So the Max resolution was what most of us predicted (based on known development points/pixels and the leaked physical size), I'm sure it'll be fantastic, my big question to myself: do I want to go back to that form factor? I mean, outside of the display, and I suppose the battery life, there's not anything uniquely compelling about it - and the battery life on my X is stellar, so it's really all about display vs. physical size ... hmm ...

Man love all the time spent on wireless charging which I was told last year was the wave of the future.

I mean, there's plenty to criticize from the presentation, but that's a pretty lame complaint. They don't have anything new on that front, but it's not like they removed it. It was a new feature last year, it's not this year, would you prefer they spent time rehashing Qi charging again?
 
No mention of AirPods or AirPower is kinda lame. I like the updates we got, but nothing was surprising. I already knew I’d be buying the Xs and Series 4. I’d really hoped the pricing rumors were true though… :(
 
That whole presentation could of been a silent update on their site. These have gotten worse and worse. And I never used to complain about these things. They pack it full of ads for gamers/developers too to drag the time out and make you think it's a big event. I'm a bit perplexed there wasn't airpods/iPad or something. They are gung ho on FOCUS ON THE iPHONE! YOU BUY THIS!
 
The watch is the only thing I’m somewhat excited about but as is becoming the norm, not all features are going to be available at release. I’m still probably going to get a 44mm sport with LTE but maybe not on release day, $529 is a hard pill to swallow. Have to admit, this was pretty underwhelming and there were pretty much no surprises. I like the new iPhones but they are just getting outrageously expensive, even with the IUP, the monthly cost just keeps going up and up!

I think Apple Watch was the star of the show, followed by iPhone XR which is going to be a really big mass-market hit. iPhone X updates were kinda meh.

Single lens portrait mode is underrated imo. Your getting arguably the best feature of dual lens iPhones. You’re also getting the a12 chip, Face ID, tap to turn on and multiple colors!
 
What was the pricing for the new iPhones? Presentation got boring mid way through then put me to sleep at the end.

I like how they hype up the capabilities the new iPhones and will probably implement artificial restrictions to gimp previous models when in reality the differences are marginal.

I'm not sure why I even bother watching these anymore.

Surprise new iPhone with a new camera, faster processor, and better screen....like every year. New watch. Cool hope that's enough to keep you interested till next year!
 
The XR resolution is.... 1792 X 828. So it can only do 720P HD. In 2018 on a £750 phone... that is rubbish and will look so so so so bad next to the new XS and other phones.
It’s not even the resolution of the Plus they kept comparing it to..
Never had a problem looking at 720p videos on my iPhone 7+. I'm sure people with an 8+ don't have an issue either.

Marketing just goes too far these days.

The ALL NEW Bionic >>> Max Blaster <<< FORCE TEN Death Ray (v2).......message app with 10 new emotes.

How good is it at making calls in the middle of nowhere, e.g. the bathroom?
Will the battery drop by 7% after taking 3 photo's first thing in the morning?
Will the new Ai PLEASE beat up the old Ai that knows best about my spwlling!

100% recycled materials is good though.
