Bingo! Lame animation while you’re waiting for Siri to come back with “I can’t seem to do anything. Try again later.”
Steve would have prob canceled the rainbow glow? Maybe there will be a way to toggle it off … only on the pro model of course, maybe 🤔
 
“Glow” must refer to Siri lighting up when activated.
This was my first thought, too, although I know I am the only person who actually prefers the orb that is there now. I do understand why they had to change it though.
 
My prediction: Apple is now rebranding as an RGB gaming accessory company.

There’s literally no other explanation. Nothing else could possible make more sense than this!

Apple execs: “Alright team. It’s clear we haven’t been able to innovate anything new for the iPhone for the last 7 years. Let’s take an older model, drop in the same cpu, call it the A37XS and call it a day. Brad, we’re going to need you to mix up some lame colors that nobody wants. On 3, go team!”

This answer is correct – for the southern hemisphere… 🤔
Yes, and if I lived in the southern hemisphere, it would be ever so helpful. Siri can do certain things, but she doesn’t know when to do what in order to be helpful. For example, there’s an automatic setting that I just discovered that Siri is supposed to determine whether it’s more appropriate to voice and answer to you rather than put the text on the screen. According to Siri when my phone is in my car and I’m driving down the highway that’s the time to answer by text so I have to pick up my phone and look at it while I’m driving… I would think that if I asked Siri a question and I was looking at the phone because Face ID can tell then that would be the time to give me a text answer, but I guess Siri knows better 😂
 
What about an always-on style Apple logo that sits under the glass?" No physical apple cutout or difference in materials.
I’ll take what I can get, but I think a difference in materials would give it a better look. Also it needs to have someway to turn it off especially on the phone. No one wants a permanent lit up Apple logo in their pocket. 😂

I’d rather Apple make Siri a little bit more useful than adding visual effects to it… Most of the time I don’t even bother asking Siri. I go straight to Google.

As someone else also pointed out those are the dates for fall in the southern hemisphere. Also Siri gives the correct dates if you're not there. So you're making up ******** to spin a false narrative. Good Job.

We‘re proud to present the best most boring iPhone ever (in the background mother nature freaks out and is clapping her hands).

I remember the shows 15 years ago when the audience was thrilled and people queuing up in front of the stores - man, shut up and take my money. But all that is left is an old man entering the stage and telling the same story as last year and presenting exactly the same product as the year before. The marketing is the same, one could even reuse the pictures and decorations of last year and no one will notice ….
 
oh boy. i can’t wait to be underwhelmed. and not at all shocked at the prices going up.
…Nothing wrong with prices going up if invaluable features are shipped at scale that justifies the increased price indefinitely for most.

It’s too restrictive and arbitrary to innovation keeping prices of old based on things of old—especially to establish new baseline of experiences for a product category or service.

If you love old price points so much, old devices aren’t suddenly gonna stop working with Apple providing years of legacy support—even better they’ll be cheaper more drastically if the newer products at higher prices take off.

How am I making **** up? That’s literally a screenshot from my phone. I guess you can claim I live in the southern hemisphere, but I don’t.

For contrast, this is Google’s response to the same question. It’s actually useful.

I'm surprised no one has corrected you. That's not correct, Autumn starts on March 1 and ends on May 31st in most of the southern hemisphere.

Hrmm, looks like tandem OLED will be coming to iPhone and Watch and MBP...now, if Cupertino would only offer up Tandem OLED in iMac with a larger screen and minimum M4 Pro and/or M4 Max I might just open my wallet and retire my 27" 2019 i9/8GB Pro Vega 48/72GB/2TB! :)
