The iPhone SE was not at the party

A summing up of this event for professional Apple users and what it means to them.

apple.com redirects the buy iPhone X banner to iPhone Xs and Xs MAX. lame

why lame? it's the new phone.

 

[noles1983]

Well then, I guess I'll hang on to my 8 Plus for another year and treat myself to one of those lovely new watches.

Exactly what I'm doing, saving money on overpriced phones and upgrading my series 0 watch. Plenty of fools will rush to upgrade their year old phones, not this guy.

not sure if this is new, but this is what apple's website says about airpower:

• The AirPower mat has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained.

but but but but people were saying the X plus will be 999.........

 

[PJM83]

So after coversion base model max is 1560 usd over here... ouch.

"But we do have... No more things"

2000.00 cdn for 512gb wtffffff

You paid nearly as much for your Pixel 2 and it doesn’t even have half the per-core power of the iPhone X. Even a 6S would be a step up. You’d get headphones with that too.

Actually I paid $550 for my Pixel 2 - the smaller version. It was on sale $100 off when I purchased it. The iPhone Xs Max is not worth TWICE as much.

 

[Edsel]

Ouch is right $1,999 for 512gb model double ouch

Yes, insane pricing. Glad I kept my Motorola flip phone.

 

[Yaboze]

Not liking the prices, the Xr is way too high and is not even 1080p at that size. smh

 

[Eagle1337]

Kuo failed on the "cheaper" part of the predictions. (I wished that one was true)

The iPhone SE was not at the party

Not to be the cynic here, I think iPhone SE was a one time offering and we likely won’t see that form factor again.

 

[PlainviewX]

Xr is, by far, the better option.

 

[Packers1958]

$1249 for a 256gb Xs max. Yikes.

 

[CalmEnvy]

Can't wait to see what the prices will be here in Canada, $1500+ Xs Max here we come!!!

 

[CLS727]

I'll buy the XS Max.

But no iPad X.... no Mac Mini Pro.... no Mac Pro....

 

[b_scott]

The iPhone SE was not at the party

why would it be? the Xr is the new SE

 

[fathergll]

Remember when the new iPhone each year started at $600?

I remember when they were $200-$300

 

[henrive]

Hope the October event brings the AirPower mat.

ya man, what is the problem with the mat I don't understand just release it...

I am thinking I’m the only person really happy about what I saw at the Keynote today.

And just a couple of weeks ago I had been absolutely sure I was going to buy a Note 9 and not even look at an iPhone this year. I laugh at myself.

I’m fine with the keynote as well, but for a different reason. I never expected Apple to give charity/lower prices on their phones.

I didn’t expect them to be gangster and cut certain phones, but they did what they needed to do to move people forward with them or elsewhere.

They are magically unapologetic.

I searched this thread. Did no one else notice that Tim Cook and Phil Schiller are wearing alternating colours of trousers and shirts? Khaki and Blue

 

[PowerGala]

I don't remember Apple Care having an option for theft protection... That's interesting.

$15 a month or $299 for 2 years. (per Apple.com)

 

[basehead617]

Yes, insane pricing. Glad I kept my Motorola flip phone.

This IS a joke right?
