Apple Watch 1 with no GPS, only 500nits brightness and was essentially off 90% of the time got less than 24 hours on a battery charge.

With Apple Watch 2 getting GPS and increasing brightness capability to 1000nit, and only a very minor battery bump, what will the battery life be? 10 to 12 hours?

Really good point. I love my iWatch battery life. I get sometimes as many as 4 days out of it.

12 hours? No bueno.

Pretty good Advert

Now, the jet black is gross (too shiny) but the regular black is nice

REAR PROTRUDING CAMERA IS STILL UGLY. DISAPPOINTMENT TO SEE THIS

Hoping this brings the iPhone SE price down

Apple has official jumped the shark. First off, its always been stupid to have a music act at the end of product announcements. They've been terrible and detract from the product (only exception would be announcement of Apple Music). This time took the cake though as we were introduced to Lady Gag-Ga and Cousin It's love child. Really Apple? That's what you want attached to your brand?

Underwhelming product updates, no macbook pro update, and an idiot wearing a giant bow in their head.
Is that you in your avatar?

You're clearly ignorant. Sia has been in the music business for ages now, she's only recently become mainstream. They are going to announce the same amount of things REGARDLESS of any music act. It's not as if someone performing stops them from creating more products.

Sia is an amazing talent, both at writing songs and vocally, and has been met with great success and acclaim, so yes, it's great if they can get talent like that by their side! Proof:


What an insanely stupid comment, seriously.

WTH? no Macbook, pro, mini, apple tv, imac, mac pro upgrades?????? they are delaying it too much
 
God, how many times the word "Tim" is repeated in that Don't blink video. What a tasteless narcissism... and for what? Basically an improved iPhone in a 3 years old design. Yeah we are so proud of ourselves.

Even dual camera software isn't ready in time "coming later this year", but Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim drops the mic.

Facepalm. Next time he should sing himself in the end and Jony can dance on stage.

Who sang at the end? I missed the name and Shazam couldn't ID the songs :(
Sia, I couldn't shazam it either but the last song was some nice remix of her Chandelier.

I was happy it wasn't Taylor Swift.

Haters gonna hate. If you don't like don't buy.

That was amazingly courageous of you. The best ever. Incredible.

Anybody who knew their backside from their elbow could have told you that there weren't going to be any Mac updates in this keynote.

You're getting upset about something that was confirmed not to happen. Just wait a couple of months.

There haven't been any worthwhile Mac updates in years. What's your point?

Where can I buy this "Blink Ad"? It sounds like the biggest reveal and most exciting product of this entire event!

It's an Apple Watch, not iWatch. Sorry, had to correct you. But I agree, it's a great product and I use mine everyday.
 
All good upgrades and totally in line with what Apple have done since day one. Amazed at the negativity that Apple receives. Apple do what Apple do..They take everyday items that already exist and make them far better than anyone else has been able to do, or could even conceive of doing. They took the personal computer, the mobile phone, a portable music player, a watch, a setop tv box.. Just every day items that many other companies bring out, and turn them into objects of desire. I'm sure in the future they will do the same with a car, personal health devices, maybe cameras..whatever. If someone could name me a mobile phone on the market right now that is better performer than iPhone 7 plus..I'm all ears. It's early days, but at least as far as we know the iPhone 7 has not spontaneously combusted..so that's a one up on their nearest rival :)
