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 don't know man. This whole presentation felt weak to me regardless of how long it was.

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)

Mobile gaming is about 10x the size of the PC and console markets.

But how much % of these mobile gamers are using iPhones, I wonder.

AFAIK developing countries are dominating mobile gaming for a simple reason that they cannot afford PS/Xbone/PC. Ergo no iPhone for them to begin with.

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…

It's funny how they show USB-C as a giant leap forward while they were literally forced to use that port and were never interested in doing it otherwise. All that transfer speed bump they're now advertising with USB-C, would they admit that they were keeping their customers away from it just so that they could use their custom port and create an entire accessory ecosystem around it?

Apple where always good at lying err scratch that marketing i meant, snark fully intended. Steve sold many Apple inventions that actually came from other companies. Even accounting for his less than nice parts of his personality, he was still one of the best CEOs ever. Why? He thought about the products from the customer perspective.

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

They're probably 2-3 years from being able to run worthwhile LLM inference on device assuming they started a week after chatgpt dropped - and that's pushing the timelines. I'll be surprised if next year's pro can do it. I won't be surprised if the 2025 does. I'll be surprised if the 2026 doesn't.

Yup - finally ready to ditch the 2020 SE which, TBH, is still good enough except the battery's toast and has been for half a year at least. (Worry not though dear mr. Cook, I'll pass it down to one of my kids so the environment won't be hurting while the new toy shows me which gate my CO2-spewing flight departs from. ;))

Thankfully the EU has you covered there on the battery replacing front.

Curious what's going on with the stance of presenters? If you look carefully they all stand in a certain way, with a space between their feet that appears to be constant.

They all have the same coach that tells them it looks energetic. They also all have the same script writer, and they all *emphasize* *words* in the *same* *powerful* *exciting* *way*. I'm old enough to remember that Apple presentations, while being clearly marketing exercises, used to be a lot more organic and flowing.

That's back when they were live. The pre-recorded presentations are hideously overproduced mush with no excitement or soul.
