California so full of crime and homeless and nut case politicians with people trying to toss out the feckless governor… Cook needs to come down from the tower. This state is in turmoil and they’re trying to hide it.
Yes, blame Apple for California law enforcement and social policy.
Agreed. also that was one of the most boring apple shows with worst music selection maybe ever. Watching an insurance ad would have been more exciting. Apple Watch 7 complete let down from the rumors. No flat sides. Same awful battery life. Feckless upgrades all around, except the iPad mini.
In the mean time they replaced the nice silver white with starlight, aka BIEGE. It’s hideous. Awful awful taste demonstrated all around. Terrible show. I’m sure the Mac press will get all it’s apologies together for that crap show.
…and so begins the litany of garbage from trolls and bigots who inhabit these webpages.
Boring show…woke/gay presenters…truly amazing that Apple remains the most valuable company. /s
FU#KIN leakers got Apple Watch design prediction wrong!
Was it the “serial leaker,” Jon Prosser (sp?). If so, in the trash bin he goes.
Besides, why give a “serial leaker” such a platform? Isn’t it necessary for such a person to be breaking some stated, or unstated rule…and doing so for their own gain? For some reason–though not a mirrored likeness–Google comes to mind.
Apple shows make me frown more than anything else. I feel like I’m watching Apple Safe Spaces for gentle snowflakes everywhere.
Maybe it’s you…not Apple.
Perhaps a change in your medication is required.
Or maybe it’s you in serious DENIAL what your eyes are seeing and ears are hearing.
But of course Leftists are masters at SPINNING negative reality into positive territory a common technique that is totally FALSE…
Dear GoeB…who always puts a political spin on everything.
Maybe it’s you retarded Rightists who have their eyes closed and see NOTHING.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But we want you to be safe…because you are unable to protect yourself.
It’s the pronation of the liberal mind to “save” everyone from life’s dangers with their prescribed method…b/c their way is best and you ARE going to like it.
The obsession with “health and safety” or “if it only saves one life” except… innocent babies in their mother’s womb.
I think you mean fetus. It’s called a fetus from 8 weeks to birth. 1-8 weeks “embryo.” Before one week “zygote.”
No, ghoul, it’s a tiny baby, a precious human life form, God Bless Texas for protecting them. That Apple chose to focus on soulless California speaks volumes about their distorted “values”.
Guess what zygote… you were all of those when you were occupying your mother’s womb, and EVERY HUMAN BEING! I will never understand the hypocritical mind of supporters of abortion. ABORTION IS MURDER
Yes, indeed YD.
Taking of a life of a developing child with no rights in the womb which should be the safest spot on Earth. Abortion stops a beating heart.
The BIG HYPOCRISY of the far left with bumper stickers screaming MEAT IS MURDER. So what is abortion radicals — giving LIFE?
One undeniable truth the far left can never spin or change reality — every person alive today and for the rest of time can thank a PRO LIFE mother… 👩👧👦
It’s called leadership by example. They do their best to refute whiners who say that everything is impossible. Apple isn’t forcing anyone to do anything. They are just proving that reasonable people can do it.
Still using lightning port? They didn’t say one way or the other, so I’d guess they are?
How fast is lightning these days? Is it just USB 2 speeds? I know many USB-C cables and devices are only USB2 speed, does that apply to lightning too?
Snoozer of an event. Lackluster updates, annoying music and woke presenters and photographs, no reason for me to spend any money.
What a disappointment. Not a word about iOS 15 or Monterey? I hate these new super slick “events”. They’d be half the length without all the ridiculously long cut scenes and music video-like segments. They make me miss SJ more and more with every one. I can’t help thinking he must be rolling in his grave with the way the company is going these days. He didn’t need any of that crap to create compelling and memorable events. And it seems like they’ve effectively abandoned the Mac. Don’t get me wrong, Apple is still better than any other company but I can’t help feeling that they are on the decline.
SJ would be so pissed to have a $2.5 billion company literally changing the world with their devices and designs. But you all would be much better CEO. How would you like a “less safe” presentation to go? Feel like rolling the dice with the world’s largest corporation’s largest product? I’m sure you’ll be on the short bus for CEO when Cook retires.
There are dozens of candidates out there that can fill in for the uncreative bean counter CARETAKER CEO. So to challenge a poster would do a better job is plain STUPID…
Apple is following and materially part of directing the change in culture. It’s on the decline.
It’s likely that Apple decided to spread disinformation to counteract the leaks. Nice to have some surprises, even though I didn’t get a new Mac in this presentation.
Yes, presenting a warm, sunny nice place in contrast to the homelessness and impoverishment that prevails is a bit much. Maybe Apple could come up with some ideas to house and feed the poor people – now that would be a remarkable accomplishment. And that is not going to happen.
Geez – no need for the long transitions and the flyovers! Maybe once at the beginning at once at the end. What a waste of time – I cringed every time that another person was going to speak because of those. Just have a quick simple transition! Ugh, to me that was painful.
And way to cast aside the other 49 states! Lol
I love Apple, and am a shareholder, but I agree with the poster above – ndelc25. It was boring. Nothing new to show, nothing new coming down the pike that they spoke of. Just better cameras, faster chips – all this is well and good, but getting repetitive…
Could not agree more regarding the iteration upgrades.
Every year the same old, same old. Camera is better, new chip twice as fast, wow we made the hideous “notch” 20% smaller, less bezel on the iPad screen, batteries are slightly bigger and watch thinner. Big friggin’ whoop dee do!
This is the first Apple event in decades I refuse to watch. From other posts: The gagging overload of woke minorities, woke music, woke videos and worst brainwashing a beautiful state is now a dangerous sh*thole 💩 and everyone except Apple and recall governor knows it…
Wait what?? No new LGBTQ emojis, someone needs to call the homo police on Tim. Also, no new color emojis, how racist, my exact color skin is still not showing. I also expected to see new LGBTQ iphones and watches air drop notifications to nearby iphones promoting gayness to all nearby phones, including children. I’m disappointed honestly. To not include more LGBTQ and diversity in their new products is abysmal.
Tim likes the “undercover brother” approach. The fitness dude-chick was wearing a rainbow watch band and half the “men” presenting were gay. The Asian chick with the short leg checked the disability and diversity box, wheelchair chick twice in a row would have been too much. Still haven’t noticed a full trans presenter yet, just high-T women. Asian men really get no love, they and white men would be 90% of the presenters if it was based on merit alone, instead of diversity points. Obviously they have very few eligible blacks to showcase so instead you’ll have black faces in nearly every photo and video. For libs this counts as “fighting racism”.
Snooze fest. I literally dozed off (after too short night) at one point. I did not feel a single adrenaline rush during this whole production (did I miss something exciting during my nap?)
Unfortunately, no.
