I really don’t like the idea of a touch keyboard at all. The physical keys help you orient your hands with the textile feel so you don’t have to look at them while typing. This is the same reason I didn’t like that the touchbar replaced the F keys. I didn’t mind the touchbar idea, but it shouldn’t have been a replacement for the function keys but added on in addition to them!
Got a tip for us?

The day of the Apple dog and pony show tells us the following Friday is usually preorder day....
IX=9, III=3. roman numbers. common knowledge...🤣. Left the school to early?
I had a Lenovo w/ that kind of Keyboard. It's a perfect thing to use.
That would be too, not to.
It does look a bit confusing, but it two diff numbers. 9 on the left IX and 3 on the right III.
Blackberry users hated the idea of a touch screen based iPhone, and now it is the norm. I suspect the same will be true. Imagine all the different ways you can interact with the keys if they could morph into anything.
I can touch-type 90-100 wpm on a real keyboard..it's not even close on a glass slab, and I type a lot. I do not want a full keyboard where I need to use my eyes to set my fingers.
No thank you. I need tactile keys.
Oh my giddy aunt, I hope the presenters aren't so "excited" this time. Last keynote was interminable... It's just computers'n'stuff, not your first-born child 😀

As shown on the watch face, it should have a space between IX and III because they represent the 9 and 3 positions on a watch face.
If it were a real Roman numeral, it would have a bar or line (vinculum) over the IX and would be read as 9,003. The vinculum means "x 1,000".
man, is unbelieveable that here we are again for another apple event but honestly, i personally couple years ago i've been forcing myself to get excited for new apple products.... i used to buy new iphones every year and since iphone XSM i've been upgrading every 2 years, i have now the iphone 14 PM and what a dissapointment.
i am cosidering now moving to samsung but we'll see.
i would say wait for the revamp watch X when it comes out.
from what i heard, they kinda adjust it on iOS 17 but the HDR still process the photo, not as aggressive as what we currently see now. Me personally, this is why i wanna move to samsung galaxy S24 ultra and give samsung a chance, my brother currently own the Samsung GS23U and the camera is amazing.
Perhaps this part of Apple's marketplace has become too repetitive. You'll probably feel the same way with Samsung after so long. It was predicted about 5 years ago that smart phones have more or less reached the peak of consumer appreciation. Only specific hardware features matters, like a bigger phone using higher capacity battery. The transition to 5G has happened, even that last got to have it feature, satellite SOS will now be more commonplace. These days people are looking for some break out software feature or app instead that runs on their smartphones OS. Replacing the hardware is unneeded, except for bragging rights or your phone is just old now, needs a replacement. For people discussing what the iPhone 15 series offers over the iPhones 14 Pro Max, it's really down to stuff you can live without or not, unless that telephoto lens is just too invaluable.
You Are absolutely right man, i think we (me, myself and i) are waiting for the next big thing but you're right; i believe the this giant techs have already reached a peak where us the consumers also have what we need already in the palm of our hands. When and what could possibly be the next breakthrough????? that's the exact multi million dollar question.Perhaps this part of Apple's marketplace has become too repetitive.

Apple does like to push its eco stuff on us whenever it gets the chance. Nothing is more eco than NOT MAKING a unit!
I have been so busy working on my house that I completely missed the news on the black Ultra. Nice! But can we get another color for the button? That bland orange will match neither my beard nor my eyes.
Clever. But I’m made of questions. Do you represent the 9 and 3 sideways, or do you just keep everything oriented up/down?
I skipped my Roman Math 101 and 201 classes. Since they were not required for computer programming, I elected to take regular algebra and regular trigonometry rather than the Roman equivalents. I just wish my school offered binary and hexadecimal mathematics. Those would have surely come in handy, particularly when reading core dumps and looking for coding bugs!
Might be time to upgrade from the 11 Pro Max and Watch S4 Nike edition. I take my watch off around 330am and it'll be dead by 3pm. Phone has 75% battery health as well.
Man, I cannot wait to upgrade. Won't have to worry about chargers anymore sharing between myself and my girlfriend.
Anyone seen that wallpaper in the article by chance? Looks amazing!

Went from waiting 2 years for 3nm AS chip to not caring at all bc the modern disposable mac is a non-starter. There hasnt been a new idea for the iphone in a decade, they still apparently have no idea what people want to do with tablets, and the apple vision prob has no future if all it really is is an ios goggle & they have to price it at 7x the competitions similar.
Perhaps Apple will become a company I buy a watch from every decade. Idk anymore.
