Everything Apple Announced at Today's Event in 7 Minutes

I can see in my head, the apple store at the table on release day. With a stack of plugs, headphones, and MagSafe chargers.
 
really no reason to update/upgrade at this time... while other companies got rid of their notches and have under screen fingerprint... why don't apple? cause they can still sell old stuff at premium price, and now without headphones and chargers .. for same price ... getting ripped off.

I heard there is a EU law no phone can be sold without a charger? don't know how true this is...
 
I find it kind of stupid how they make silicone cases for these colored phones and the XR still hasn't gotten any.
 
What a lame upgrade.

Basically, out of the box, you have no way to charge your phone unless you have a device with USB-C.
No earbuds
Less packaging
Same Storage capacity than a year ago. FYI SSD prices go down in price every minute.

And still, after all the savings, Apple's greed does not dare to bring down the prices...

Just a better processor and a better camera are not enough to do an upgrade.
 
Next year they will dump the cable and charge you $200 extra to have the camera turned on. Here is how the next iPhone will be delivered. Just a conveyor belt of plastic bags with iPhones in them uncharged, cause if they charged them it would hurt the environment.

I feel like you can just have 5G on a loop for 7 minutes and that would suffice. The only thing that looked rather interesting in that whole event to me was the Homepod Mini, but I've never owned anything like that so I might be overhyping it a bit.

Besides the bigger screen, what does the Pro Max have over the Pro?

The most fundamental change is that it has a completely different, much larger primary sensor. It’s 47 percent bigger and uses 1.7-micron pixels, the largest Apple has ever used on an iPhone. While the sensor is still 12 megapixels in resolution, the larger pixels and surface area mean it’ll capture much more light and should turn out cleaner results. Together with the new f/1.6 lens, Apple is claiming an 87-percent improvement in low-light performance over the 11 Pro Max. That’s huge.

The 12 Pro Max also uses a different type of image stabilization technology called sensor shift, which moves the sensor around multiple axes in response to external motion. It’s commonly found in DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, whose makers then benefit from not having to build OIS into lenses. Apple says this adds a full stop of stabilization — in other words, letting you use twice as long a shutter speed, all things being equal. That takes the 12 Pro Max up to two-second handheld exposures in regular shooting, which could reduce the need for night mode in all but the darkest conditions.

Finally, the 12 Pro Max has a longer (and slightly slower) telephoto lens than the 12 Pro, at 65mm-equivalent f/2.2 versus 52mm-equivalent f/2.0. Apple says that this “allows for longer framing in the classic portrait style,” and while 65mm isn’t a common portrait photo length at all, it’s true that it’s more conventionally appropriate than 52mm. It also expands the 12 Pro Max’s optical “zoom” reach from 2x to 2.5x; Apple markets this as a 5x zoom range, but that’s including the 13mm-equivalent ultrawide lens. (Phone makers that tout their 5x periscope zoom lenses are counting from the regular wide lens; the Huawei P40 Pro’s 5x lens is 125mm-equivalent, for example, meaning the total zoom range of the phone is more like 7x.)

I'm disappointed that we again have to go to the most unwieldy size to get the best camera. The sensor is a serious upgrade over the Pro.
