Time zone cheat sheet:

 

[AJUMP23]

I thought they already had the color green in their lineup.

 

[p_xavier]

I need a new iPad Pro, but I guess it'll be announced this Fall. My 2020 model's Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting and it pisses me off.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I think it’s sorta hilarious they’re releasing the much awaited mid tower when you cannot Boot Camp windows anymore.

 

[Sybrix]

Still rocking my iPhone 7 Plus, best phone ever.

Nothing since the iPhone 7 Plus has made me want to upgrade.

For the last 5 years at least Apple's iPhone line up has been very boring, don't see that trend changing unfortunately

You are using almost 6-year old photo camera? That's some dedication to shit quality pics.

Unless you're being frivolous, not everyone is using their phones as cameras.

This is a sample picture taken by me using iPhone 6. It's not the camera that matters my dude.

Yep. It's how much time you spend digitally enhancing the photo afterwards and then pretending you're an awesome photographer.

I don't really use my phone for photo's, leave that to my fiancé.

The tech in my iPhone 7 is more than sufficient for everything else, this being the main reason why i haven't upgraded, dont see the point.

iPhone releases come in the fall unless the SE is your cup of tea.

This is iPhone 6 in auto mode:

 

[EverydayBeast]

Who knows what Apple will show I predict the Apple Gaming Hardware Console to compete with SONY, Microsoft and NINTENDO.

Does it come with a power cord?

I prefer the iPhone 12/13 Pro Max style than any other Apple phone since iPhone 5. I hated the rounded design of that era. I had switched to Android for those years.

Iphone 6 seems to take hazy photos.

Montserrat ?

Montserrat ?

Sí.

Sí.

Viví en Barcelona durante dos años.

iPhone 7:

Not to go fully off-topic, I'm excited for 13'' MacBook Pro. I need to replace my aging jet-engine powered MacBook Air.

 

[Little Mac]

Are there any good, and preferably free, iPhone photography for dummies videos or classes online? I have an 11 and if that picture is from a 6, I must be doing something terribly wrong when I taker photos.

Have you tried tapping the screen before taking the photo? Tapping tells your phone what you want the focus of the image to be - I’ve known a surprising amount of people who don’t know that.

 

[belmarduk]

I hope they announce the redesigned MacBook Air today... with M2! Its been two years since the last one..

 

[LordOfChaos]

If this Mac Studio is coming today with something beyond an M1 Max I'm excited, but Luke Miani is a sus guy, his leaks have fallen flat before and this seems like a regurgitation of the general shape Jern showed a year ago, plus the Studio name we learned last week.

If it's true though I'm excited to see what's beyond M1 Max. And really wish Apple would create a program with cash incentives to bring native AAA ports to Apple Silicon, the baseline is pretty decent.

 

[Erebus]

They’re not jumping to M2 yet? Interesting.

 

[eddie4]

 

[MaestroMike]

can't wait for super m1 ultra after this one

 

[LordOfChaos]

If they're getting up to 3090 performance I'd have liked to hear about accelerated ray tracing, but I guess that'll be M2 onwards

 

[LordOfChaos]

2.5TB/s on the interconnect shouldn't be underestimated, that's faster than many L1 caches, to software this could look almost like a single chip

 

[Little Mac]

Apple consults Capcom when naming shit now.

 

[eddie4]

They said that software will only see a single chip.

 

[Pagusas]

is it just me or does "Max" seem greater than "ultra"? Like Max always seemed like the highest one could go, the "Maximum" if you will. Ultra always seemed like it would be right under it. But Apple has it the opposite.

Just wait for the iPhone Pro Ultra

 

[sankt-Antonio]

I really hate the way they present this, "its faster than our iMac with the most popular gfx card"... yeah no shit - you put a five year old shitty gfx card in there and made the upgrade not worth it. Uhh.

I have the presenters on mute half the time.

 

[eddie4]

Just wait for the iPhone Pro Ultra

Or the M1 Ultra Max Pro SE

 

[eddie4]

 

[It's all in the wrist]

Ultra Max is what I'm waiting for. Street Fighter 2 was way ahead of it's time.

 

[DrAspirino]

nVidia and AMD should be taking notes, because their most powerful chips suck much more energy than Apple M1s.

 

[Dr Bass]

Mac Studio is nuts. Planning to get one immediately.

 

[eddie4]

Mac Studio with M1 Ultra is at an affordable starting price of $3999. lol

 

[Warnen]

 

[LordOfChaos]

Mac Pro shoutout as coming another time. M1 Ultra becomes a peek at its performance. There's that slogan.
Wait but how is there just one more product, what about the larger iMac?

Yeah, that killed my hard-on quickly.

 

[Zeroing]

Mine too
I need to get a sugar daddy

 

[LordCBH]

M1 Ultra Instinct.

Good point... seems theyre pointing those consumers towards the studio combo.

 

[Ovek]

Ah good to see Jony Ive's design influence and no front port rules are finally fucking off. Shame they still haven't updated that embarrassing mouse and if Apple actually talked to any industry professionals they would have found out that they would want a monitor larger than 27".

 

[p_xavier]

Mine too

I'm usually the sugar daddy and it's still too much. I have a M1 mac mini so still good enough.

 

[LordCBH]

M1 Ultra Instinct.

 

[Pagusas]

nVidia and AMD should be taking notes, because their most powerful chips suck much more energy than Apple M1s.

Given the 4900rtx is rumored to be a 750watt+ beast, I don't think nVidia cares lol.
