Apple Event - Wednesday, September 12

The larger GPS + Cellular Aluminium Apple Watch is up from £429 last year to £529 this year. That's one hell of a hike.

Upgrading from a 7+ 256GB, originally I wanted the XS 256GB. Now I've seen that the XR has a lot of the features... I'm edging towards the XR.

I like my photography and have taken some great photos with my 7+. I'm wondering if I'll miss the second camera and OLED.

Shame no 128gb on the xs. Think that is the sweet spot

And should have been base storage, can't believe they're still charging £999 for 64GB, pathetic.

Not sure If I'm gonna pre-order, I like the XS dont get me wrong but price just re-inforced that my 7 is still fine for the most part.

No 3.5mm adaptor in the box this year.

Wonder if you’ll be able to pick up some old X stock for a reasonable price

Mr_Cool · 12 Sep 2018 at 19:58

XS Max comes in at 208g

I can't be bothered with going into store. I have a £5k plus VAT bill at the end of the month and I don't really have a spare grand and a bit laying around so I think I'll stick with my X for a while yet.

The Xr actually feels too close to the Xs. How will Apple cripple it? Will it not have the gimmicks like the Animoji etc?

XS Max 256gb in Gold for me.
Replacing 128gb 6splus
Equiv of £1100 as I live in Dubai and the are cheaper here...even so over £1000 for a Phone!!!

Some people will want the higher res screen and better camera on the Xs

Mr_Cool · 12 Sep 2018 at 20:02

Still shipping with 5W power brick too.

I'd pay more not to have Animoji

Pricing is madness.

Think I would go for the 10R personally, seems like the sensible choice. Although having an 8 plus I am not really sure its worth it! Anyone else thinking similar?

I'll be keeping the 7+, it does everything it needs to. The only thing that tempts me is the watch.

The R still have wireless charging, still IP67 water resistance (not IP68 but I have iPhone 6). Same wide angle lens as the Xs too, same chip. Preferred size.

I will order on the 19th.
