And if so, what are you getting?
I had been planning to upgrade this year, but haven’t been massively swayed by any of the phones. I can afford to upgrade, and would get £220 trade in with Apple which I’m unlikely to get next year, but battery health is still 83% for me after 4 years and easily sees me through the day. Any recommendations would be good, even if that’s to sit out an upgrade this year.
So am I. I’m gutted it wasn’t announced yesterday, it would have been an instant purchase.
Rumors are perhaps pointing towards a planned October announcement.
I hope so. I’ve been holding off just getting another 4K for the TV that doesn’t have one for so long now, under the assumption that a new one would be announced, but each event has let me down. To be honest, the current 4K is already excellent but I’d be gutted if I bought one and then a new model comes out the following week.
I hope it’s gaming focused. Apple is slowly moving towards AAA gaming, and now with the newest silicon able to do hardware level raytracing, it’s time they go into the living room. If a phone can do AAA games why can’t a apple micro console?
Can you imagine if Apple charges $99 for it again and you can play AAA games on it? Would bring some needed competition into the gaming space
I wish Apple would apply at least a little pressure on devs to make all their iOS games playable on M series Macs.
I played a beta of Warframe on my M1 and it had a few easily smoothed out oddities with dealing with Mac interface issues, but was otherwise fine. Once it released for real, it could no longer be played on my Mac. You just can’t download it.
Wait — According to you, this thread is exclusively about which iPhone we planned to buy. 🙄
That was the question, yes, and clearly that was the implication.
My suggestion that the other commenter probably didn’t need to post their purchasing intent on a literal apple enthusiast community was based on the recommendation being nothing to do with Apple, and almost every sentence in it focusing on a political justification. There are countless communities more appropriate for those discussions on Lemmy.
That user had already decided they weren’t buying any Apple product anymore. That’s fine and I wish them well, but it doesn’t answer my question, isn’t related to the Apple event I referenced, was contra to the phrase Apple Enthusiast, and to be honest was tedious.
Sometimes people just want to buy some technology, not be lectured about monopolies, fascism and EU policy. Not every thread on this platform needs to be an exercise in holier-than-thou, guilt-based anti-capitalism.
