Where's the removable battery? Is that not coming until next iPhone? What about third-party app stores? Love to see their walled garden come crashing down.
The law about third-party app stores will become effective in spring 2024. According to rumors, Apple will limit it to EU customers though.
I miss Jobs. These prerecorded presentations are soulless and almost embarrassing at times. Happy to see USB-C on the iPhone (thanks EU) and no price hikes.
The linked website looks like something from a company that knows they don't even have to try at all and they're guaranteed to sell more phones than any other company in the world, and it shows. And, yet, ~20% of the population will see this news release, and talk about how clean the lines are, and how perfectly worded every sentence is, as if it was handed to us from God himself on stone tablets. Cultism is a very i…

Honestly for me the best part is the USB-C. Every year it's a new camera, new whatever, but USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables. Not increasing the price is nice, I guess. Will have to buy more USB-C cables, though. (Technically the low highest end phone is higher, but higher spec, too). It comes with one USB-C to USB-C charging cable - not sure if it is a data cable, also. Pre-order Fr…

I think the need for a special presentation for yearly iterative updates to a phone and watch is pretty minimal these days. Just put out a press release
> USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables Bought a Motorola G6 in 2018 for €199. It takes "fantastic" photos, and came in a "stunning new" (!?) color of black(ish). It's pretty much indestructible, runs Firefox with uBlock Origin, and it's "better for the environment" because every year you don't buy a new phone, the environment is happy. It also has USB-C, and a 3.5 jack.
Android is notorious for aging out phones much faster than Apple. You could use 8+ year old phones with the latest security updates up until very recently.
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 have recently been led to believe that people eat so much beef that so a ton of potential cow hide goes to waste instead of being turned into leather because there isn't enough demand for leather (compared to beef). Is this true or false? If it's true - then how is leather bad for the environment? I don't eat beef - but it's interesting to me how many people eat hamburgers and then look at someone with a leather ba…
Super sad new OS versions were not released
I can't understand why they invest so much in gaming. Gaming on such small devices is too uncomfortable, both for your eyes and your posture. In addition, with cloud gaming you can basically run any PC/Console game on any device provided a good-enough connection (eg. Nvidia NOW, Xbox cloud gaming etc)
