"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…

I was genuinely confused when it was in her hand. It looked like a regular-sized phone or even slightly bigger than one.

They had to find a huge guy with giant hands to show how "small" it was in the commercial segment following that part.

The League of Legends x Apple announcement is bigger than people might think. I 100 % believe that this is the start of a massive shift from pc/console to mobile which we have seen before in China. In fact, it is clear from this announcement that iPhone IS considered a console now for Riot. Huge stuff.

It's not the start of a massive shift. You'd be surprised what the gaming spending per platform breakdown looks like - phones are a MASSIVE chunk, and growing by far the fastest.

I don't have the numbers on me to back this up but maybe someone else can fetch them.

There 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.

They do have physical dual SIM for certain markets. Ex: China

Here's an iPhone 5 advertisement about that exact feature.

These transitions are insane. The production quality is honestly fantastic. Apple has perfected the art of virtual keynotes.

Maybe I'm being too negative but other parts of the production are throwing me off. The white balance is so cold and the profile photo style vignetting and background blur is so overbearing.

Its a great keynote but I would have preferred more subtlety in the production toys.
