I couldn't finish watching that ad. It was so dumb, so Pepsi MAX in your face 90s amateur crap.

And good grief, full of dad-jokes.
 
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.

Wait... wait... I know... your dark view on the world.... you're describing.... wait, I can get it.... oh yah... the "jet black" iPhone 7! It's black to the core.

I guess these releases were good, if you care about the ... sissy ... I'm mean 'Apple' ... watch, or an iphone that doesn't have an embarrassingly low base storage.

This is what I was waiting for.... they double the base storage and the complaints still come. #entitlement
 
The first half of the presentation was rather boring to me with the exception of the Mario announcement which I welcomed. Wasn't and still am not all that interested in the Apple Watch either. Mostly it's a aesthetics design and price issue that keeps me back from it. The last half with the iPhone was much better, though I am stumped as to why the jet black iPhone is being sold with limited storage capacity options compared to the rest of the line.

Entitlement? When Apple is charging the premium prices they are for their phones and being skimpy with storage (which is now dirt cheap) that is entitlement: Apple thinking their entitled to screw over their customers.

And it's people with no critical filter (looking at you, kid) who defend them anyway - that's what keeps making them feel entitled.

I enjoyed the keynote a lot and they added what I wanted to the phone. It had its fair share of surprises and even if the rumor mill does mention it and gets it right I still don't count it valid until it is confirmed. The moment in which the confirm it is as exciting as if it were a surprise (which it rarely is cause even without rumors it is pretty easy to guess what they will add). I have used my Note 7 for pictures a lot more than my 6S Plus but those does are gone...it lasted so little. Oh and Best Buy hurry and get my Replacement unit :) ty.

Innovation; repeat after me, innovation, yay. Better camera, check. Water resistant, check. Errm, struggling to think of anything else. Now, what do we call improving something? Oh yes, an incremental improvement. Hang on, a better camera and water resistance... yes, that's it, it's incremental improvements.

Innovations are new features such as the original iPhone which changed the world. Or the fingerprint home button.

Wireless headphones with 5 hour battery isn't innovation. Having said that the solid headphones are so uncomfortable the 5 hours is about all one could take.

So I've several pairs of quality headphones that are now obsolete. Every pair of these work with just about any device one imagines. Every pair are high quality and give great sound. Oh dear, get with it granddad.

Oh well, just have to wait until next year for the next "innovation". Hopefully a folding screen so it can fit in a pocket.

A big bucket of Meh.
