I don’t understand your point. Faster internet access absolutely IS a big whoop. How and when it’s achieved are subjects of discussion, but the value of increased speed certainly isn’t.
I'm an apple fan but I wish they would have just dropped price. The market data clearly shows that people are buying cheaper options. If they'd priced the iPhone 11 at $599, iPhone 11 Pro at $799, iPhone 11 Pro Max at $899, they would have turned more heads in the industry. They literally could kill off competition if they would release a solid $400-500 iPhone.
They dropped the price on the 11, which is the only one where that probably matters. The Xr is available still for less and your solid $400-500 iPhone is the 8. I don’t see the problem here.
Yep I agree, glad to see they dropped price even if it was just by a little. What I'm saying is they could have really put the hurt on competition if they would have released the iPhone 11 at the $500 price point. I know they couldn't because that would make no sense with their current state of keeping older models around to hit those cheaper price points, but it would have been nice.
Basically, the dullest Apple keynote I can recall. I said some weeks ago that I expected one that was somewhere in the spectrum of ‘blah’ to ‘meh’: that turned out to be a wildly optimistic prediction.
Apple appears to be currently in a holding pattern vis-à-vis its products and services. Looking on the bright side, the stock was flat.
I’ll wait for 2020.
What a shock. Maybe next year you can delight and surprise us by not complaining so much in advance?

Sure, why don’t they just wipe out their entire profit margin while they’re at it and sell everything at cost? Great business model, you should email Tim.
Looks like Apple is taking iPhone X trade-ins at a value of $400 (bigger capacity I assume). Will have to see what 64gb is valued for. Not bad tho compared to 64gb model here:
Gazelle: $246 eBay avg: $337 (before fees)
...plus with Apple trade in you don't need to worry about boxes, cables, cosmetic wear, fees, etc.
This might be one of the main reasons I might consider doing the upgrade this go around, maximize the trade-in / resell potential value of my X. And as you mentioned, the no hassle process as well.
Am in the trade up program and the 11 Max will have the same payments as my 10X Max. More tech at same price, except for sales tax and new case which is the only negative about annual trade in. O’h if you ask nicely the carrier waives that darn line (device) fee.
Love the new camera features.. huge leap forward for me.
Going for the Silver Pro Max 512.. selling my Xs 512 on Ebay... net will be something around 700ish..

No mention of iOS 13. I know it was presented at WWDC but nevertheless it is a big upgrade coupled with new devices, should have mentioned somewhere. Besides the presentation was 15 min. shy of 2 hrs. giving Craig F. time for his marvelous iOS insights and I meant that in all sincerity.

Will do. Oh, I should have added (as I mentioned in another thread), the format of these keynotes is getting to be quite stale. It needs to be reimagined.
As an aside, what the heck happened to the 16" Mac, RFID trackers, etc?
Cameras cameras cameras. Cameras everywhere. Have they announced that I can use the portrait mode to take pictures of my dogs? Because I don't take pictures of humans. I take pictures of my dogs, and would like to have a use for portrait mode.
Actually, yes. Phil specifically mentioned that you can take portrait pics of your dog/pet.

LOL, now the keynotes themselves aren’t innovative enough? “Reimagined” hahahaha what a joke.
Nobody expected Macs today. Nobody knows the timeline on the Tag, for all we know that’s a 2020 product. October event with both these and iPad Pros is more likely.
Welcome to what LG was already making in their V series for about a year. Five cameras was in 2018. Also Welcome to Android OLED world. Maybe this time all those iOS devices will not look yellow on display when put side by side with Androids. Well even 2010 iPad holds white balance better than newer Apple devices with no yellow tint (and still works on iOS 10)
Are you aware of Night Shift? Newer iOS devices incorporate a feature that can make the color temperature automatically change to keep you from having to stare at a bluish screen late in the day, which could interfere with your sleep. The timing is configurable, as is the color temperature. This could explain why you’re seeing warmer screens and changing colors on the devices—it’s intentional, but it can also be disabled if you prefer.

He is right. When you begin to see the 'formula' behind the presentation, it takes front row in your perception of the event. It does become 'stale'. I think that's a valid criticism and I think more people are seeing the formula.
Interesting how the final design looks so close to the rumored renders, yet at the same time not ugly. Proves how much it's all in the details.
I agree that the renders looked worse but IMO these are still ugly (and these are presentation materials - the most favourable angles and lighting).
If Borg had iPhones the black one wouldn't look out of place, which is strange in a way as they probably looked to accentuate certain industrial styled elements deliberately.
I personally am not convinced this was a good decision.
Looks like Apple’s night mode is more realistic. They didn’t mention it much on stage. I’m guessing that’s because others already have it. I like that both the 11 and the Pro get it. I like that it’s more realistic. Google’s looks like you turned on a light and then snapped the photo.

You sound like a clueless Androider...
Stabilization just lets you get smoother shots while handholding, it can't give you perfectly still frames...
