Which is still less expensive than the HomePod.

No.

And why should I care if they have 4 or 6 GB of RAM?

My 12.9” iPad Pro running iOS 13 final beta has memory issues. Safari tabs and apps re-load way more frequently than they did with iOS 12.  I hope 13.1 fixes it.

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?

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?

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. 

After starting out fast the keynote dragged a bit. There wasn’t a ton to talk about with the Pro phones. Whip is why they spent so much time on the camera.

Tweaked A12 for XR successor and A13 for the 'Pro' models?

That might enable them to cut costs on the XR a little although it could push up the cost of the pro models as the A13 would have a smaller market to ship to initially.

Has Apple ever released a tweaked processor in a new iPhone?

I’m very curious what the pricing structure will be for these new phones. I’m hoping Apple changes the naming conventions so the successor to the XR becomes the iPhone for most people (like the MacBook Air is in the laptop line). But I’m really hoping if they go to ‘Pro’ naming it’s not so they can raise prices. Considering iPhone growth stalling and Apple really pushing the trade-in program hard it seems like raising prices would be off the table. With Apple though you never know.
