[livid wolf]

no they're talking about it now

WOAH

USB-C CONFIRMED

[compact sentinel]

huge if true

[brittle stratus]

i already told you this lol

[cobalt edge]

They played it off like they arent forced to

[cedar skiff]

Could’ve done this years ago you cunts

But sure

[brittle stratus]

[halcyon trail]

we knew this a year ago though lol

[tall rain]

Tim Apple

[cedar skiff]

Literally nothing was stopping you from doing this 5 years ago

Stop claiming this as a win

[cobalt edge]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-looney-tunes-cash-money-counting-money-gif-17544086

What the fuck is mag safe?

Am i out of the loop?

[halcyon trail]

yes

[cedar skiff]

Yeah it was introduced in the iPhone 12

[cobalt edge]

It happens

[cedar skiff]

Ring of magnets in the back of the phone that let you line up a wireless charger perfectly

[compact sentinel]

magsafe is pretty cool

[sleek torrent]

Love my magsafe car mounts

[cedar skiff]

And for other things that you would to attach to the back of your phone

[compact sentinel]

Still 60Hz

[steady harness]

Shit, really?

[cobalt edge]

So in other words its a magnet?

[sleek torrent]

I also have a offbrand magnet wallet that I attach my dongle dac to which is nice

[cedar skiff]

Unless they’ve got buttloads of old stock that they stopped selling for a year but started again recently

[cobalt edge]

799 and 899 aint bad

[sleek torrent]

strong magnets built into the phone yeah. You can just use a sticker and add it to another phone

And use the same mounts

[cobalt edge]

Neat, til

[sleek torrent]

But it's nice to have it snap into whatever you're putting it on

[cedar skiff]

God I’m going to have to explain the difference between lightning and usb-c to so many customers and I don’t fucking want to

[cobalt edge]

Didnt know you worked in a store

[scenic surge]

Lel.

[halcyon trail]

love the titanium look

[cedar skiff]

Yeah I work retail

[scenic surge]

"look, it's just a different cable Pamela."

I bet y'all are gonna get yelled at because you guys made people pay $25+ a cable.

[halcyon trail]

a shark?

[scenic surge]

For the old iPhone.

[latent depot]

TITANIUM

[fossil depot]

what???

[brittle stratus]

Titanium

[fossil depot]

its still lightning

[cobalt edge]

Apple transistions are so fucking good

[cedar skiff]

The pro? @fossil depot

[cobalt edge]

hm?

[compact fiber]

pretty shit imo

the camera bump looks huge

[cobalt edge]

Yea, that shit looks massive

[scenic surge]

Apple elites are prob frowning. Isn't USB c slower for data xfer?

[steady harness]

Agony

Pure, agony

[cobalt edge]

Not that i heard

[fossil depot]

looks like usb c isnt there

[compact fiber]

still no fingerprint reader and yet its supppsed to be a "pro" modle

[fossil depot]

maybe only eu?

[compact fiber]

useless

[cedar skiff]

Lightning on iPhones has never been faster than USB 2

[scenic surge]

Noted

[cobalt edge]

Nah, they mentioned usbc all round. Why are you thinking lightning? @fossil depot

[compact fiber]

usbc is 10x faster

but apple beign apple

[fossil depot]

oh i thought it looked like lightning on the image

[compact fiber]

iirc its going to be limited both chargin speed and transfer speed unless you use one of their cabels

[cedar skiff]

No it’s not

[scenic surge]

I bet they catch a lawsuit over the cable thing.

[cedar skiff]

USB-C is a connector

[cobalt edge]

Lighting and c looks similar /shrug

[fossil depot]

is 15 pro only titanium?

like are you forced to buy that useless shit

[compact fiber]

yes it is lul

[cobalt edge]

All 15 i believe

[compact sentinel]

We found new ways to add a higher price tag to it!

