    That guy should stick to selling pasta

    Why?

    He's Swedish?
    Most likely he kitted out the house with Mini Homepods.

    It looks like the iPhone5 around the edges.

    The blue looks different that the leaked images. Looks better.

    I'd much rather have 5g.

    120hz is something you've mentioned a few times but I think it's very niche on a phone and not something most people worry about.

    5G will make a difference in speeds and how a phone is used as it interacts with more devices.

    Suppose everyone has their own things. I just never noticed a major difference in speeds, and I'm mostly on WiFi anyway. 120Hz on the screen was impressive when I first saw the iPad, and if it's the part of the phone you see and interact with the most it's where I'd like to see the updates.

    That design is nice in fairness.

    Are you thinking of the blue for the Pro?

    It looks the exact same as the leaks I saw.

    No let’s not talk more about 5G!


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,644 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    That’s a fancy looking walk in freezer.

    I loved the design leaks and still think it looks good. But if going back to the old design and spec bumps plus 5G is worth the upgrade I don't know.

    The 5G to me isn’t that important but that old design will catch a lot of people who liked that old design but want the newest phone.

    Yay the A14 announced in the iPhone. Now let buy the iPad Air finally!!

    Depends on what you're upgrading from.

    I have the 11 and will be sticking with it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,541 ✭✭✭FourFourRED


    Can’t help but look at the Mac Pro on the floor and think about the $800 wheels it’s sitting on

    The custom chips Apple produces are leaps ahead of anything else. I'd say the performance on this is going to be bonkers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,321 ✭✭✭sham69


    Redesign?
    Eh. Its just gone back to iPhone 4 and 5 design.
    Is Ive involved in design anymore since he left for his own company or is he still designing for apple?
    The home pod looks nice though.

    For what exactly though? How many are doing high end gaming on a phone?

    Maybe with FIVE GEE.

    That blue really looks awesome.

    I'm thinking more future proofing things. One thing I love about iOS/iPhones is I never really notice much slow down even on a 2-3 year old device.

    Same on my end. It's three years now since I purchased the X so would usually upgrade now or would have done so already.

    I'm definitely seriously tempted but I'm not feeling that 'must have' wow factor that I had many times before.

    Although some of that is down to how the last few generations seem to age better than the earlier years. My X isn't knackered yet, many of my other previous iPhone's were on their last legs after two years!

    Yes, and then you get Apple haters saying they're a waste of money and/or we're all sheep and they ignore this stuff.
