Hello! Apple’s annual event is quickly approaching, happening in less than a week - 12th September to be precise. During this event, they’re expected to...

Derren I’m really curious about this too, what clever apple justification will they provide for this change 😅 Not expecting a slide saying ‘the EU made us’ 🤣

Derren

Rob ⚡️ no definitely not 😂 they’ll hype it up and emphasize how useful it will be to the user. Basically act as if nothing happened and advertise it as a great new addition.

The rumours are normal iPhone 15 will get USB 2.0 and the iPhone 15 Pro will get thunderbolt 4.0, one is inadequate another one is overkill. Nevertheless no more lightning cable should be good for consumers.

Xu_Nothing Honestly, I rarely plug my iPhone in. Since I can’t use it as external storage like I can my Phone (2) I just don’t bother, I use Qi charging instead.

Remi F

Derren Iphone 15 will be the fastest charging Iphone ever made, 30W fast charging groundbreaking speed (lmao). I see this coming also

I still hope to see a new Mini, I love this size

And still want a Nothing Phone (Mini) 😉

Remi F

Nothing to hope from Apple to be honest. Minor changes to be expected. The only thing worth noting is the action key that will replace the mute switch as far as we saw from the different leaks. Wait & See…

Rob ⚡️

Remi F Ah I’ve not heard that one…interesting I wonder how much customisation this would bring…

SamC

Remi F If they have the action button, I’m curious to see what their use case would be. I can see it getting triggered accidentally, and having a phone go off silent would be really annoying.

Derren It’s a “Pro” Feature.😑

Remi F

Rob ⚡️ probably not much, as it’s Apple and it’s a closed point of vue. But maybe we will see some fancy hack for it

I’d normally be watching live but I have to be out of town tomorrow and when the keynote starts I’ll be starting up a new SCADA. I’ll have to watch at night after I get home. I don’t expect to see anything that will make me want to pull out my credit card, I already have a 14 Pro and a Watch SE 2nd Edition. Maybe next year.

I’m actually eager to see what features the expected Apple Watch Series 9 will offer. My Series 7 has a deep crack in the display. So much for the advertising claiming it was “the most durable” and had “the most crack-resistant front crystal yet.” The Apple Watch Series 8 was a minor improvement over the 7, with a new chip and a new temperature sensor, as far as I recall. The Apple Watch Ultra is overkill for my use case (and I believe for many people’s use cases as well).

When Nothing (CMF) plans to launch the smart watch, happy to give it a thorough testing 😉 I’ve been wearing my watch basically 24/7 for the last 21 months

MaxSoliman I also have a series 7! Didn’t upgrade to series 8 for the same reasons… the temperature sensing and cycle tracking is a great feature but not enough for an upgrade. I’d want to see a number of in-depth health tracking features added (Rob showed me the stress tracking on his Garmin today… so good to be aware of stress throughout the day!)

And, battery life upgraded past 18hrs… having to charge before bed is annoying!

megatomic

I only use my Apple Watch on work days and then only to triage notifications. I’m definitely not their target audience.

MaxSoliman

Natalie ✨ totally agree! I wonder how the new ios will implement wellbeing tracking and whether it will have any unique implementation for users with an apple watch 🤔

I feel like my battery health being at 87% is respectable considering my heavy usage over the last 1.75 years. But there is definitely room for improvement on that front. If I had the money I would want to test a bunch of different watches and see what suits mu usage best, but without that option the safe bet is the Apple watch

megatomic

Battery life on the SE Gen2 is amazing tbh. I end the day (6am to 8pm) with almost 70% nearly every day.

Rob ⚡️

What other product rumours are kicking about? I’m a bit out of the loop….

MaxSoliman

Rob ⚡️ check out the waveform podcast from MKBHD. The most recent episode has a segment focused on all latest rumors

Guys, my startup for tomorrow got rescheduled so there is an off chance that I might get to watch the event live. Probably still won’t get to watch live but there is a chance lol.

Natalie ✨

MaxSoliman True, had mine for almost 2 years now! I’d love to try a Garmin but the one I like is too expensive to buy spontaneously while my Series 7 is still good enough - let’s see what’s announced later 👀