[brittle stratus]

that's what the case seems to be

[fossil depot]

thats stupid bruh

[cedar skiff]

USB-C can be 480 Mbps, and USB-C can be 120 Gbps, and USB-C can be many speeds in between @compact fiber

USB-C is not one single speed

[compact fiber]

yea but overall its faster

[cedar skiff]

No

[scenic surge]

The iPhone 16 will have both connections.

[cedar skiff]

It’s a connector

[compact sentinel]

No.

[compact fiber]

shutup

[cedar skiff]

JUST a connector

Don’t be wrong and I will

[compact fiber]

USB C is a connector with a standard

[compact sentinel]

USBC is a just a connector, the speed is up to the protocol

[cobalt edge]

Well, USB C does have a spec

[cedar skiff]

And allow yourself to be corrected

[scenic surge]

It's a "feature."

[wild hatch]

overall it doesn't have a "speed" as such, it's just a connector
but yeah i get what you mean

[compact fiber]

Its not just a connnector

its a standard lmao

[scenic surge]

It transfers data.

[compact fiber]

it has standard speeds which if they use anythign new it will be pretty much 5x or 10x faster

[cedar skiff]

If you mean USB 3.2 gen 1x1 is faster than USB 2 Lightning, then say that

[steady harness]

~~time for usb 2.0 type c ~~

[fossil depot]

iphone 16 will be made out of tin and aluminum and 16 pro will be made out of pure diamond

[cedar skiff]

Duh

[fossil depot]

action button?

[wild hatch]

so they've added another button..

[karmic egret]

You appear to not know about usb....

[wild hatch]

after removing the one on the screen

[fossil depot]

action button options

[wild hatch]

watch them take it away again later for a "streamlined design"

[cedar skiff]

So like, why isn’t this button on the 15? Feels like it’d be cheaper than the switch

[cobalt edge]

Honestly, nice feature.

[cedar skiff]

Purely segregation for the sake of it, I guess

[steady harness]

forcefield icon looks great

[sleek torrent]

Always

[fossil depot]

15 pro price guesses?

[steady harness]

too much

[fossil depot]

or did they already say

[compact sentinel]

lol Samsung's side button customization got copied

[wild hatch]

1200$?

[compact fiber]

USB has a bunch of standards, with each standard reachign certain speeds. IF apple uses anything new it should still be way faster then their lighting cables. ITs not likes it rocket science. its a standard. IF apple wants to make their own standard fine but they are using USB standard which apply a 5gbps or 10gpbs with any new usb-c ports

[sleek torrent]

oooh standby will be nice

[fossil depot]

$1500

[karmic egret]

But it sucks on Samsung lol

[cedar skiff]

Yeah but Samsung got bullied into it because people hated bixby

[compact sentinel]

Yeah lol

[cobalt edge]

1400 sounds right

[cedar skiff]

Apple, the fuck are you doing

[compact fiber]

it also got removed

[karmic egret]

But it's usb c not a standard....

[fossil depot]

lmao what

[compact sentinel]

one of the default actions for the Assmung button is ... Samsung Pay

[cedar skiff]

Why is this called A17 Pro

Don’t do this

You can take it back

Change your minds

[latent depot]

3NM??!?

[cobalt edge]

Okay but i know for a fact this is some random lab

[karmic egret]

No

[cobalt edge]

There is no work getting done in there

[compact fiber]

the button got removed lmao

[karmic egret]

I'm looking at it

[sleek torrent]

So they can make a reg A17 for low end ipad first, then use it in next year's reg iPhone

[compact fiber]

you can customize the power button to do some shortcuts but overall its got removed

mainly bc most people leave the button to open camera

[karmic egret]

I'm looking at it.

[cedar skiff]

A17 is not going into a low end iPad for years. It might go into an Air or Mini at best

[sleek torrent]

I would love a new Mini

[cobalt edge]

Im a fan of their regular sizes

[cedar skiff]

Typing more accurately with autocorrect? Will apple finally let people say fuck?

