Twitter Hashflag for September 7 'Far Out' Event Now Live

[jamesrick80]

Looks like Apple again wants us to take pics or record video 24 hours a day, thanks for the features Apple, you really seem far away from being innovative. What's this potential astrophotography mess, no one needs this either and once again, it's the camera as a pseudo- motivator for this phone. I have a advanced telescope with photo taking capabilities, locator, gps and smartphone support so not needed!

Astrophotography will be the tent pole feature then. Wonder if it will be solely on the 14 Pro models, or be pushed for other iPhones as well.

 

[TVreporter]

Took me all day but I cracked it!

I already do astrophotography on my 13 Pro 😉 I shot in ProRAW mode by setting phone up and manually selecting night mode set for 30 seconds. I was happy to get Andromeda in the top image!

Apple Car certainly is “far out”

 

[chineseguy38]

Apple says it for us. "FAR OUT" iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods Pro are going to be very expensive.

Looking at a less blurry pic than the one MR posted, you can see many of those the points of light look like galaxies. That could mean astrophotograpy or it could mean something else (VR?).

With the energy pricing for heating, electricity and gas in Europe. Apple should not expect much sale there…just in Denmark the total cost have raised like 8000$ more a year for a family

It’s for the good of the world 😂

Far out refers to the chances Tim Apple allows everyone to work remote forever

 

[jjudson]

So they’re admitting that a functional Stage Manager will be “far out”…?

Like…

Next year?

Apple has pretty much sold the same phone since 2017.

You're not wrong, and aside from folding devices, so has everyone else when measured that way. Doesn't stop Apple from selling a ton of them though. Gotta had it to them, credit where credit is due.

Nice. Would be interesting to compare what a "real" astrophotography mode can do with a larger sensor and possibly shorter (?) exposure time?

 

[waloshin]

I am thinking maybe the new IPhone 14s will work with Starlink or another provider like Globalstar for a “satellite phone” features.

 

[FelixDerKater]

It doesn't seem like it has been a year already.

What a strange time we live in? We are going to get these iPhones to pretty much do the same thing we have been doing since at least the iPhone 4s. The 4s is when Apple introduced a decent enough camera on the iPhone that could replace your point and shoot; the App Store had matured enough, Instagram was around, but not as narcissistic as it is today. Sure, the pictures and videos are much sharper, but our routines have not deviated or changed significantly in the past 12 years.

The cracks are there and Apple knows it, but its keeping it together and finding what can help it move to the next consistent revenue stream; right now, thats services. Soon, the iPhone will go in that direction. Because with the current economy and just the state of world affairs, a new iPhone gives only a month or two of euphoria then we come right back to reality. I've said it many times on the forums, Apple has pretty much sold the same phone since 2017.

i.e.. They are milking the formula and hoping they find another eventually (if they ever do)

These events and the way they go about all this is so tired and unexciting anymore.

Far out…in the uncharted backwaters of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy, lies a small, unregarded, yellow sun. Orbiting this, at a distance of roughly 93-million miles, is an utterly insignificant blue-green planet, whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think Apple watches are a pretty neat idea.

I have one of those, too. It’s a 🤬 to drag out and set up. Which means we got it about 3 years ago and we’ve used it a grand total of…uh okay so we haven’t used it yet. It’s yet another thing we always mean to get around to and then are too tired or busy or don’t want to be bothered to do. Meanwhile, I got some gorgeous photos of the moon with my S22 Ultra.

I also got some really weird photos of a drunk lady carrying a blow up doll wearing a straw hat down on the beach last year with my s21 Ultra super zoom (while I was way far away from that mess). Try doing THAT with your fancy telescope, sir! 🤣

Interesting. Apple's hashflag for the events are nice.

 

[haunebu]

Please stop saying "hashflag." I don't know where MacRumors got that term. Twitter calls these "branded likes."

“Branded Likes”! Pass the barf bag.

 

[ErikGrim]

Releasing the second season of “Severance”.

Hasn't started filming yet

 

[Funny Apple Man]

Yeah a price increase is definitely going to happen. Those hashflags ain't cheap to make.

 

[jimmirehman]

Shoot for the stars, I guess….

Far out

I dont get the whole astrophotography need (assuming thats what this is connected to). The people that will use this in earnest will be in the absolute minority (and no doubt will have pro-level kit for this) - it just feels to me like the gimmick of gimmicks.

The wonders of the universe, lost on some.
