LionArcher posted:Look, a macrumors poster! The screen on the xR will in all likelihood be fine if not awesome, since most people don’t know what the hell they are talking about when it comes to screen quality, viewing distance and pixels online. You can cram all the hardware pixels you want, the system’s picture output is still locked to an equivalent-to-720 image. I love how my iPad Pro displays images more crisply than any other device I own. I wouldn’t want to take a step backward in that department, viewing distances be damned. At $750 I want a screen that’s as indistinguishable from paper as previous models.

I just use my phone for listening to podcasts taking photos of my kids and staring at twitter I don’t need it to gently caress my eyeballs.

Somewhat Heroic posted:What a huge wet fart, and I am typically a pretty unapologetic fanboy. Welp I guess I will go down to the apple store and buy whatever iPhone SE they have in stock to replace my busted one because no way in hell am I going back to the 6 form factor and at the cost of the "plebeian" XR. I don't need a phone that does everything my 5K iMac does you dummies! You will when they replace the MacBook with a phone+dock. Or better yet, a dummy $1000 laptop device that wirelessly connects to the phone in your pocket.

This thing that doesn't exist sounds neat. I suppose I am no longer becoming their target user. I went from the iPhone 6 to the SE purely because I missed having a smaller phone and found the SE did everything I wanted (long battery, great videos/photos). I never take a selfie so that didn't worry me. ApplePay works, touch ID worked. I even went from a larger iPad to a 4th gen iPad Mini and that is the best thing in the universe. I really do not want a phone rivaling the size of my iPad. Truly this is troubling times, Tim.

Is there any reason to get an XR over an X other than the A12? X gives you OLED screen, dual lens camera, and 3D Touuch (which I don’t use for anything except to turn on night shift and adjust flashlight intensity from command center but those are SUPER useful)

fourwood posted:Wtf was with the opening video that made a big deal about AirPods but then they never did anything about AirPods during the talk Can you just imagine a conference room where they show that excrement for an opening video to Steve for approval? It ends, and they all turn toward him with rapturous smiles like they've not just shat out the worst kind of turd. It was so cringe. Painful.

Please make this: - SE form factor - tiny bezels and Face ID - upgraded camera - “waterproof” - hopefully better battery life - a normal price e: - a12 - same wide angle camera as the others = Would sell like crazy IMO Xabi fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Sep 12, 2018 |

dumb idea: make an iphone with the SE form factor. great idea: make an iphone with the 4S form factor.

Wait so are they going to stop selling the SE or are they just not refreshing it? If they're getting rid of it I might actually pick one up.

Is it too much to ask to refresh the iPod Touch with some upgraded guts? They're still selling the same one from like 3-4 years ago and I need an upgrade... and I'm not laying out hundreds more for an iPhone with phone parts I don't need.

The Xr has LCD display instead of regular X OLED which might tie into the lack of 3D Touch. It's a different display altogether.

I'm not even a fan of that feature, but it seems weird for them to omit it on this model when all the others have it. Having an LCD display never seemed to restrict 3D Touch capability the last few years.

If Apple was less dumb they’d update the Touch mildly and then flog them hard at the education market. There’s a ton of classroom stuff where the iPad gets the crap kicked out of it by Chromebooks but something the size of the Touch would be perfect.

Ah yes, Steve “and here’s my friend Bono/Chris Martin to wrap up this keynote with a song” Jobs. Steve once wanted to give away some golden tickets in (I think) iPod boxes for tours of the Apple headquarters. He was literally gonna dress up like Willy Wonka and do this whole bit and the board had to like talk him out of it.

I don't mean this sarcastically, but does the new iOS actually let you mass-close notification without 3D Touch? Because not having that for my 5S is maddening.

So do bands work on the new Series 4 then? Also - do people actually buy just the watch itself (no strap). I'd quite like to hang onto my stainless link band when I sell my S2, which would mean either selling it sans band or buying one to go with it. Also lol @ UK prices.
