Another useless button that will have accidental click and will leave you scratching your head when your camera roll is packed with black/blank pocket photos

Good god….I had to stop watching because she, her exaggerated facial expressions/eye movements (done to be “cute” but are the opposite) are super annoying (it’s not her fault….it’s the wanna be film director).

For me, in the EU we don’t really look at Apple intelligence because only the people that watch the event know abt it. For me the EU iPhone 16 will be the iPhone 17

Apple Watch 10 was the absolute highlight for me. Didn’t fix what wasn’t broken (the bands) and pure refinement across all models. So happy to have titanium replace the stainless steel- was on my wishlist since the Apple Watch Edition (here’s hoping we see white ceramic soon too 😉). While iPhone 16 Pro looks great, I love my 15 Pro and will hold onto it as long as I can cause I love it. 😊

They’ve told ya straight here mate, next year for some features. So blatantly- not finished till ’25. These things come out every year so then your waiting until they announce the specs for the new one? Battlefield v turned out to be in my opinion one of the best games of all time but i bet you certain party’s will feel pain if i mention release day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣…most telly’s (TV for the young) if not all.. Some people didn’t have a problem with cyberpunk on release day…others…crash/bang/wallop! Once the item is functional.
Its funny, I’ve never had an apple (can’t afford it) but knowing that your handset will be upgraded at any time with something like that wide angle flashlight business must be extremely exiting from the owners perspective?

As much as I want to upgrade from my iPhone 12 Pro Max, the lack of physical SIM is still my biggest barrier to doing so. I use an Android when I’m working, but I just pop my SIM card in the Android and I’m ready to go. I just upgraded my Pixel from a 6 Pro to a 9 Pro and it may become my main phone as my iPhone becomes more outdated. I was hoping e-SIM would be better by now, but AT&T won’t activate my unlocked Z Flip 6 and OnePlus Open with an e-SIM even though they both support e-SIM and work perfectly with the physical SIM card.

I am in need of a new iPhone, as my 11+ is beginning to be problematic. Therefore I will be upgrading to the 16 Pro but I am waiting until January 2025. Hopefully by then any bugs or issues will be worked out.

Apple is doing what so many video games do. Where they release a game and promise to make it better with updates and new maps, since at present it’s half-baked.

September 14, 2024 at 4:27 pm
I’m gonna look to upgrade because I’m coming from an iPhone 11/iPhone SE (2020), which is basically an iPhone 8. Going from that to the 16 will be so wild!

I’m keeping my iPhone X another year. All the AI stuff won’t be in place until the next iPhone, so might as well wait.

It’s time these companies start unveiling these phone every other year.
The upgrades are mediocre! First and last iPhone I’m buying

If the Airpods were what stole the show….was there much of a show to begin with? Yeah, cool. The Airpods4 got ANC but they’re still only 16bit audio. The AirpodsMax got USBc and new colors. Ooooh wow. And none of the things that people wanted…power button, no more mesh, maybe the H2 chip.
And no, the iPhone16 is garbage and NO ONE should upgrade to it. Either get the 15 or wait for the 17. Cause for maybe HALF of the 16’s life until the 17 comes out it’s gonna basically be a 15 with a camera button.
I would wait. Let them polish up this Apple Intelligence and get the 17. The 16 is a total ripoff. And if you just HAVE to get a new phone…get the 15.

WELL, WELL, WELL… Y’all made fun of ‘ol @elementneon’s “magic-eye” comment, but look who was right about the Airpods Max being in the event. *THIS* 👍 magic guy 😎😂.
Sure, it was a brief mention of color updates and the expected switch to usb-c, but it still counts!

After owning an iPhone since the release of the iPhone 3 I am ready to divorce myself from Apple. They can never get the firmware right and all of my experiences with Apple have eventually led to calls not being received, disappearing or not arriving messages, phone lockups, keyboard issues, and frankly crap battery life. Couple that with the rinse and repeat response from Apple on their deflection there does not exist a problem.

I was thinking about upgrading from the 15 pro Max to the 16 pro max for the bigger battery and the slightly bigger screen. The only reason it’s been a thought is because I use my phone heavy every day and it’s already on 88% battery health and next month makes one year. 😅 so I’ve been holding off to see the reviews for the battery life to see if it’s a better improvement. Also does any one else iPhone 15PM randomly gets hot after using certain apps it’s a little concerning and making me want to ditch this phone. Let me know if that’s a normal thing on the 15
