*** The official Apple September Event Thread - Tuesday 10th September 2019 ***

I really like 3D Touch. I hardly ever use it, but for some reason I'm very fond of it. Once it's gone I'll be sad, but will not notice it's loss in the day to day use of my phone.

I find I use it quite a bit for app shortcuts and for being able to read messages without actually 'reading' it so they don't get a read report/blue ticks. Sneaky.

I'm not sure if I can watch the Apple event.

Shaved 0.1g from the weight, crowd go wild, made the phone 0.1% bigger, crowd go wild, add $200 to the price, crowd go wild, you get the idea...

I'm expecting just an incremental upgrade for the XS, maybe a high refresh rate screen as the USP, I haven't seen anything else interesting leaked.

Lets see what pricing is today then. Who things it will be more expensive than current models?

 

[Mr_Cool]

They’ll be the same price.

Not sure why people are expecting them to increase

Probably because prices usually go up? The XS and XS max are the most expensive phones so far.

If prices didn't go up, we wouldn't be paying £1249 for the top tier phone.

We’ve seen the increase I don’t feel they’ll increase anymore, anytime soon.

If there was to be an increase, then next years iPhone not this years.

Come on i'ts Apple! Base model, maybe but the Plus model will likely go up.

Haptic Touch covers the majority of use cases in iOS 13.

You basically just lose the ability to peek and then immediately pop. That’s it.

The XS cost the same as the X, only they added a 512GB tier.

I expect the X size phone to stay around the same price.

You also lose the ability to both move the cursor and select text using the same motion, but using various pressure points, which is incredibly useful for text manipulation if you learn how to use it correctly.

At least the prices of the other iPhones will come down!

 

[Steedie]

I swear you say something like this every year then come the announcement you swing the other way.

That’s me

yeah but it also takes too long compared to how quick 3D Touch was. Granted they did make it a bit faster after beta 4 but I’m still gonna miss it

Who things iOS 13 will release today or will it be a week from now?

 

[malachi]

But who wants old tech!?

[UberTiger]

Over half a million people on the YouTube live stream now!

 

[Mr_Cool]

3D Touch is a million times better than haptic Touch, it’s really not a substitute.

But we’ve lost it for good sigh.
