Here we go already. Soon we’ll hear the iPhone 13 will be delayed. 
Or just get the battery replaced for the...what is it $99 for a genuine Apple battery. If you are happy with the 8 and it does what you want..
That's all that any of the new devices will be. They have all come so far that there is not much that can be done that will be "groundbreaking" ...to a point. A different shape? There is flip or candy bar, etc. Cameras are crazy good for what they are. I can't think of anything that I will call groundbreaking, aside from maybe making the Apple watch standalone and have ALL of the features and power of the iPone 13....and maybe a remote screen that you can watch movies, etc.
Yes, I paid $299 for my 6 64GB on launch day. I believe the insanity started with the 8 when it jumped to $799 or something like that.
I don't that any phones where ever 3-4 hundred dollars. My first one a Mitsubishi DiamondTel analog was more that that and my first Palm Treo 600 Was almost $750
You bought a subsidized phone - your carrier paid the difference and you were under a contract with an early-termination fee if you left.
The no-contract price for a 64GB iphone6 was $750.
What it'll cost you to get a no-contract Apple iPhone 6
Don't want another two-year noose? You can get a contract-free GSM version of the new iPhone -- for a price.

Weird... because the 64GB iPhone 6 actually cost $749
You must have gotten a "deal" through your carrier...

Hopefully not... I'm guessing Apple has already secured 2021 chip-making capacity with TSMC or whatever...
You can do that if you've got lots and lots of money!
It sucks for everyone else, though...
Munster, Ives, Huberty, & Cramer are "The Band of Four AAPL Cheerleaders" masquerading as Pro Stock Analysts.
Whatever ANY one of them says should be taken with a Grain of Salt.
NOT saying that Ives is wrong in this particular case, but he does remind me of a Henry B. of years ago, with his so-called "supply chain checks" ... that didn't work out so well for Henry B.

I’m guessing more of November because when the iPhone 12 was released in October 2020, that probably means it will be a little more delayed. But we will find out at WWDC in the summer. But I also may be wrong at the same time. Software Updates have been being released faster than usual. That hints that there may be an earlier release date for the iPhone 13. But sometime between August and November.
It’s going to be fun watching you melt your credit card again this year! 😜
I mean so do I, but your posts are more fun and even I chickened out of Titanium or Steel and got the Nike Apple Watch in Aluminum. If they add blood sugar monitoring this year I’ll upgrade the watch to another Nike one, but otherwise I want to get at least 2 years out of the watches.
I’d like to hang onto my 12 Pro Max another year, but if the color of 2021 is a deep red, I don’t think I can resist.

Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it.
I'm hoping it's deep red or burgundy red. Rest assured, I will be placing an order this year happily. Already have money saved up this year.
So far, I plan on ordering a new:
Apple Watch
iPhone 12S or 13 Pro Max
Macbook Pro 16 Inch model
Ofcourse all of them will be top of the line/top tier models

Apple can ship me a new phone every single year, yet the stock clock app still can't set more than one timer.
Pretty crazy they still can be considering the global semiconductor shortages happening right now. Many manufacturers are cancelling products. GM is selling vehicles without certain features like fuel economy setups because they can't source the parts needed to make it happen. Ford has cut production, as has Nissan and many others.
If this is true, it really speaks to the power of Apple's hold on their supply chain. It's amazing they can jump in line over other multi-national goliaths.

I've always just done it with alarms. "Hey Siri, set an alarm for 5 minutes. Set an alarm for 15 minutes. Set an alarm for 25 minutes." Works just fine when I'm cooking or doing anything else that needs multiple timers.Apple can ship me a new phone every single year, yet the stock clock app still can't set more than one timer.
Yeah, that is indeed a work around - that I then have to go back and delete all of the unused alarms afterwards. It's just basic functionality that should already exist. "Siri - set a timer for XXXXX" "There's already a timer running, should I update it?" . . . .
That’s how my wife feels about her iPhone X. It already has Face ID, OLED, wireless charger, dual speakers, IPX rating and the much beloved but now forgotten 3D Touch. There has never been that much enticement to upgrade. Plus you always feel good about yourself with an extra $1000.
There are countless apps available for free which will do what you want if that doesn't work for you. Not sure why we must expect every base app to do everything.
I'm upset my oven only has 2 timers. How dare they not come to my house and upgrade me to one with more timers. This is 2021, we should have ovens covered in timers by now.
