Here we go!
“iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods” today. There goes a few of my my Bingo squares for iPad and Apple TV.
Is Tim’s watch going to change after this reveal video?
Oh! “Thinnest ever”. That’s nice.
Series “10”. No Roman numeral “X” this time.
Wow, just the three colors for the Apple Watch this year? The polished black is nice, but that’s not a wide range to meet people’s fashion needs.
Uh oh, the iPhone is totally gonna have this shiny titanium, isn’t it?
Sleep Apnea detection is gonna be really good for people. Gotta have that fast charging and good battery life to convince people to wear them overnight though!
Have we had any mention of a smaller size yet? I can’t imagine they’re going for just one case size this year, but all they’re talking about is the big screen.
Yaay! Route maps for paddling workouts!
It looks so similar at a distance, I can’t tell if it changed.
Wow! It really seems like they aren’t doing multiple sizes for Series 10. 🤯
Okay, guy, no one needs “automatic stroke detection.”
The satin black color looks sick, but not as sick as that sick-as-hell titanium Milanese loop. Bummed that there’s not a bump to Ultra 3 though…I was hoping to upgrade from Ultra 1 for refreshed battery life.
Updates across the whole AirPods lineup! Hot damn!
AirPods 4. Not even AirPods (4th gen). Changing up the naming scheme.
Here’s hoping the refined shape fits at least as well as the AirPods (2nd gen). I’ll try them out!
I really like the AirPods 4 presenter’s belt.
Let’s gooooo! Active Noise Cancellation without the in-ear tips in this special version of AirPods 4! Please please please let them fit my ears! 🙏
Shoulda been “AirPods 4+” but okay.
Wait wait wait. That AirPods Max segment flew by. They can’t have only added new colors and USB-C, right? No refreshed materials, design, or audio quality?!
AirPods Pro is about to enter it’s health-focused phase.
Seems like it.
Hmm. She said for “AirPods Pro 2.” Is this going to be the third iteration of the AirPods Pro 2 model? Or maybe they’re just software updates?
Wow! A hearing test and over-the-counter hearing aid with AirPods Pro?! That’s huge.
iPhone time! With a camera button and back to a vertical camera bump for iPhone 16. Nice color too.
I’d be happier to see a camera bar like the Pixel phones, but moving away from the large square camera bump is a nice change.
Ooh interesting. The capture button isn’t just for photos, it also offers access to Intelligence features.
I’m feeling good about my A18 and A18 Pro Bingo square.
Whoa, Craig’s hair looks fresh. And he got to go on his own road trip this time. To Rome maybe?
Oh no. They’re talking about Image Playgrounds again. They’re committed.
They just showed a notification summary that got rewritten longer than the original…
Alright, Visual Intelligence via the Camera Control looks handy. But coming “later this year”.
@pratik Ah, that makes more sense.
The UI/UX for the Camera Control looks really nice. I hope it feels as nice in person.
Wow, there’s a lot going on with those two lenses in the iPhone 16.
Always nice to hear “a big boost in battery life”.
I’ve said it before, but the satellite messaging features are a huge part of my pull toward upgrading my phone this year. It might let me ditch my $25/month Garmin satellite messaging plan. That’s a notable portion of a new phone’s cost over two years!
That’s a pretty good upgrade for the non-Pro iPhones. Let’s see what they’re gonna do for Pro, though. I actually thought the Camera Control was gonna be a Pro-only feature.
Woohoo! I’m unreasonably excited that the titanium frame isn’t super shiny. That’d be too gaudy for 2024.
6.3” screen on the smaller Pro. I already know it’s going to feel huge, but hopefully I can get used to it. I think my last iPhone Pro had a 6.1” screen.
I’ll be honest, I kinda zone out during the Apple silicon segments like I do during the game segments. I trust they’ve made a killer chip, but the “speeds and feeds” goes over my head.
Oh shit, I think I’m about to get a Bingo on my own board!
BINGO!
I recognize this set…but wasn’t it filled with more artistic stuff last time?
That multi-layer feature for Voice Memos sounds like it would have been perfect for Music Memos, which I still don’t understand why they killed.
Joz got some new glasses! They’re cool, but not as cool as The Weeknd’s pair. 😎
The Weeknd must really like working with Apple. A photoshoot, video shoot, and upcoming Immersive Video project.
No mention of FineWoven. And no stats on that “faster” MagSafe.
Did we get release dates for all the OSes? It’s the only thing I need for a double Bingo!
Which is WILD! My iPhone already lasted soooooo long until I updated to beta!
I’m so mad about music memos. It just started fully crashing for me on the iOS 18 beta. I’ve been holding on.
@jsonbecker Oh no! Hopefully it’ll get sorted out for the final release. But I’m not holding my breath.
@rsilvernail You’ve got the Pro Max? My mini is struggling these days.
Okay, false alarm. There is a 42mm option.
Via apple.com, macOS Sequoia, iPadOS 18, iOS 18, watchOS 11, and visionOS 2 are all coming out not only in the same week but all on the same day: September 16. tvOS 18 doesn’t seem to have a page, but I’m going to assume it’s getting released then, too. That’s a double Bingo, y’all!
