i clipped the 5 mins on apple intelligence here for those interested https://x.com/swyx/status/1833231875537850659 notes: - photos/album search now includes video understanding, which imo seems very good from the first 2 examples they showed. includes scroll to exact time of the moment you describe. - Mail and Notifications will show summaries instead of str[:x] - Siri now knows iPhone, becomes the ultimate manual on…
> "all done on device" and on cloud The real indicator for me is: how many of these features are not available in the EU due to privacy concerns. Do we know that?
Probably gonna upgrade from my iPhone 11 to a 16 Pro, seems like a good time to make the jump (also I'd need a battery replacement anyway and I rather spend that money on the new phone)
I was thinking the same for my 12 mini. Love the form factor but the battery life is just atrocious.
Smaller notch? Touch ID? Better battery life? Faster charging? Larger default storage? Nope, let's skip all that and spend most of the event talking about video recording. Is anyone here actually excited about the features they just announced? Or are people simply upgrading because they get the latest iPhone every year or two by default?
Do people have to "upgrade" constantly? Shouldn't the iPhone get at least a little bit better every year, even if no one "upgrades"? I often use my devices for years until they break in some way, and then I get a new one... is it really so wrong that the 2024 model is only better in ways you don't care about from the 2023 model?
Notably, only the pro models support USB 3. The base 16/16 plus are still on USB 2. This hasn't changed from the 15 lineup when they switched to USB-C.
what do you use that usb 3 speeds matter? The only thing ever plugged into my phones port is a charger.
also use it as a portable usb stick. when you are transfering stuff over 10gb, usb 3 is very very usefull.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Especially when the upgrade cadence is just one year. It’s not a PS5 or whatever. Like any evolution, the year over year changes shouldn’t be that drastic
I don't see much to upgrade to but, if I didn't get a iPhone 15 Pro I would have probably gotten this. The new camera button is interesting and the gestures are nice. Interesting to see all the rumors of a iPhone Slim / Air be nothing and I almost thought that they would do it on the Pro lineup.
The biggest innovation they could have at this point would be the price, but that will never happen.
Ehh. Lacklustre.
Just curious, what specifically were you hoping for - from a product that is 17-years old?
> “Powered by the faster, more efficient A18 Pro chip and built for Apple Intelligence, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are the most advanced iPhone models we’ve ever made,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. Thanks Greg, that's very helpful information.
I've always wondered what a VP of marketing does at a company that already has a de-facto monopoly on their biggest market as well as in the luxury segment worldwide. Come out once a year and say "we made this thing bigger and better"? Must be nice to get paid $25mil/year for that.
There’s a quote from the CEO of Coca-Cola I remember but can’t find a source for, about why they still spend so much on advertising. When a pilot gets to cruising altitude, he doesn’t shut down the engines.