[steady harness]

duck

[fossil depot]

thats kinda sick

[cobalt edge]

ducking

[karmic egret]

Tuck

[cedar skiff]

Holy shit USB 3

[sleek torrent]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[wild hatch]

lool

[fossil depot]

NO WAY

10 gbps!!!!

[karmic egret]

Optional cable lol

And 3 doesn't exist....

[compact fiber]

Have to use certified cables tho

[compact sentinel]

"Pro class"

[cedar skiff]

I would like to point out they could have had USB 3.0 like a decade ago. Lightning already supported it

[compact sentinel]

You are making a fucking PHONE

[compact fiber]

its apple like they would do that

[compact sentinel]

I repeat: a fucking phone

[wild hatch]

"three things"
lists four things

[compact fiber]

apple makes thigns harder

[cedar skiff]

Nothing was stopping them from adding USB 3 a loooong time ago

[steady harness]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-looney-tunes-cash-money-counting-money-gif-17544086

[karmic egret]

Usb 3 not being a standard?

[cedar skiff]

RAYTRACING

[halcyon trail]

ray tracing!!

[steady harness]

RAYTRACING

[cedar skiff]

pogchamp

[wild hatch]

which "USB 3" are they on about anyway...

[steady harness]

GAMINGGGGGG

[cedar skiff]

10Gbps

[compact sentinel]

...they are the same picture mate

[compact fiber]

money was not stoping them

[cobalt edge]

Whatever is latest spec i suppose

[steady harness]

What, making more money and not having to change anything?

[fossil depot]

RTX ITS ON!!!!!!!!!

[halcyon trail]

This phone is better than my PC!! lol

[cobalt edge]

Did they talk about macs yet?

[fossil depot]

upscaling? lol

[cobalt edge]

Or just watch and phone?

[sleek torrent]

Macs was previous event

[cedar skiff]

?

Apple?

U OK?

[karmic egret]

Lol

[compact fiber]

"iphoen best mobile gaming platform" just fix it so game updates happen faster on iphone then ill be happy

[cobalt edge]

Am i tripping here

[wild hatch]

lol

[cedar skiff]

According to one specific definition of mobile gaming platform, sure I guess

[karmic egret]

What are you even talking about.

[cedar skiff]

But also the steam deck and ally and switch and a bunch of aya neos all exist

[compact fiber]

it takes forever for apple to apply updates to apps

[compact sentinel]

LOL this is made by Tencent, btw.

[karmic egret]

What?

[wild hatch]

haha

[compact fiber]

Say i play X game on my samsung and my mom plays the same game on her iphone. I will always get the new update ot the game faster then my mom will. Idk why but its always been like that

take apple a while to publish the update

[jovial phoenix]

re4????????

[sleek torrent]

Man developers are gonna make bank selling rereleases of games on app store

[cedar skiff]

Yeah my issue with phone games is definitely graphics. It’s not predatory and intrusive monetisation, the small screen, the terrible input, or anything else. Just graphics

[compact fiber]

my main problem is the screen gets to hot to be comfy

[cedar skiff]

Well a better processor helps with that

A lot

[compact fiber]

if ihave controller ill be fine thats why i use controller on my phone

[cedar skiff]

Apple…

You gotta calm down guys

Stop just saying shit

[compact fiber]

Well tbf its not a problem with apple most of the time, since the screen is seperate from teh rest of the phone compared to most androids

[fossil depot]

wait is that lower aperture main camera?

lmao

f/1.78

[karmic egret]

What?

[compact fiber]

now we just need a moon mode so my mom can actually take pics of the moon instead of it being a blob

[fossil depot]

lmao

[halcyon trail]

yes, I often take my screen to work with me and leave the rest of the phone at home..

