Hmmm, I don't think that's right. The XR started at 750 in the US.

Forbes reported it that Apples cost of manufacturing for the "iPhone" has been reduced by 12-15%. Not sure if that applies to all iPhones or just particular ones, or it might be an average across the board.

Id imagine the cost of sourcing LCD panels now is feck all.

Low power design. Jesus Tim just put in a bigger battery like everyone else.

God they are going very heavy on the specs aren't they?

They have to really otherwise the iPhone section would be done in 15 minutes. They're even stating specs from previous models as if they were new on this one.

Not much else to talk about, is there?

Itssoeasy

Said out loud :"now back to phil"
Said in head: " thank jaysus that's over"

Wow!

Battery life

Bob24

Not sure what 4 hours more battery life means in the real world, if significant that would be nice.

Hogzy

Interesting that there doesnt seem to be much barel distortion on the photos of the ultra wide, wonder have the photos been corrected in photoshop

Itssoeasy

I take this phone is aimed at the social medja influencers ?

IamMetaldave

Professional photography is a stretch... Can’t see Nikon or Canon worrying too much.

That hairy face is very hairy.

DubDJ

If anything this event has so far made the pricier 'Pro' model harder to justify price-wise. Other than the OLED, smaller bezels and extra camera there isn't a lot to justify the €350 premium.

Marty Bird

2019 and we get more than the 5W charger :rolleyes:

Itssoeasy

I'm sure he's been well compensated for getting up that high.

My latest one came with a 30w warp charger. The stuff there applauding at is absurd.

Most likely machine processing on-device helping. Similar to how Google enhances photography with AI.

They always focus on specs in the "tock" years. It's just that are using a tick-tock-tock strategy now, so there's two years of it instead of one. It's leaving the people who buy a new phone every year out in the cold but it's great for the people due an upgrade.

This is a yawn fest. Deep fusion my arse.

Itssoeasy

A jaysus not another video.

DubDJ

In the past a lot of this camera stuff would be putting Apple far ahead, but it's really just catch up with what the competitors are offering. Although I still think Apple has the far better video offering than anything else I've seen.

Hogzy

One thing is for sure, apple are the king of marketing, this is all such BS!

I forsee another year of declining iPhone sales!

I know I’m bowled over by this announcement. For the first time I won’t upgrade the iPhone this cycle.

Itssoeasy

It's impressive but I doubt Warner Brothers are shacking in their boots.

DubDJ

The font is so pro hahahaha

Itssoeasy

"it is so pro" Okay we get it phil.

Itssoeasy

And the presenters of the next award...

Hardtochoose

Next iphone I buy will have 5G and usb C. Not worth upgrading unless a 5G phone

Lost count, they must have spent more money on the marketing than the actual hardware

First Apple event I've watched (half thinking about jumping ship from Android) - christ that kind of stuff is boring going into mental detail about the internals and camera specs.

jack presley

"We think this is the most exciting iPhone ever". Really, do you? Never saw that coming.

Hogzy

So the only real new feature on the "pro" is the 3rd camera lens...thats it.

Have I missed something? Genuinely like, is that the only difference?
