I was in full expectation to see Greta Thunberg walk into Apple HQ. Too bad she wasn't available. So Mother Nature showed up instead 🌳
Lots of talk about carbon-neutral, but no mentioning of nudging people to keep using their watch of phone a year longer instead of upgrading again. Maybe an Apple Care package for 3 instead of 2 years would help a lot? 🤔
The Apple Watch 9 will support a new gesture. This new, universally understood "shush your mouth" sign will ensure that more smug looking hippies will get a fist in their face once in a while. The built-in fall detection and emergency SOS features will be helpful. 🤏
The Apple Watch ultra 2 now has a screen with even more nits, meaning it can now be used as an outdoor bear repellant. No mentioning of this, sadly. 🐻
The new iPhone 15 gets lasts years iPhone 14 pro's SOC. That is good news. You can now buy a new iPhone and be behind in tech right away. 😅
Furthermore, the capability to talk to satellites is still not combined with global iMessage coverage. Another great selling point to bring Signal users "back into the fold" seems lost on Apple 📡
The main camera of the iPhone 15 now has a 48MP chip, but saves photos in up to 12 MP. All the extra pixels will be put to good use, though. Photos were already wonderful, but will now be Even More Slightly Better™️
iPhone 15 pro, thank God, is not increasing in price. The price hikes were introduced some months ago here in Europe, so we got time to get used to the "new normal."
We live in the Space Age, so of course our new gadget is now made of "grade 5" titanium, the same stuff that a Mars Lander was once made off, apparently. Feels like overkill. Lastly, thanks to the iPhone 5 Pros' support of USB 3 via the USB-C connector, we can now enjoy a relaxed cup of coffee while our data crawls over a slow line. Seriously, Apple, why not include USB 4 (Thunderbolt) support? 🐌
Anyway, I will order the 15 Pro this Friday.