[steady harness]

Everythings in the screen

idk why we even bring the rest of the phone 4head

[compact fiber]

When you take apart the phone the first thing that comes otu is the screen

compared to androids

[karmic egret]

Not paying attention are you

[cobalt edge]

I like how they almost always get these peculiar types for their pictures

[compact fiber]

which have the procceser usually connected to the screen with some type of vapor chambor

[karmic egret]

This is like the 4s

[karmic egret]

What the fuck are you talking about...

[compact fiber]

talking about the screen getting hot druing gaming

[latent depot]

f/2.8

wha

[fossil depot]

5x telephoto

[wild hatch]

camera difference is interesting

[karmic egret]

By spouting bullshit...

[compact fiber]

its not really a problem on apple bc the proccesor isnt connected to the screen like androids

[karmic egret]

This means nothing

[compact fiber]

yes it does

[karmic egret]

Why don't you pipe down for a while

[compact fiber]

no

[steady harness]

Lmao

[fossil depot]

perascope ish?

[brittle stratus]

[potent arrow]

[halcyon trail]

I have no clue on camera talk lol

[karmic egret]

It wasn't a suggestion

[potent arrow]

broooo

I was readingggg

[cedar skiff]

There’s nothing else interesting coming is there? I’m going to dip on account of needing to sleep

[fossil depot]

iphone main camera in a production lol

[cedar skiff]

Ok recording video directly to external storage is pretty sick

[fossil depot]

4k60 prores

[cedar skiff]

I’ll give them credit for that

[potent arrow]

Who pinged

[fossil depot]

aces?

huuh

[brittle stratus]

they've been trying to push this for years lol

[cobalt edge]

Quick jerking my chain for a second, is iphone ans watch all we've seen today?

[wild hatch]

apple vision pro is back..

[karmic egret]

Apple vision lol

[fossil depot]

yep

[compact fiber]

oop

[cedar skiff]

Yeah every presentation for years has had a thing of them shooting video on an iPhone

Bro that’s like 2cm of separation. What the fuck are you talking about

[compact fiber]

3d vido is back

[compact sentinel]

[cedar skiff]

This is not enough stereo separation to be worth anything

[wild hatch]

2.1D

[compact fiber]

I wonder how long it will last

[compact sentinel]

A friend with a Vision Pro

[halcyon trail]

so who's getting one?

[potent arrow]

Titanium?

[fossil depot]

no one

[fossil depot]

huh?

maybe its cheaper titanium

[halcyon trail]

I am

[cobalt edge]

You have like a 30 second jump on me

[wild hatch]

hey that's lower than i expected atleast

[fossil depot]

i thought it wouldve been more expensive

[karmic egret]

The non pro sure.

[jovial phoenix]

did they get cheaper or am i misremembering

[fossil depot]

september 22

[compact sentinel]

the non pro looks nice

[compact fiber]

they did which is nice

[brittle stratus]

this is direct from their website

[compact sentinel]

the pro is

[cedar skiff]

Ok so if titanium costs more where are they fucking you? They can’t just be not fucking you

[halcyon trail]

15 pro max for me

[fossil depot]

icloud 12tb

[wild hatch]

i thought like 1200$ for the non-max.
though i didn't assume they'd have a different camera setup

[fossil depot]

i mean for $1000, not bad

[sleek torrent]

Pro Max time

[karmic egret]

Dammm

[cobalt edge]

Honestly, if i had money i wouldve picked something up

[cedar skiff]

Remember when the biggest compliment that people gave Apple’s products is that they made purchasing decisions easy? Now they’re deadass selling 8 different models of iPhone, excluding storage variations

[halcyon trail]

'I've had the pro max version every year, I couldn't go smaller now

[halcyon trail]

pay monthly for it

[sleek torrent]

IUP is great

[potent arrow]

💀

[brittle stratus]

I mean you do have many more options for people now

[cobalt edge]

Respectfully, im not financing a phone

Id only pick it up for the camera, ive been looking at getting something nicer

[sleek torrent]

What's so bad about it

[brittle stratus]

Free financing though

[sleek torrent]

^

It's 0 APR

[jovial phoenix]

my little brother i think. dude's started HS this year

[cobalt edge]

I have no steady monthly income

[sleek torrent]

That makes sense.

