Apple Event Sept 2021: iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, and More Announced

[mannyvel]

A little disappointed the new Mini is still 256GB max.

There's a 512gb option, $999. But for the iPad mini, yeah.

 

[Harlowgold1]

This was going to be the year that I upgraded from my XS Max...NOT!

Did they mention iOS 15 release date?

September 20th. I missed it, but supposedly they announced it when talking about iPad OS.
It's also on their iOS 15 page: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15/

 

[IKnowTheWoz]

Still on the phone. 🤪

Yeah, finally! 😆

 

[Peperino]

Most pathetic upgrade EVER!!

 

[creediddy]

The only thing I got out of a "Pro" phone was a small camera upgrade and variable ProMotion refresh rate. Come on Apple! These aren't pro phones! Cinmeatic Mode is available on the 13, so why do the Pro phones considered to still be called "Pro"?

Makes no sense! Place the M1 chip in the Pro phones and allow it to work with Apple Pencil. At least the iPad Mini was more exciting than the new iPhones. Even Apple Watch was a tad bit boring as well.

This event was about screen real estate selling! LOL!

 

[Vratikranka]

They literally used older features on each one of their summary slide! That's how lame these updates were *smh*

 

[Rafterman]

Nice! I'm still going very strong with a Sony A7iii and a few nice lenses.
But I get it though, 'The best camera is the camera you have on you.' but if you're serious about doing photograpy or video, you'l have so much more fun with a real camera than one attached to a phone.

btw, Slinky strings ftw ^^

Better manual controls on phone cameras would help.

My suggestion is to buy your Apple stuff soon, Cost is living is going up, people have spent their stimulus money. Things are getting harder to obtain so the price is driving up on technology. Taxes are defiantly going up, which will slow the economy even more. People are buying homes at outlandish prices thinking they are going to make a ton of money. Welcome the the great recession part 2 the sequel.

I hate that my excitement flame is gone for keynotes. I forgot the keynote was even happening and wasn't mentioned at work or in my social circle until I remembered to to check MR just now.

I miss the mystery behind it all but now I either own it already or the new tech isn't groundbreaking to peak my interest.

 

[anshuvorty]

My wife was listening in the background, and even she LOL'd at "The most Pro iPhone EVER!"

Goes well with "Courage..."

 

[creediddy]

Based on this keynote Tim Cook could have sold these features. Why did it take 25 different Apple members to sell 4 products? These product do exactly what they did 2-3 years ago. There is no advancement in technology.

 

[Arran]

I'll need to buy a new fridge if I want excitement this fall.

 

[johnnylarue]

My reply was in regards to this statement "This presentation sucks and the market agrees."

Isn’t it the same every year? Price rises in anticipation, drops on reveal day, and then eventually shoots up again once these hot cakes start flying off the shelves?

 

[Apleeseed84]

I would had bought the series 7 if it was how the rumors were hyping it up to be, no AirPods as of yet, my kids need the new iPad mini 6.
Call me old but I was just stupidly hoping for some kind of 20th anniversary iPod Classic News.

 

[gorkt]

Finally, a real iPad mini re-design! That was an instant buy. The bigger screen on the watch is kinda cool, but not super exciting. The iphone was incredibly lackluster although the pro-motion will be sweet.

 

[SRLMJ23]

Soooo, the iPhone 12 Pro

LIDAR anywhere?

It is still there, though they mentioned nothing new for it!

 

[fakestrawberryflavor]

Where are my AirPods?

 

[Enygmatic]

it appears so, with the exception of battery life. which makes me super happy, i'm tired of them pushing the max on those of us who don't want it.

They only did it with the 12 Pro, though, right?

 

[performa_6400]

Nope, as reported yesterday or so, separate Mac event, later in the fall. Most the time macs are in a separate event to the iPhones.

Oh ok, I thought it just slipped their minds 😜

 

[Enygmatic]

Did I miss any mention on the iOS/iPadOS 15 release?

 

[alexandr]

They only did it with the 12 Pro, though, right?

well, both are an improvement over the last phones, but where the pro is an hour(or an hour and a half), the pro is, i believe 2.5 hours more than last year.

 

[jaycemain]

underwhelming is an understatement for that event.

 

[creediddy]

Did I miss any mention on the iOS/iPadOS 15 release?

No it was the WWDC keynote. They wanted to sell hardware with this keynote.

 

[daveydog1971]

i don’t think i have ever been less excited about upgrading.
