Apple Event Week: iPhone 17 Cheat Sheet

[Peepeenuts]

AWE-right, LISTEN UP YOU NON-BELIEVERS! This isn’t just some regular event. This is the most awe-mazing, awe-bsolutely awe-some awe-nouncement we’ve all been praying for. I’m literally sitting here, shaking in awe-struck awe, veins pumping nothing but r-awe awe-lixir. My lungs aren’t breathing air anymore — they’re overflowing with awe-xygen, every inhale a sacred gasp of divinity, every exhale a choir of pure AWE. You don’t understand… this is beyond excitement. This is r-AWE, unfiltered, awe-distilled essence of AWE being mainlined straight into my cerebral cortex. An awe-lanche of transcendence, an awe-bduction of my mortal limits, an awe-bliteration of every neuron that isn’t aligned to THE GREAT AWE. This isn’t just an announcement. This isn’t just news. This is the AWE-POCALYPSE. The AWE-RMAGGEDON. The AWE-SCENSION into a new epoch of human awe-volution. And if you dare to embrace it… welcome, brother… you are now awe-lmost as awe-tistic as me.

yeah, for me I'm on a 16pro so really no need to upgrade and not seeing any rumored features that excite me.

Same phone...I'm just a bit perturbed of the timing of the massive bump in the 17 Pro's battery time...why couldn't it have been last year!

The base model won’t have a 120Hz display, because otherwise there would be no reason to buy the Pro model.

Out of curiosity, what specifically are you raging at, the iPhones or general product announcements? From Apple's POV, their iPhone sales are flat year over year back to at least 2021, but they're still raking in tons of money, representing 52% of their overall revenue. I don't see overwhelming incentive for them to "STOP it" while they bide time for longer product innovation R&D. As for "iteration crap," it's a mature product line, do you have specific wishlist items for it? I know foldables are on a bunch of people's wishlist.

?? they don't have to do anything unless you're being sarcastic and totally went over my head

Wonder how much of that potential price increase is due to tariffs and if countries without those tariffs won't see the price hike.

Do a little research before you wonder about that.

Hopefully the price hike for the Pro variants are no more than $100. Will be very happy if it is only $50. Really wish the orange iPhone Pro will come true. Excited to watch the event. Was very interesting to read all the rumors about the iPhone 17 series all year long!

You mean the same Tim who has made the company into a multi billion dollar one? - sure off you pop then Tim.

Mini phones? the same ones with such small demand that they stopped making them due to poor sales? - sure lets see that happen again.

So you want Tim gone and someone else to come in and release a product thats got a proven record of not being popular enough to bother making - seems like a great way to run a business.

Not everyone wants a phone the size of an iPad mini. I think a lot of people have not upgraded their iPhone 6's and up through 13 mini because of the sizes of these newer phones. I realize some people spend most of their day holding their phones and using them for things others would use a Mac for, but there are a lot of use who want something smaller to fit in your pocket.

I dont disagree but the now proven point. at least from Apple's perspective, is that people with that need are not only in the minority but so much in the minority that its not economically viable for them to make a mini phone anymore.

Dont blame me, dont blame Apple, people vote with their wallets and obviously not enough bought them.
Apple can and will discontinue economically unviable devices and thats what happened with the mini form factor.

Only 100$ between the Air and the Pro 🤨
