Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Well yes, me too...

It's not for sinister reasons and wouldn't be overused; just for seeing if he made it on to the bus on time, etc.

Wait - a "pro-focused mac mini"?

only interested if I can upgrade memory

All I want is a gigabyte brix that runs OSX

Already pre ordered.

I'd love for someone else to pay for that!

What does everyone think of the new xesssssss?

Save your money and get the XR instead, same phone and features just with lower grade materials and a couple hundreds of pounds saved in the pocket. Also comes in a range of colours too!

And no screen burn-in.

The new phone names are burning my eyes.

Meh...

Also, WTF Apple, work in 32bit yeah?

New phones looks big, no?

I think my 6s is on the big side tbh, at times I struggle to use it with one hand and I've got fairly big hands (fnar fnar)

Are they ditching the iPhone X then? Doesn't seem like it'll slot in as a cheaper option as last years model normally does

Yup - discontinued

Not only that, looks like they're ditching the SE already. Had hoped for some sort of SE2 but discontinuing everything that size is annoying.

Was hoping that SEs would get cheaper on eBay but if they're discontinuing them it may push the price up...

Yeah, disappointed to see that as the SE's been a fantastic phone for me. Occasionally think it'd be nice to have a bigger screen to watch stuff on the commute or travelling, but the convenience of the small form handset far outweighs that.

We were looking to upgrade my wife's 6 following the announcement and was really hoping there'd be an SE2 to move onto. Now working out if it's worth persuading her the SE's small screen isn't really a hindrance, moving her onto the 7 as she's said that's all she needs or just lumping for the XR as it's the latest and in the overall scheme of things what's an extra £x00...

Bloody Apple!

Occasionally think it'd be nice to have a bigger screen to watch stuff on the commute or travelling, but the convenience of the small form handset far outweighs that.

Definitely.
People should get a fucking iPad if they want to watch movies while walking on the sidewalk.
Those huge phones are getting ridiculous.
I mean how much screen space do you actually need?
Wouldn't it be nice to actually be able to fit the fucking thing in your pocket?

Cycling or sitting down with a 6s in jean pockets isn’t comfortable. The XR is definitely too big. Was hoping it was the same size as the 6/7/8.

XR is overpriced with a relatively shit screen.

Also the naming conventions are odd. Kind of understand why they didn't want to go for XS, but what was wrong with Plus? Max is just naff.

Ill get a Series 4 watch though.

Would love to play with those new cameras though, gotta say this looks very promising (again)..

Is the hardware new? I thought I read that it was just software changes in processing.

I'm not sure to be honest, I read something about depth somethig something and saw some bokeh blobs and was sold.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I really don't want anything bigger than my 6 (which may, or may not, be an S).

Are they trying to position the watch as the thing you have on you and the phone as the thing that goes in a bag?

Are they in store already? Might go and check them out on Monday to see how big they actually are
