Live Coverage of Apple's 'See You on the 7th' iPhone 7 Event

[BMcCoy]

Solution: Don't Buy It.

That would actually get the message across to the profit-driven Apple of the present..

 

[Dino F]

WOW?!?!?!

Before the keynote started, this thread was on page 6. Now it's almost reached 100?!!!!!!!!!

JET BLACK IPHONE 7 PLUS ALL THE WAY.

 

[Ishayu]

I am completely stunned at no new Mac announcements. The entire product range is SEVERELY out of date and consequently severely overpriced. Unbelievable.

I don't want a Windows laptop for personal use, but I am seriously starting to doubt if I will just have to do that. There just aren't any Macs coming out and I'm not in the market for 4 year old CPU and GPU technologies.

I am torn. I like the upgrades. But the arrogance and the potshot taken at those of us who love our wired headphones really grated on me. Could have been handled better. I don't really feel like buying now because I feel like I'd be vindicating their arrogance.

I definitely don't appreciate the arrogance of reserving the new jet black color for the higher price/storage tier. But I know many will come up with great justifications for this.

Sia Ga Ga won't help sell me on this. I'll have to think about this using logic and reason and seriously evaluating what I want.

Definitely won't be preordering.

...the hell is happening onstage right now?

 

[Ndalby]

Ouch $159 for AirPods (or more like £159 in the UK). Think I will stick with my Anker NB10's, of which it is unlikely one will become lost or fall out at the gym...

"Courage, the courage to move on"...

no... COWARDICE... the cowardice to not stand up to Ive and Dre. This isn't about a magical experience, or improvement for customers... this is 1000% about selling wireless Beats products. DON'T tell me about "Apple and the Floppy Disk". The floppy was already obsolete when Apple removed it.
Headphone jacks are FAR from obsolete. There is a reason that the 3.5" jack has survived since THE 80's!!! Those Airbuds are going get lost 4 times a day, and not be charged when you want them... but... BEATS !!! Apple cares more about Dre than it's customers. Apple has now fixed another things that was not broken. That's not innovation, it's money grubbing. The winner here is clear... Beats and Samsung.

"back when Apple was a computer company...." Eddie Cue - 2016

If only there was some magical way for you whiners to still use your 3.5mm headphones... Hmmmmmm.......

Y no MBP

Because Macs have never been at the September event?

 

[jonnysods]

Same battery life on AW2 compared to gen 1.

Who the hell is this artist lol, never heard of her!

 

[Zeov]

This is the first time I am dreading the introduction of a new iPhone, because of what it won't have. Anyone who thinks they will provide lightening or wireless headphones with the new iPhone is smoking something good.

Hi.

 

[KPOM]

I genuinely think the iPhone 7 is great, but I just can't buy it without a jack.

At least the adapter is included and not an extra $29. Hopefully Apple opens up the new wireless protocol and we see lots of other options. It's time to cut the cord!

They may do a separate event.

 

[Illuminated]

Perfomance theater?

 

[jjduru]

so live you can see the lip-sync

You might wanna check your internet connection.

Pretty crazy that Apple are locking people into their own propriety technologies for both wireless and hard wired audio. Such a horrible move for the tech industry. This is pure greed driven.

 

[chagla]

$159 for EarPods??? thats insanely overpriced

it's the only way you can listen to magical unicorns singing.

 

[apolloa]

Is this artist the one they took the complete mickey out of in South Park? Sounds like it.

 

[0007776]

Welp, lets now watch how it won't be a bestseller solely because of the removal of the 3.5mm jack.

I expect its return next year.

I hope it does poorly enough that it wakes Apple up so they bring it back next year.

 

[Kobayagi]

LOL at this ridiculousness....almost as bad as Lady Gaga's nonsense.

If you can't wow them with your talent at some instrument or your voice, you gotta look like a idiot to attract people...

 

[meaning-matters]

Horrible shallow music, both in tone and content.

 

[UKPoliticsGuy]

Why weren't the dancers wearing the new watch? #missingatrickthere

 

[Kona45]

What is happening?!?!?!

 

[jdillings]

so live you can see the lip-sync

ROFL...Apple tells us how much music and Bill Graham's legacy means to them and then puts on Sia lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track.

 

[ramonabynes]

Anyone else pissed that the jet black doesn't come in 32gb? Seems like a blatant money grab. Holy ****, Apple, when does it stop?

I am, but I think the other black will be fine for me.
