Ready for an upgrade for my 7 and Version 1 Apple Watch.

Not sure if I'm ready to go Plus size yet, but my eyesight is possibly needing the move...

I also have one of the very first watches. It still works well but the battery dies early in exercise mode. Hope they announce an improvement.

Surprise surprise, my first series watch has been playing up lately, going to the US in a few months, may need to invest in a new one.

Quite the shopping list for me, I think.

1. The new AirPods (if they actually are announced, if not the current ones with the new case!).
2. Series 4 Watch (finally time to retire my Series 0).
3.The bigger iPhone X replacement option (have the current iPhone X and really miss the bigger screen of my previous 6s Plus!).

Just a new iPad Pro for me, having the original 12.7" one. I'll be interested to see what the iPhone XS brings to the table over my X, but this might be the first year I don't upgrade.

I'm not sure it is a coincidence that my iPhone 7 prompted me that it is feeling "a bit full" this morning...

There are better options out there than AirPods surely?

Hmm, 4 days ago my iMac said 'i'm full'. Never thought I'd max out a 1T drive

Some rumour suggesting no new iPad pros today https://www.macrumors.com/2018/09/12/leak-suggests...

one upgrade i've just realised is never mentioned, but I'm sure would be huge winner with apple users......... increase the amount of icloud data you get for free.

I know they dont actually charge that much for extra, but when you pay a premium for the products, surely they could give 10/20/50gb free?!?!?!?

On that one I’d say you’ve got Bob Hope chance.

Yup. You're forgetting Apple are absolute

Which is one of the reasons why you also won't see a 128GB version. The size most people actually need/want.

It might just be SEO geeks like me that found how these names came out interesting!

Yup. You're forgetting Apple are absolute w.ankers.

not a fan, then?

[oobster]

When do we reckon the new announcements will be available to order?

I'm impatient, however my daughter (who'll be getting my current 6+) is even more so!!

[p1stonhead]

Time to upgrade my 6s I think. Getting a bit battered and bruised!

oh i completely agree, its just never going to happen. its just in amongst all the new releases, the higher prices blah blah blah...... its something that just never gets mentioned but i think one that would be a huge crowd pleaser!

but hey ho, i'll no doubt upgrade my iphone 7 to the new iphone x (normal sized), the 7 is still fine. I just like new shiny things....... i did manage to hold off and not buy the X when it came out..... so at least I've kinda broken the cycle.

Here we see lots of people falling for marketing gimmicks to spend significant money for minor upgrades

[Yidwann]

The past 3 or 4 cycles I have said, no need to upgrade.... still running an iPhone 6, but the antenna died in that last week, if it could have just lasted a few more weeks.

I also said I was happy with the 6, then work threw me a 8 Plus.... and, I actually, love the bigger size, the screen is so much better and the camera, with the dual lense, is incredible!

So after 4 years, I think I can justify an upgrade to the larger X that is due... still gonna be hard to swallow the 1k price though!

True, but the screen goes right to the edge and apps load .01 of a second quicker and I can call people and send messages.
