So, yeah…
TBH we see this moest years nowadays: Apple events becoming boring and “simply more of the same”.
Occasionally we get exciting stuff like the Apple Vision Pro, but most events now are just very long commercials which zoom in all the ”amazing” details of similar stuff to last year. Be it the Fall event, WWDC or Spring event (Did we even have one this year…?)
For me: A17 is the most (or… least less) exciting: glimpse of the M3…. improved 3D for Mac

Makes me glad I just bought the M2 Macbook Air 15". The M3 will be a year later and probably have a price increase, with little to no noticeable battery life or performance increases.
Why? The reason to have a live event is to get the 'WOW' reaction from the audience.
A 5x camera and a USB-C port isn't going to do that when Samsung had both of those things in 2019.
It really does feel like Apple are playing catch-up. The standard tech-spec bumps (RAM, Processor speed, Wifi) that all phone manufacturers do aren't revolutionary. They're just the standard evolution of technology. The iPhone is basically all it's ever going to be with some minor improvements every year.
I don't think there will ever be another live iPhone/Watch/Airpod announcement unless they do a folding phone design.
My 14 Pro still looking very functional compared to the 15 family. I’ll not be upgrading.
I know that marketing wise it makes sense to focus on your best product (the pro), but since the pro is not an iPhone I need the presentation and announcement had been a snore fest. I tuned in when they released their video and not at the live presentation and after some various skips, tuned off the presentation.
It might have not been for me, if you are excited, more power to you.

What ground my gears there, was that they introduced yet another new chip for the Apple Watch, but instead of focusing on longer battery life, nope a bit more features, but same battery life… the carbon neutral message goes only so long, knowing that for batteries you need rare earth minerals.
Kinda boring event and now im confused.. will my iPhone 14 pro max battery keep up for another year? barely.. but I feel like upgrading for a 15 pro max and with that price increase seems kinda unnecessary : )
Not really. Or how would you fit half an hour of Mother Nature talk into 1 minute?!
...One More Thing. CARBON!
Mother Nature “How about you stop producing minor upgrades each year so people are forced to keep their products for longer.”
Tim “We only care about the money and want our fan boys to think we are green and some are dumb enough to believe it, at the very least it makes them feel less guilty.”
Fixed it for you. But seriously though we aren't going to be seeing the big gains we used to much anymore. We are really hitting the wall on silicon process where we can't improve as many areas of the chip anymore with die shrinks. For example, Cache has not shrunk at all since 7nm really because it just can't anymore. Because of that the benefits are more and more limited with each improvement. Yes, there are still improvements in many areas that can be made but I think people need to stop expecting 50%+ performance bumps each generation going forward.
Even if they are lackluster I do like the events in general because they give you a sort of demo of any new features and whatnot so you know what you will be getting if you upgrade, but lets be real here. The time where phone upgrades where exciting has long past, they are a very mature product now so they just aren't going to be amazing anymore.
Liked the time spent detailing product technology updates, and the iPhone/watch technology helping people when they most needed it, but there seemed to be a abundance of discussions that were at best educational concerning aspects of Apple operations not really what we were expecting.
Well. Technically it would be a fair upgrade for iPhone 11 or below users. Imo my iP12Pro ist still in good shape and helps me through the day. Better camera (macro-shots, new portrait) would be nice to have. Other than that.. I dont feel the urge to upgrade.
And I cant even understand how someone with Iphone14 would want to upgrade. Except he is somewhat real profressional-users and uses the iphone for company purposes to generate money with it

...Thanks for making that video, dear Apple, I won’t buy anything from you in the foreseeable future because your stuff has become so boring and hostile towards your users.
I was hoping to finally jump on a Pro and Watch combo, but I am not willing to pay your prices anymore if I don’t get the best camera tech and at least 256GB on the Pro base model. Stop the nickel and diming, everyone can see what you are doing.
Your target customers do not include me anymore. I believe that most of your future user-oriented innovations will come from EU regulation (free app installation, iMessage interoperability, user-swappable batteries and other components). When I need a new phone I will see what you have on offer. Until then, I might give you a few bucks for a battery swap.

I was ready to get the 15 Pro and Ultra 2, but feel like not a lot changed. Maybe will get regardless.
The event was off-putting though with the hostile Mother Nature and that stuff. Yikes.

6 minutes? Well that is shorter compared to Apple presentation of the titanium frame.
The new wikitionary entry:
Apple: Bunch of old men, presenting the same 💩every year, claiming that ist is new and the best ever.

Yeah, more padding than products. This 1yr cycle may be too much now, making them event-based instead of product-based.
Totally agree it was a boring event that dragged on for far too long. But hostile towards users? Drama queen much.
Yeah, the pic with Tim Cook and blurry servants made me think of Baron Harkonnen in the first Dune movie.
