No major design change was expected other than a flat side

Kinda embarrassing that the same design is being used for 4 annual flagship phones. Where is the Apple that announced Siri and changed the game? Where is the Apple that introduced Touch ID to their phones and made every single company do the same? Apple has become so boring.

Port-less design next year (hopefully)

I'm excited for this! My iPhone 8+ was stolen so currently I use iPhone 7. Looking for upgrade

Gonna be a huge step-up from a 7.

I'm a bit bust at work, but couldn't be more excited for this, mostly cause I'll be getting the smaller pro in blue. I am an Apple fanatic and spend a lot of time in the community and sometimes developing apps.

I'll catch in with y'all during or after the event.

I wonder how many Hey Siri's have been triggered right now.

Next year when the HomePod mini is on sale for like $75, I might switch my smart speakers over to the mini. If the reviews are good, which they almost surely will be. 

[LetsGetHigh Pronounshe/him]

Was really impressed with how they built a house set to showcase the HomePod mini (especially with how most of us are spending lots of time at home), but the presentation took a huge dip when Tim started. Feels so awkward and rushed.

"ideal conditions" AKA having to literally be outside to get those 5G mmWave speeds. Hate when marketing doesn't tell you stuff like this.

I can’t believe this Verizon guy is a real human.

The Pixel 5 has a one year old chip btw but the camera is second to none.

Except for video. Still images are slightly better, but the iPhone Pros have better video quality

They focused on video this year for the Pixel 5 so that might no longer be true.

Didn't they claim 4 Gbps literally 5 minutes ago, and now it's 3.5 Gbps?

We’ll see, it’s hard to beat 60fps 4K. My XS, a 2 year old phone, has that. I’m surprised it’s taken google this long to consider it. And it’s actually 120fps, but Apple merges every other frame to balance exposure.

The 4Gbps was a Verizon claim - not Apple. Apple may only go up to 3.5 but Verizon is offering 4 in their ultrafast cities.

Google probably didn't want to enable 4K@60FPS before they mastered it. I know this is an Apple thread and I apologize for spamming about Pixels at this point nn, but Google's software for their cams is legit astonishing and amazing.

Really disappointed she wasn't talking about Among Us.
