Curious to see what they cripple with usbc. And if they’re updating every lightning port product to usbc too. Be interesting if all phones will get the pill/dynamic island treatment. Hope it’s useful and not a gimmick when more apps support it
Most other Apple products already use USBC and have for a while. It's only the iPhone they've been dragging their feet on.
Except magic mouse, keyboard, trackpad and airpods. Did I miss something?
Airpods will have a USB C case announced
I think it will be hilarious to watch them continue forcing their phones to communicate with USB2.0 speeds even after the move to USB-C just so they can push more people to buy overpriced iCloud storage. It will be 2060 and we will still have USB 2.0 on our apple phones.
An interesting effect of unifying Mac and iPhone tech is that games ported to Mac need little work to be ported to iPhone.
Getting actual AAA games on iPhone is kinda cool but still seems very impractical. Mostly because if you can afford an iPhone 15 pro you can afford a game console, Mac/PC, etc.
Controls are definitely the limiting factor at this point. I've tried a few console and PC game ports via Apple Arcade recently, and they all run great but the touch controls are really clunky - especially when they try to emulate analogue sticks.
It's about time Apple took a stab at a games controller, leaving it to 3rd parties hasn't created enough momentum. An Apple take on a gaming pad would be interesting, especially with some sort of MagSafe iPhone mount. A controller also seems a natural expansion for the Vision Pro.
Did I miss it our did they not announce release dates for iOS 17 etc?
I nominate @cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca for shitposter of the month. Their comments really made the event more entertaining
Uhh. Who needs raytraced video games on their iPhone? I really doubt many mobile games are going to support and leverage that capability. If they do you would hard pressed to notice it on a phone screen.
I'm ready for a new iPhone. My XS needs an upgrade!
Same exact boat here. My xs has served me well but it’s time for an upgrade.
Seems like the base model 15 has everything I want. Not sure how they’re going to sell the pro model this year.
Guys, if you want your youtube channel to blow up right now, talk abou the event, be as clickbaity as you can
- "The iPhone 15 is a blast, I can't even look at my 14 Pro Max anymore!"
- "The iPhone 15 titanium at $2000, is it worth it?"
- "Apple keynote: One more-more thing"
"DO NOT buy an iPhone 15 before you watch this", thumbnail is a shocking face with mouth wide open, holding an iPhone and the HUGE texts "SHOCKING REVEALS. IS IT WORTH IT???"
Went on a vacation and my wife's 13 got run over by a truck and my 12 pro back glass shattered by falling on concrete. Now I'm fully ready for new phones. Hopefully one of my kidneys is enough.
Me reading on my iPhone X: people seem to have too much money..
I’ll be upgrading whatever it is. Work is gonna pay for it and it’s easily my most used device.
But.. double tap already exists through Accessibility. Or am I missing something?
USB 3 support lmao. Such revolutionary tech.
What’s the best place to watch this in VR with other people? Probably a niche question, but it might be fun.
Never before have I sern them recycle product cards from the year before. Looks like the Ultra 2 is like the new Apple TV 4K, very small update. Why not just skip a year?
That double tap ad was hilarious
Reminds me of the old wii ads
