I just realized Tim Cook sounds like a South Park character.
I will never be able to unhear it now

These new bigger iPhones 5 SE look amazing!

Here we go the environmental crap again. We appreciate it but do you have to mention in every damn keynote.
- And they’re removing chargers and AirPods. You have to buy them separately lolNBQ00
- privacy, security and environmental stuff are key selling points for iphones mangrafician
- Some care for others @NBQ00; it's called empathy, look into it:
https://en.wikipedia…ideaist - I care about environment it’s just annoying they need to mention it so often in all their keynotes.NBQ00
- making electronic devices that sells by millions units can't be good for the environment anyways.Bennn
- its like hitting someone in the face and petting his hand at the same time, and saying sorry.Bennn
- Chargers I can understand, who at this point doesn't have a USB wall charger of some description...face_melter
- ..but the sly, winking, fuckery comes from selling the high-speed chargers at an increased markup.face_melter

iPhone Mini looks like a great fucking deal! wow!

Who are all these people? I miss the old keynotes ...just Steve Jobs

OK, well ... that's that.
If nothing else, the new 12s should be easier to hold, thanks to the squared off sides.
- iPhone 5 had the same type sides. Good times.monospaced
- Yup, I know. I was rocking my old 5S until summer 2019.Continuity

That mini is basically what I've been looking for in a phone. Hopefully it sells well, and some of the Android phone manufactures copy it.
Smallest phone I could find that wasn't super dated was a Pixel 3a, and it's still a bit too large for my tastes.
- copy the size, that is.section_014
- Do you all have like tiny hands... like Trump?NBQ00
- Better for pockets. Never needed the obscenely large screen to begin with. iPhone 4 was probably the best size-wise for me.SteveJobs
- ^^^ agree on all points.section_014

Digging the idea of the mini tbh. I like to run, as well as other outdoor stuff, and this seems perfect. When I saw the leaked rumors of this phone I figured the features would be paired back a lot. Really surprised it's got almost all the same tech as the larger phones.
- It'll be really interesting to see how it sells, relative to the other models.Continuity
- SE does the trick for this too.ideaist

So it's a bette rversion of the Palm Phone?

I predict the mini will far exceed their market projections and the iPhone 13 will come in an even more compact form factor.
- username checks outKrassy
- Did Apple reveal market projections? Or are you referring to those set by pundits and analysts looking to impact the market?monospaced
- I'm just referring to internal projections. I think there will be increasing of a demand for a smaller form factor, notably by male users favoring portability.SteveJobs
- Did Apple release their internal projections? Have they ever?monospaced
- I get what you're saying, btw, and agree. It's just that any projections are done by 3rd parties, and they are almost always exceeded.monospaced

I'm on the site, reading and watching vids on all the great tech, the 5G, the beautiful ( if re-hashed) non bevel aluminum design, but it all means fuck-all as the only thing I can focus on, much like the fly on Pence's head is the god-awful notch.
Why?!?!?!
Why?!?!?!
Why?!?!?!all those resources, all that money and they can't think of a more elegant solution? Samsung has, Hwaweii has, google has.
Steve Jobs would have machine gunned an entire department if he ever saw the notch lol.
- https://thecornishli…_niko
- because form follows functionESKEMA
- Because this is how you spot an iPhone user from 20ft awaynb
- I'd rather a notch than a chin. use the sides of that black space to put clock and notifications etc...inteliboy
- They did make the screen taller. It’s not like you are losing screen. Calm down.monospaced
- They went with Face ID so now they're stuck with the notch until they can put all the sensors and cam under the screenNBQ00
- What bothers me really is how they couldn't shrink the bezels around the phone to be really thin. Looks still like outdated phoneNBQ00
- Why post an image of the old model phone?monospaced
- Is it? Couldn’t tell ;)_niko
- Steve Jobs would have... lol, true! It looks not good.api
- Keeping iphone 8, looks like it will be the new design of the iPhone 19..slappy
- It's a fucking phone. Who really gives af?!jaylarson

I think I would regain respect for the value of any apple gadget only if they were cristal clear about programmed obsolescence. I know it’s not gonna happen, but it’s the only way I would trust in Apple again. Something like “The new iOS gently handles the requirements of iPhone 8+”. If that would happen, I’d be hands down with apple again. Meanwhile, I don’t trust neither respect their shenanigans.
- iOS 14 works up to the 6s, which is 5 years old. Is that not good enough? I use a 7 with a completely shattered display. Still fucking works.ESKEMA
- What shenanigans? Apple supports products older than anyone else dude. Lol.monospaced
- We're way past that point now. Apple's intention has been clear. They make it increasingly difficult to independently repair and maintain devices.face_melter
- Their continued pushback against Right To Repair is reason enough to absolutely distrust them (and others) about anything they do.face_melter
- You’re not talking about iPhones anymore.monospaced

I'm a financial retard. Is it good time to buy Apple shares?
