#192Very impressive technology: With those 4GB per second download speeds I can use up my entire month of data in 250 milliseconds. On a more serious note: what technology advancements will there be in the next 10-20 years that actually make 5G technology useful?
It will become cheap enough (both hardware and subscription wise) that companies can include them in basically everything. That way you can't prevent your TV from uploading data to the mothership by not connecting it to wifi.
It's not a consumer technology.

#193LIDAR: Cheap enough for a $999 phone but too expensive for a $35,000 car.
You realize the lidar distance for a car would be entirely different. It's a way different beast.

#194The most disappointing aspect to me is that the difference between the Pro and the Pro Max is no longer just the size. I'm quite fond of the size of my 11 Pro and I don't really want to be upsold to the Pro Max if I want the best.
Hasn't it always been the case that the Pro Max has a better camera package?

#195MagSafe is sweet, and I think it's a smart move for Apple to launch it this year in preparation for the anticipated "portless" iPhone. By the time they do that, the MagSafe ecosystem will be ready for it, and people won't complain as much about getting the phone right on the charging pad.

#196Small phone! Finally!
Not as small as I would like, but I’ll take what I can get. I’ve been clinging to my 5SE for years and they stopped allowing me to renew Apple care a couple of months ago. :/
“a phone that easily fits in the palm of your hand” is a phrase I legitimately scoffed at, what are phones if not handheld devices?

#197They talk about 5G like it's a new and revolutionary thing. Is this US or iPhone specific? I am on 5G for almost a year now.
They even call shipping their phone without a charger revolutionary. It's Apple.
I laughed out loud at that. Explaining the deletion of the charger, which is effectively a price raise, through the environmental angle is genius-level marketing and margin improvement.
To be clear: I support the move and think Apple's environmental efforts are both sincere and meaningfully helpful. It's just the best, "aren't you happy we're raising prices!" I've ever seen :)

#198The 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 :)
Apple is tearing me apart between Mini’s size and Pro Max camera.
Yes... absolutely. I want a Pro Mini (Max).

#200I feel like I'm going insane. On every single model revealed today, there is a differently-colored patch on the right side of the phone, below the power button. What is it?
It's not the SIM card slot - that's on the left side. It's not a new TouchID sensor - the website doesn't even mention it at all. And yet it exists in every single render.
