Embarrassment for whom? Apple? No. Those rumors were made up crap. People need to stop trusting rumors as fact. Despite what you've heard in the past being factual the only real facts are when the product is announced by Apple.

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

Yep I have to agree. I have both a Sony mirrorless A6300 and a Nikon D810. Of course the Nikon is full frame but it delivers better colors hands down over the Sony.
I see the frivolous complaining about the Series 3 still remaining. The fact that Apple is still allowing updates actually shows the longevity of their product, and I’d wager most consumers just don’t have that kind of money to upgrade to the latest Apple Watch, and/or they don’t see the value in the latest models.
Both the rumor mongers and Apple should be embarrassed after the event today.
I don't think Apple will be the one embarrassed when the sales go through the roof, especially on pre-order day. 😂
Your earlier post mentioned lightning to move files for use in FCPX, which implied an Apple to Apple pipeline, hence my thoughts on airdrop.
lol @ no release date for Series 7 and offering Series 6 for same price today
Clown circus
Clown circus
or they just have an over supply of old stuff they’re willing to sell to suckers for too much money - either or
This is a great post, because you just proved exactly what I was saying. The Series 3 is still offered for those who either can’t afford or are not interested in the latest models, so it still contributes to sales. I mean, Apple wins either way, and so does the consumer not having to purchase the latest Apple Watch model for those who want one.

I was thinking of
best 007 villain ever!
the movies almost re-incarnated this character with Spectre (cyanide survivor villain).
- getting braces in Gr5 when this debut, my knickname was Jaws lol.
Odd-Job comes a close 2nd, but my personal favourite is TicTac from original Fantasy Island show.
get an SE on sale at least. Series 3 isnt worth the asking price even for Normies and grandpas
Strange. I don’t see any elderly/“grandpa’s” wearing an Apple Watch. I do however, see plenty of consumers in their 20s/30s/40s wearing an S3. I assume you must be in your 60s or 70s, do you hang around a lot of geriatrics in retirement homes or something?
Not sure what you’re getting at but it’s a rip off the series 3. Even if you aren’t an enthusiast
for any demographic but particularly old people and normies as I said who don’t care about bleeding edge. Still a rip. Exploiting people not doing basic research
why buy a first gen design and puny screen and slow speed when you can get the se which is the 4/5 processor and design and probably less than $50 price difference on sale at a retailer?
someone at Apple either really screwed over Chaiann’s teleprompter OR she ran out of improvements to talk about the iPhone 13.
she actually mentioned camera arrangement on the 13 series like it was a feature LMAO!
actually that’s not even funny it’s sad and embarrassing!
she’s the VP of iPhone product marketing and she mentions camera arrangement as a feature?!??? 😂😠🤨😒
no excitement from her at all - even Joz, mr stoic himself had more energy than she did!! I can’t believe I saw it, sad that.
She needs to go or go back to Apple Campus training. If she cannot find 1 single decent feature beyond camera arrangement to talk about iPhone 13 series I don’t want to see her in another Apple event. It’s that sad.
Pro series FINALLY someone whom understands the importance of skin tones being properly done on iPhone - especially with someone with mixed background who would understand this!! Thank you! Yes this is personally affected me for years across all cameras pro or otherwise!
It would had been a day 1 purchase for me no questions asked, granted October would had been the true anniversary, low key was hoping to hear something iPod 🤣🤣
I feel that even though with iPhone and iPad, they are not that focused on music as the iPod classics were tbh
features wise I mean, everything’s preset 😭
Wait, Apple is exploiting people? That’s crazy to me, and I’ve been a stockholder/follower of theirs for the better part of 15 years and I’ve never identified them as exploiting. It’s strange, because I thought we had choices to make, and basic research would show that people probably use their Apple Watch for the most basic capabilities, and if there’s a sale price associated or discount, naturally consumers flock to the cheapest price point. Research would also show you that, most people likely can’t afford a lot of Apples prices across their product line, the Apple Watch being one of them. So regardless of the SE/S3, they are virtually identical physically and I don’t think consumers care either way.
The fact still stands, everyone has choices to make in a product line, I’m glad Apple is not forcing people to purchase their latest Apple Watch, offering them a discounted product that’s affordable. I think that’s also part of the spectrum that you’re not considering.
They aren’t virtually identical
theyre different products the s3 and se
Unless you think different design screen size and processor = virtually identical one is fleecing people for their lack of knowledge of products offered
Wait? Were you going to answer the question about ‘Apple exploiting people’? I understand, we can let that go if you want. I’ll let it slide, you just somehow must’ve accidentally skip that part based off something you said that was inherently false.
As for physicality between the SE/S3, I’ll give you that, they are different in terms of the display size, but the processor? Come on. Show me one consumer that spends any significant time understanding the S chip in the Apple Watch. Let’s not be ridiculous. But like I said, it comes down to the price point. It’s a cheaper option, we all have choices to make. How his inconveniences you, is beyond me. I don’t think consumers disagree that they should purchase what they can afford.
So about that exploiting comment above with the Apple Watch? Just genuinely curious.
Ridiculous thought it’s been that easy for 7yrs.
Craig screwed up that Bloomberg csam interview really bombed.
notice also Joni Srouji was missing as well?!
Both will be saved for M1x MBP and iMac, Mac Mini Update in 2mths with a teaser of the Apple Silicon Mac Pro! My guess is the Mac Pro will not have an M series chip … it’ll be N to the nth degree or something named different (128 cores + multiple cores in SMP layout options).
it doesn’t inconvenience me don’t take it so personal it’s criticism of a company’s offerings we will both live. I just think people are making a bad purchase going with it when you get a much better device for $50 or less when on sale
it’s bad value and already obsolete stuff
if people are aware there’s a much better device for not much more most would be remised. I suspect they don’t know and when they find out it’s too late.
they shouldn’t offer it. They’re preying on people who trust apple only offers the somewhat latest products. Especially for the price difference being small.
if you can’t afford $50 or less you probably shouldnt be getting the watch tbh
it’s a bad faith offering.
se is for budget Buyers. 3 is for suckers
its like If they offered iPhone 8 for $350 and iPhone se2 for $400 but that’s even better since it’s at least same design and screen
they’re ripping people off who don’t keep up And hawking off oversupplied parts for not much less price.

Crickets instead of justification would not indicate the behavior of sheep. Imagine joint a forum just to spew negativity on how another person chooses to spend their money. It screams of insecurity and cognitive dissonance for your own purchase
