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

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?

 

[Cromulent]

That's what they all say

I'm weak. So very weak .

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 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).

September the 12th seems to be the date. Even though I'm not buying anything this year I am quite excited and also looking forward to updating all my devices.

Woop! 12th of September!

It's that time of year again where I get one eye on the Apple event and consider a purchase, only to remember the decade out of date UI it's going to be loaded with - which is a pity because the build quality is second to none.

I was just watching a video about Android 14. I've never had a problem with Android. In fact when I had an Android phone I really liked it but I just prefer to keep things simple. The one feature on iPhones that is amazing is AirDrop. I use it all the time.

I know it'll never happen but if Apple made the Pencil 2 work with iPhones I would upgrade instantly.

 

[Cromulent]

my gen 3 ipad is seriously rubbish these days ... i need to pull the pin on something less stone-age, maybe new Air 6 if its not daft money?

You could get a second hand iPad Pro M1 11" for a decent price.

 

[Cromulent]

What, a stylus?

Steve Jobs has probably turned in his grave.

 

[Cromulent]

Won't be getting any new hardware this year, so my excitement is limited to getting the iOS 17 RC which should drop shortly after the event

Same here.

 

[Cromulent]

Here we go.

 

[Cromulent]

I'm going to skip the iPhone 15 Pro Max even though I really want it. I think the longer term plan of saving money for my business is the better choice.

 

[Cromulent]

I just want all the software updates to be released ASAP.
