No matter how much they tout the video and picture quality, it's still behind DSLR and pro's can't use it until it beats DSLR at it's own game. LIDAR was interesting but I only see very limited use case for it.

#152It's the annual incremental improvement, and many will like the smaller form factor too I'm guessing.
But the whole 5G hype is lost on me. Specifically, none of the carriers or handset makers are telling me how much the data will cost. Maybe I'm a little price-focused, but that determines for me whether I'm excited about it.
If I'm just burning through my existing data limit faster, what's the point? What's the pricing of this new data capability?

#153They 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 compati…
They have to bite the bullet at some point

#154Apple makes the best phones hands down but my only problem is with iOS. Granted it's been more and more "Androidesque" as of late but still.

#155The mini is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. Fans of smaller phones everywhere are rejoicing. I just wish they’d give iPad the same treatment and make a Pro in a Mini size :)
I honestly can't wait to buy it. I'm so tired of my 6.7" phone.
I agree. I think it will sell like hotcakes.
I use an iPod Touch (smaller than the Mini) as my "low-end" test device.
Whenever I'm using it, I feel envious, as my regular phone is an XSMax.

#157Very powerful upgrade. You could use this latest iPhone to control a spacecraft that takes you to the lunar surface and back.

#158It felt more like Verizon 5G event than Apple event.
I wonder how much they paid Apple for this?

#160The 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.
The rule of thumb when it comes to sizing gaming audiences is:
- Mobile: Billions
- Console: 100s of millions
- PC: 10s of millions
In other words, a decent mobile game (not Fortnite or LoL, but something like Among Us) can get 100s of millions of users, a good console game can sells 10s of millions of copies and a PC game can sell millions of copies.
