I think they still innovate and I think they do a little of what you say too — the 5se is a repackage job, but it's for a new audience too and I think that's good. I'm really okay with Apple making money.... it's better than if they are not making money as you can only do that so long before you're gone.
Got a tip for us?

If there is no Apple Pencil support I'm not even remotely interested.
I don't want an iPad Pro. I want a mini or an air with pencil support.
Wake up Apple!!!!

You resale the 5SE is a budget product right? This isn't instead of an iPhone 7. It's literally an upgraded 5S because it's popular and they're making it better.
Me too. The form factor is so much better on the 5S for one handed use. Two handed use is just frustrating.
It's funny how I hear everyone is excited about the ipad air 3 and new iphone, but no one cares about the watch.
Excited to see what changes the iPad Air 3 will bring but rumours suggest there will be no Apple Pencil support or a 4K display. Just improved performance and speakers similar to what the iPad Pro has.
I'm also the only person excited to see what new Apple Watch bands are released!!

Please do not call it 5se, that's a terrible name.
I have a 6s+. Love it but thinking I'd prefer a smaller phone, even smaller than 4.7. If the 5se is basically a 6s then i'll get it but if not, i'll wait and see if they ever add the 4" to the flagship lineup.
The pencil is the dumbest product Apple has released in recent memory. It's an overpriced and glorified stylus which Steve Jobs would never have approved of.
Products like the pencil have started to turn Apple into a complete joke.
What about Macs ?!!
Why doesn't this article even mention macs.
Every single Mac product could potentially be updated this event, except for high end iMac.

I would love to see the bezel go away or get smaller with the iPhone 7+.
I'd like to see a reworked 15' MBP, with the styling and features of the new MacBook. I like the new MacBook, but I need the bigger screen and flexibility and power of the MBP....of course, any current MB, MBA or MBP would be a screamer, next to my Late 2008 MBP...
I'm willing to bet the iPad Air 3 will retain the same processor/RAM as the air 2, like the mini 2/3. At least the rumored Air 3 will have reasons to upgrade besides Touch ID. Probably still won't upgrade from my Air 2.
Of course there is nothing wrong in making money. They are running world's most valuable company. But was this company like this every before? Making money with going to sell old products in new package? Are they too hungry that, they are trying to make a cheaper version so so hard to gain market share! Their focus is completely in cheaper iphone even though 5c was disaster!
Excited for the Air 3. Finally upgrading from my ancient iPad 3.
- Keep continuing sale of 5S is the best budget phone right now in market and for god sake don't try to do dirty cheap tricks to make older device slower with new updates!
- Give 32GB base model in every iphone. It will automatically comes into best primary entry level phone with all feature.
- Dont make your buyers feel cheated. You can give 64GB phone with price of 32GB, then why not for 16GB buyers? why to loot $100 of 16gb buyers to keep them tempting on name of 64GB?
- They are wasting time, efforts and their image to fall into budget phone. Well they have everything what they can use their current hit products to make them in affordable budget category. Why not make current product affordable instead of doing everything to make a whole new affordable category?
I'm not giving Apple any more money until the 15" Macbook Pro gets a proper update.
The current product lineup has gotten pretty bloated under Tim Cook because he's obsessed with maximizing profits, not making the best quality devices. Apple has forgotten their priorities and now they're no different from any other tech company.
I have my phone on silent with no vibrator on, all the time.
I´m not spending $1000 just to see the notifications I'm trying to ignore
When the day comes that Apple understands that the watch should be the main device and the big-screen the accessory, then I will be first in line
The Air 3 really needs to support the Pencil, otherwise it's a pointless update.
If the Air 3 has an A9X, 4gb RAM, and Apple Pencil support, I may sell my iPad Pro. The motion blur on the Pro is ridiculous.
