Live 2019 iPhone Event Coverage: 'By Innovation Only'

[Motawa]

all I wanted was an AOD ... FINALLY

 

[Donnation]

Wow, in all the years of me watching these this has been the absolute worst one I've ever seen. A total embarrassment and their stock price is going to plummet.

 

[bpeeps]

Did I miss the Apple tags announcement?

No. It was a rumor, nothing more.

This was my 6th September keynote i have watched live. That was the most boring one. So far. Cameras, Cameras, Cameras, we get it.

That’s what sells the iPhone though! It’s what most people want & Apple know it. It’s what will appeal to the casual user too.

 

[yanki01]

64GB base

 

[JimmyBanks6]

Short and lacking substance.

Yikes.

 

[urbanmacUser]

Dul, dull and even more dull

 

[M.PaulCezanne]

Underwhelmed. I wanted that new Apple TV.

• iOS 13 will be available on September 19 as a free software update for iPhone 6s and later. Additional software features will be available on September 30 with iOS 13.1

I'm leaving apple because they didn't release the trackers they advertised!!

They apparently cannot manage to build a tracker device

🙄

 

[thefourthpope]

My take as someone who used to always want/need the latest. Meh. Fact is - if the camera is the biggest new feature - one has to remember how good the photos are already on the iPhone. It's not worth the upgrade. My .02. I also have an Samsung S8 and have no desire to upgrade to the S10. Same reason. Sure some nice bells and whistles for Apple and Samsung. But the phones I have are already more than I would need and actually use.

That's how I've felt the past few years, but my 8s is starting to show its age. I've been trying to hold out for the return of Touch ID but may bite the bullet this year on the 11.

 

[harriska2]

Alrighty then. Nothing to see here. Moving on.

 

[chairguru22]

People really want Apple Tags? Those would be so stupid...

 

[kepler20b]

The story of the day is iPhone 11 at $699. That phone will sell well. Making it harder to justify paying $300 more for the Pro.

I think you nailed it

Asp will go down, volume back up. Will be interesting next 4q assuming economy and trade war remain at quo or improve

 

[harrisondavies]

Yawn. Boring. Refresh alert. Not impressed at all.

 

[votdfak]

So, to wrap it up. I will get an AW5, upgrade from AW3. No new AirPods, I'll wait. I am not interested in notched iPhones.

 

[MacFather]

Deleted.

 

[snc]

Is the iPhone 11 still 720p?

it was never 720p, it's 1792 x 828

 

[Ctwinger]

This was a boring horrible launch. Nothing exciting at all. Wish I would not have sold my phone on EBay last night.

 

[apolloa]

What I find hilarious is the fact you’ve got the iPhone 11, which I presume is as thick as the XR, then they stick a huge camera bump on the back, and then the lenses of the cameras stick out beyond the hump!!!

What’s wrong Apple? Couldn’t innovate enough to make the cameras fit in that really thick space?
But I digress, the new 11 is 10,000 times better then the new ‘Pro’ models. Because it’s now 300 quid cheaper, 400 if you consider the Max! And does 99.99% of the same thing.

 

[M5RahuL]

tempted to finally upgrade from my Apple Watch 0 but then again I barely use it for anything but a watch

Wow! I salute you for holding out ! It’ll be more than worth it to upgrade. Of course, depending on your use case.

 

[Rogifan]

Apple website hasn’t been updated yet. Odd.

 

[JPack]

Did I miss ios 13 presentation?


James

iOS 13 is in shambles. Most features were moved to 13.1.

 

[ondert]

Wow... march event and this one were the lamest Apple events by farrrr... I saw completely nothing innovative. Oh liar Tim, you have become such a small man in front of my eyes.

 

[chairguru22]

I wonder if there will be a Trade-in of the Apple Watch Series 4 for a Series 5... I would consider that...

 

[albeedelacruz]

Not really impressed. It's like they upgraded the iPhone XS Max to XSS Max. Disappointed.

How long does the battery last if you use it mainly as a watch ?
