Seems hard to justify upgrading every year now unless something truly stands out as a huge benefit for the individual buyer.
Got a tip for us?

And...by extension, this means that the iUP seems unnecessary...and a waste of $$
Hope you have as good a luck as we’ve had with ours (2 of them). We love ours. My husband went from a mini to the 12.9 and I just wanted the stupid pencil and this was the first pencil enabled device they put out. Love my almost 4 year old pencil, too.
Sorry, but I don't think that's what "bilateral" means. Words mean things.
Perhaps you meant bidirectional?

I tried making a dark version but it was proving too tedious to apply a dark backgroundYes, I did mean “black” background, haha...sorry about that.
Also, if you do make another wallpaper with the words “Innovation Only” and with the black background, can you make the resolution for an iPhone XS as well, please?
Thank you very much!
Well, I should say it was tedious to apply the dark background and not have it look god awful haha. There's too many different colors and they're all on a wide spectrum, so Photoshop was getting confused easily with what to leave alone and what to make dark.
I would love to have one as well for myself, but it's just not worth the time I'd have to put in when it's just going to be worthless and forgotten about after a week from now haha. Like I said it can totally be done, but only by perfecting every pixel and I just don't have the time for that :/
Making a version for your XS without "By" however, was an easy fix and I've attached it
Enjoy!

Thank you very much for trying to make a dark background version. I obviously do not expect you to spend all your extra time trying to get it perfect, however, I do once again thank you for trying and for the "Innovation Only" version you made.
Have a great one!
Julia Roberts should tell Tim Apple - "don't use big words you don't understand from Erin Brockovich" Innovation haha....

Apple released an anti version of the event poster. Those are very clearly Siri waveforms.
https://twitter.com/apple/status/1169072488933773313?s=21
I’ve been anticipating a dedicated Siri coprocessor that can be work locally for offline processing. This is necessary for AirPods and Apple Watch which are frequently offline. AirPods can’t even process “hey Siri, lower the volume” or “Hey Siri, slay ___(song)___” if you’re in a subway or otherwise out of cellular reach. A Siri coprocessor would fix that. Common requests can be cached locally, more complex data fetching requests would require an internet connection.
Apple’s reveal pattern has been to announce their new operating systems at WWDC but leave a major feature to be announced at the hardware event. I believe we’ll see new iPhones and an Apple Watch with Siri coprocessors and accompanying features.

Sure thing, friend!Thank you very much for trying to make a dark background version. I obviously do not expect you to spend all your extra time trying to get it perfect, however, I do once again thank you for trying and for the "Innovation Only" version you made.

Thread to long to read through, probably has been said but the “Innovation Logo” for the event is very organic/biological looking, if trying to read into its meaning I would guess a biomedical theme to the innovation.
I agree with you completely, especially after this mornings news about how Apple wants Siri to be able to have a back-and-forth conversations about your health. I also anticipate a Siri-Coprocessor, though I am not sure we will see it in this years iPhones.
I would say the 2020 iPhones.

HA! Seriously though, if you're someone who gets an invite this year and something is underwhelming, don't clap! Your silence will speak volumes.

Think you might be right w/ the health comment. This is what you get when you "like" the event post on Twitter, automated response from @Apple Twitter account changing the apple logo to a heart logo in same colors.
We, as in the iPhone community. But to respond anyway, you can't honestly feel your 2005 Nokia apps (whatever they were) were even remotely comparable to the apps of 2008 and beyond.
I've read about what's to be expected from this event - and I really don't think any of:
- an apple tv service
- sherlocked tile hardware
- a third camera on a phone
- new materials for apple watch
- pencil enabled phones
... are very innovative. I don't want Apple using this event to try to hammer the idea that these are innovative, or that Apple's implementation is "amazing".
Here's what would be innovative (IMO):
- better than OLED screens on phones and ipads
- better than bezel-less-ness of a Dell XPS on laptop screens
- competitively priced laptops with working keyboards
- better specced laptops than Intel "Project Athena" provides
- arm based macs that aren't locked down
Apple's gone and gotten my expectations up by highlighting the word 'innovation'. My fear is, they're now going to let me down even harder.

Imo, what you listed are improvements, not innovations. To me an example of innovation is Face ID that works in any orientation or angle. But I’ve always said innovation is a personal moving definition.
