mattfl posted:My series 4 is getting long in the tooth so it's time to upgrade! This is me too. I guess I'm in this to see what's new in the 8, but I'm also really open to seeing if the 7 gets some deep cuts if nothing really speaks to me about today's features. And honestly, when I say "long in the tooth" I think the S4 battery just stinks now. Everything else still feels pretty snappy and useful.

Inner Light posted:What do people use their watch for? I have my phone in front of me on my desk or with me on couch / in bed all day long. I have considered getting the iWatch just for running outside without my phone but that one single benefit isn't worth hundreds of bux for me. Fitness tracking, telling the time at a glance, media control, all daily use cases for me, but bar none the most used is ApplePay. Since the iPhone went to FaceID I have never once had a smooth payment experience, vs my watch which is always just ready. So a lot of overlap between phone and watch, except for payment. And for me it's 100% worth it.

So, was that it for features? I didn't really see anything that would push me to buy S8 over S7... Which is actually fine. I'm happy paying (hopefully) less for something I use few features of anyway.

I kind of missed the car crash thing. And I do ride a motorcycle. I wonder if that's been tuned for ragdolling soft bodies vs rigid car crashes. I could theoretically see wanting an S8 for that, I suppose.

This Ultra watch feels like it would be really useful if I was a much MUCH more interesting person. Tim: "We track your deep sea diving" Me: "Wow, that is SO useful!" *hasn't moved from couch for 7 hours straight*

799 is actually pretty OK but I for sure can't justify buying on based on "wow it's less expensive than I thought" when a 7 is probably fine for me

Everyone who's buying the Ultra, have you considered the surprise added expense of all the airline tickets and safari expeditions you'll need to pay for now that you're an Ultra haver?

I'm so annoyed that I can't wear in-ear sealing buds because of my hosed up ear canal shape making everything painful. Really wish the non-silicone-tip airpods would get some love :\ obviously wouldn't be able to noise cancel etc.

Man I'm living in the past. I'll coast to the 15 easy with my XS. If my XS had USB-C i would just use it until it literally refused to turn on.

All these camera improvements are amazing, I'm sure, but the weakest link will always be me pulling my phone out of my pocket and hastily thumbing the camera button before missing a blurry shot of the thing I wanted a photo of.

Why would I buy a 12 if I could have a 13 for the same price? I have to assume it's something like a high-storage SKU for 12 vs a lower end 13?

Bottom Liner posted:I've had an iPhone since the original launch and that was the worst keynote and least exciting update they've ever done. Just terrible. I'm really struggling to think of anything that has excited me on any iPhone since the X. I don't mean that they're bad phones, but I don't do much phone photography or video so it feels like every year is just "faster and camera better" which gets an "oh.. cool I guess" out of me at most.

SlowBloke posted:FUUUUCK the operating temperature for the new phones is 0 to 35C, they are going to melt in the summer. Well it’s certainly something that the ambient temperature of certain parts of the country are outside of the phone’s operating range. Certainly something… bad.
