Apple Product Launch 12 September

[bad company]

Apparently new products and/or updates are being announced next week.

I’m very happy with my iPhone X but I really would like an Apple iwatch with a better battery life. I have one of the originals and my 4 hour cycle ride today nearly killed it.

Any predictions?

I skipped the X as I really, really didn’t want to lose the home button. Just couldn’t gel with the X when I played with it.

I’m hoping for a decent spec, nice screen with a home button, it won’t be too groundbreaking (when is an iPhone ever?) but I’ve managed to stick with my 7 for 2 years now which for me is just amazing, it’s been superb.

I had a 6 before upgrading. The biggest improvement to me was the much better battery life though I also like the improved camera and face recognition.

Apple accidentally published a couple of images of the new iPhone XS and the Apple Watch 4 a few days ago. The watch is meant to have a 15% larger screen whilst staying the same overall size (reduced bezels) and is also rumoured to have a slightly thinner case -

It's anticipated that 3 new iPhones will be revealed, but supply may be staggered.

I'm hoping in addition to the new models, they will sneak in an updated SE model. Some are predicting the SE will not be updated, but there are one or two rumours out there that think an updated version will be announced - using the specs from a 7.

I just want a small iPhone with excellent battery life. And an updated LCD screen and CPU.

I’m hoping that after the annual iPhone launch they will refresh their MacBook range as they are 15 months old now

Try being a Mac Mini user. Current model is the 2014

My iPhone SE is perfect for my needs, but I’ve noticed in the last month that many websites have been updated to work with an assumption of higher screen resolution.

Page content, Submit buttons and form fields are unscrollably off the edge of the page etc.

normally it’s an OS update causing fatal slowness that causes me to upgrade but this time it might be screen res!

time for an SE2?

Yeah I can’t believe they are still selling that. The Mac Pro is really old too. They are becoming less and less interested in their computer range

New Mac Pro is being released next year, the iMac Pro was released as a stop gap.

I really hope they keep it going, couldn’t abide to go back to Windows....

Mine's a 3.0 Ghz i7, with 16Gb RAM and an SSD it still feels pretty sprightly

This is what I want to see. If there isn’t one, my next phone will be something that’s not an iPhone.

I just want a good, small smartphone. Still, I think I’ll get another 2-3 years out of mine before needing to replace it

[HoHoHo]

I'm looking forward to a refresh and will likely order.....

1 x new iPhone X Plus (10 or whatever it's called)
1 x new iPhone X (10 or whatever it's called)
1 x 42mm new watch
1 x 38mm new watch

Currently running 7's but I change every two years which suits me fine.

Yes, yes, yes, it's a waste of money and I'm obviously being a complete Apple Fan-Boy tt etc. etc. but it's my money I'm only living once so sod it.

[Zetec-S]

Fingers crossed it'll drive the prices down on the 7 and 8, need something to replace my 5s (although to be fair I'm not in a big rush, 4 years old and still runs ok)

[jamoor]

Hopefully they will have decent cameras, I still haven't found a camera that's better than the pixel 2.

I’m thinking the same, got a 6S and starting to contemplate an upgrade without paying the mental prices of the latest stuff.

My 6s has just come to the end of its 2 year contract and I just moved onto a sim-only deal with Vodafone - £19 a month for 18Gb of data, free calls and free texts as well as European roaming. There's just nothing I can see that's worth upgrading for at the minute so unless Apple pull something out of the bag that suits my needs, I'll stick with what I have.

The lack of headphone jack has also put me off the new ones as well. I don't really want to buy Bluetooth headphones.

I'm probably going to upgrade my 7 to the new XS. I managed to not go for the X when it came out I wasnt sure how the face ID was going to work. but it seems to have been fairly accepted by everyone and quite fancy something new and shiny.

im interested to see what the prices are for the new phones. will they hold them at the £1k (or more depending on storage), or will they drop them down a bit?!?!?

[Leonard Stanley]

I love my 8 plus - for battery life alone. Getting 36 hours or more.

If they bring out a bigger plus (maybe coffee table size), even happier days.
