Camera time WOO!!

 

[Rogifan]

A lot of this AR stuff there’re pushing doesn’t make sense with a phone. Perhaps Apple designed AR glasses aren’t far off?

 

[ruger]

Even 3rd party app updates are "coming later this year"

 

[ioioos]

It's starting to look like a Microsoft keynote...from three years ago. Still haven't seen anything AR to really bring it home.

 

[trekkie604]

Who stands around a table (with no chairs to trip over) aiming their phone to play a game? Maybe I'm old but that looks ridiculous.

 

[cambookpro]

God the noise of that game was annoying.

Impressed by the watch, but this phone update is making me question why I'm on the upgrade programme... They're touting a lot of what was already in the X as selling features?!

 

[chirpie]

Never write the word "wow" into a script.

So we’re just watching game advertisements now?

They can only spend so much time on animojis. They've really got nothing to make a compelling phone and games have always been good hardware demos.

 

[apolloa]

Have to add the one thing Apple does NOT need to advertise is the iPhones gaming capabilities!

 

[Dorje Sylas]

And now we find out the A12 Bionic will power the new Macbook Air.

 

[arkitect]

Anger, every one of your posts is absolute gold lmao, I don't know how you find the time to make these so fast

@AngerDanger Is obviously running the latest A12 Bionic!

 

[iMacDonald]

3 x $999 iPhones for 3-player mode. That's one expensive game.

I'd rather stick with a PC, XBOX or PS4 thanks.

Indeed. You can buy all 3 major consoles with extra controllers for the price of just one phone.

 

[D.T.]

The tech/implementation on the basketball training app is pretty amazing (having done work in that space).

 

[ssl0408]

It has FaceID V2

How do you know?

 

[ryanmcv]

These Apple events have become 90% game/AR demos and 10% product announcements. So tired of it.

 

[tcoleman]

No new SE, no new iPad mini, no Mac news, no interest.

RIP, small iPhone. :-(

 

[Kobayagi]

''Many people loved and grew up with arcades games.'' So what do we do? ''Maybe visit a arcade?'' Nope, we hold our iPhones in the air and pretend to play at the arcade...

This is so lame, like the last time they presented the Lego game. And then, they had REAL Lego in front of them.

They are trying hard to replace real, physical toys. And I really don't think they are irreplaceable.

 

[Donga120]

Still 12MP. F1.8

 

[naturalstar]

Nice games.... oooo the camera!

 

[zakarhino]

A lot of this AR stuff there’re pushing doesn’t make sense with a phone. Perhaps Apple designed AR glasses aren’t far off?

It's not *ideal* on a phone but it's useable. They need to start pushing the AR market and development well before they come out with the glasses. I think the glasses are coming out well beyond 2020+.

 

[yaxomoxay]

This will be the last year I watching Apple Keynotes!
Why the hell you allow those paid Developers to be on stage that marketing their apps more than your technology!!!!!

I guess you have never seen the 1980’s video with Bill Gates praising the Macintosh while playing a silly game.

 

[greenmeanie]

Being worried about dying will kill you just let it go already.

It doesn't always work that way.

here is just one example of when it doesn't. Which is why no one is going to take you seriously.

 

[AndyUnderscoreR]

Game beeps annoyingly... "just listen to this boss fight"... game sounds *exactly* the same.

 

[ruger]

Time for some camera love....the new iPhone now comes with 5 cameras. You will be blown away with the pictures you can take.
