.
 
I’ll be honest, I’m genuinely bored with these updates, and I’m an Apple addict.
I keep saying they should go back to “S” phone releases. Releasing bigger updates every 2 years would get people excited again. Phones have become commoditized and there’s very little that companies can really add from year to year to make them exciting again.

That's why it's easier to catch the summaries after the presentation from other websites.
 
Did…did Apple just become “not cool”? Everyone working there seems lame based on this event, and the updates are mediocre at best.

I was planning on buying some updated products but now I’m not sure if I’ll even upgrade my 12 Pro Max. Hopefully the 16 Pro brings something interesting besides AI.

I’d rather watch the presentations than the mandatory customer testimonials that used to drag for 10 minutes including the demos of people playing their new games
 
Does anyone else dislike the Acton Button's position? I'm always hitting the wrong damn button when trying to change volume quickly

Where is this place located, right near the water? Is that one of Apple's campuses?
Not sure which place you are referring to, but the lady talking about the new iPhone glass was at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I think it was the De Young museum. All of the outdoor shots except I think Tim's and the Dr are in San Francisco.
