Apple Event Confirmed

Why is there so much drop off on the battery?

There’s something seriously suspect as to that new watch. The more I see, the more I’m convinced there was an absolutely massive issue with a whole new model that looked like the leaks.

Also funny, how many people like myself were happy just to have a redesign without other sensors etc. Wasn’t super convinced about the rumoured look, but I’m just bored of the same old design.

As others have said the last few iPhone releases have really struggled to generate much excitement outside of those are deep into tech and Apple. I'm on an 11 pro max and would normally be looking at upgrading this year, I might still upgrade but I'm not as enthusiastic as I'd normally be or trawling the likes of Macrumours to see what people are thinking.

It continues to disappoint that Apple don't offer the iPhone upgrade program over here, would happily sign up to that and upgrade each year but when that's not available and the trade in program is so bad it makes upgrading from a newish model a real pain.

I agree, look at a Samsung Galaxy S20 and S21, a year on year improvement just like the 12 to the 13 (in fact the S21 is worse in some cases than the previous phone).

I'd disagree that 1TB storage on a phone is marketing blurb. Yes there's no need for it now or only for a small subset of people who'd use an iPhone as a 4k cinema camera but they need to keep pushing this forward, remember the iPhone 4/4S/5/5S/6/6S era all came with a measly 16gb (even at the time it was rough), whilst 1TB won't be that measly, we can't end up in that same situation 10 years from now 🙂.

Mine has dropped to 92% so far not happy about it

Lads don't get too hung up on the battery health percentages, it will unlikely get to a point where it will adversely affect your usage of the device. You'll most likely upgrade before it will and if you don't a battery swap is very reasonable anyways.

Yep. Even though my 11 was down to 89% i hardly noticed any difference..

Surprised people dont see the 120hz screen as a major feature. TBH its the only reason I want the phone, everything else is meh! Its the biggest change to our visual engagement with an iPhone since the 'Retina Display'.

Same here, i also charge my iPhone 11 to 100% every night, for the last two years and its battery health is 88%

You'd pay less for a 55 OLED LG with 120hz.

It’s the only reason im considering an upgrade from a 12. I went with the standard 12 last year with the intention of maybe upgrading it 120Hz came with this one. Although it’s something I’ve personally wanted for years so just glad it’s actually here. The rest of the changes are a bit meh.

I don’t. The only thing i have thats usb-c is my MBP. Everything else is lightning. To use anything with the MBP I have to use adaptors, PITA.
