    the camera upgrades are absurd and will make life MUCH easier especially for laymen photographers.

    The new Watch is a pretty big disappointment this year. Relatively small to no updates.

    The 120hz display in the 13 Pro is a nice upgrade but it 100% should have been there last year. Expecting the camera upgrades to once again be an awesome.

    The new iPad mini is a really dope upgrade though and it's practically a bigger Pro Max with Pencil support at this point which's nice.

    Gonna grab a 13 mini and a Series 7 watch when those go up eventually. Been waiting awhile, I’ll be upgrading from an iPhone X (with a currently shattered screen) and a day 1 Series 3 watch.

    I wonder if the people who consider this an underwhelming upgrade have ever used a 120hz display. It's a game-changer and I'm excited for y'all iOS users :-p

    I use a 144hz and a 60hz display every day and I could not give less of a shit about it on my phone.

    Weird, when I switch off my adaptive refresh rate to 60hz on my phone, scrolling feels so choppy in comparison and looks weird when I glance at my fiance's XR. I feel like it's very noticeable and a worthy upgrade

    I'm not saying it's not noticable, like 144hz/120hz is super nice but I'm on my MacBook Air now and I'm not like suffering from the 60 lol

    I'm thinking of finally joining the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program. Does anyone here use it and have any thoughts both positive or negative about it? I used to do the T-Mobile Jump On Demand Program and loved it. I'm assuming it's pretty similar but just through Apple and not specific to a carrier?

    I saw that you could also divide the payments equally on your Apple Card. That is different from the upgrade program - right?

    I have an iPhone 11 Pro that is paid off and want to use as a trade in.

    I am sitting in front of a 144Hz and 60Hz display typing this and while I kinda dont care about it...Im interested to see how Apple does it on the phone. the iPad Pro's ProMotion is really nice.

    You would think that Apple would be cool with larger video sizes because it could push customers to pricier icloud plans

    I never in a million years thought the thing I’d be tempted by at this event would be an iPad mini but here we are

    Have the very strong urge to trade my iPad Pro for a purple mini…

    iPad Mini seems a bit redundant to me, unless you also have the iPhone Mini lol

    I get the point, but the taller aspect ratio in landscape and iPadOS would make it a much different user experience vs something like a 13 Pro Max, IMO. Not to mention that it will feel extremely light. They somehow made it slightly lighter than the previous iPad Mini.

    As a side note, the Mini is an incredible content consumption device in almost any situation.

    Wow, the leakers were way off on the colours, huh. That sierra blue is stunning.

    Of the new iPhone announcements I'm probably most interested in the battery life increase tbh, but curious to see real-world experience of whether it's actually a meaningful increase.

    The camera is now a DSLR killer for the majority of the market

    I don’t think I’ve ever bought a new release phone, are these gonna be hard to get for a while or are they usually pretty well stocked?

    I think it’s very interesting that they moved to this starlight color instead of silver. I like it.

    cannot decide between sierra blue and silver, ive had space grey / graphite phones for so long this is a big decision lol
     
  24. bobsheiskawy

    is it the same for you? Prestigious

    I was trying to decide if I could pull off the Sierra Blue, but will probably just get the Graphite. I wish I could just get another in the Midnight Green.

    The Series 7 Watch uses the same processor as the Series 6. Not that the Watch needs to be any faster at the moment, but it's telling they didn't mention a word about performance during the watch segment.

    My work gives me a $300 credit yearly for a health benefit. Trying to find a 44mm Cellular Series 6 for a decent discount after not being impressed with the new watch.
