Apple Event Live Blog: iPhone 17, iPhone Air, New Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro 3

The cosmic orange is absolutely beautiful, but man I HATE the overall visual design language of the new pro with that glass cutout on the back.

It reminds me of my home's siding.

We re-did our home and third floor. Home has aluminum siding no longer made (very specific size/shape that hasn't been made in 20+ years). So, we had to replace a bit we cut out with vinyl siding (we are re-siding the house next year).

It looks JUST like this. It's a bit different of a yellow from the aluminum siding. When the designs for this first came out, I said to my wife that it looks like this small area on the exterior of our house. Like, uncanny. Mixing materials like that is never wise.

wait. there's no black pro? seriously?

Isn't black the most popular color for the Pro?

Forget all that is this dog and pony show doesn’t include the announcement that Google will now be taking over, it’s probably time to go! If it happens, it’ll be last thing they talk about. I noticed nothing is live in front of th so that will keep th Hecklers out of the picture. I think we’re getting some new $60 vinyl cases too stranded you know.

Congratulations, you’ve got the highest score yet!!!!?

I dont know if it's just me, but the orange is actually growing on me.

No I also think the orange looks cool.

 

[Apleeseed84]

No, black pro option? Deal breaker for me (I don’t use cases). Guess I’m going with the Air.

They did it on purpose, the shiny finish and colors I want are on the Air 🤣🤣

Ceramic Shield vs glass - interesting

 

[turbineseaplane]

Can we get an iPhone Mini PoBoy?

I just want to listen to music, snap some random pics, call and message

 

[JPack]

So Pro is now aluminium?

Ti never made sense from a weight and heat dissipation perspective.

It was the "material of month" but long term, no.

 

[antonrg]

Not Apple using a UK accent for the design clips on Air and Pro vidéos. It’s not Ive. Also, the Pro colours are hideous. It feels like all the design brains went into the Air

 

[Rogifan]

Again no battery life numbers.

 

[soapropos]

Why are they so resistant to making the Pro models in black?

 

[addamas]

Ceramic Shield which is glass vs glass, yeah…

 

[MistrSynistr]

he said the line, "best battery ever!"

 

[Zest28]

In a few years, the iPhone will be a camera with a phone if it isn’t already.

 

[tonie walker]

i want to upgrade but next year will be iFold

 

[Slash787]

Why is this Apple store empty?

 

[H. Flower]

The problem is all this performance boost doesn't matter much when your battery starts degrading in 1.5-2 years. I think consumers (at least in my circles) are more aware of this.

 

[TechRunner]

Cosmic Orange. Love it! Great color.

*mumbles* I will not upgrade I will not upgrade I will not upgrade...

 

[yngrshr]

At least it’s orange.

Dorito/Cheeto-dust orange. It's not at all bad, though.

 

[magicschoolbus]

So when do I get features on my iPhone 16 Pro?

 

[fel10]

What are the chances that the Pro Max gets a smaller Dynamic Island?

 

[applepie2100]

So the versions that still take physical sim cards have a smaller battery. That's rather poor.

 

[jz0309]

Camera - here comes the dealbreaker for me

 

[crawfish963]

Ceramic shield - iPhone is now IP6009 bullet resistance rated.

Again no battery life numbers.

"All day"

 

[nepalisherpa]

At this point, I am more excited about the release of iOS 26 than the new phones.
