New iPhones Incoming!

[Webzcas]

The latest Apple Event kicks off in just over two hours and as a result the Apple Store is now closed due to 'updates'.

Personally the new phone would have to be awesome for me to upgrade from my iPhone 13, which is still more than capable for my needs. It records video in 4K at 60fps and has more than enough storage. But yes, I will be watching every second of the event

Not a fan @Webzcas - samsungs all the way for me

Same with playstation (used to be an Xbox fan but switched and never looked back)

I am sure the new iPhone will be around £1200 and people.will be queuing for hours to get it

 

[Webzcas]

I am 'All In' on the Apple Ecosystem here ( My office alone has a 2020 27' iMac, a 14' M2 Pro Macbook Pro, 2015 15' Macbook Pro and in my desk cupboard, my Headless AI Server I call HAL, which is an M3 Ultra Mac Studio ).

Whilst Samsung make cracking phones, I love iOS and for me, Android like how I am with MS Windows, I just can't get on with.

Playstation I am in full agreement with you

 

[racingcat]

enough of the apple maniacs will buy it just to have the new one.

its easy money for apple.

its similar to blanciaga imo^^

 

[Webzcas]

As soon as Apple nail down an approved and accurate blood glucose level in their watch, I will upgrade from my Series 9. Until then I am more than happy with it. It is brilliant when I am at the gym.

 

[lucks_maximus]

Whenever they improve the displays with respect to eye-sensitivity (e.g. pulse-width modulation, temporal dithering), I'll consider one. Samsung is even worse in that regard.

Sticking with Motorola.

 

[Webzcas]

Yeah one of the reasons I now wear varifocals and glasses all the time. Can't read my watch or phone without glasses lol

 

[andysbetting1187]

Is it just me who.misses the old Nokia 3210

 

[Webzcas]

Not impressed by the iPhone Duo or the price tag of £1999!!!

What the?!!

What the?!!

Ive had cars that are way less than that price tag

 

[dunover]

Is it that stupid flip thing for one fucking thousand, nine sodding hundred and ninety-nine quid?

Looks like a Gideon bible from some dodgy hotel room until the screen lights up.

Mind you, when they don't sell they can flog 'em off cheap to the FA who can use them to replace the referees' notebooks.

 

[Webzcas]

Is it that stupid flip thing for one fucking thousand, nine sodding hundred and ninety-nine quid?

Yep, that's the one. It is hideous and very impractical. It will bomb and not sell well at all. Far too expensive as well. I mean 2 grand on a phone. Good grief!

 

[sufferinsilence]

I can buy about 8 phones for that pricetag...

 

[teckiwi]

Like the vision pro Apple might be 5-10 years ahead of the times for such high quality devices becoming more mainstream at a decent pricepoint. Most of the use cases seemed pointless for the new iPhone.

It still blows my mind you can buy a macbook, airpods, iphone and ipad for around the same money their highest end laptops used to cost.

 

[Wait!What?]

High time we have a CM comp where the first prize is the iPhone. The recent one.

 

[philderby]

Think I'll stick with my battle hardened galaxy s21. Yes its 5 years old, and planning to run it into the ground. The day it doesn't turn on I'll get a new phone

100% - that's exactly what I did with my S8 - when it died got the S22 - when the 22 goes will just get another Samsung. I really like them

I have the S20 Ultra with the stylus from 4-5 years back, superb phone still great for my needs, cost over a grand but every year it still performs the average cost reduces. I know from experience @Webzcas is impressed with the images/camera on it lol

Two questions please Mr D.

Have you ever lost the stylus? It's always put me off getting one

What type of images have you been sending @Webzcas (appreciate it's a public forum so may not be able to disclose)

 

[Lemon]

Two grand for a phone you can barely fit in your pocket? I'd rather punt the money on 90% RTP Big Bass Bullshit slots at William Hill.

Nope, it's very well clicked in the base and secondly, never used it!

Sent him images of iGB at Excel and his shrine (the Grapple Store in Covent Garden) if you must know.

That is a great idea! I will look into whether this is actually possible.

 

[Webzcas]

Yes, superior than my iPhone 13, certainly the magnification. But lets be honest, yes I could be called an 'Apple Fanboy', but it is known fact the cameras on the Samsung phones are superior. Just a shame they run Android software!

 

[Webzcas]

and his shrine (the Grapple Store in Covent Garden) if you must know.

The same Apple Store a couple of years ago I took you around and converted you to the 'Dark Side' if I recall correctly

What phone did you buy your daughter, please remind me!

 

[Wait!What?]

That is a great idea! I will look into whether this is actually possible.

Are you joking? Because I was.

But if it does happen it would be awesome. Also there should be cash alternative if someone doesn't want the phone.

 

[Webzcas]

No not joking. I can certainly enquire and ascertain whether we could offer alternatives to cash prizes. I also think it could liven the comps up somewhat. I mean cash is great, but a quality prize sometimes can outweigh it.

If you don't ask, you'll never find out

 

[Webzcas]

I concur

Right - with the assistance of Big Time Gaming I have pre-ordered a brand new Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max. I have fallen for the hype and now we will be 100% Apple iPhones in this house.

My hitherto brilliant Samsung S20 Ultra Pro and it's digital flip case are 6 years old so time to update. I'm going to factory reset it, as it's in mint condition with stylus etc. and still holds battery charge for 2 days and has always been in case and had screen protectors both on front and camera assembly on back, I'm going to box it up and eBay it. Best phone I ever had, hope Apple doesn't disappoint!

£1299 quid plus ordered a silicone case, screen protectors and proper Apple mag charger 20-30w which was another £46 combined, but will get £20 cashback via TCB's listing of Carphone Warehouse/Dixons. So £1325 in total.

This means at £4 I need a quick Bonanza 328x bet feature.

Tell me @Webzcas I have done the right thing lol

 

[Webzcas]

WOAH! Ok time to tag a few people LOL

@pereblue @maxd

I should be on commission with Apple!

can you put the ebay link up (or PM it to me please mate) as would be interested in this

I’m tempted to get an 18 but my 13 pro max is still holding up well so it’s a want rather than a need.

On a remotely related subject, I was pretty dark when Apple announced earlier this year that the Apple Watch Ultra 1 would not get watchOS 27. The thought of my 2.5 year old device not being supported with new OS updates was a hard one to swallow.

Then last week I noticed that my watch had an update to 27 waiting, which completely confused me. After a while I decided to give it a go thinking I could very well brick my device. The update completed successfully. It was at this point I discovered I had an Ultra 2! I’m normally all over this stuff, and could tell you exactly what generation each of the other nine Apple devices I have in my household are.

I think my confusion stemmed from the fact I thought the Ultra 2 was released in black only. Anyway a nice surprise to find my watch is still “current”, at least for the next 12 months!
