Probably just a "glow up" or minor upgrade

You can buy a glowing Apple logo and stick it to your iPhone or Mac.

I can’t imagine something stuck to the lid would look good 😂

It’s glow time could mean the iPhone 16 Pro Max user‘s happiness will glow.

I haven’t used Siri in at least a decade, since it couldn’t even figure out how to pause and resume a podcast. No Siri I don’t need google to tell me the definition of a podcast.

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!

Open your wallet? More like trade your firstborn son. I think a lot of people would want something like that right up till they saw the price

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 😂

Exactly this! My Android-toting wife always gets a laugh when I ask Siri something in the car. One time I asked who the Speaker of the House was, and got the reply that we don't have any Homekit speakers in the house. Last time, I asked Siri when the next full moon was, and instead of just telling me, Siri said since I was driving, she couldn't present the information. USELESS. I actually think Siri has gotten worse and is de-generating over time!

It won’t be glowing Apple logos on product. It’s the new Ai logo. To replace the Siri one. Or be used alongside it when active.

I really hope with AI Apple makes serious improvements to Siri. Whatever software they’re using now just isn’t working. I love iPhone with how secure and reliable it is but “it just works” isn’t going to do the job if the competition significantly outpaces it. That’s not happening now because even though Google assistant is miles ahead of Siri the rest of the OS isn’t. That can change though.

All the olds don’t know the slang “glow up”.

I was hoping the iPhone 16 Pro Max would at least sport an M1 cpu instead of the A-Whatever architecture.

Being the September event, this one will likely be about the iPhones and Watches. Apple will most likely have another event in October or November about the Macs and iPads.

Glow.... tell me they are not going to light up the apple on the back.

That would be one good thing in an otherwise not so hot year. 😄

…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.

There’s a lot of supposing going on here. And thinking like a consumer. Incremental changes from the 12 onward don’t support a price increase. But shareholder value does incentivize Apple to increase prices despite meaningful features. Their market cap pretty much nullifies your second point entirely.

That all they’ve got at this point unless some drastic re-org takes place. Or maybe it’s a “glow up” for an as yet untreated demographic that’s willing to buy older phones, so Apple will sell older models longer. That’s more in line with their market segmentation strategy these days.

Glow.... tell me they are not going to light up the apple on the back.

Hmmm... an iMac M4 or Mac mini M4 with "immersive" lighting? 🤣

When has Apple Event (not counting WWDC) been on Monday?
