Here’s the new Watch

Exclusive: Apple Watch Series 4 revealed — massive display, dense watch face, more

Going from the Series 0/1 to Series 4 is going to be amazing for early adopters who have been waiting for a true leap forward. I’m psyched.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Soon.

 

[mouz135]

Soon.

What is this? Another phone?

What is this? Another phone?

It’s September. Of course.

Personally not getting a new one this year but next year I’ll definitely be upgrading. Hopefully they refresh their cheaper laptop line too, not looking to spend $1800+ for a school laptop.

Pretty sure OP meant what is the weird circle

 

[Canes]

Pretty sure OP meant what is the weird circle

I've seen speculation that it's a reference to their AirPower charger

 

[Supermassive]

What is this? Another phone?

The circle represents the circular Steve Jobs Theatre. New futuristic glass-walled building in Cupertino.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

so this is just an 'S' year? Glad I'm waiting until next September to upgrade.

again, hoping for some laptop updates

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

The circle is Apple's new campus (HQ). The new 6.5 (plus size) phone will be awesome.

 

[EpochLink]

I am due for a new Apple phone this year, my last upgrade was in 2014.

Good enough.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

6.5" is the size of the 8 Plus and whatnot but all screen this time right? Could be tempting, although the 5.8" seems like the perfect size for me. I dunno why I'm thinking about this now when I'm not getting one until next year though.

Apple Watch (maybe) and laptop on the other hand...

 

[Hunter Gathers]

New shit coming tomorrow!

Unless the 6.5" has some killer feature, I will easily pass and go with the 5.8".

Get on that Apple Upgrade program train and upgrade every year bruh.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Not available in Canada I believe

 

[Hunter Gathers]

No shit?? That sucks, man.

 

[guinness]

I really don't need a new phone but if the rumored orange color is real...mmm. Curious about the MB/MBA refresh, but I'm not holding my breath, I'm just not 100% behind laptops with soldered/glued down components, don't care about how thin they are, if it means losing functionality. However, I am eagerly awaiting iOS 12 and Mojave (I thought I'd be good, and not run any of the betas, which is weird, since I usually jump on the latest SW).

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Apple Watch up first. I sold my Watch and replaced it with a Garmin Fenix 5 Plus.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Looks like they raised the price on Series 4 a bit.

 

[guinness]

TBH, I still don't get smartwatches, the battery life sucks and there's only so much information that can be crammed in a little screen.

Not to mention, they eventually quit getting SW updates, and the battery has to be replaced. But my real watches will last a couple years, and my mechanical just has to move.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

New iPhone made with a new glass. And now IP 68.

I find the Fenix 5 to be incredible, frankly.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

As expected, 5.8" OLED and 6.5" OLED.

6.5" called "Super Retina"

 

[Hunter Gathers]

6.5" looks like it's almost identical in size to the current 8 Plus.

Stupid name. iPhone Xs Max.
