[Dreams-Visions]

Present!

Impress me, Apple.

 

[Farsi]

Hype for that 4K apple tv.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

May every new phone cost 2 grand.

Come on, Tim Cook. You can do it.

 

[Draper]

Oh christ, I just bought a damn iPhone 7 Plus

 

[Fuchsdh]

Apropos of nothing, but how the hell does Apple "load" anything through the loading dock if it's underground at the far end of the structure?

 

[LostMyNarbles]

I have class all day tomorrow. I hate missing these things because I love to watch alongside GAF impressions.

 

[Two Words]

Oh christ, I just bought a damn iPhone 7 Plus

Return it, now.

 

[Sage00]

Anyone look at that boat chart and rather than think 'Wow that is a big building' as intended, instead think 'Wow those boats are fucking huge?'

 

[Etzer]

I'm ready for the True Tone display on a phone. Too bad it's almost assuredly not going to be Pencil-compatible.

 

[Symphonia]

So the iOS 11 GM should be released at 6pm GMT today. Do I need a PC to download it? Or, as I’m part of the beta, do I just get an update in Settings?

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Ready to get confirmation that I'll get another year of usage out of my 6s Plus.

 

[Owari]

So stoked. Bring on the iPhone X, LTE watch and Apple TV 4K.

May every new phone cost 2 grand.

Come on, Tim Cook. You can do it.

So 1 grand more than last year. Hype.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I'm going to get out ahead of the potential marketing: inductive charging is not wireless charging!

 

[Voidance]

I'm in for an Apple Watch 3, although I'm interested in seeing the other products announced, too.

Edit: I will say that if the only notable change is the addition of LTE, I may pick up a Series 2 on sale or refurbished.

 

[Technosteve]

Happy anniversary Apple GAF, i will claw all your eyes out to get ahead of you in line for the iphone X

 

[The_Inquisitor]

I'm going to get out ahead of the potential marketing: inductive charging is not wireless charging!

The EE in me wants to slap you for saying that lol.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

About time.

 

[Anth0ny]

Ready for a courageous keynote.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

got my 1500 Canadian after taxes ready.

 

[Blackhead]

all left to be revealed is the price

 

[Orkidea]

That loading dock doesn't make sense

 

[infiniteloop]

iPhone X - will buy
Watch - probs not, still rocking my Series 0
Apple TV - depends. Might just get the new remote if it's backwards compatible with the current one.

 

[giga]

all left to be revealed is the price

Outside of the Apple Watch, I don't believe we've seen the actual hardware of the devices, only mockups.

Apropos of nothing, but how the hell does Apple "load" anything through the loading dock if it's underground at the far end of the structure?

 

[Technosteve]

I like the use of the iOS 11 wallpaper for the OT

 

[Charcoal]

I love my OnePlus 3T, but I'm super excited to switch back to ios. Hoping for great things tomorrow!

Does anyone know if it's possible to join the Apple upgrade program without being a current customer of AT&T, Verizon, etc? I'm going to move to one of them, but I want to pre-order as soon as they open the flood gates.

 

[TylerD]

Still happy with my 6S plus but I'm in for the GAF hype and I can't ever miss Apple's keynotes. Should be fun!

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Should consider adding a counter to the OP for every time someone shitposts about “courage” like it’s not a year old joke.

 

[Saren is Bad]

So how does preordering work with the iPhone upgrade program? Is it easy or going to be a huge pain in the ass?

 

[JABEE]

iPhone X is exciting

Are people who use cases pretty much locked out of inductive charging?

 

[infiniteloop]

Things I’m curious about that haven’t leaked:

- New Siri remote for Apple TV. TouchID maybe?
- New software features for ATV 4K outside of improved picture quality (if any)
- Any changes to iTunes for Mac, or just 12.7 to support the 4K video?
- High Sierra public release. Sept 27th?
- Apple Watch… anything new other than LTE + new SIP?

 

[TheZink]

Every time I think I’m out they pull me back in. I’m ready.

 

[Pein]

I hope the 8 doesn't blow because I need that home button

 

[3DShovel]

Holy shit @ the thread title.

Can’t wait for this event. Apple events are always exciting.

 

[McHuj]

Honestly I'm most interested in camera improvements. That would be the biggest factor in me deciding to upgrade or not.

 

[Dany]

I got 1000 stored under my mattress. I'm ready

 

[Quick]

Subbed.

Gimme dat iOS 11 and dem iPhone and Apple Watch deets.

 

[dallow_bg]

Gimmie the X.

 

[Uno Venova]

The 8 is going look amazing.

APPLTV is probably going to be way overpriced and I'll go for the new FIRETV.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Looking forward to the trickle-down discounts on the iPhone 7's and 6s's once the 8's and the X come out.

I kinda want an iphone along with my android, but I don't want to spend full price on one, especially if I want a minimum of 128gb.

APPLTV is probably going to be way overpriced and I'll go for the new FIRETV.

Yeah, I'm leaning more toward the FireTV too, depending on how much they are. Helps that I have some Echo Dots which is nice for the FireTV, while I'd probably need Apple's speaker in order to have any voice control of the new Apple TV (without a remote or phone).

 

[Thoraxes]

Wonder if they'll do a refresh on the Touch since they just dropped the price of their current gen ones a month or so ago. Reeked of a 'cleaning out the stock to make way for the new stuff' kind of move.

 

[sc0la]

Thread title is omg

 

[KevinG]

Need that OLED.

 

[Your Entertainer]

My body is ready

 

[SoundofSilence]

And one more thing...

iPhone SE 2

 

[Black Republican]

Apple Watch again?

didnt the original underwhelm? i guess it improved alot cause i remember it was initially disliked by fans

 

[serenewarfare]

And one more thing...

iPhone SE 2

Nah, that will probably be announced in the Spring like the original SE was.

 

[Breakage]

So let me get this straight: the iPhone X will be the radically redesigned iPhone (notch, no home button) and the iPhone 8 will be an upgraded but aesthetically similar iPhone 7. Am I correct?

 

[SoundofSilence]

Nah, that will probably be announced in the Spring like the original SE was.

I know dude. Just give a man a minute to dream.

 

[giga]

The 8 will have a glass back for inductive charging but the front will be similar yes.
