I think AirTag will work on older iPhones able to install an updated version of iOS. The U1 may help accuracy when you’re close to the object but I don’t think is mandatory.
Disable Ghostery first, along with any other extensions and anti-malware like Sophos. Not fair to blame Apple when third-party apps are tampering with their page.
It's too bad they've got too many big screen iPhones all sporting their dreadful flickering OLED screens. At this point it looks like a new 5.5" LCD (Plus) iPhone ain't never gunna happen again..... (but we can always hope)
Ultra-wideband seems like an odd thing to put in your phone when literally nothing is using it. There must have been some government contract that Apple wanted to get with UW as a must-have. There doesn't even seem to be an API available for it.
It seems like it would be great for ad-hoc multi-phone communication; you could form a mesh network of devices that all talk to each other, so a team/squad could synchronize continuously and in realtime without infrastructure.
I'm confused. Wouldn't Apple want to sell AirTags to as many people and devices as possible? If they're still planning to launch that product in the near future, why are they excluding the latest iPad and iPhone from that capability?
I would really hope that folks use their stimulus checks to pay down credit card debt or build up emergency funds rather than purchasing a new phone. If their existing phone can last until after things are back to normal, until folks have jobs again, then I think it’s in their best interest to hang onto the existing phone until it’s dead.
A few months from now Apple will be selling refurbished models of these which will be just as good as full-priced models and will last the same length of time, but will be easier on the wallet.
Wow, so the iPhone SE has an A13 chip but the highest end iPad Pros still have a version of the A12. That's not good.
I actually prefer LCD so consider that a plus. Pixel density is sufficient for me so far. But my eyes are aging.
If I really understood how U1 chip would benefit me, I’m sure I would be outraged.
Apple never told us what the U1 chip is there for, how can you be outraged at something that was never announced lol
What?
What do you need your iPhone for? Do you want to run Crysis?
I use mine for text/phone. The new SE is capable of that I guess.
What are you talking about?
You don't understand yet because the real products and APIs are delayed, which is Apple's fault.

That defeats the purpose of the stimulus checks. See Japan's Lost Decade for an example of what happens when people think like you. As an extension, that's why EU has had negative interest rates (-0.5% right now) for the last 6 years.

Most likely be the same thing in the iPhone 11 (Intel). You cannot necessarily just swap modems in and out. It would have to be designed that way from the start for the A13 and Apple isn't going to use Qualcomm modems until 5G.
Your fault when not being able to recognize since 12 years that Apple releases the flagships in September
No thanks I'm sticking with my I phone 11 pro max 512GB.
wouldn't be early if they released airtags+airpower on time. now that airpower was cancelled, airtags needed to be redesigned for a different way of charging
Why? It didn't affect the wireless charging Airpods, Watch or even the iPhone.
5G just around the corner, but this looks like a great phone.
Yeah I’m in a 5G city, but if you’re not, and you don’t mind missing some features, this really is a great phone.
