Made a (really rough) compilation of non-render Sierra Blue in different light conditions from Apple's promotional videos. Some of these might be victims of editing and filters but I am liking how it changes depending on light, just like Pacific Blue.

Can’t wait for the 24th. I love September haha.

How do you know it’s a battery hog? apple is promising a battery increase with these new iPhones.

i’ve never had a issue with my 120hz iPads. 🤷‍♂️ Don’t compare android 120hz to apple, the kings 👑🍎 of efficiency will show them amateurs how it’s done. 😎 Beast mode is arriving soon 😎👉📱

I don't mind the size...its the weight. It's just too much. I'm actually a android user, coming from pixel 4 xl which is same size(pretty much) as the 13 pro max. My pixel does not even weight as much as the 13 pro. It's going to be hard to buy a smaller phone or a phone with smaller screen. But, I probably will get use to that(I hope). So, I will go for the 13 pro instead of the max(just because of the weight).

Let's see how it's going to be, to live with an iphone instead of a android phone :) First time I'm giving apple a chance. I'm familary with ipad, mac etc. but not much with iphone.

if you’re familiar with iPad you’ll pick up iOS in no time, not a big difference, you’re going to love that buttery 24/7 smoothness. ??

Welcome to the walled garden ????

Sound like it’s something like GSync or FreeSync what they implemented with this promotion display. Impressive. Can’t wait to have it in my hands

sometimes i miss my 8 plus

When considering purchasing a new phone that you really don't need, it's a good idea to take your existing phone out of its case and admire it. Heck, get out the original box and remember what a thrill it was to unwrap it.

I do this with my 8 Plus from time to time. It's a beautiful phone and it works great. Why would I want a new one?

Learn to love what you have. The road of wants is paved only with more wants. It's also a circular road that leads, ultimately, back to you.

People are in for a rude awakening with the 120hrz battery life. Apple is quoting battery life with

exactly. Most dont realize the pro models have a inferior metal to the regular models. Stainless Steel is cheap. 316 or not. 7700 series aluminum cost 3 times as much per pound. Used by nasa to build space craft and has similar properties to titanium. Apples marketing team is one of the best. The 13 actually is physically the more premium device as far as materials are concerned. Those margins on the pro models are high.

Where’s is stainless steel cheap???????? Just to make a plate for my keyboard in ss was 1000 usd. Doing the same with 7000 aluminum was 200…

Maybe because i am a engineer and know exactly how these screens work. The manufacturer for the screens ( Samsung) have a algorithm for these screens and a SDK for development for the screens for the manufacturers who buy them. Apple is limited on what they can do through software. ?

Same. Marketing trick they use on the pro models and their use of cheap stainless steel over the regular models 7000 series aluminum. Which is superior. And cost three, almost four times as much. They make satellites and spacecraft out of it. 7000 series aluminum is very similar to titanium. You know the metal everyone is wishing on for the 14. They already have something similar available to them. But, marketing.

Its sold per pound. If you paid 1000usd I dont know what to tell you. A plate for your keyboard?

Stainless steel is almost 60% cheaper than 7000 series aluminum. It is considered a "cheap" metal.

Doubt it, A15 + iOS + bigger batteries = legendary battery life, we have nothing to worry about.
