CPU , GPU  speeds and RAM mean little these days if buying the top end iPhone. 

You know it will be blindingly fast.

Just like the X still is, and I doubt anyone will notice a difference going to the XS/XR variants. 

Would be odd though (and headline grabbing) if for some things it was slower than last year's top model. 

Absolutely RAM matters. I had an original iPad Air with 1GB RAM and the experience was awful. Especially in Safari. Tabs would constantly be refreshing. With my iPad Pro and 4GB RAM that rarely happens.

Correct.

It wouldn't matter much if no new features were added but as Apple expands capabilities, demands increase.

People are just jumping on board with Apple Watch. We're starting to see them pop up everywhere and it's about to go into overdrive mode.

As always, Apple picked just the right time to announce and launch this model. We are living in the height off Apple Watch adoption. You're gonna see a lot more of these soon. Don't be surprised if you see them everywhere you go post-Holiday 2018!

Knockoff iPhone boasts about 1 trillion billion GigaSheep RAM
but runs slower than iPhone 6

iKnockoff nerd:
"Specs is all that matters! Humph!"

Apple announces A12 Bionic

iKnockoff nerd:
"Well, that's not real world performance though...."

iPhone destroys every knockoff in real world performance

iKnockoff nerd:
"Weak specs though..."

Why do I get the feeling this will be all over front page media just to ignore Apples big announcements?

I can see the headlines now:

"Apple can't even map their own campus correctly"
"Siri and Maps still confused"
"Maps is a failure and how it's taking Apple employees the long route"
"Siri still a failure with Maps"
"Even Apple employees are under the curse of Maps"

Guys, this was a short film. If it were 100% accurate it would be boring with less tension.

And no, the Apple Watch can't teleport you either.

Too many senseless critics; that was a absolutely great way to open the show: “the clicker!”

What bothers the heck outta me is that they never use Apple TV remote as the clicker. Apple TV/Siri Remote is totally capable and free promotion. Instead they go with some 3rd party Microsoft-eque looking nerd gear.

The new iPhones and AppleWatch are great but I am disappointed by the prices.  Does anyone know how much the tariffs have contributed to the price increases?  The dollar after all is strong.  I anticipated Apple would include new USB-c chargers in the X models to make up for the estimated $100 price increase I see across the X models.

I love my iPhone X and I want other people to experience it and perceive a good value with the purchase.

Apple is about making money FIRST, they clearly proved that when they didn’t even include a fast charger with the Max that starts at $1100. I thought they would include them with all the phones this time around but no. They are still nickel and diming is because they know we will still pay.
Sad but that’s how businesses work, make money for their shareholders and those high salaries for their execs.

One post moron be gone! ALL companies are about making money, EVEN charities! What a revelation this moment must be for you.
Thank you.
