Cost savings? Given that those 5G modems have probably costed them a lot already.

Too late in the design phase to change it for masks?? I phones tent to have more protective cases. I think all the apple cases cover the lock button, leather, silicone and polycarb. They may consider it for next year though.
Apparently the Beats page has been taken down from the store, so the AirPods Studio rumours are flying again.

FaceID is absolutely amazing and I wouldn't got back to a phone with touchID. I don't care that I have to type in my passcode a few times when I am buying something in a shop. The other 99% of the time matters more to me and faceID is amazing.
Its not even slower in shops most of the time as you are waiting for either a card reader or someone on the checkout to be ready for your phone so you just double tap the power button and stick in your passcode ready to go.
I still have an iPhone X and the other thing that would make me upgrade is if they have a 120hz display, USB-C connector and perhaps faster wireless charging. My X is fast enough, I don't care about having a slightly better camera or a slightly faster phone.
This is precisely why Apple moved to their crazy pricing and now offer so many lower grade options. Its hard to justify £1000 for a new iPhone even when your current one is 3 years old. There simply isn't enough of an improvement to make it worthwhile for the majority of people.

Do we think they will announce the first silicone based mac at this event? I've got an insurance payout to replace my 2014 Macbook Pro but undecided whether to just order now (as I need a laptop really) or do I wait to see if they release a 14" with the new silicone which could take my fancy...
no, they want all the focus on iphones. rumour is November for first ARM mac announcement
Yeah I'm with you on this, the X was truly exceptional. Has lasted 3 years no problem, my only question is will it last 4? I don't want to get halfway then need to replace it and be mid-cycle, because of that I'll probably get a 12 Pro. Must have 120hz though.
Man logic at its finest! :lol:

Yeah, there is honestly very little that will surprise anyone who follows these things tomorrow. Its more the small implementation details and some more info on what we already broadly know. They still pull out the occasional surprise but 95% of it is known ahead of time.
I like the car and I'm less fussed about phone operating systems than most people on here
I do miss the times when things were only peoples rumours, and then Apple would pull out something different with a load of things they were working on. Now it's just a watch to confirm what we've already learned.

I'm happy as long as I can get the Max Pro model this month, but seems unlikely
As if by magic, my XS Max appears to be playing up... The only thing that is working as normal is a couple of apps, being Amazon, eBay and my bloody work emails!

To be fair, its quite easy to stay away from rumours if you want to. Unless I went looking for them I would have 0 trouble going into each iPhone presentation completely blind.
The incentive to leak is far too high these days, it’s got to the point now where companies end up leaking their own products on purpose to build hype/test the market.
The devices are now so complex, there is so many people involved in the supply chain, the chances of keeping something secret is slim.

I’m happy not to hear rumors and to go into every tech presentation blind. I hate rumors they spoil what’s coming.

I’m generally the same but for some reason, I’ve been drawn in this year. I don’t expect any surprises at all.
