It's an A14, not an A14X

A14 for low end iPads and iPhones , A14x for pro iPads and iPhones , A14z for Macs would be my guess.

I dunno but that game doesn't look that great...

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
Is that War Robots game as boring as it looked there?

Might replace my 2018 iPad Pro with a 2020 Air

It's just a dedicated PUBG Mobile machine now anyways.

Wouldn’t be an Apple event without a game developer talking about how the new hardware enables marginal graphical improvements for crappy mobile games I’ll never play.

It didn’t even look close to 20fps let alone the 60 the developer said it was.

Poverty spec ipad is still using lightning by the look of it, I would guess they go lightning for cheap ipad and cheap iphone 12 while going usb-c for the rest.

When does apple fitness + launch? I would bet a new Apple TV with that. Just add HDMI 2.1 and a new remote and call it a day.

So, iPhones, Apple Silicon MacBook(s), AirTags, and AirPods Studio next month?

Seems they could have put one or two of those for this event. Minor updates to the Apple Watch and iPad don’t really merit a special event IMO.

Curious here, what would you like to see the AppleTV add or do that it doesn't?

edit: A new remote WOULD be nice. I hate the current one so so much.

only reason I would think is the rumor that they are going to have a new iPhone range above the current ones called the iPhone Pro. I could see it getting a beefed up chip in it if its true.

I would bet an iPhone event next month but the Apple Silicon products get their own launch event later this year. They are going to really need to take their time to explain the benefits of Apple Silicon, show off benchmarks and really make a hard sell for these products to encourage people to make the switch.

I’m already paying $13/month for Spotify and 200GB iCloud.

So they want me to pay an extra $7/month to add Apple Arcade and Apple TV+ and have to switch from Spotify to Apple Music.
