I was waiting for “one more thing” to show a new LLM powered Siri. I am disappointed

Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#63Honestly 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…
> but USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables.
that's something i never cared about. whether i carry 1 usbc and 1 lightning or 2 usbc, it's still 2 cables.

#64Super sad new OS versions were not released
They are always released ~one week after the event. (date appears to be September 18th, so 6 days)

#65These presentations look like something straight out of some dystopian corporate hellscape fiction.
I wish Apple would return to pre-COVID live keynotes. But that would mean demos would fail, wifi networks would be crowded, audible boos and gasps from price announcements. Yeah, Apple isn't going back anytime soon.

#66Am I wrong or is iPhone 15 usb-c is usb2 just with a different connector. Seems to me like only the pro is getting usb3 even though usb3 was first released in like 2008. Update: confirmed in iPhone specs page.
And pro should be usb4

#67IMO, 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 wonder how much worse accidental UI interactions will be due to smaller bezels. I alredy despise phones that I have to pick up _really_ carefully not to engage some completely unwanted gesture.

#68I'll need to buy new AirPods too, unless I want to carry a lightning cable around too. Or just always use wireless charging with them.
Don't forget you can now plug your airpods into the phone instead of needing a charger.

#69The article reads like an ad.
Press releases are a good way to advertise your products.

#70> Honestly for me the best part is the USB-C. Some people predicted that new iPhone will be completely portless and allow wireless charging only, just to not having to support USB-C out of spite. I guess we'll need to wait a year or two more.
I don't know about spite — I feel like they were holding off on moving the iPhone to USB-C for so long precisely because they had already planned on going portless "soon", and it would have been silly to do two of these "brave" transitions in quick succession.
