Apple Press Event

[Mandeemoo007]

So big things are happening today. Apple has just announced some new versions of products and a brand new product. iPhone 7 and 7 Plus got announced, with an upgraded processor, better camera, pressure sensitive home button, stereo speakers, a brighter screen, longer battery life, no headphone jack and comes with lightning port earbuds, storage starting at 32GB, not 16GB (thank god) and out with the space grey and in with the black and jet black finishes. It's also water resistant. The 7 Plus has two cameras and everything else is the same but bigger. Then they announced the upgraded version of the Apple Watch. Its harder (new ceramic version that's 4x stronger than steel), better (water resistant, has built in GPS, way brighter screen), faster (dual core processor), and stronger (Pokemon Go partnership, even though no one plays it anymore, and a Nike one to make people more fit!). They also announced completely wireless earbuds called AirPods. They are pretty weird and look a bit ridiculous. In case you didn't retain anything you just read, or just don't feel like reading anything I typed, check out this even quicker video that Apple made that explains the event in 107 seconds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeoUELDgyM4

I enjoy my iPhone 6... All I can say is that I won't buy an iPhone next time if this looks > functionality trend continues.

Like come on?! No headphone jack?! Ridiculous.

What I think Apple is trying to do is shift the market to go wireless, or at least Bluetooth earbuds because they are the future of music consumption.

More likely just making it so you have to buy apple accessories instead of third party.

To be honest I don't mind what they did with the headphone jack. The wireless buds have a 6 hr battery life which is honestly super nice and convenient.

 

The only issue is that someone like me with an expensive set of Headphones can't really appreciate the 7. Anyway I probably won't buy it, I'm happy with my phone.

I'm a bit torn over the headphone jack thing. On one hand, when I'm at work I use bluetooth with our radio so I'm fine there. On the other, I use AUX when driving and I hate that I'll need a separate piece of hardware to use my phone in the car. I'm fine with my iphone 6s right now and don't plan on upgrading till at least next year so I'll see what's out there then. I'd prefer to stay in the iphone family since that's what I'm so used to, most people I know have iphones, and a lot of my music library is with itunes.

Have you ever had a phone that runs android? I get that you're used to iOS but as some one who has used both for lengthy amounts of time i'd say once you get used to the android platform you wont wanna go back to iOS.

 

also that last bit about itunes doesnt matter as long as you have the files on your pc.

Totally right

 

Switched from iOS to android, never came back.

 

 

Also, this AUX thing is fucking ridiculous. I don't even see why anyone would buy that phone, if your earphones break, gotta purchase THOSE expensive fucks.

I hate itunes and their ridiculous app, I can never buy any iPhones anymore.
