Ideally, all the tech sites will have summarised it neatly for me by the time I get off the tube 🙂

They go on a bit but can be quite interesting to sit through sometimes, if only as an exercise in learning about good presentation and how to build hype.

learning about good presentation and how to build hype

"We have iShiny New iPhone, u buy it""

Sums it up 😆

The early Jobs ones were quite good.

For those that want to fight the power...

Personally I'd rather lick sandpaper that watch these events.

The only impressive things about them is Apple's ability to suck itself off so fervently for a prolonged period of time.

I guess that does take [i]courage[/I].

The Live Chat on that video is pretty amusing.

Not sure they are all Apple faithful 😀

Ok. I am now watching it just to shout at the TV 🙂

Two fingers every time some fanboy says "game changer".

Tim is spouting a lot of ****, eh?

**** me.

I am only watching this to bitch....but holy shit, this is next level stroking.

How can you hype Siri when it's still dumb as a box of frogs.

I have an iPhone, and Tim is making me hate myself now.

That's kind of my point, fall from table....cracked screen, fall out of pocket....cracked screen etc etc...my 5S did it, my 6 did it, my SE hasn't done it yet but I've only had it since December so give it time.

Just for you, Deviant.

Bionic 😀 😀 😀

sorry that is ridiculous

super retina 😆

Well...that has to be better. Super is in the description.

Battery life of 5hrs and yours for £1k (probably).

Phones..Meh
Watch...Yeah

Crikey £1,000 for mobile phone ... 😯

edit: my mobile phone is only £30 PAYG and my call charges per year is about £30 max ... nobody to call. 😆

No new small phone.

You're dead to me Apple.

Also, FaceiD? meh. [s]What about if you sometimes wear glasses/grow a beard/break your nose?[/s] Ok, neural engine for that.

LOL FaceID failed on the live demo !

FailedID

hoping there's more to this than just animated emoji's... that should be like an easter egg not a key feature.

$50 billion worth of tech and their ****ing about with emoji's - telling

Heh....Apple just [i]invented[/i] charging mats.

In had a Samsung with facial recognition about five years ago.

Have they mentioned whether or not the banks will accept facial recognition for contactless approval yet?...

That is surely a backwards step I feel they lose that ability.

I think we've reached maximum phone for 95% of consumers already.

I like my tech but when I upgraded last the price of the big name phones was just too much to swallow, and I've historically had high end phones.

The only feature I care about over my P9 for the next phone is waterproof, so it will likely be a midrange phone.

In had a Samsung with facial recognition about five years ago.

Which could be fooled by a photo, and did not have adaptive learning. I'll shit on Apple with the best of them, but their facial id will be better than what has come before.

had a Samsung with facial recognition about five years ago.

Yep, mentioned earlier, but it was a failure partly because it was easily fooled with just a photo of the user.

The hope was that Apple were going to do it [i]right[/i] using infra-red and depth perception. But if the demo failed then that's not so inspiring! 😆

It looks cool as ****, but I think I'll be saving my money for a new kitchen...

I knew it. No new Aliens have landed for a while so we are out of new Tech for a bit, reverting to human led organic development until we reach the pinnacle of our current absorbed knowledge

See pyramids, space shuttles, concorde and 650b for other examples.

In reality Apple now remains a niche market for the wrong reasons; financial rather than technical elevation beyond the mainstream.

Let's see UK pricing but I am guessing an iPhone 8 6GB will be £625-650 ? That would work for me as an upgrade from the 6.

The AR stuff is very cool and will sell a lot of phones.

The pricing looks nuts across the range, if I didn't like the idea of waterproof it would be the SE for me

So what's the difference in specs 7/8/x ?

Not the bull difference i.e. Things that actually make a difference

Edit: saw pricing starts at $1k for 64gb x. They wouldn't even say how much the 256gb version will be, and I bet that's the version you really need 😆

Kryton how is Aple niche, they dominate phones a tablets not just in nunbers sold but especially in profits. They are killing the competiton who can only hang in there by selling for very low margin

U.K. pricing equal to dollar apparently x phone is 999 quid. Jeezzzz,

That's kind of my point, fall from table....cracked screen, fall out of pocket....cracked screen etc etc...my 5S did it, my 6 did it, my SE hasn't done it yet but I've only had it since December so give it time.

Rather than blame the phone maybe you should be less of a clumsy ****er 😉

£699.

It does have inductive charging.

£1k???

FOR A TELEPHONE???

FOR A TELEPHONE???

I think, in common with many smartphone users, actual phone calls are one of the least used features of my "telephone".

, they dominate phones a tablets not just in nunbers sold

Also, Android market share is around 80% (Gartner)

Hardly 'dominate' the falling tablet market, either http://fortune.com/2017/05/04/apple-ipad-tablet-market/

I do like that you can see Alexander Graham Bell's headphone cable underneath his jacket there.
Slightly disappointed he didn't have AirPods though.

I actually use mine as a telephone coz I can't text with such small keyboard nor can I see the text due to the small screen ... 😆

edit: When I called my colleague (he has this expensive big Samsung smartphone) he seems to be surprised to be called ... 😆

I'm referring to the past when they were a niche technology company doing something different. Now they are just a niche company because Thier content is more expensive than the mass market will accomodate.

I think I'll save my money for a bike.

Hence why a £30 PAYG suits you chewkw. Meantime I'm replying to you on my phone.
