Apple Special Event - September 12th

The Xr looks awful. Just look at those bezels.

DubDJ

I thought the 120Hz was to do with the touch responsiveness, not the actual screen refresh rate. Maybe I'm wrong though.

First tier, probably not. But if Vodafone are bringing it out in Europe, I don’t see why they’d leave out Ireland.

Well its been in Europe since cellular Apple watches which has been a while. So dont think it will happen anytime soon.

Does the Razer phone not have that already?

Not OLED, I went from the 7plus to the Razer, only thing I miss is the camera. That's why I'm calling bull on the 120z OLED as I don't think it's possible.

The phones aren't fast that's my major gripe with most phones right now, any top tier iPhone or Android can handle anything but none can display content quick enough at 60hz. The X tries to mimick 120hz but still isn't quite there the call out from the presentation is the XS has a 120hz OLED screen, I'm calling bullcrap on that until I see the exact specifications.
A 120hz screen might get me back from the dark side.

120hz Touch sensor. Not screen.

Yea didn't think it had oled but knew it was 120z.

No it's how fast the phone can display content, use a razer for a week and pick up any other phone and it'll feel old and slow. You basically can scroll super fast in lay man's terns.

I just wish they would make a feckin SE2 with thin bezels and bigger screen as was rumoured

Its not possible because you went to the Razer?

So you can touch faster on the 60hz screen

I suppose it means it’s twice as responsive to the touch.

Nope still confused, you can touch it faster but you can't make it display faster.

iPhone XR looks a bit naff but presumably the price point will appeal.

Am I wrong saying that the only differences is that the XR has one less lens, and a different display?

drunkmonkey

Is there a 5.5 with no notch or were they comparing it to an old phone.

Franz Von Peppercorn

I am going to the US soon. The Xr might be tempting

godtabh

One more thing?

dan786

Will go for Max 256GB. Dont see a great market for a 512gb.

Notorious

Very high prices for the new phones. I'm on a 7 and I've an update coming up in October. Wonder what price tag our carriers will put on them?

Apple are pushing their top level phones upmarket. The equivalent of the normal priced new iPhone is the Xr.

R for regular. For me OLED isn't worth that much extra. So I think these will sell.

Yeah, think he said preorders would be October 19th and it will ship October 26th

Well the 15% is just per core, but there are more cores. Internally its an impressive upgrade. Of course phones are fast enough anyway, I agree, however I don't know what people expect. I bet Touch ID was mocked in its day,.

You’d bet wrong.

It's a complete flop I'm not surprised, looking at the new prices there pushing the limits of what even the most dedicated fan will spend. €1679 is off the wall for 500gb,

What’s in the box in Apple store app seems to indicate the old 5w charger so no fast charge?

I love my One Plus 5 because of its dash charge. I consider an iPhone every year but always talk myself out of it.

Hogzy

Xr starts at 879eur...Thats INSANE! How much was the iPhone 8 64gb up until today?

Stainless steel body

Duel rear cameras
