Here is the revised AirPod. Note the small dot on the front—either a charging LED or I think it could be a tiny speaker that you can use to locate it it easier if you lose it? I wonder if they've improved anything internally such as the battery life or have a W2 chip.

Still not true quad HD seeing that the resolution will be 1125×2436 instead of actual Quad HD which is 2560×1440 (S8 is 2960x1440 nearly 3K for comparison). If the screen has no ProMotion which has not leaked yet...some here will be highly disappointed. Enjoy true tone.....
 
What's with the red crown? another sensor? Is it me or does the AW3 look thinner?
To me it looks like AW3 is thinner, bigger? and the screen occupies more space in the black area. The red button looks like a sensor (blood oxygen? Glucose???) or could be a notification light.

The original Macintosh changed the world of computing forever. The next version of iOS kills 32 bit apps, has no headphone jack, and has no soul unlike the original Mac.
I don't get it.

The Original Macintosh didn’t run PC programs, didn’t have the ports Woz wanted and was more locked down than anything else on the market at the time.

How someone can say it has no soul is beyond belief. It’s literally the reincarnation of the original Mac.

Exactly why I'm buying a new iPhone BEFORE this happens. I will not predict it will bomb by any stretch as I know it won't, but it's a turning point in my opinion of Apple. This is not caring about consumers or giving them what they want or even what they think they want.

Brighter colors vs. short life span of the display and phone

Easy authentication via 1 finger vs. complicated iris & facial scan

I see a rush to buy into this coolness and then a reality check.

Samsung doesn't have IOS, but if ever they had an opportunity to beat Apple, they better strike while the iron is hot.
Because it's clear even though Apple won the lawsuit, they got TimMAY bent over bigtime. :(
 
I am imagining the following scenario during the announcements:

'Now we want to to talk to you about Apple Watch. The Series 3 is incredible. And I'd like to show it to you. But first of all I need to say one very important thing about the new Series 3 Watch:

DON'T PRESS THE RED BUTTON!

I'm sure you'll want to know why. Unfortunately I can't tell you.

BUT JUST DON'T PRESS THE RED BUTTON OK?!!! EVER!!!

Moving on...'

"Portrait Lighting" makes me think it's something that might be done more in software than hardware. I'm not sure how you do some of those lighting effects with just the flash on the device. I kind of wonder if it makes more of a 3D map of your face, perhaps even more accurate with a laser scan depth map (there were rumors about something like this and laser-assisted auto focus), and from there it uses software to add lighting effects across the surfaces of your face. Perhaps this could be made more realistic with a better camera that captures a higher range of tonal values in RAW and processes it in real-time with the A11 chip?
