That whole presentation could have been 30 minutes shorter. It's a product announcement not an investors meeting. Show me the products. Make a sustainability PR as a separate piece. Get your name in the news twice. Seems strange
No one would watch the "Apple's getting rid of leather" video. And it would have seemed weak if their announcement was half the typical duration, signaling that there's not much new here.
I am absolutely baffled that Apple (and others) haven't updated their smart assistants with a competitive LLM. With Apple's privacy shtick and their mobile GPU efficiency, I was convinced we'd see something today. What am I missing?
I really hope that when they release something, the responses will be 5% of the endless stream of words ChatGPT & others produce.
USB 2.0 on the 15 is kind of a joke considering it came out in April of 2000. 60hz, USB 2.0, getting a bit dated. I know a bunch of people will excuse it but at that price I think it's not ideal. Oh and RIP 13 Mini, you'll be my phone until I can't use it anymore I suppose.
Though to put this in a realistic context, I am curious what percentage of iPhones have ever, over their usage lifespan, made a data connection over USB. I suspect that percentage is low single-digit percentages, and -- again speculating -- I would wager they are almost always by users with the pro models.
Is it lame that it's USB 2.0? Yes. Will it matter at all for the overwhelming majority of users? Not in the slightest.
I’d really get a lot of use out of 4 or 6x.
I also wish they’d stop editing the pictures so much. It’s decided I should have gray hair even though I don’t in real life. Really strange.
Oh and it destroys sunset photos. I get completely different colors than I see with my eyes for sunsets.
IMO, this was a pretty weak announcement. They spent so long talking about environmental stuff, like getting rid of leather, that it felt like they were trying to pad the presentation to reach a reasonable length. There were a few new things (more optical zoom, slightly smaller bezels), but these were all leaked in advance. I was also disappointed to hear that the satellite stuff is limited to 2 years. Is it going to…
I didn't see the announcement, but I saw this blurb on Engadget: > The company noted that while leather is popular for things like watch straps, it has a serious impact on the environment, particularly at Apple's scale. Is that actually true? I remember reading a few years ago that there was actually a big glut of leather: people still eat steak and hamburgers, and without a market for the cow hides then that materia…
I will buy it though. Gotta get rid of my Iphone 7. Time has come

In few years full reverse, cleaning up the planet while supporting free range happy lives of cows. Really, who actually buys this in-your-face bullshit? There are proper technical improvements to talk about.
USB 2.0 on a 1000$ phone in 2023 is a bad joke. Boring update, both this and the pro but of course it will sell millions.
