I could give a fat rat’s A** about what the name is. Only time I use it is when I have to look for the specific name when buying it. Other than that, that’s it.
Got a tip for us?

Last-Minute Apple Event Rumors: No Two-Way Charging on iPhones, 10.2-Inch iPad Expected, and More

I think this release will be as 'muted' as last year's. I think the one to watch for is the 5G one in 2020. Whether that's a big deal or not, it won't stop the masses from believing that it's some sort of 'game-changer.'
That's the thing; they complain about the size, but never specify how much they need. From a consumer perspective, I can understand an SD (or similar) card slot. On the business side, that would cost Apple since people can get more capacity for cheaper elsewhere.
Also, Apple's free iCloud, while nice to have it, is still pathetic at only 5 GB. I would like it to at least match the iPhone's base capacity. So right now, what, 32, or 64 GB? And if it increases, iCloud should match that. As I said, it's nice that they offer a free version, and they don't have to do that. However, it's so little compared to current capacities, they might as well not have it at all.
Hahaha this place is a miracle

Even leaving it out within your field of vision is highly risky. It's a small item, and a momentary distraction is all it would take for somebody to walk off with it.
The Watch Series 4 had quite a bit of buzz last year. The phones? Not so much. I'm looking to see what they do with iPads and watch.
To walk off with it, yes. But it was clearly said to have it on the table and someone drain your battery by then placing their device on yours. Not stealing it. Like really, you’re not going to see that?
They could just do as they do with computers and (frequently) iPods. I.E. iMac[year]
The iPhone 4 one was a masterpiece and highlights everything that is missing from Apple and their events since.
If they do drop the numbers I can’t see them selling the previous years iPhones anymore. It seems like they are barely adding many major features these days. They already discontinued the X because the XS was so similar to it. I can see them discontinuing the XS as well once the 11 or whatever it’s called gets announced today.
I can especially see them discontinuing older “X” series phones if the rumours of them making a new SE phone are true.
Here's the deal...what gets stored on an SD-Card? Apps, photos, movies, TV shows, critical personal data, text files? Who gets to decide that? The consumer? Apple? How does Apple keep that data secure, given their privacy focus? What happens when the SD Card wears out (they do, photographers tell me) or the slot won't read after that phone accidentally gets dropped a couple of times (case or no case, doesn't matter)? Who responsible for the SD card then and recovering the data? Apple? The SD Card maker? What happens when/if the card is removed accidentally by the user, or their child? Does the phone stop working correctly and forces you to get an SD Card before it will work again? While you're vacationing just outside of Prague? Or sunning it up on Sardinia? Or on the flight home when you realize that your kid flushed it down the toilet or dropped it on the floor of the A380? What happens if someone finds it? Are those racy photos of your wife, g/f, s/o encrypted? If so, can the SD card keep up with the Photos app when you're sightseeing? Can it keep up with video? 4K/60p HEVC video? Or does it buffer? Which cards work, which don't? Should Apple support all cards, even the crap ones you have left over from some other device you got rid of but forgot to eBay the SD Cards?
I can literally go on for another 500 words...it's a rabbit hole. A dark insidious rabbit hole presented as a beneficial customer feature when it's not really.
Agree that 5GB is pretty chintzy, especially considering that cameras are so important to the customer in Apple's eyes, yet they cannot seem to see users needing more than 5GB of space to store them. I pay 99¢ for 50GB and that's enough for me, but 32GB should be the minimum, considering that is the base storage tier for both the entry level iPad (6th Gen) and/or iPhone (7/7Plus). More than that is another debate entirely.
I see your 18W charger and raise you a 45W charger on my Note 10+
Jealous...of the charger! The only negative that hopefully will continue to be improved-upon, is the speed and wattage of wireless charging. I know Samsung is making strides here as well, so hopefully we’ll get to an industry standard in the 20+ watt range sooner than later.
False rumor = broken promise by Apple.

Isn’t it amazing? People on this site hate Apple and think the event will be total and utter garbage without having seen any of it.
I just want to read normal/rational comments. Majority of posts on here are just sooo exaggerated.
Of course the charging won't be 100% efficient. I'd be very interested to see how many mw a Samsung phone expends to charge another phone by,say 100 mw. If it's really excessive that may explain a lot.

Guilty as charged lol.
Depends on how you use your iPhone/iPad. I replaced my iPhone and two iPads last year and looked at how much local storage I was using. Turns out I was using roughly 40GB (because almost everything is synced to someone's cloud storage). So both iPads and the iPhone were purchased with 64GB. YMMV, though. Check your phone and see how much you're using.
