I thought that the separate name was a little strange too. I thought at first it meant there wasn't feedback, but then they showed it did...

There must be something different enough between them that they see them possibly being used differently in the future that they wanted it to be distinct.

Or maybe they'll be changing the name on the Watch too?

This event is nothing short of disappointing.

An overpriced iPad Pro, that has an overpriced $99 pen and keyboard (forgot how much it is) at an additional cost running a mobile OS.

A new color for the ugly iPhone (even though I own a 6 plus, I do agree that they're hideous looking phones). No change to those ugly caulk lines, and a pink color. Whoopty-do. A new processor, like always, and force touch, which is a gimmicky feature like the s-pen is on the Samsung devices. Oh, and the best part about the new iPhones? 16 GB base storage even though they've beefed up the camera, will be adding more complex games, and added those motion picture things.

Oh and do you know what's even more stupid than the 16 GB announcement? What about Apple Pay? No mention of how to use the rewards cards and card at the same time, nor is there any mention of new merchants or countries added to the list.


I love Apple but I've never thought I'd say this before... I think Tim Cook needs to go.

So are there any improvements to slow-mo recording? If not speed improvements, I hope they've at least increased the 120fps mode to be 1080p. Does anyone know the frame rate of the 4K recording? 60fps would be pretty crazy and unlikely, but it's also kinda weird that they offered 60fps before in 1080p and wouldn't now.
 
I was told that Apple doesn't tend to show RAM amounts on their live notes. However, I think I remember the iPad live event last year showing 2gb on the Air 2, during the keynote event?

Could be wrong, though. Can anyone confirm if the 6s/6s+ gets 1 or 2 gb of ram?

IFixit will reveal for us

I like the Retina Flash Feature and 1080p at 120fps woooo
 
I didn't get to see the broadcast, but it seems the cameras on both models are equal?
Is that true? Does this mean I don't have to buy an obnoxious-sized phone for the better camera?!
Fingers crossed that this is true.

They also didn't mention OIS. Curious whether this has now been deployed to both iPhones.
 
Usually like the S iterations more, but it looks like I'm keeping the 6.

I'm not sure what I expected. I like my iPhone 6 Plus. I'm not sure the S is enticing enough. Not that I'm complaining. For 5S owners this looks like a good step up.

Oh, and that still picture thingie that makes the picture move...well on people that just looked creepy. Sort of Hogwarts oil paintings.
 
Alright folks, battery life time.

TLDR: it's the same.
 
Seeing as i broke my iPhone 6 a few days ago and have been using a 8gb 5c (really shouldn't be complaining this is such a first world problem) I will be preordering on the 12th at midnight. Luckily I have an upgrade on my account as I paid off my phone on the Next program. Apples new program of being able to upgrade every year does sound interning. I might just have to look into that.

yeah i'm very interested in knowing if this program would affect my unlimited data plan on verizon at all...if not, it's a no brainer for me to go through Apple for this.
 
Three sizes of iPads…now we need three sizes of iPhones. Here's hoping for a 4", 5" and 6" iPhone lineup for the iPhone 7. Simple dimensions with reduced bezels that actually make them smaller than the current models. 3D TouchID. Boom!
 
I wonder when / if the handset upgrade plan comes to uk? Would be nice to know before pre order.
 
Apple never mentions RAM or clock speed or core count. It's the things reviewers and benchmarks will tell us.
So what's your gut feeling? My thought is that if Apple really did add 2GB of RAM, they would've announced it as an improvement. So, I hate to say, but I have a feeling it wasn't changed. :( Again, I could be wrong here.
