It’s almost that time! With the Apple event happening tomorrow, we’ll use this mega thread to talk about expectations, predictions, and anything else related to the big event.
Tomorrow, we’ll have a live event thread to discuss each announcement as it happens.
“This is our biggest camera bump yet. We think you’re gonna love it.”
If it has USB C and a 10x optical zoom I’m almost guaranteed to swap from Android to Apple finally. Google’s BS around making ads part of DRM or whatever was the last straw.

I’ve heard that about the browser, and does give me pause. I use Firefox on all my devices these days. But GrapheneOS and the like are beyond my desire to try to make work and maintain.
As long as it makes my phone sit even LESS flat than before I’ll accept it.
thanks for starting this. first keynote on lemmy lol
is this purely a hardware release? or are we going to get talk of the EU-geolocked sideloading thing
I would not be surprised if Apple does not mention it, in any keynote, ever.
This sentence was overly hard to parse.
“I would be surprised if Apple ever mentions this in a keynote. “
I found the original way more beautifully written…
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
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.
Most people haven’t transferred data between their iPhone and a computer using a cable in how many years? And USB2.0 isn’t the reason they haven’t. It’s that iCloud syncing is vastly more user friendly and, quiet frankly, effortless.
I’m actually ok with Thunderbolt speeds being only for the Pro phones. That’s where it makes sense to upcharge for it.
Sorry there’s no way I’m paying the absurd Apple iCloud prices needed to host all my photos. I’m not willing to pay whatever exorbitant price Apple tries to ram down my throat for anything they decide I need to pay them for. I will continue to point out this blatant money grab.
I assume that the not pro iPhone will loose it’s port in the next 5 years completely.
[notifications to upgrade your iCloud storage intensifying]
🤣👌🏻
luckily, my dad pays for Apple One with 2 Tb
in 2060 the iphone will be the only piece of technology still using USB 2.0, a functioning reminder of the past

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.
I nominate @[email protected] for shitposter of the month. Their comments really made the event more entertaining
What’s the best place to watch this in VR with other people? Probably a niche question, but it might be fun.
Probably Big Screen. It’s multiplatform and free!
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.
What’s the event about? More vr headset info?
USB 3 support lmao. Such revolutionary tech.
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.
Did I miss it our did they not announce release dates for iOS 17 etc?
I didn’t notice it either. Maybe they don’t know at this point.
I’ll be upgrading whatever it is. Work is gonna pay for it and it’s easily my most used device.
Seems like the base model 15 has everything I want. Not sure how they’re going to sell the pro model this year.
But… double tap already exists through Accessibility. Or am I missing something?
It sounds just like Quick Actions, which can already be used separately from the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature…
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?
