Tim is really cementing his place as the most iterative and slow moving CEO out there. AirPods 3 having no audio improvements is lame. The new phones will have minor tweaks here and there but it sounds like they're trying to make up for the fact that it's nothing special by giving them splashy color makeovers (which is fine but it's lipstick on a pig). Honestly I miss the Apple of innovation not iteration. I guess the Air is the star of the show but who is that really for? People who want to charge their phone 3x a day I guess.

Even though we know basically everything through extensive rumors, leaked photos, etc, I am still more excited for tomorrow than I thought I would be. Seems like some welcome upgrades to iPhone series (promotion across all models, smaller DI, larger batteries, big camera upgrades, reverse wireless charging).
 
Will enjoy being an armchair viewer of the keynote. But I can't imagine buying a new iPhone for several years.

When I got my 11 Pro Max I thought: THIS IS AWESOME

When I finally ugraded to the 16 Pro Max I thought: Yeah, this is nice.

It would take some radical improvement or losing my phone to get me to upgrade again.
 
If a company were proud of a new announcement, it would conduct a live show rather than a pre-recorded one. Therefore, if Apple does not hold a live event for a major announcement, it suggests that the information being unveiled is not significant. Sad but that’s the fact of life.

Won't happen. Zoomers wont be able to find the Mini in their pants pocket. We gotta wait for skinny jeans to make a come back at this point.

what happened to the watch pocket?

edit: just kidding, I know it's too small. But it gave me an excuse to link to one of the most-awarded ads ever.

At this point Tim Cook can just step on the stage and say: “Good morning everyone! It’s a great day here at Apple HQ. Head to Macrumors to find out everything about the new iPhone. It’s the best we’ve ever made.”
There hasn't been a single rumor about how many stupid jokes were put into the presentation, so there might actually be some surprises.
 
Very excited to finally see the new iPhones. Planning to get the 17 Pro Max. Hopefully in Orange. Will be great if the zoom is 5x or more. Has been very interesting to hear all the rumors. Cannot wait to see what Apple will be announcing in the next 12 hours.

My final rumour is it won't be called the iPhone Air but will use a new name. Slim, maybe a return of nano?

This is a phone Apple want's you to pay a premium for, and currently Air refers to everyday models. It's not even the thinnest iPad!
 
At this point, I really really want Apple to troll the leakers by announcing nothing that the rumourmill has been saying is coming.

At least it would give people something new to complain about other than "too incremental".

I don't know what's this focus with esim only phones. Just include a physical sim tray for all models to make it easy for travellers and increase the battery capacity. I don't mind a thicker phone.

I feel like there are legit Apple employees that do visit and post on this forum ha.

The new 17 air basically weighs the same but you get a proper screen and a much better device
You are missing on a point here. Mini users got their phones for their form factor, and also consider the screen to be more than enough. In fact, it’s the main feature of the mini. We don’t need larger screens. I personally haven’t bought any 6.1 inch iPhone yet. I jumped directly from the 8 to the mini. Some of us prefer those screens. I would have bought at least 3 more generations of iPhones had Apple continued to offer the mini form factor. But I’m just a drop in the ocean.

No Apple Fold makes this another ho-hum nothing to see here, pass and wait a year event. Nothing in a 17 that would make me move on from a 14PM.
