Apple announces September 9th event

Eire Go Brach

The new force touch look very good I think. That can only get better.

Apple TV, It will be interesting to see what they do with Apps. I barely use my Atv3 at the moment. It is to closed. Grand if you like paying for your content. Which I do in most cases

I am not sure what they are doing with iCloud storage. Obviously the lesser tec savvy must be paying for it and keeping it going. As only 5gb free in this day and age is brutal.

The last thing that apple did that was innovative and really blew me away was an app store with sdk where everyone else did the work, creativity and innovation aside from apple. A bloody colour taken of the shelves and that's interesting...wtf

Chill dude.

The new Apple TV is one ugly looking thing.

33 millimetres in height, making it look like a fat puck.

33 millimetres is nothing in the grand scheme of things, it's not like you be keeping it in your pocket.

I got €560 on Sunday for a 64gb so you should have no problem getting €50 more.

I'm not sure, am I the only one whose Sky box/games consoles get pride of place under the tele and not hidden away in a press?

Maybe it's just me but that new Apple TV is ugly, not Apple-esque at all imo.

It looks basically like the old apple TV just taller.

Hello I'm thinking about getting the new iPhone but due to the new iPhone having a better camera, including 4k video I fell like 16gb won't do this time. I just don't want to pay an extra 100 on top of that, checking the french and german apple sites a 64gb iPhone 6 plus would be like 950!!. The prices have gone up around 50 euro. Does anybody know when the prices start to drop on the likes of sites such as adverts and eBay. I want to get one at launch but I don't mind waiting a little longer to get it cheeper

Hardware wise the new Apple TV is ugly imo, it wasn't all that bad in the first place but making it taller just doesn't look as appealing for some reason. I think the remote looks pretty basic design wise too, not as bad as the last but nothing to shout about.

The software UI looks great though, as the box will just sit under the TV i'm not too bothered about the looks of that and as long as it works well that's great.

Did they mention anything about the new TV specs wise? I just noticed it has the new USB-C as the service port, didn't expect them to include it here but glad to have it.

Go for the 16gb then and buy the iCloud plan 50GB for 99c per month problem solved you won't get the latest iPhone after launch day cheaper you will pay more for it via a private sale.

Yes I was thinking of that but the fact that I would have to offset photos and videos pretty often would be a pain. Also I like to have a certain amount on my phone but that is an option I suppose

Fascinating stuff alright...

I think it just might need to be spelt out for you fanboys, it's really not all that interesting...at all...in the least bit. Get it? Maybe? No, ok...enjoy the colour cover debate.

Offset? In what way? Does iCloud library not do that for you.

Just I hate the idea of backing up! I know it has to be done but if I want to show people pictures,videos etc I'll need internet connection for most of them due to the low storage. I know they show up in your camera roll once connected to wifi etc but I kind of want them to be physically stored.
Sorry if that doesn't make much sense

Or download Onedrive and get at least 15gb free (they often have invite offers giving you more storage)

Maybe it's because it looks too much like the gold 6s (new models will be using a different type of aluminium and will probably look darker/lighter)

Are you in the wrong thread?

Just catching up ... And saw mention the iPhone carrier free upgrade plan. I'm assuming it's US only?

Great idea ... Could shop around for the best sim only deal ... No network contract

Apple Care thrown in free into the mix a bonus too

Missed the keynote ... Any mention of rolling this out to other countries?

Apple Insider is reporting Ireland won't get the Siri remote because Siri isn't supported here on ATV. that's an odd decision.

My advice is spend that 100€. 16gb is really useless. 64gb is enough unless you are taking lots of videos etc.

He meant as the primary interface.

Fairly sure they said it'd be rolled out eventually

Nice to see the price drop for iCloud

i'm currently paying .99 for 20gb....tried to see if the 50gb option is there to upgrade to and it's not, the only one i can get right now is 200gb for 3.99
