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

Another band…
I think this one will suffice until the black/orange trail band comes….mid Nov!!!!
The Starlight Alpine loop is ok just because it’s an off white color but this one is dark & waterproof. Plus it feels less restrictive than the Alpine.

Spoiler: Comparisons

Yeah apples going to have to really do something for me to upgrade every year now. The 13 was the only phone I skipped.

I need something like a legit push to talk button on the side of the iPhone that will make it upgrade.

I miss the Nextel chirp.

 

[spizike231]

Homie said push to talk

 

[jmilionair]

Next thing you know we’ll be askin for actual keyboards buttons again lol.

 

[bonde111]

There was a company back in 2014 that made a “Blackberry looking” keyboard attachment for the iPhone. Got sued by BB for copyright infringement, and they went buh-bye.

Can't argue this seriously after upgrading to the 14.

I haven't felt the need for a yearly upgrade in some time. I have the 14PM, and I came from a 12P. I wanted the larger screen and bigger battery. I don't know if we will see major tech jumps year over year anymore. My wife asked me last night if the upgrade was everything I wanted it to be and I just said that it just works...that's good enough for me.

i’m good off push to talk. barley want to talk as it is. send me a text that way i can choose if i want to text back or not

 

[Fozz]

My wife already annoyed me with the Walkie Talkie function on the watch. This would just open more opportunities to troll me through out the day.

 

[DadNboujee]

I guess where I’m coming from is I’ve worked on a lot of construction sites and back when push to talk was a thing you can easily request for something tell someone what to do rather than trying to call them and wait for them to answer or really when you pull up to someone’s house, you just tell him come outside

If you don’t just go get a damn walkie talkie set on Amazon for like $40 b

I pray Apple never listens for a damn push to talk button on an iPhone.

I come in as much peace as I can muster but this would be horrendous on an iPhone, or any smartphone these days

I had tried the walkie watch app and disabled it instantly. **** was so ******* irritating, everyone trynna holla

 

[jmilionair]

I’ve used Siri’s incompetent *** to do a bunch of things by just speaking but this new air pods capabilities is next level.
No buttons needed…

Can’t stand people who send voice messages on WhatsApp and iMessage. **** is wild inconsiderate.

Ok folks I am having a bit of a weird issue.

I’ll be connected to my wifi and then I go and try and use safari or any web service, and nothing loads. Then I turn off wifi and the reg cell service does the same thing. I have a 12 pro max and I am on vzw.

Ive reset the whole phone and before that reset network settings and that hasnt worked. This is so frustrating.

Check icloud, safari, and all network settings. Make sure the hide IP network is turned off as well as the “beta” something. I have this issue from time to time as well and I’m pretty sure it’s because of the inability for websites to track you because the browser/wifi settings are masking your ip.

I don’t know how y’all live that
Non-Adventurous life… Couldn’t be me…

Seriously tho…
Does the Apple care + even seem like a good idea if this is indeed supposed to be indestructible? Want to do it just incase but honestly don’t see me pushing the limits of durability.

 

[freshpairs]

Anyone on the at&t next plan for phone upgrades? Yall think it’s worth the extra cost?

If it was me, I’d still get Apple Care +, per this article, it says $499 to repair it without AC+

Any word on new laptop or ipad models ? Thats what excites me most, phone upgrades are kinda mehh

 

[hennessy beach]

Yea, I'm passing on the 14 (sticking to my 12pro)
Just don't feel the necessity to upgrade, maybe the 15 will be the time.

No complaints on the Airpod pro 2's so far.

Rumor is they will be released/announced in October through a press release and not a whole event.

Gurman: New iPads and Macs May Be Announced Through Press Releases, No October Event

Apple may decide to release its remaining products for 2022, which include updated iPad Pro, Mac mini, and 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models,...

I seen this about the potential coat of repairs. Even with Apple care + repairs cost $79 I believe.
I just wonder if it’s worth it since it’s pretty indestructible to an extent.
