Apple September Event - 12th September 2023 @ 18:00 BST

[Cromulent]

So the big day is nearly here. After a lot of thinking, I'm not going to upgrade anything this year. I want to start a business and I'm saving up for that. On the other hand, new operating system releases will be fun and I'm looking forward to trying them out for the first time as I haven't used any of the betas. What are you all looking forward to?

That's what they all say

That's what they all say

I'm weak. So very weak .

You realise you’re saying that to the weakest man on the forum, upgrade wise?

 

[Bluecube]

Definitely no upgrades this year for despite needing a new iPad Pro. Apple stuff is getting a smidgin too pricey these days

Dont think the ipad pro is due an update yet is it?

 

[ddoubleep]

USB-C iPhone will be spun as a new feature

 

[Mesai]

Unless the new watch is something special, my wallet will remain in a healthy state.

 

[ChrisD.]

Doubt I will this year. But most likely will.

Not that I’m aware but I was just using that as an example

Hoping for better battery. Not got one as lasting a mere 24 hours isn't great. I know you can charge quickly but I would hate removing it. Garmin and the others have got more battery albeit less features. 48-72 hours is probably not possible but wishful thinking.

If they released an Ultra 2 you could wait for the price drop on last year's Ultra.

I'm still on a Watch 4, so might be tempted by a 9 this year, especially as I can get most of it paid through my life insurance (Vitality).

What health metrics aren't available on the watch yet for them to announce this year?

Blood pressure and blood glucose would both be cool, but I got the impression these were still years away.

I’ve still got an iPhone 12 Pro Max. If the new iPhone is a massive jump up then I’ll consider one, otherwise this’ll do me for another year.

Unlikely to be a major jump apart from the usual 'better' camera, 'faster' to open Safari et al and the inevitable price hike. Saying that I have been a Pixel user since 2016 and fancy a change for longer iOS support over the Pixel.

 

[Stu999]

Hoping for some new cables

Edit - have they actually announced a date? If not, vote ban OP.

 

[Zeebedy]

i love my 13 pro max, i usually upgrade but i can see this lasting 2-3 more years before it becomes "unusable".

Same here. I like shiny things but there is nothing I can't do on the 13PM so I'm just going to leave it (unless something amazing comes out).

Safari is always snappier

I'm excited about a Pro model with titanium rails. Sounds silly but I hate the glossy stainless steel and the extra weight it adds.
