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

Weird that all the blurb is highlighting 'Fast Charge' 18w USB-C as a new feature despite it being introduced on the X?

 

[iMacMart]

Don't see why not, their trade in scheme is still going.

£60 trade in for my Apple Watch 4

How come the these new iPhones don't use USB C connection, was expecting them to have this now?

Remember Apple is always last to the market, next year iPhone 11s with USB C and 5G support.

Again they will pass them off as an revolutionary thing.

 

[VaderDSL]

Wonder if they'll go USB4 for the next one considering they are a big advocate for Thunderbolt.

 

[labcoattech]

They provide a USB C charger with a USB C to Lighting cable

I might wait now, was going to get a iPhone 11 pro later this year, but as much as its a minor thing, it would be nice to have a few devices with the same connection. I got an iPad pro this year that has USB C, so was expecting the iPhone 11 to have this as well.

Quoted for nonsense.

 

[antijoke]

Gosh!

I remember the days you could get the latest flagship phone on a £35 month contract for 12 months. Times have changed.

Phones are now a lot more expensive, I’m not sure what you really expect the networks won’t give the phones for free

 

[haszek]

Yes and no. How long will it take for 802.11ax to be common enough to benefit from it?

Sooner than 5G besides this makes it a bit more future proof if you buy one phone every few years.

 

[labcoattech]

why do they still offer 64GB? it should be 128, 256 or 512.

I'm all for them having 128gb as a base, but providing they can keep costs down, I have 57gb available on my iPhone SE 64gb that Ive had since 2016. I don't have many apps on my phone though or take tons of photos.

 

[Bluecube]

With regards to the iPhone upgrade programme. Am I right in thinking that if you upgrade after 11 months to the latest iPhone, then the loan payments will increase if the latest iPhone is more expensive than the previous one?

 

[Robert]

Still got my 6s...choices! Tempted by the 64 pro, just not sure how to buy.

I'm content with my 6S at the moment no reason to change.

 

[malachi]

Quoted for nonsense.

Why?

 

[labcoattech]

The Mrs has a 6s plus which she is happy with, she did get the battery replaced when Apple were offering the discounted battery replacement. I will have to look at getting her a new phone once Apple stops providing updates for the 6s.

 

[mrochester]

Why?

Presumably because it isn’t true?

 

[ChrisD.]

Why?

Because they are not always last to market and we already know next years' iPhone is not going to simply be an 11 Pro S or whatever.

Because I'm pretty sure that although the X had fast charge you didn't get a fast charger in the box of your £1000 phone. You will with the new pro.
