Apple’s Sept. 7 Event

This new notifications thing looks nice. “Dynamic Island” Cute. Very clever way to play with the pill cutout.

I like the “Dynamic Island”. But I’m not upgrading for that…

 

[Eric]

Evidently I’m saving a fortune this year. Looking forward to the os updates.

Same here, just waiting for the iOS updates now.

 

[Cmaier]

Shite. I think I need to buy one. I want to write apps that take advantage of the island.

Something tells me the "dynamic island" is going to be the new normal for the next several generations of iPhones...

I was thinking the same thing, creative on their part.

48MP camera. 65% bigger sensor. That will make a big difference. Pixel grouping to create “big” pixels for wide angle. That will let in a lot of light.

I normally upgrade for the camera. But I’m not upgrading until we get USB-C.

Nice to see they're addressing low light, so far, even on the 13 pro max it's pretty bad with all the noise and detail loss. A higher MP count will help but being only on the wide camera will have limitations. I've tested extensively with it and rarely get real keepers on serious shoots.

They're trying to market it as pro photography equipment but it's still a long way from a real Mirrorless or DSLR CMOS sensor, considering it's size it will always be limited this way. Great for point and shoot photographers though.

Someone on MR asked: "Guys, serious question: where are white, normal looking men in Apple's photos during presentations?"

Now THAT's the MR that we know and love.

 

[Citysnaps]

The camera improvements alone are making the phone a buy for me.

 

[rdrr]

Wow, those camera's look like they stick out a lot more.

Well, all those photo tips books tell you to get closer to your subject, perfect!

 

[Alli]

Why didn’t they announce when the new os would be available?

That's normal for MR.

 

[Joelist]

I was rooting for a built in death ray feature - point the phone, click and all the battery energy leaps out in a lightning like bolt to your target!

There was a Slavic guy? Or does that not count, by Hitlerian standards?

 

[Eric]

So that's that then? They should start having these every few years, I get why they do these incremental updates annually but every 12 months we hear how the new one is the greatest thing since sliced bread compared that shitty modely they just sold you a few months ago. I was really anticipating it and was pretty much a letdown, I fall for it every year!

 

[Eric]

That's normal for MR.

Nobody stands up for the oppressed straight white male with society's bootheel in their neck like the entitle MR user.
