Really hoping for an ARM macbook today
Not very likely, they will want to reserve a seperate announcement for the new Apple Silicon Macs - probably more than one.

#82Earlier quoted context omitted.
When your business model revolves around marketing and aesthetics, you need to put the extra effort. You can tell Apple's target demographic isn't enterprise markets at every turn.
One could argue that a company like Stripe's target demographic is _precisely_ the enterprise markets; yet, their product pages are slick af! Smooth scrolling, animations and all that jazz. Because they're made up of folks who love JavaScript (and animations, of course) Apple's marketing team is similar. They're probably a bunch of people who _love_ making videos; probably studied film or art or spent a ton of time o…
Data point of one:
Stripe got my business years ago because of the API (compared to the CyberSource merchant API at the time) and the competitive rates.
The pretty UI on their site had precisely zero bearing on the decision.

#84Hold on: Minor detail, but in the video showing off what iPhone 12 could do, the share icon was from iOS 12 and earlier?

#85"The iPhone mini fits in the palm of you hand" lol.
It's interesting that a reasonably sized phone is now a selling point in itself.
In general i like keeping my devices for as long as possible - so when i jumped from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 10, i was surprised to learn that the phone was hard to use with one hand now, extremely slippery and way, way heavier than my iphone 6.
The mini seems like a good size for me. The Pro 12 looks absolutely amazing though! I usually don't fanboy but goddamn their product design is stellar.

#86I wonder what the environmental impact of all the new adaptors that customers will need to buy is.

#87There are two reasons I haven't switched over from Android. I wish Apple would try and fix them: * The lack of a way to move Whatsapp messages between platforms. (They'd just need to allow Whatsapp to use Google Drive for backup on iOS) * The lack of (physical) dual-SIM.
I don’t see them investing in physical dual sim when the future is e-SIM.

#88If the probability of surviving a drop has been quadrupled, then it must have been less than 1/4 for the last generations.

#89They just announced that the iPhone 12 will ship only with a lightning to USB-C cable. I don't understand why they don't switch from lightning to USB-C despite already using it on the iPads.
At Apple’s scale, a decision like that has really big implications that from a single-user perspective aren’t that obvious.
Not only do you bifurcate your entire product line and supply chain, your customers are not just individuals, but families. Think about a family who has one new phone that now won’t work with any of the chargers the rest of the family uses.
On top of that, the new connector type won’t be compatible with any of the pre-existing “infrastructure”. While that might not be a big deal for some single users, it could be a major issue for others.
