Live 2019 iPhone Event Coverage: 'By Innovation Only'

[routine_analyst]

Free for a year... because users would burn through the limited content immediately making the 4.99 price tag seem unworthy.

 

[TsMkLg068426]

Apple+ streaming service is over priced IMO it should be $2.99 until they add content that isn't just for kids and families until I got Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and Shudder all good enough for me for now.

 

[CWallace]

I wonder if that's only for first time subscribers. If not, I guess I'll never have to buy Apple TV+

Everyone is a first-time subscriber since it is a new service.

 

[JamieLannister]

ROFL, its the SAME DAMN IPAD!!! WTF?? GET RID OF THE BEZELS AND PUT IN FACEID! SAME A10?? dude, recycle is tim cook's expert skillset.

 

[definitive]

2019 and still has a home button.

for that reason alone, i'm out!

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

LMAO ... No new design iPad.

 

[keysofanxiety]

I was expecting that massive bloke from the old Roger Moore Bond films. Grins aggressively at the crowd and then takes a bite out of the new tablet before leaving to a smattering of confused clapping.

 

[yaxomoxay]

Not quite, you were 6 months off

Good call though

I see the glass half empty I guess …

 

[dannyyankou]

Announcing a 0.5” size increase as if it’s a huge bombshell, lol

 

[Expos of 1969]

Buy an iPhone and get it free for a year. Wow

Wow 60 bucks of dubious shows for “free”. No thanks

 

[Stormclouds]

Everyone is a first-time subscriber since it is a new service.

Of course, I'm wondering about future years.

 

[trekkie604]

Spec bump 7G iPad... meh

 

[jbachandouris]

Well, if I decide to skip iPhone 11 Plus, I will just upgrade my barely used 4th gen Apple TV instead.

 

[macduke]

One year free?? Didn't see that coming. Much appreciated Apple.

Seems like there was a rumor a long time ago about the TV service being free with their products. Interesting.

 

[Cold_Beaver]

Pretty much every single company does this. Try to find something else to prove to yourself Apple sucks. You're grasping for straws.

And you keep drinking Timmy’s juice

 

[JimmyBanks6]

ipad is still the old design are you kidding me.

 

[Elitegate]

Still with the A10? Cmon Apple

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

A10???

 

[seek3r]

The amount of available content isn't comparable to Disney+. It's far behind.

Sure, but everyone who buys a new device gets it for free (which functionally means anyone on the yearly update plan gets it for free perpetually), so they've got an *instant* market, they need to *keep* it compelling, but it can launch with much less content and get a lot users. It's not a major competitor to Disney, but it could certainly kill some of the smaller streaming services (CBS All Access and whatever NBC is planning, I'm looking at you)

 

[AngerDanger]

"I know, I know"

Shots fired

 

[Slash787]

How many freaking iPads will they release in a year

 

[yaxomoxay]

I am going to laugh if this iPad is more than $199

 

[Rogifan]

Not sure why this iPad has to get stage time. Just put out a press release.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

The mini 5 is A12. Why would they put a A10 in the new iPad?

 

[redheeler]

Bragging about the number of pixels on the iPad. Meanwhile the 15" MacBook Pro has fewer pixels than the 12.9" iPad Pro despite being $1,000+ more expensive. Go figure...
