    No real change in price from current Series 3 to 4.

    Were the prices mentioned for the smaller or bigger watch?

    Glad to see 3D Touch is still here, probably removed from the cheaper LCD model and thats what the rumours got confused by.

    The smaller model starts at $399 in the US. So probably around €500 for the bigger model in Ireland. I paid €350 for my series 1 if I remember right.

    iPhone is fairly incremental but interesting enough I suppose if you are on a cycle this year

    Great point actually! Will be dearer as they always quote the smaller one.

    Damn.

    How? Do you have it in Theatre mode all the time or something?

    I loved the people clapping at the 600 billion to 5 trillion yokes or whatever it was.

    Fairly sure the rumour was about the 2019 iPhone’s?

    Theres almost too much hardware in there now.

    Least compelling s update ever by what they’ve said so far. Won’t be upgrading.

    Don’t say that until we get to the new Animoji breakdown!

    No need to upgrade to this from an iPhone X. I’ll wait until next years version with 5G

    The quoted 18 hours battery life is not 18 hours standby time. I don’t wear my watch in bed, but I don’t turn it off when I take it off. If I charged my watch tonight before going to bed (and unplugged it from the charger), I won’t have to charge it again until Saturday night, and that would include two 1 hour workouts using a Bluetooth chest strap heart rate monitor


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,035 ✭✭✭OU812


    Can’t see myself updating from 8 Plus

    Maybe next year. I do want the watch though.

    Most people upgrade on a 2-3 year cycle but this looks a fairly big upgrade (hardware wise) for a year on year upgrade.

    All this power in your pocket for stupid stuff like Animoji and fish tank in your living room.

    In the 1st batch. 21st I think they said.

    Pre-order Friday, available on the 21st of this month.

    No it doesn’t. It’s probably the smallest jump I’ve seen them do. They’d usually chuck in a new killer feature and this is just looking a mild spec bump. I was at least expecting Face ID to be upgraded to work in landscape. There is nothing there for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    If I had an X there is no way I would upgrade. Hopefully stupid people will though and the X will get cheap but I see its prices staying stable


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    Those graphics do look good

    Think we will be a tier 1 release, so September 21st


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,358 ✭✭✭DubDJ


    I got the X on launch so I was hoping for a smaller incremental upgrade this year to keep away the envy. For X owners it's not a must have. But for anybody on an older iPhone its a great overall update.
