There is no breaking new tech available.
Looks like you have no clue about how innovation works.
Other companies are branching out into foldables. This is new tech. Bleeding edge tech. There is new tech apple can do but they don’t choose to be first or second or even 10th to the game. Apple has the means to innovate day one ahead of the competition and its just has never been that way for a long time. I consider iPhone 4 days bleeding edge technology with the hardware to match. They can do it. They choose to milk their products and eventually get into the game.
I fell asleep after the iPad Air announcement. that stretched out Apple Watch segment made me sleepy.
Now that the urge to have the latest and greatest on launch day has left me, my excitement over these events is on the wane as well. Great products, but for me......meh. Nothing to make me want to run out and upgrade my S4 or Air 3 right away. They serve me well for what they do, and their role in my day to day is diminishing. The watch annoys me more and more, and the iPad has less of a use case, as I prefer my 2020 MBA and MBP 16” for what I do.
Great updates if you don’t have them or are on much older devices, but for me....not running out to spend 599 on an air 4, plus all the extras for it to sit on my nightstand like my air 3.

My opinion of foldable has gone from no way would I consider one to.....that actually looks pretty cool.
Pulse Oximetry was introduced to market in the early 80's, although first described and used in the 1940's in the UK neonatal area, and Plethysmography in the early 2000's became an area of interest, fully realised around 2005.
As far as the fitness app, have a look at the GPS track for your workouts (runs and rides) and you'll see that the GPS doesn't lock for around 45 secs, and is all over the place. The DC Rainmaker website has a full breakdown of the Apple Watch in this respect, where he drills down real deep with many other devices that he tests with, to show the issue. Most sports watches allow you to get a lock before you start your workout, what Apple appears to do, is take the last fix from an associated iPhone, and then guess until it locks.
Yes. In English speaking countries only of course.
Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom.
The Air 4 is nice, but I know the identical mini 6 coming in six months will be even nicer, at least for me. I’m on the fence with the Apple Watch series 6. It would be my first Apple Watch, but I’m a little concerned that the addition of the product red and sure to be popular blue color this year could be an indication that a major redesign, maybe round or oval based on an Apple patent, could be coming next year.
Crazy how the Prosser hate hasn’t just taken over r/Apple but now MacRumors forums, too. His personality on FPT and Twitter shouldn’t have anything to do with the leaks he produces and they are good at times, bad at others - like with many leakers. But with him, people seem to feel personally insulted whenever he’s wrong and now even when he is right because they’re so blinded by hate. Why?
Why can’t we just take all his leaks with a grain of salt and then not hate him for being wrong when that inevitably happens?
And although he is often quite smug, he actually did apologise last week for getting our hopes up when all they did was not announce Watch and iPads, but an event for Watch and iPads:
New Ipad (non-air) is pretty embarassing, not much change in 6 years over the air 2, processor upgrade but a downgrade in terms of non-laminated screen, no anti reflective coating. Also these are present on the Mini 5th gen, and same processor but mini 5th gen also up to 256gb and new ipad only up to 128gb. Plus an weight increase of over 10% and no change in battery life. No face ID, still touch ID and broadly a simiar pricepoint. Can't help but think the 32gb option is slightly embarrassing and only designed to push people to buy 128gb for £100 more in the UK. Oh forgot pencil support continued.... wow.
I'm definitely getting the Apple Watch S6, iPad Air and the new iPhone 12 (not sure which one yet). I've never had an Apple Watch before as I always wore a mechanical watch but since the pandemic I've been working from home and haven't worn the mechanical watch apart from a couple of times. Now I think the S6 would be a lot more useful for me and the blood oxygen feature is a big plus. I love the all screen iPad Air and I don't need the power or features of the Pro. The only other thing I'd buy is an updated Airpods with a shorter stem like the Pro's (I don't like the silicon buds).
I've been hoping for a while that the iPad Mini would get a refresh similar to the iPad Air i.e. move to the no-home-button iPad Pro design. I'm a bit undecided about how they would deliver the benefits of an almost edge-to-edge screen if they did go that way with the iPad Mini, would they keep roughly the same physical dimensions as the current iPad Mini and give it a bigger screen or would they keep the 7.9" screen but make the device physically smaller? Either one would be good in my mind although I think I'd lean slightly towards a smaller device with the same 7.9" screen.
Between this event and the useless iPad Pro event in March, 2020 is really shaping up to be Apple’s “lost year”.
2021 needs to be a year of real change and innovation. There’s plenty of companies who coasted on their portfolio in the dustbin of history. Jobs focused on product and the share value followed. For Cook, he’s focused almost entirely on share value, with nothing new to back it up. This is very much an unsustainable business model.
Apple needs to make a course correction now, to prepare for its next phase.
Nothing to see.
Who needs an iPad with 6 cores? If you want to do gaming, you can get the latest XBox or PS for less.
And what about the home button? Did it disappear? Grandpa and grandma will not be amused.
The Apple Watch has looked the same for more than five years.

Yeah its pretty amazing. They referenced asthma which I have, not sure how this helps but I haven't dug too much into it yet. But I'm loving the continual improvement to the health benefits of the watch.
Nothing to see for you.
For me, I'm interested in the ipad and AW. That it looked the same for more than 5 years, is a plus, because I like the way it looks. Different strokes for different folks.
What's sad is that people don't seem to realize that:
Apple didn't get to be a $2T company:
- wasting people's time with unnecessary fluff in the reveals
- presenting "meh" product updates for years in a row
- wasting money, time and resources
- by becoming a simple consumer product company that forgot how to innovate
And this is not a love Apple at all costs post, but posts like the above signify a big disconnect in the reality of how the world at large perceives Apple.
ive always loved my iPad mini and would love to have it in my pocket while I go out and do things by myself. Would make video watching and multitasking while away from home actually fun and useful. I think its the biggest thing for phones over the next 10 years.
That's not correct, as Watch 6 has a new sensor incorporating red and infrared LED emitters, in order to achieve a much more accurate reading across a wide range of skin pigmentations.
I'm going from a Series 4 to the 6. The always on display will the big increase. But the O2 test is very timely with COVID going around. And after two years of wearing, the battery life of my 4 is a bit worse than it used to be. Seems like a nice upgrade. And expect I will be able to sell Series 4 for about $100. Like you, I use it daily. So even a slight improvement (and always on display is probably a huge improvement) will be an improvement I get every day.
Certainly, It looks like you have no clue what you are talking about.
Look at the Apple product line,
Macbooks Pro it took them 4 years to fix a defective keyboard. Only minor internal upgrades in the past 5 years.
iMac, still internal upgrades and a 10 year old external outdated design.
Mac Pro took them 6 years to acknowledged a failed design of the trashcan.
Such a great innovation. The only product that actually innovates is the Watch.
Sadly Apple has dropped innovation long time ago to milk existing products with internal upgrades.
