APPLE THREAD | Apple Event Sept. 9th 2024 10a.m. PT. | iPhone 16

[ForNarnia]

I take good care of my electronics (all my personal belongings actually) so my 6 plus is still going strong. Still looks new aside for a minor scratch. Replaced the battery in January and it performs like new again. It's running on 10.2 and I'm afraid of updating it cause you never know how a aging phone will perform on newer updates.

Very excited to see what Apple has in store for us today. I'm contempt with my current phone but if Apple wows me then I might be all in

Are y'all sure they're just skipping the S series this year?

[shotsrangout]

damn I just paid off my 7 too.. I'll probably hold off for a year or so

might go android next year anyways

 

[gil23]

How you like it? I am going from S6 to probably one of these new Iphones. Thought about S8 but may pass.

I love it, Esp after 4 years with apple (5s and 6s).
The screen is great and it runs great as well. Android really stepped it up.

not saying i'll never go back to apple though. I love both and im comfortable with using both android and ios.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

You got the sbb's on you ??

 

[W)taps]

How great would it be if Tim Cook walked out to this song

deadpool film milked this song too much.

 

[djlunchbox]

Man this limited amount BS is getting old. Some might want that new blush copper or whatever but i'm good with black.

Looking over the pockets i might have to hold off unless i'm really blown away this might be a pass for now.

We'll see what's gucci in an hour.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

i'm gonna try and pre order, but i'm actually fine with missing and waiting till they make more

 

[gil23]

You got the sbb's on you ??

Only one of my pairs .. pull up.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

That'll work

omw

Unless the phone is the size of Plus, I'm not seeing the benefit of the X

[kvsm23vs24]

I'm get this big size phone. I always got the 4.7. This should be nice.

Unless the phone is the size of Plus, I'm not seeing the benefit of the X

What do you mean? The plus is big because of the screen

The screen on the X overall will be bigger while being smaller

 

[djaward]

Im still confused, these pictures with no home button, is that the 8 plus or the X?

If its the X, then will the 8 plus have a home button?

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Pretty sure the home button is dead across the board. What used to be the power button will now play that role with facial recognition for the unlock.

 

[lamekilla]

What do you mean? The plus is big because of the screen

The screen on the X overall will be bigger while being smaller

The size of the Plus is ergonomically better. It feels better in your hand gives better grip. I've never put a case on the Plus and I've yet to drop it because of its weight and grip in my hand. When I had the smaller phones I constantly would drop them because they're so light in my hand or it would be in my lap and I'd forget it was there before opening my car door and stepping out cause it's so light. The iphone X having that bezeless screen is nice but if it's small like the 4.7 inch I can't do it. Imagine the price of fixing that damn OLED screen this keynote has to sell me

 

[putting in work]

They have the facial recognition on the Galaxy S8, but I wasn't messing with it.

What if someone takes your phone while sleeping and holds it up to your face and you unlocks your phone?

I'm good.

I have a 6S for work and my Galaxy S8 as my regular phone so I never buy, but just curious what they come with.

We shall see momentarily.

 

[Bert.]

The X is supposed to be a little bigger than the 4.7

But we'll find out soon

I had the 6 plus and cracked my screen twice and before that I've had every single iPhone and not an issue

These phones are too slippery and way to fragile. Just because you haven't cracked a screen doesn't mean it's durable. I posted on here how a buddy literally dropped his 6 plus on the carpet and his screen cracked

It's 2017 Apple needs to be adding better glass to these phones especially if it's an all one piece screen, I'm sorry. They can water proof all they want but that means nothing to me, what's more likely to happen? Water damage or screen damage? Apple just playing games at this point

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Gonna have females pointing their mans phone at their face while their sleep trying to unlock it

lifting up their eyelids and everything lol
