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

[mjschabow]

I think this really goes to show that there's really not much more you can do to make phone upgrades exciting every year. Like yeah, the new camera button is cool, and I like the color gradient feature for pictures, but not even close to enough for me to part with my 15 Pro Max.

The Watch 10 is the true upgrade this year.

Can you tell at what time the new iPhone was introduced?

 

[ShadowGuardian87]

This is iPhone 15 pro max S honestly.

 

[Johnny907]

Wait why did they stick a mic INSIDE the case? What good is it doing tucked in behind the charging coil?

 

[brofkand]

its literally the same phone just iteratively better SoC and camera

has been for years.

 

[tivoboy]

Not even done yet and I’m thinking we’re doing better off than expected or rumored… giddy up!

 

[applepie2100]

I've just noticed that Joz does prayer hands as well.

Next CEO?

 

[kupkakez]

i just want a. PINK pro max!

all I ever want 😭 the gold pro looks good so I'll likely go that way!

 

[Duncan-UK]

I look at all of this and I wonder just how much of this I will actually use.

That's why I still use an iPhone 8+ and every year I see the new iPhone event and think - nope!

What kind of cringe fest slow mo sketch was that ? Come on Apple. You even lost your sense of humour ?????

That implies they EVER had humor. You think Craig running fast or jumping down stairs is funny? He's more annoying then anything. And Tim Cook on camera is about the same as showing a corpse.

This does feel like a move to streamline / save costs this year. Reducing the material choices/sizes on the Watch, minimal changes to the iPhones (mostly software) and AirPods Max.

I didn't pay much attention to the Watch, but I actually haven't found the Watch differentiation to be confusing for the most part. Wasn't it just SE, Series (medium vs. large display), Ultra? I think there is good reason for the material differences and size differences for a Watch because those are items people wear and generally would like to have more options to choose from for those purposes. It's in the jewelry line of things.

I don't think an iPhone or AirPods are in that line, no?

Let me just update my remarks and say that people do care about how jewelry look, so the range of material, sizes, and various types of bands are a plus. It's not confusing to navigate any of that because functionally those differences mostly don't matter. They matter along the lines of aesthetics (although a small exception are the types of bands in which both aesthetics and function do count).

An iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Mac, etc. don't function that way aesthetically.

So have we reached peak cellular and phone call features? I still can't set separate ring/text tones for e-sim's.

That In frame is perfect for recording Disney rides

The dedicated camera button almost makes the upgrade worth it by itself along with the faster and more efficient cpu

Have you ever upgraded any device for a 15% speed gain before?

 

[casjohnr]

I miss the days of the interoffice envelope sitting on the table on the stage and the Macbook Air was sitting inside it.

"Have you ever wondered what is the point of this pocket on a pair of Jeans?"

 

[ryan102]

Why is he talking about that dudes Grandma's Butt-Cakes?

 

[Ghengis LeMond]

The longer they take to get to it, the higher the cost will be. Tim Apple standard infomercial script.

 

[brofkand]

there's also nothing for the crowd to get wowed about either. prior keynotes the crowd would enjoy the upgrades. now it's iOS, chips, nits, biggest, better, fastest...ect. nothing to get wowed about.

so just do a press release. granted I know nobody is forcing me to watch this horrible production.

 

[Zest28]

Yeah, my iPhone 15 Pro Max is going to be good for the upcoming 5 years. I’m not a photographer so I’m not missing out on anything new.

 

[Johnny907]

For everyday shooting from non photo experts here. Do you guys set it the highest for both photo and filming? Or do you guys bring it down to something like Video 1080p 60fps and photos 12mp?

Set to highest. I can downmix to something smaller later if I need to.

 

[Maclver]

Ok... keep your day job... singing isn't for you.

 

[california_kid]

now I can't get "no it's your grandma's bundt cake" out of head!!!!!

 

[iFunk]

Can’t wait to see how the gorgeous ladies of wrestling tie into this event🤗

GLOW - for those that didn't get this one!

 

[munpip214]

Voice Memos Update!

 

[oofio2461]

Is this a new record for the longest non wwdc event?
