thanks for starting this. first keynote on lemmy lol

is this purely a hardware release? or are we going to get talk of the EU-geolocked sideloading thing

Curious to see what they cripple with usbc. And if they’re updating every lightning port product to usbc too. Be interesting if all phones will get the pill/dynamic island treatment. Hope it’s useful and not a gimmick when more apps support it

Went on a vacation and my wife's 13 got run over by a truck and my 12 pro back glass shattered by falling on concrete. Now I'm fully ready for new phones. Hopefully one of my kidneys is enough.

An interesting effect of unifying Mac and iPhone tech is that games ported to Mac need little work to be ported to iPhone.

Getting actual AAA games on iPhone is kinda cool but still seems very impractical. Mostly because if you can afford an iPhone 15 pro you can afford a game console, Mac/PC, etc.

I nominate @cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca for shitposter of the month. Their comments really made the event more entertaining

Uhh. Who needs raytraced video games on their iPhone? I really doubt many mobile games are going to support and leverage that capability. If they do you would hard pressed to notice it on a phone screen.

Guys, if you want your youtube channel to blow up right now, talk abou the event, be as clickbaity as you can

"The iPhone 15 is a blast, I can't even look at my 14 Pro Max anymore!"

"The iPhone 15 titanium at $2000, is it worth it?"

"Apple keynote: One more-more thing"

What’s the best place to watch this in VR with other people? Probably a niche question, but it might be fun.

Seems like the base model 15 has everything I want. Not sure how they’re going to sell the pro model this year.

Don't really think there'll be much this time around for me to get personally hype about, but it's always fun seeing what they roll out.

I’ll be upgrading whatever it is. Work is gonna pay for it and it’s easily my most used device.

That double tap ad was hilarious
Reminds me of the old wii ads

USB 3 support lmao. Such revolutionary tech.

Never before have I sern them recycle product cards from the year before. Looks like the Ultra 2 is like the new Apple TV 4K, very small update. Why not just skip a year?

Now the fun game of how do I get a non US model iPhone into the US.

Fuck eSIM. All my homies hate eSIM.

Many of the posts in here are awfully salty for Apple enthusiasts. lol.

Doesn’t matter though I ordered a 15 pro max (512gb blue) immediately.
