Apple shares fell 1.71% after the announcement of iPhone 15 and 15 Plus https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/aapl?p=aapl The broader market rose. Advertising/hype-driven "tech" falls, real economy rises.

Computer prices should continue to fall as they have since the 1980's. Only Apple raises prices to prop up a business that has come to rely on irrational, cult-like behaviour.

Pretending to be ecologically-focused while at the same time trying to get people to "upgrade" is the height of hypocrisy. Back in the day Apple hardware was high quality and, IME, built to last. Today, the company is focused on convincing people to dispose of working computers and generate more electronic waste.

The stock price dropped more after this iPhone annoucement than it has after any iPhone announcement in the past.

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…

The Pro model being able to record video directly to an external USB-C stick/hard drive is such a killer feature for anyone doing content creation, and easily the biggest reason to pick the Pro over the base model. This is the first time an iPhone has ever had extendable storage like this. I’m surprised I haven’t seen it called out much everywhere.

Pepperidge Farm remembers microSD cards.

"killer feature"... get off my lawn!

A phone over 1,000 dollars only has usb2, which released two more decades ago. What a good product! Cheating money is as easy as drinking water!

All the true believers will pony up for the more expensive iPhone, because titanium or some other kool-aid.

>Only Apple can sell you a brand-new phone with last year’s chip and still convince you that you made a deal. I admit that the A16 is still at the top of the chips but you get the point. 1. You must have not realized that AMD does the same thing. They cover it up better because they rebadge it under a different sku, but it's still "last year's" microarchiecture and lithography process 2. Reusing last year's chip as a…

1. "A does the same thing as B. Don't you see how wrong you are?" How does this make B better than A? Your position literally makes no sense, and I am super duper not an Apple apologist.

If your phone is a year old then the only reasons to buy a new one are - you make a living developing software for that phone - you make a living writing about that phone - you are a hobbyist or enthusiast who loves phones and wants to spend disposable income on them

Please don't cross into personal attack and name-calling in HN threads. We're trying for the opposite here.

I may get accused of being an Apple fan for this, but this is why I dread USB-C. My lightening cables always charge and have data. Having to care about this is a pain.

If the iPhone or iPhone Pro could be connected to a USB-C dock with a keyboard, mouse and external monitor (or two) and display full fat MacOS; It would be the most impressive mobile device ever created. I could imagine companies issuing iPhones with MDM and corporate credentials preconfigured. As a developer, that would be a pretty cool workflow. I already ssh into a remote box to get faster development performance…

This is my dream computing experience. No laptop, no desktop, just your phone and you plop it on a dock with maybe an external SSD and GPU for games. I feel the cloud could even enable this to some degree but that feels kind of gross. It would be so cool to have something like this though.

Ubuntu Touch provides this convergence.

Kind of what DeX does for Samsung.

Or Ubuntu Touch (UBPorts).
