No, seriously... what kurds?!
Considering they mentioned the desktop as a target for Apple Arcade, I sure hope they have something resembling an AAA title from consoles and PC.

It's hopping through different resolutions over here, so there's something going on.

If no one can see, how the gently caress do you even know your baby is looking at something?

Yeah, that best selling laptop probably costs a fraction of that iPad, too.

Meant laptop. Not sure, but it looked rather cheap.

You can only listen to music on the go with an Apple Watch.

OK, now let's hear if there's actually some innovative poo poo with that health monitoring with the upcoming devices. Only thing of interest for me.

Yeah, please don't go into details with examples about a few upcoming research topics.

--edit: It's like that Cardiogram poo poo. All that woowoo about deep learning about heart health, and effectively, they don't tell you poo poo regarding your data.

All these comparisons and charts only mentioning the XR, I guess there's indeed a Pro range.

The Pro range will probably come with a hefty price hike. Because Proooooooooo.

The high framerate in combination with the large depth of field makes it look like crap.

Yikes, 1160€ for the 11 Pro here in Europe.

So I was sort of considering going with the iPhone because of a bunch of situations where I've been sick with fiddling around, or it getting more or less implied that it works best with iOS (random third party services and hardware). And I'd prefer to keep an OLED display. Because of the gadget whore I am, I also want the recent model. This'd leave me with the nearly 1200€ model. Now after a shower(thought), with the exception of Face ID and some SoC internals, with a bit of eye squinting, the current S10 of mine has hardware wise pretty much the same as that 11 Pro (same display manufacturer, same camera supplier, both have triple cameras, both have premium glass backs, etc blah blah, not sure how much a difference aluminium vs. steel frame would make), at nearly 300€ less back when I got it right on release, even less if you count the free Galaxy Buds that came with them. And 128GB instead of 64GB. The rest of the difference is largely software, and I'm not sure whether it's worth the 400€ delta, nevermind the total cost of jumping ship.

Maybe next year. It's eventually going to happen, tho.

Expected sort of a surprise new sensor for the watch, but I guess not. The health research crap was pretty wishy-washy. Pretty much like Cardiogram, lots of big talk on the blog about machine learning, but after years of being available, they still don't give you any info, not even just tentatively (because Eff Dee Aye, or whatever the gently caress).

Shout out to apple getting on that type-c for the PRO. Still lightning on one side, but it's the right step.
I don't think it's going to change any time soon on the phones, because of existing accessories.
