***Official Apple October 13 @ 18:00 BST iPhone Reveal Thread***

The ProRAW still will be quite useful to a lot of people - perhaps not normies so much - but I'd use it (next year... don't need a new phone now). Video as usual looks mental. I often take photos/videos for someone I'm close with for her social media as I enjoy pretending I'm a photographer who knows what they're doing on my 11 Pro Max and even with some simple editing on Lightroom on her phone they look ridiculously good, so I love a good camera upgrade.

I dunno. Lightning just feels sturdier than usbc. I don’t really give two hoots as long as it charges.

 

[Throrik]

funny thing is, every other “pro” product they have uses USBC

I know, but iPhone is their baby, and it's the last bastion of lightning. I don't think iPhone will gain all the benefits of the iPad for putting USB-C in, but I still wish they would. My single cable setup requires it!

If they moved away from Lightning people would complain too as they would need adapters for old accessaries. Can't win either way.

That's true, but video isn't exactly on the top of wants from people.

What about USB / get rid of the notch etc

Who cares about the notch/USB other than tech enthusiasts?

Video and camera quality will be what most regular folk care about, youtube, instagram tiktok etc. etc.

 

[ALD]

I never understood the notch issue, but I do agree on USB/Lightning, but they don't want to fully give up on Lightning because it's their baby. But I think they will eventually.

They will drop the port completely so they can sell us all a MagSafe.

 

[Spit]

I am quite shocked that the notch has stayed the same for a 4th time.

 

[Cleisthenes]

Nice of them to keep the price the same

crikey I think you're on to something there!

I still miss MagSafe v1.

 

[JUMPURS]

November for pro sucks

 

[Feek]

Nice of them to keep the price the same

Unless I misunderstood it, the base memory has doubled.

It's been quite clear this is the direction Apple are taking it long term. I don't think we'll see USB-C at all, they'll keep lightning until they can drop the port completely.

 

[Somnambulist]

Yes it's obvious they'll eventually make the iPhone port-free eventually - charging? Wireless. Earphones? Bluetooth/wireless. Data transfer? Who uses a cable for that now anyway?

The iPad Pro still has some realistic case uses for needing the USB-C port but for how people use phones now and the move to wireless audio (I don't see ANYONE in the two different gyms I use now using wired stuff) it seems a bit redundant.

 

[uvarvu]

Yep 128 is perfect for me. 64 was too small.

 

[Mr_Cool]

3 biggest things people wanted hasn’t been addressed this year.

1) Smaller notch
2) 120hz
3) USB C

I mean we’ve known for a while those 3 weren’t happening, bar 120hz which had a little resurgence in the rumour mill.

But regarding the Notch at least, it’s kinda justified considering the tech. Not there for the sake of it, but I think Apple are aiming to completely remove rather than make it smaller.


128 should be base for all models tbh but glad to see they’ve finally upped it for the Pro models.

Still I paid less than the RRP for my 256GB 11 Pro, which is overkill but glad to see I got money’s worth.

 

[Throrik]

Unless I misunderstood it, the base memory has doubled.

Yep, 128GB as standard.

 

[Combat squirrel]

Not gonna lie the pro max camera system has hugely intruiged me, darn I didn't wanna buy a new phone....but wow it's nice!

 

[kitkat9933]

And no release date for Big Sur

 

[Steedie]

Blown away by the Pro Max camera improvements. Blue Pro Max for me

 

[DRneocortez]

Nice of them to keep the price the same

But they double the initial memory capacity. And increase the display size

This is one of the best value upgrades yet.
