I didn't expect the Apple Watch Ultra to be named like that.

What are the benefits over iPhone 13 for people outside the US who can’t use the satellite feature ? Think I’ll just get a 13 on sale

Crash detection, maybe?

Wow do these really ship with last year’s A15 chip? Why would you buy them over iPhone 13?

Conveniently you can't get a 13 Pro anymore on their website.

I find it interesting that I'm personally much more excited by their OS updates than the new phones. I wish the excitement was equal.

Of course they announce it today - I finally upgraded my iPhone X to a 13 Pro Max over the weekend :)

You have 14 days to return it.

13 mini would sound like a bargain!

Have they even dropped the price? They're £649 for the base model in the UK but I'm not sure how much they were yesterday. I was expecting around £100 off last year but apparently not.

So I guess the most important question is whether the iPhone 13 models will see a price drop soon?

If I recall correctly we are in the midst of a chip shortage.