[jovial phoenix]

which is kind of crazy

[halcyon trail]

niice

[fossil depot]

no ipad?

[sleek torrent]

iPad later

[cobalt edge]

#studentlyf

[cedar skiff]

iPad is usually later I thought

[jovial phoenix]

school chromebooks.

[cobalt edge]

Wait where the fuck are the macs and laptops

[jovial phoenix]

oh

sorry u meant the event

[sleek torrent]

I did IUP as a student but I had a steady job while going to school

[cedar skiff]

Those weren’t on the docket for today

[sleek torrent]

Usually at WCS

Or whatever the thing is called

[cobalt edge]

I thought it was a all in one deal, nevermind

[sleek torrent]

Nah

Usually around this time it's just the watch and phone

[cedar skiff]

Apple doesn’t get a lot of leaks but the leaks tend to be pretty accurate about what’s going to be featured in each apple keynote

[compact sentinel]

The September events have always been about iPhone and watches.

[cobalt edge]

Got you, til

[compact sentinel]

Macs are WWDC.

[cobalt edge]

WWDC?

[sleek torrent]

Yeah that one

worldwide developer conference

[halcyon trail]

did they mention when pre orders are?

[sleek torrent]

I think

[compact sentinel]

Apple Worldwide Developer Conference

[cobalt edge]

Right now

Got ya, thanks @compact sentinel @sleek torrent

[halcyon trail]

no way??

[tall rain]

Wai

[cobalt edge]

I believe so

And something something available sept 22?

[sleek torrent]

Fri

[compact sentinel]

And iPad refreshes are usually Q1

[sleek torrent]

That's how it always is

usually at Friday at 5AM is when preorder starts

PST

[halcyon trail]

thank you

[sleek torrent]

If you're on iPhone Upgrade Program

They normally send you a notification

[halcyon trail]

I am yes

[slate field]

how's the event lookin rn

[sleek torrent]

Saying that you're ready to upgrade if you were able to get yours day 1 last time

Otherwise notification comes later

[sleek torrent]

event just ended

[slate field]

anything good?

[sleek torrent]

News outslets should have summaries pretty soon

[compact fiber]

iphone got usb-c, and some other minor improvments thats about it

[sleek torrent]

Similar to every year, USB C, action button on the pro, camera improvements, Pro has USB3

[compact fiber]

still a camera bump on the macbook, why apple why

[slate field]

oh that's boring

lol

[compact fiber]

its apple dont expect much

they dont like adding good new features that arnt on other phones yet

[cedar skiff]

Like MagSafe and ultra wideband and satellite communication and adaptive refresh rate that doesn’t stink

[compact fiber]

why do the laptops only have 500nits when their phones have 1500nits, i actually use my laptop outside sometiems and it would be nice to have better visability

[cedar skiff]

Hold your phone next to a laptop screen

Notice how they are different sizes

There’s your answer

[compact fiber]

even on my max screen brightness i cant read the laptops creen when teh sun is on it

meanwhile phoen is nice and clear

[halcyon trail]

nice speaking chaps. catch ya laterzzzzz

[compact fiber]

its fine in the shade with some sun but directly in the sun which happens often its nto very nice

nice

192gb max memory is going to be like a 5k upgrade

why does it compare it against intel based mac just do it against your old studio, oh i know bullshit marketing bigger numbers

[brittle stratus]

Why target people that are on older versions of your hardware?

[compact fiber]

If you have a mac studio you better be a professional and already have their studio 1, old people wont spend 5k+ just to brose netflix and stuff

thats what mac minis are for

well not old people

[karmic egret]

I see this has devolved to bulshiit

time for it to go away

[wild hatch]

bye thread
