I never knew her or paid much attention except that she is a symbol of British royalty. My condolences to her family and all the people who actually got to experience her in person
Apple really lucked out with the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch announcement timing, it would have been buried under this news if it happened a day later.

Serious question but didn’t she have some sort of hand in the killing of Princess Diana?
After all, I’m seeing all these memes flooding all social media right now saying the same.
I suppose one could make the statement that she didn’t like Diana and having a hand in her death would be speculation?
Again, really am not sure. As a bumbling American I can’t say Ill
Miss her, just that it feels odd to say that there’s a King again instead of a Queen.
Second question: who becomes king or queen after this king passes? After all he’s old right?

Her oldest son Charles becomes the King.

King Charles is the successor. Charles is a jerk. But, I love the Queen.

Sounds like you follow conspiracy theorists.

It would've been buried anyway, it's a phone, there's a near identical one every year.

Hmmm thank you for replying. I really don’t know much about the monarchy.
It may sound like that but really I just read news headlines and not the articles.

Shame on apple for choosing a topless photo of her
This home page reminds me of the October 2011 day when Steve died. Sad days indeed.

Tbh, I thought that way as well up until I saw an interview with HM and Brian Williams. He definitely gets a bums rap imo

As an American, I detest the monarchy, but this was a remarkable woman. Truly.

My condolences to her family, friends, and the people of Britain mourning today

Whatever happened to the saying “if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all”?

At least she lived long enough to see an AOD iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

Sadly in this day and age respect and common courtesy have been thrown out the window by some

She's been queen longer than I've been alive. Wow... On my worst days I hope I can carry on like she did on hers.
And she saw so much change. Number one being basically the near end of the world spanning British Empire. And now it's 'God Save the King'.

I think you mean mourning no?
Moaning would definitely be an interesting hot take as well though.
This is ****ing huge! Shadowing your biggest product launch of the year within 24hr for a tribute. Mad respect!
