I remember reading it was building up to releasing a Tile-like product called AirTags for finding lost devices:

The whole 5G thing is just complete bullshit. After the tech has flopped pretty much worldwide and Verizon's and AT&T's "5G REMOTE SURGERY" and "RACE TO 5G" marketing bs didn't get consumers interested, they finally decided as a last resort to pay Apple and see if that will be enough to push this technology through.
disagree, sort of. The marketing was always shit, but the 2 big differences between LTE and 5G are latency and cell size. Cell size matters because there is a ceiling for how many devices an LTE cell can support in a certain range. Thats why you get crappy speeds/connectivity’s at concerts/events/crowded areas. As I understand it, 5g can support more devices per cell, and also can have smaller cells for more connecti…
These transitions are insane. The production quality is honestly fantastic. Apple has perfected the art of virtual keynotes.
it is hard at times to determine if the background you see is computer generated or not. I am not sure that difficult in distinction is a good trend
I always understood that for a telephoto lens you wanted the f-stop number to be higher, so that the image is clearer since the subject is at a greater distance. My gut instinct is that the iphone XS/XR lens might capture a sharper initial image, but maybe the final product won't be as good as the newer lens do to all the processing being done by the phone? Perhaps a bigger diameter on the telephoto lens is better for night mode shooting, so more light is being captured? Hoping someone more knowledgeable than I can weigh in. :)
"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…
Apple resisted phablets for years. When they finally released their first “plus” sized phone sales were through the roof. In absolute numbers there’s a good market for “mini” (or smaller) phones. But relatively speaking it’s a niche. The market has spoken! But fortunately the market is literally billions of smartphone users so there’s a lot of room for variety.
Bear in mind the 6+ was actually a bit under powered for its screen. While overall it was acceptably performant, mine noticeably lagged compared to a 6 in graphically intensive applications, so they did the transition just when they could get away with having both high resolution and acceptable performance.
It'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 pric…

who are the ads supposed to be targeted to? why should I, as a consumer care about 5g remote surgery? it's not like only at&t subscribers have access to remote surgery.
Finally time to replace my SE. Pretty happy with 4.5 years for a smartphone lifespan.
Yes, my touchscreen is behaving strangely now, and I had a battery replacement along the way, but I also got 4 years out of my SE

I quite like the return of the iPhone 4 exterior design style.
I'd say that's regressing yes? When you can't find the road to the future, retreat to the past. Re-live the glory days so to speak.
The 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.
With the new flat sides and smaller form factor, they basically just rereleased the iPhone 5 (with, I'll admit, a couple of new features)
