Apple Pre-Event Mega Thread
(lemmy.world)
“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.
Posted from my Pixel 6 Pro....
If you don't use tap to pay and can muscle your way through documentation, GrapheneOS is easily installable on all relatively current Pixel devices. But yeah, I'm not a fan either and as long as I'm on Android, that might tip me back again to using Graphene instead of stock Android.
I thought of that and looked through the steps to do it and I'm pretty sure I'm past the age of me wanting to try. There was a day it would have been something I couldn't wait to do but I'm pretty sure I'm ~10 years past that day.

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
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?

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.

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.
Yeah, I hear ya. Both my kids have X’s which are losing support, plus they have a lot of physical damage. Time to upgrade our 13 Pro’s, so the kids can have those ….. depending on just how expensive this is going to be

My craziest prediction: iMessage for Android
That'd be great, but I don't think that's going to happen.
IIRC they openly stated in an interview that iMessage is one of people's greatest incentives to stick to the Apple ecosystem, and they have no plans of shooting themselves in the foot by releasing it on android.

Well, that is already possible with tools such as Matrix isn't it?

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.

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.
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???"

Seems like the base model 15 has everything I want. Not sure how they’re going to sell the pro model this year.

Don't really think there'll be much this time around for me to get personally hype about, but it's always fun seeing what they roll out.
