Can't think of anything besides new camera improvements that would get me excited other than new battery tech breakthroughs 

 

[Scoresman]

Cant wait for my iphone 6 to mysteriously start acting sluggish now that a new phone is released.

 

[HellToupee]

Only listening to this , wtf kind of a starter is this

Don't ever update the iOS with an older devices. Oh wait, then your apps can't update and are rendered obsolete. And your battery dies off. Get a non-iPhone? Say goodbye to group texts from iPhone users. I posted my laments with Android too to be fair, but they all play the same game. You will buy a new phone whether you like it or not...resistance is futile.

 

[HellToupee]

Holy smokes Nintendo 

 

[MattFancy]

Mario for iOS?

Holy smokes Nintendo

Will this only work on the 7?

 

[HellToupee]

Apple released all the iPhone info on Twitter by mistake or maybe on purpose . Preorder now available 9-16

 

[Billy Bats]

even as Apple's App Store moves to subscription

The #### is this now? 

 

[HellToupee]

Will Pokemon go sell watches?

 

[Billy Bats]

Super Mario on iOS and Pokemon on Apple Watch. Is this what it's come to, Apple? 

 

[MattFancy]

Will Pokemon go sell watches?

Is Pokémon Go still even a thing?

 

[glvsav37]

I still don't understand all this pokemon stuff

 

[Billy Bats]

Will Pokemon go sell watches?

When the kids see this ####?? Probably be plenty wrapped under the tree this Dec.

 

[HellToupee]

Don't kid yourself this is big $$$ for both .

If it works on iPhones, iPads and iPods, kids will require Apples. It's like drugs, once you are in its hard to stop (switch to an Android).

 

[HellToupee]

Only thing I care about on the watch is new & 3rd party watch faces

 

[HellToupee]

Ok this water ejecting speaker is out there

I dream of a smartwatch that congratulates me for how long I've been watching Netflix.

Oh no doubt, just silly to think that might be the most exciting news of the conference.

Not sure if this belongs here or not, but whatever.  Wife left her iphone5 on top of car Saturday.  Made it all the way to the highway ~1.5miles away before it finally fell off.  Amazingly, we found it an hour or so later on side of road.  Shattered screen (glass), but the phone itself still worked.  Went home, backed up all the pictures, then did a full phone backup for the first time in a year .

Anyway, if you ever go about trying to repair the screens on one of these things yourself - get the entire touchscreen+glass kit.  Don't cheap out and just get the glass!!  Trying to get all the broken pieces of glass off the old touchscreen was a huge PITA, and I ended up breaking the damn thing anyway.  Just get the kit that comes everything - you'll just have to transplant the home button, and front facing camera.  Everything else is there and you can get it all fixed in under an hour.

It's time for me to upgrade my iPhone5 but now I just need to figure which one makes the most sense.  6, 6s or 7?

 

[HellToupee]

"This is our best iPhone we've ever created"

isnt  this a statement that doesn't need to be said.

Too bad they are all too big for what my wife wants.  Here's hoping they drop the price of their "SE" model.

That's what she said

"Introducing the new iPhone 7! Its about as good as the 4. Definitely worse than the 5 or 6."

Agree, they need to make a multi port lightning connector so I can charge and use my earphones simultaneously. Not sure that's technically possible. 

Or like icon said two lightning ports. So dumb not to. 

I am listening to podcasts on my Android phone while also charging it at my desk, virtually every day. I can't imagine not being able to do that. 

 

[MattFancy]

New home button doesn't click anymore

 

[matttyl]

New home button doesn't click anymore

But it will feel like it clicks....

 

[MattFancy]

At least the 7 is water resistant

I am listening to podcasts on my Android phone while also charging it at my desk, virtually every day. I can't imagine not being able to do that. 

I listen to podcasts every night while charging, I guess I'm headed back to Android for my next phone. My last 4 phones have been two iPhones and 2 Android, so I have no real loyalty, this just makes my decision really easy (even more so when the alternative is dealing with adapters and/or wireless headphones.

 

[wilked]

I get the feeling Apple is going to lose a ton of customers with this move

 

[glvsav37]

ok...so how do you charge it while using the headphones???

 

[NutterButter]

ok...so how do you charge it while using the headphones???

people do that?

 

[glvsav37]

airpods...more like air pod b/c I'm sure as #### losing at least one of those

 

[mquinnjr]

people do that?

My image of this is "it puts the lotion in the basket, or it gets the hose."

 

[Hawks64]

airpods...more like air pod b/c I'm sure as #### losing at least one of those

They look ridiculous and very uncomfortable.

 

[mquinnjr]

AirPods?!?!

 

[glvsav37]

people do that?

IDK...but i'm sitting at my desk with those old earbud things plugged into my phone while its charging so its not dead by the time I leave today.

I guess.....get off my lawn!!!

 

[glvsav37]

5 hours of listening...so I need 2 sets to get through an 8 hour work day? 

 

[wilked]

5 hrs of play.  So basically, these will be constantly on the charger

I don't listen to anything on  my phone at my desktop.   That's what i have a computer for.  

 

[mquinnjr]

I will take the over on whatever number Vegas puts out there for people losing these things not having a wire connecting them to one another.

 

[NutterButter]

I have another pair that's 7 I believe.  I don't think they go too much longer than that for bluetooth.

Never mind.  I see the beats cans are 40 hours.   Maybe I'm thinking the in ear design.

 

[wilked]

Beats go for 24 hrs

 

[HellToupee]

Couldn't they have rolled this out with much less COURAGE and retained the headphone jack for a generation or 2.

 

[HellToupee]

all the complaining by me & everyone that it's always the same phone with small additions and apple pulls this and we piss & moan. Still want a jack
