I would pay money to hear Tim tell me about how booty shots and diet shaker drink ads are improved with the new iPhone

joking aside, iPhones get used for a lot of pro pickup shots, but that’s the sort of thing where somebody slides 1 or 2 in along with a collection of DSLR/mirrorless shots and hopes that nobody notices

they have totally killed the market for poo poo like Ricoh GRs and other “prosumer” point-n-shoots, which is all anybody could/should ever want

But the chip shortage. :ohdear:

Apple insulated themselves by buying years worth of TSMC focus. Any company left over after them and the US Gov bullying them to make chips for US automakers are the ones to worry about.

Everything except iPhones are using USB C so its a weird product segmentation that they refuse to get rid of.

Just let me use a USB C cable to connect my iPhone to my Macbook wth Tim Apple

In the guide to getting dumped, this guy helped me realize that with time it does get better. And yeah, he did get his custom title.
I am confused that they showed the cinematic mode, it clearly doesn't work. The edge blurring was terrible, the video looked noisey and desaturated, the racks were all late. I guess you gotta go with 'something' when it's this lean of a year but still kind of jarring to see them showing stuff that looks clearly bad/wrong. The entire thing could have been 'we added promotion' and that's basically it. I think it's crazy everything hasn't moved to FaceID yet.

Now the phones and the very cheapest iPad have Lightning :lol: Actually kinda glad that I have a prehistoric Pro from the Lightning era rather than buying in fresh with a budget iPad today because I can keep one cable for charging both things for a while longer.

No bronze either. Was looking forward to seeing that.

I guess this is the problem when you have one (Ukrainian) website “leak” something, which feeds an echo chamber of Apple fan websites that signal boost it into space, when in the fine print it’s all derived from one - possibly trolling - source.

pretty telling that people say this like it’s a bad thing

I switched from a 6S to a 12 Pro last year and that felt like a nice change in most respects. I have zero interest in changing until a similar amount of time has passed and that actually rules

The technology gap is narrowing year after year which is nice. No longer does a single year, let alone 3 or 4 years feel that much different than when going from say, an iPhone 4 -> 4s was.

I like the look of Android 12 and want to run the kind of programs that Apple only lets in by accident. The way they stepped up to the plate hard against sideloading makes it clear I should stop supporting them because that's the only way I'm going to get NewPipe, apps that let me manage torrents on a local PC (which Apple finds as forbidden as running a torrents on the actual phone), browsers with full extensions support, etc.

On top of being the kind of nerd who runs GUI-less Linux and and Kubernetes inside the home, I used to use Android for five years so there's not much shock in moving back and forth.

EDIT: I guess I should also clear up that I'm using the SE iPhone so it's not like the Pro where you literally Can't Find A Better Phone.
