I saw a review yesterday for a 25" (that's not a typo) tablet, so I'm thinking small is going to have a hard time making a comeback, sadly.
Got a tip for us?

I was posting on another apple chat site and majority of people were saying this was a strong showing from Apple and a worthy upgrade year. Come here to MacRumors and immediately see the same old hating and crying lol. If you have a 16 then yeah, this was probably underwhelming for you. But anyone not with last years phone should be pretty hyped with iPhone and watch upgrades.
Crazy part is most of you will be pre ordering Friday and then coming back next weekend with buyers remorse topics from folks who upgrade yearly SMH.

They did indeed drop the awe. No awe detected anywhere today.
no space black or space grey on the pro max is crazyyyy
I thought it was me. Had to lower the volume to 20% during the commercial cuts
I do like the Air. I'm not upgrading this year, but I'll be curious to see where they take that in the next couple years, if anywhere at all.
The Apple store info says it's 8x optical. What am I missing.
Edit: ok, it says optical-quality zoom.
So what's the use case to buy the Air instead of the Pro when the price difference is only $100? Just if you want a thin iPhone?
Smartphones are exempted from tariffs.
They did spend all that money on their very own private venue, so that they could have more control over the narrative... and then Covid had to come along and force everybody to rethink things, ultimately giving corporations an excuse to save money by never ever doing any product announcements in person. Because, ya know... the complete control over a pre-recorded release video is apparently worth more than all they spent on that theatre.
Credit where credit is due: at least they're not falling for the sunk cost fallacy... but it is nonetheless somewhat sad that Steve's namesake venue fell into disuse so quickly.
A lot of people like orange. I think the original orange candy colored iMac was 2nd or 3rd most popular. I still have mine!
I suspect this will go the way of the iPhone mini
If the Air didn’t use that modem, I’d go that route. Since it does, I guess I’ll stay with a Pro.
Tim: Small phones don't make me enough money
The S25 Edge already tells us the Air won't really sell.
Deleting the Plus helps Apple improve ASPs. Hardly anyone will want to pay $999 for a single rear lens. This is basically iPhone mini but in reverse.
This comment on the Verge highlights Apple’s marketing contradictions. And wouldn’t the super thin iPhone need really great thermals?
That's a possibility. They might have built it as one-half of their upcoming folding phone to see how well the "thin" setup does with cameras, battery life, heat, etc.
Has the same battery life per Apple specs on their website as iPhone 16 pro. 27 hours video playback
