Tim Cook Teases an 'Apple Launch' Next Wednesday

[Pug72]

I dunno… when they did the “Week of Mac” it was also a bunch of shorter videos.

The store hasn’t gone down yet either. I’m betting on a 10 AM Pacific time release (7 pm CET).

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 launched at 3pm UK recently, 7am PST. Maybe similar. 🤷🏻

Would be nice if they gave us a time

It's most likely 7 pm CET. Maybe we'll get a short video for the release. Fingers crossed for an update to the Apple Vision Pro.

The top line feature (Apple modem) is a feature for Apple's bottom line, not the customers

Or both as apparently their new modem will have lower power consumption due to better integration with Apple processors, more efficient cell service scanning, enhanced satellite connectivity, etc.

I'm all for it if that's true!

I guess this model will be the guinea pig model to see if it's worthy of being in the "real iPhones" this coming year

(I say the "real" iPhones meaning the ones that drive the "real" revenue numbers)

Welp iPhone 16e

Not so good last time even though intel. Sure they thought then and now have ready to go.

iCoin!

Seriously though, it's a 16E at $599.
(No no, Apple didn't raise the price of the SE. Apple launched a cheaper iPhone 16! Revolutionary! *cough*)

Nailed it! 🤷‍♂️😁
Knew they would they would take the opportunity to raise the base price substantially by using another name.

But, like I said in another thread. This is like the XR 2.0.
XR had the latest chip, Intel modem, single camera, 6,1 with notch etc.. and was pretty much the same price.
If you add inflation this is much cheaper than the XR was.
I think I paid 24900 THB for the XR, this new one is 22900.

 

[WLS]

disappointing. Only black or white no red. No magsafe either. No dynamic island. only 800 nits brightness. No wide band chip. Not for me.

 

[revfife]

Such a non event launch event. Should have just sent a press release email.

 

[Downundermac]

It’s official. Tim Cook is a dad.

He’s been there since 98 so had quite a few kids!

 

[Lioness~]

If it's anything remotely interesting announced, it's up here minutes afterwards.
I don't need anything from Apple now, so I just save myself time, and the time watching Tim's all ticks.
