Being able to change the focus after the fact is pretty neat. The video stuff is the one thing making me want to upgrade, but I’ll hold out to next year.

BLUE IPHONE PRO

SOOOOLD

The 13’s colors are awful compared to the 12’s, but the fact that there’s a decent blue for both the 13 and 13 Pro is pretty telling wrt which color(s) massively outsold all the others (posting from blue 12 Pro).

I wonder if they’ll roll out more colors later on in the year again, or if they’ve decided to keep the lineup short this time. Wonder how much of it is a cost/“seeing which SKUs sold and which didn’t” thing and how much of it is just a “last year we did a bunch of pretty colors, so this year we do fewer uglier ones, to keep things fresh” thing like they used to do with the iPod.

Also that delivery driver ad was really on the nose, Apple

Like, I'm taking photos of my kid with my 12 Pro that look better than anything I've ever taken in my life. But they still just look like amateur photos. Because they are. And so did the videos they just showed.

That's fine. But hearing them fawn over them was just weird.

Not gonna lie, the blue looks nice. At least I can make sure everyone knows I've got the latest one if I get that colour.

Not sure what I'm going to do about the Watch Series 7 though, short of telling everyone "you see that bezel? 1.8mm". They could've at least made the ring on the crown a different colour. :smith:

Ohhhh that makes sense. Weird, they could put a setting in where you can just shut it off. But I wonder if the mechanism it floats in just gets beat to death whether it's trying to stabilize or not.

A lot of that last bit. Having a lens element that can just flop around in every direction lets you do stabilization, but it also creates a point of failure under extreme conditions. Apple talks about it kinda obliquely in that KB article, but extreme vibration can also permanently gently caress up the sensors that determine how the camera's shaking in the first place. Very exciting when it happens on your $2000 DSLR lens. :v:

either ways at this point I HAVE to upgrade my phone since I've had this iphone 6 for like 6 years and I pretty much took it as far as it will go, so I'll get the 13 pro to hopefully last me another five years, looking forward to it.
