In for iPhone 8/X/Pro, maybe Watch Series 3, will probably pass on ATV 4K.

Very tempted to upgrade to the pro/8 from my 6.. Depends on price though.

Going to wait a while to buy one used. The new price is going to be out of my budget here in Canada.

As someone who has to sell iPhones, fuck Apple for potentially releasing so many skus. It's a nightmare. Already have to sell the 6, SE, 6S, 6S+, 7, 7+ and all the different colours and storage sizes. Urgh.

That's right. Everyone in this thread, on this board, set their retirements back
so I don't have to.
In for the iPhone X if it will be sold for 1000€ish. Will be a crazy upgrade from my 5S 👌 If it's too rich for me, I'll get one of those sexy jetblack 7+. Prices should drop significantly at retailers esp with holiday season etc.
And maybe the new 4K HDR Apple TV if they stick to the current price to replace my Shield. New Watch sounds dope but the prices are just way too high and will only go up. I'll sit it out and get the LTE version in two years time when its price has dropped to the "reasonable for smartwatch" realm.

It'll probably be a good time for me to get an iPhone 7 256GB. Ha ha.
Next year's lineup will be: iPhone 7S, iPhone 7S Plus, iPhone 8S, iPhone 8S Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 9

pretty excited for this one. First time getting an iPhone day one.
Coming from a basic 6, the 8/X will be a great upgrade.

By the year 2020 there will be more current iPhone models than there are people in the world.

Hopefully the edge to edge OLED screen is not the main feature of the new iPhone.
I'm very interested in the 4K Apple TV, though.

multiple "main" features. 3D IR facial recognition for unlocking, probably some sort of eye gesture thing, edge to edge OLED, I'm assuming with the CPU/GPU boost and such there will be AR features exclusive to the 8. also if Pencil support is added this year it will also almost assuredly be exclusive to the 8. As a long shot (along with Pencil support?) I'd say a 120Hz screen.
Just wait for the Republican healthcare plan to roll in.

Healthcare can wait.
The Watch Series 3 might be what would cause me to buy in, if they actually update it this time. We'll have to see.
My 6 is still performing like a champ so no reason to open my wallet this go-round.
But hey, Apple, how about a single slide and ten-second mention that you updated the Mac minis with the MBP guts and TB3?

The iPhone as a product generates more revenue than many countries' entire economies. I don't think two dozen SKUs is unreasonable.

I'm looking forward to the next apple watch but I think I'll be passing on upgrading my phone until 2 more years.

Please have a se sized update

I'm on the Apple upgrade program, so I'll upgrade to the 8, but my wife might also want it and I'll be adding her to the upgrade program for the first time. I wonder how shitty that checkout process will go at 3AM when I am trying to do both...
The SE is rumoured to be either dead or an update coming next year.
Given how well the SE sold, the latter is far more likely. Doesn't make much sense to update the budget smaller model at the same time as the new hotness when you want to drive your ASP up. The SE was basically a 6S that came out less than a year later for $250 less. My guess is we'll see a similar <1 year gap before it gets refreshed.
