Nothing beats Apples 1984 commercial.
Hmm I beg to differ that for now this one is more appropriate of Apple this year:
Nothing beats Apples 1984 commercial.
I think you need to re read what I typed. Yes I’m in agreement it’s about the technology. But the technology that’s increased cost to only show a fun silly use for it. It’s about being fun and silly other than locking for phone.
So wait, animated emojis are a stupid gimmick not worthy of a $1000 phone yet Apple artificially limited this gimmick to the $1000 phone? Pick one, can’t be both.Doh!!! Rogifan must be new, Apple did this same maneuver with Siri. Pile on the new gimmicky stuff only on the latest and greatest regardless of if it will work on the existing. Then, say it only works on the latest and greatest. I don't much care, I am not dying for animoji but it is still a $#1t move by Apple.
Nonsense. Puppet shows and circus and crude plays have existed for thousands of years. Get over yourself.
For those $12B, Apple not only created animoji. It invented customers behaving like zombies.
Yes. The technology is even if you don’t care for this implementation. Maybe people should stop being such wet blankets. Nobody is forced to use animated emoji, just like no one is forced to use stickers or Snapchat or anything else like that. If animated emoji really offend people that much those people are way to easily offended.That first ad is absolutely pathetic. Jesus Christ, is this what Apple has come to? Is that innovation? I call bulls*t. The iPhone X is the defining product of the Tim Cook era. Take that as you will.

And this is how that technology is being implemented? So you can send your friends a lip-syncing Animoji? That's what's being marketed as a "Feature". It's nonsense, I'm more disgusted then offended. This type of gimmicky marketing is an unwelcome change.
The $12B spent in 2017 is probably on stuff you haven't seen yet.For those $12B, Apple not only created animoji. It invented customers behaving like zombies.
No, I don't need to re-read what you wrote. What exactly are you expecting this technology to do? Its still in its infancy. Of course Apple is going to demo the animoji's in a way that can be silly and fun too, not every feature has to be serious or absolutely appreciated by everybody. It's just you don't agree with it. But don't be dismissive of something that clearly will be expanded upon in future of the iPhone.
...as the pipeline gets longer and longer, with Homepod taking 5 years and not getting ready for Christmas either.The $12B spent in 2017 is probably on stuff you haven't seen yet.
Everyone with an IQ > 5 seems to be falling outside that scope (your left arm seems to be resting on your capslock key...).....
Macrumors site & forum is a bubble for a hardcore 1% of 1% who are super-interested and, believe it or not, do not represent the totality of the available global market for Apple.
..... THEN IT COMPLETELY SUCKS AND APPLE ARE GOING BANKRUPT AND STEVE WOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED-OFF ON THIS EVER.
These ads honestly make me feel very sad - the banality, the triviality of the times we live in. When such expensive toys and smart people bring us... this.
Amusing ourselves to death.
Better to get it right than get it early....as the pipeline gets longer and longer, with Homepod taking 5 years and not getting ready for Christmas either.

You are spreading false information. Apple’s Animoji does utilize the TrueDepth camera system to create face maps for the best user experience and end result. They developed, tested and tuned Animojis to work with the TrueDepth system’s face map.Sure I can. I just did. I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "can't". I think you meant to say "I don't agree that you should say both". It is a gimmick. They also put it on their $1k phone. It also is artificially there. My saying that it is a gimmick has nothing to do with what Apple does or doesn't do with its features. You said you needed "proof" and then after being shown it, you tried to sidestep it. What I was talking about in this post was Apple has a history of lying about features that supposedly can only be put on their latest tech. Apple does that regularly to sell products.
Dude, I don't want it. But it DOES work without truedepth. There are plenty of people that cover up the truedepth and it works. So it isn't false at all.You are spreading false information.

That doesn’t mean Apple couldn’t create a similar feature for the iPhone 8 (or other previous models) that didn’t use the TrueDepth camera, but they haven’t done that. They may do that in the future, they may not.
Apple adds extra features (hardware and/or software) exclusively to their top of the line flagship. If people want some or all of those features—if it’s worth it, to them—they’ll pay the $999. If not, they’ll buy a different phone like the 8 or 7 or even the 6+.
But you’re not entitled to features from the flagship phone just because you want to have them without paying for them. It’s really quite simple: you’re not going to get the features of the flagship phone unless you buy the flagship phone.
Apple has already responded to the shady bloggers, and many online articles have been updated accordingly.Dude, I don't want it. But it DOES work without truedepth. There are plenty of people that cover up the truedepth and it works. So it isn't false at all.

Well TECHNICALLY you need it to turn it on, but that is it. Geez, people just don't believe Apple does ANYTHING shady. They've been doing this forever people. Siri was the same thing. Worked fine on previous models, but they limited it. And for the record I don't want to make poop talk on my phone, but feel free to enjoy that for yourself.
allows Apple to give a better user experience
Samsung has done well, but mostly in chips and oled screen production. Their phones are profitable, but the company’s profitability is driven by their manufacturing.
No one knows if Apple has reached its peak, you very much included. Based on their numbers, you’re entirely wrong. Your feelings don’t matter. Did you study their Q4 report? Objectively, it was outstanding. Growth across the business in all categories and all parts of the world. These numbers had no iPhone X and only 2 weeks of iPhone 8 and Watch 3.
You talk so confidently about what Samsung may or may not release. You have no idea what Apple might develop. Apple spent $11.5B in R&D in 2017. Rumors point to autonomous cars and AR glasses among other things like Micro LED panels. Jury is out on foldable phones, lol. We will see how it’s executed. Samsung doesn’t always execute well. Apple almost always does. Apple even got Samsung to produce a screen for them that is better than the screens Samsung outs on its own phones.
