IPhone should officially be renamed to "SamePhone"

[hitf]

This seems like the year of not upgrading.

[AR-ypnh]

Apple official channel blocked comments very sneaky and fishy😒

[DanT-hs]

How much energy is wasted by all the people who have to keep their TV on waiting for a scheduled event like CNET on YouTube that doesn't start until 40 minutes after it's scheduled?

[l-b]

It truly was the most non-innoative keynote of all time. I have just left the apple ecosystem because of the lack of innovation I just don't get the excitement anymore. I recently got the pixel pro 9 fold and I was so excited and still am with this device it's a marvel to mobile technology. Apple needs to reimagine itself and find its creativity again.

[advicewrileyyy]

For those who were complaining, what did you actually expect?

[hitf]

Oh, one thing I like about the new Apple Watch was the speaker. I think this would be nice, depending on how well it sounds. I often listen to music from the phone speakers and am pretty pleased with that sound quality.

Can someone explain the purpose of the physical button on the new iPhone 16 series when there's already a capture button on the screen? Which one should be considered for use?

[grumpyolman]

i was looking forward to upgrading my iphone but after seeing this i'm underwhelmed, i have an iphone 12 max pro, it does everything i need it to do so why spend money on an upgraded camera and extra button that i do not need and ai, i think i'll wait for the iphone 17, unless there's new features that have not yet been revealed on the 16 to tempt me

[RodFaria]

If the AI resources are available to my 15 Pro there’s no way I’m upgrading 😂

[stMarDivDelta]

Damn I really wanted to upgrade this year . But it’s just idk I have 12 pro max I was expecting to upgrade this time but this did not impress me at all. Not even the color selection gets me to buy it

[finchxtvofficial]

They used the term "spatial" just to make it sound more unique, moving away from the previous diagonal camera orientation. It seems like they’re running out of ideas, as there are no other options left.

[Jayden-lrmm]

What I am excited for is being the standard models getting the camera control feature and having a action button, along with the pro models getting a 6.9 inch size and the hearing aid feature on the AirPods

[conorfurlong]

My question: did all the hardware teams take the year off or what?

[AndrewGiddingsWA]

If the regular iPhone had the 5x zoom, that would be the one. I don’t need the rest of the pro only features but use the 5x a lot.

[dadwire]

Apple should return the EARPHONE jack to at least ONE IPhone & ONE Ipad..!

[gagr]

Thanks Apple…I’ll pass and wait till next year

[hitf]

Special milanese loop for ultra looks ultra cheesy! Why would anyone think this would be an appropriate band for the ultra?

[tismarns]

Good thing I didn't wait for this and got the Pixel 9 Pro XL

[ronintv]

why they never mentioned fast charging wattage?
