RedSoxFan9 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 https://www.apple.com/apple-events/livestream/ it seems like it will be a boring event (unless apple has managed to keep the lid on leaks) Apple might announce their own Tile tracker, which would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emblazon Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 We added another rear camera, so we had to call it Pro. Thanks Apple, I already have a phone with 3 rear cameras that's called Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Damn I didn't even realize it was new iPhone announcement time. After being suckered into an XSmax last year, I'm keeping this thing until it dies. Hopefully I get a good 4-5 years out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yeah, I'll be keeping my XR for another year at least. No need to upgrade my series 4 watch, either. And no regrets about buying the most recent base iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Nothing too interesting, but these are good yearly updates. This stuff is't going to be that exciting anymore. Those days are over for now. I personally love the always on display. Was the number one thing on my apple watch wishlist. Might actually buy one now. I'll stick with my iPhone 8 for another year at least. No need to update, still performs like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, phones in general really aren't changing much from year to year. There's really no point in upgrading your phone yearly, unless you just like wasting money.

Kal-El814 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I am actually kind of happy that we don’t get “excited” about shit like mobile OSs anymore? All the flagship phones right now are really good, it’s just a matter of personal preference at this point. People not being compelled to spend hundreds of dollars every year on new, often disposed electronics is not a bad thing. It makes sense for Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to double down on services when hardware sales dip until we’re all Netrunners or some shit. That being said, “pro” is one of the sillier marketing hooks, but it seems to have caught on so why not double down, I guess. Gimme and Apple Watch Pro, why the hell not. 3 hours ago, Emblazon said: Dammit. Instead of focusing on sleep and extending the battery life, we get AOD. Where you gonna put that battery? 18 hours of life with AOD is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm perfectly ok without AOD. Give me the extra battery life. Galaxy Watch gets over 3 days. Fitbit Versa gets around 5 days. 18 hours is a joke. But I'll still end up getting one. Lol.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 3 minutes ago, BlueAngel said: Yeah for the most part, I only upgrade every year because of my lease. Every 12 months I get to upgrade, so I essentially pay about $240 a year for the latest and greatest, not a bad deal overall. I tend to keep mine a couple years, then sell for a new one. I guess phones aren't super important to me, but I'm used to Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to upgrade after my two year contract was up, but that is no longer a thing so I figure $240 a year isn't that bad to have the latest and greatest. At least Samsung changed things up a lot in the last few years, quite happy here. I switched with the Galaxy S6, but I hated that phone so I went back to Apple after a year. Battery on it was total garbage. It's just up to your preferences. My phone does what I want, so I stick with with. And since I have the iPad and Watch, I'm just entrenched in the ecosystem now.

Guest Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Phone fanboys are worse than console fanboys, somehow. I browse the web, send texts, send email, and take pics...there just isn’t a meaningful difference between any of these devices for such things. I use mine a lot for work so my batteries get a ton of cycles on them so a new phone is mostly a battery swap for me, whatever new this or that it does is at most icing.
