I find the cheerleading audience irritating. Why do people cheer stupid stuff like "Real Time Collaboration," as if it's new. AMAZING. Also here's a tip Apple, don't use your boring plain black deck as an example of how "awesome" Keynote is. SMH. AMAZING. Oooh, a $400 device to remind me to breath. AMAZING. How can Tim, with a straight face call this the "Next Generation" Apple Watch? I am impressed with the new camera and 256 gb storage in the 7 Plus

Thanks MacRumors for a solid 5 min review, well done. Was about as exciting as GAP's fall line up of T-Shirts and Jeans. Nothing innovative at all, they cannot even keep up with other manufacturers (example: fast charging), and USB-C connector, AMOLED display, and no 3.5 jack? I am supposed to use an adapter while working out in the gym? How is my 6plus supposed to stay in my pocket? How long before that adapter starts to fray? That had to be the cheapest thing I have seen them do, how much money could they have saved by doing that? I live and travel internationally, the iPhone is great for someone who just commutes to work in the USA. Most people buy Samsung's or the like because they have more international friendly features like dual SIM, default google maps which is better internationally than Apple Maps, and better language support to name a few. I'm going to stick with my iPhone 6 plus for now, and probably get the Note 7 when they launch it here in Thailand. I'm already moved a majority of my work load at the office from my iMac to my PC because of features and stability issues, now it looks like I will need to learn to use Android. I won't sell my shares in Apple..because all their new customers have no idea what is really going on and will keep on buying.
 
Lots of negativity in this thread.
Do I stand alone in being impressed with the innovations and upgrades within the Apple watch and iPhone?

Nothing to scream from the rooftops, yet pleasant refinements and improvements to both products overall.

Innovative Hardware is nothing without Innovative Software to Leverage it. Apple ZERO software innovation!
 
It's amazing how vast majority of commenters on MacRumors now are so negative towards Apple. Why don't you guys go troll android forums or something?

I'm not saying we should blindly praise Apple, but I mean come on...

Maybe it's because they said some people want a no compromise iPhone without it being big, and then they don't update the iPhone SE. So no, they don't understand what we want.

I agree... kinda. While there was some interesting items, I wasn't at all "wowed" by anything. The last "neato" moment for me was Apple Pay.

That said - This year is the 10-year anniversary of the Intel MacBook Pro line... and next year is the iPhone 10-year... So, maybe some cool stuff is coming. I hope? ;-)

They do.. they just bash Android on the Android forums and bash Apple on the Apple forums. They troll just to troll, because they have nothing better to do, but.. troll.

I think it's because we're die-hard fans, most still have Jobs PTSD, and most are so invested in the iOS ecosystem (I have 9 years of fiscal investment under my belt) that we know Apple will get our money regardless, no matter how terrible a turn the company is making in terms of sub-par hardware and lacklustre moves in the relevance department.

I'm one of them. It's pretty upsetting. I think we all keep hoping a switch will flip. I remember clinging to my iMac G5 waiting for the keynote for the release of Intel Macs. It's sentimental.
 
Wait... why is it called the A10 Fusion processor? Why not just the A10?

Because it sticks better. A10? Oh, probably just slightly better than A9, just as A8 before. A10 Fusion? Wow, this sounds amazing! Of course, few consumers will understand the difference so the wording pulls the weight. Apple has been adopting a stronger and more manipulative marketing strategy since the last couple of years.

Hahahaha. So true. And the Apple fan boys will call, this is revolutionary because now it's fusion. Some how it can also predict your future too.

I think Apple>Samsung and iOS>Android, but Apple needs to make dramatic improvements. This was a marginal improvement. I think the home button should be gone already. They are all about planned obsolescence.
