The names are too confusing. XS, XR, iPhone XP?
I think Apple has peaked.

lol @ these prices.
- well, they have now 100% renewable energy from their solar panels, they recycle your old device for free, and make new shiny gadgets out of it by robots.uan
- The XR is the same price as a Galaxy S9. The higher up models are more expensive by far though.monospaced
- Pixel 2 XL is $850 retail.monospaced
- Doesn't mean those aren't overpriced either. If you are on the road, and need your phone for everything, I get it. For 90% of people, any $300 phone is plenty.section_014
- pocophone f1 is $370.uan
- Totally. And people who don’t want expensive phones don’t buy them. But everyone makes one.monospaced
- uk price for the max is £1K+, post Brexit will be £2k+. Regardless, you might as well carry a MacBook around with you and take FaceTime calls on that.shapesalad

- It's been 7 years since Steve Jobs isn't with us and all we have are bigger phones, lol.Maaku
- @maaku :)api
- Meanwhile samsung is making foldable screens...pinkfloyd
- I can't help but see a bubble or a contact lens every time i see these images. The phone looks curved. Odd choice.Gucci
- Yea it took me a while to figure out wtf it was********

I just noticed a trick they do. They'll take away a feature for one version of the phone, and then reintroduce it like it's a big deal.
- A lot of that presentation was just re-hashing features that had come out in the last year or so.zarkonite
- api0
so... what about the new macbook? they did not introduce it today.
- they introduced that months agomonospaced
- You literally started a thread about it. Bought the new model and then updated us about it. https://www.qbn.com/…monospaced
- Hahahahaha mono.ArmandoEstrada
- This was a iOS keynote. Jeez.NBQ00
- @monospaced the thread i started was about the new macbook PRO.
now the macbook and macbook Air will be renewed soon hopefully.api - I see ... my prediction is that the Air will be phased out as the regular MBs and MBPs get thinner and thinner.monospaced

This is the most valuable company in the world and all they can do in a year is give you a slightly bigger screen?
Its almost 2020, I expected holograms, I expected hoverboards, I expected...something more than a cell phone made with cheap Chinese parts.
Steve would not be happy.
- The health portion was a big deal in terms of tech, and the AR stuff is chugging along nicely. At some point we have to acknowledge the low hanging fruits havezarkonite
- all been picked and it's going to take more than a year to come up with new tech and implement it.zarkonite
- I don't know, the features were pretty consumer-oriented with the huge health updates and the camera image processing tech was pretty impressive.SteveJobs
- people want new phones from Applemonospaced

physical dual sim only for china and only with the top priced model :-/
- Includes additional propaganda feed in the New's app.shapesalad
- And automatically reports you for taking a nude selfie and gets you 1 year at a labour camp.shapesalad
- Battery has a feature, that when in Taiwan or Hong Kong territory, can be used as an IED if those pesky folks say they're not part of China.shapesalad

WHATABOUTMACPRO?????
- It's over. With advances in AI we won't need pro machines in 5 years time, as we won't need to work, it'll all be automated by machines.shapesalad
- cool, im over this working thing.BabySnakes
- Exactly, WTF!BH26
- They said it's coming in 2019. This Keynote wasn't about Macs and everybody knew.NBQ00

Well since Jobs died Apple has created the iWatch, the iSpeaker the iPhoneX and updated OSes.
Eh...
They are crawling along. Not blazing like w/ their late-leader but Cook has them leveled out.
Not dead yet.

$2300+ for the top of the range iPhone in Australia.
Fuck offffffffffffffffffff.

This keynote is competently produced. This is what a keynote at a trillion dollar company looks like, huh?
- inteliboy0
every phone manufacturer do these kinds of updates every single year with no uproar from fanboys whatsoever. Apple does it and the internet ignites with nerd rage and whining.
- That's not true, people do the exact same thing when google has their event.zarkonite
- Apple is supposed to be more than just a cell phone maker.youngdesigner
- they are ... they have cloud services, music streaming services, retail stores, etcmonospaced
- mekk2
iPhone XS Max lol
- How can it be XtraSmall and Max at the same time?shapesalad
- it's the iphone X
it's the S generation
and it's the large screen version
you get me?hans_glib - ^ when you got a short dick with a huge glans?mekk
- i was used to say "plus" for the large screen version - now - everything new. bravo!api
- @hans_glib you described it very good! thank youapi
- hans we know, it still sound stupid. and why replace plus with max?mekk
- I don't get why they didn't just name it this way:
iPhone X
iPhone X Plus
iPhone XSyuekit - because those indicators indicate last year's models, I supposemonospaced
- Using Max instead of Plus is an unwelcome departure thoughmonospaced
- I think the regular X should have been called the iPhone 9 though ... iPhone XR seems weird for their "basic" newest phone.monospaced
- iPhone neinmekk
- Maybe plus is perjorative in this new super healthy apple worldhans_glib
- Plus = offensive to fat peopleyuekit
- The Max of XtraSmall is almost Small, therefore:
iPhone XS Max = iPhone Almost S

- It's one of the rare updates that make your phone run smoother and faster. Seriously. Especially with older phones like 5s or 6, also iPad Air/mini2.raf

^ Usually an iOS update means worse performance for older models, but there were updates that actually made iPhones run noticeably smoother.
One such update was years ago, iOS 4 or 5. Another one was 10.3 when they changed over to their new filesystem. The 12 is one of those too. A speed boost so significant, it made my iPad mini 2 usable again.

Is the Mac Safari 12 update worth doing?
Says it now automatically suggests and fills new passwords.
It flags where you reused the same password.
And automatically turns off extensions that have a negative impact.not sounding too great....
- It killed off "Stylish" extension. I was annoyed. But not a deal breaker.NBQ00

I have an iPad air. it's pretty old. somethings are running smoother with iOS12, while other things, like Instagram, got screwy. They changed the aspect ratio of instagram, so now it's got black bars on the side and all the text is crunchy. not cool. but whatever.
- Instagram is an iPhone app, has no iPad version. Previous iOS would display iPhone apps' 3x4 screen ratio version on iPad because that's iPad's ratio as well.raf
- Thing is, the last iPhone with 3x4 screen ratio was iPhone 4S. Most new iPhone apps don't even come with that ratio views anymore.raf
- Apple decided to use recent iPhone views when displaying iPhone-only apps on iPad. Makes sense to me, and your bonus is Instagram now displays in Retina versionraf
- there should be only 5 screen sizes ever in the world: laptop 17", 15", 13" a 10" tablet size and a 3.5" smartphone.shapesalad
- one is tired of designing to 100's of slightly different screen sizes.shapesalad
- Still, the type is all crunchy looking. Not sharp. What good is retina if it looks shit.dopepope
- BTW, Instagram didn't work properly anymore, photo editing features did not display for a while — because of interface incompatibility.raf
