I don't get it. Our awe will decrease?

Let me guess, 1mm thinner. 25% more powerful. More AI that doesn't work. A new form factor, so your protectors won't work anymore.

>>106391899 (OP)
Did they make the new iPhone the most slimmest yet?

iPhone air is a testbed for 18 fold

>>106391917
>More AI that doesn't work
Impossible, Apple invented Intelligence (Apple Intelligence).

>>106391928
IT'S HECK 'N THINNER MY DUDE

>>106391946
I don't think so, the iPhone SE is the new Air, same phones, new name

iPhone 17 will be made in bharat

>>106391928
This year, actually, yeah. It's the third one from the left.

Bendgate II coming to a pocket near you.

Width.

Our awe will collapse into the sea when they reveal new AI to scan your device to make sure you're not doing anything illegal.

Applefags should just save their money for this year because next year they're going need $2500 to buy the foldable.

>>106391917
Actually, with iPhone 17 Air you will get 30% decrease in thickness along with 50% decrease in camera.

>>106392006
Thinner phones just get uncomfortable to hold at some point. If you wanna make an ergonomic improvement make the edges rounded instead of hard angles, but they refuse to do that because they wouldn't be able to brag about how they increased the body to screen ratio by 0.001%

I feel like the iPhone 17 Slim/Air/Stickdick will go the way of the mini. It underperforms in sales when it launches and Apple's like "fuck this" as soon as they can. The 18 will come in a slim variant because they can't course-correct in one year's time but it'll be out of the lineup after that.

At least next year we could potentially finally get our first "...and one more thing" since the X.

Hopefully it's something chunky and heavy wihth right angles

Give me a titanium iphone 5S / SE with the latest apple silicon. Physical home button, no giant camera lens bullshit.

Are there actually people who don’t immediately put their phone in a case?

>>106391899 (OP)
nah it's like a loot drop but for awe
you're gonna be drowning in so much awe

>>106392419
hey yeah it's me
again i am not mythical
people keep saying it but im out there

>>106392366
Since they went to the "Dynamic Island" (which is retarded phrasing) I've actually been fine with the look of the front of the phone. The notch was an eyesore but they did finally get rid of it and having that little cut-through along the top of the phone did quite a bit for the visual experience of using the phone.

I heckin love baked apples with cinnamon and sugar!

I refer to this as the "thinness singularity". The idea electronics just get thinner at the expense of any value to the user. It's all aesthetic and no utility.

>>106392419
yes, me.

most likely. apple are absolutely fucking desperate to stop the share price from tanking further and they are going to be making all sorts of wild claims/outright lies in the hopes that it will recover some of the hundreds of billions of dollars they've lost over the last year, and a share price that's 5%+ down for the entire year.

>>106391917
this anon knows. and it won't help them either with whatever they release. they still haven't managed to get ai working well at all and are projected to have finally caught up with everyone else by 2027 or so, all because tim cook told his staff to not spend any money and to use the resources apple has to make a chatgpt clone possible. they couldn't do it. they were offered a chance to by jony ive's ai startup for $1bln.. they passed on that offer. from tim cook all the way down the management ladder, the corporation is run by the biggest losers and most brain damaged of simpletons i've ever seen in the tech world. failing this hard at the ai race is an own goal they'll never recover from.

>>106392849
dangerously based

>>106392419
im not buying a pretty phone to put some ugly ass case on it
if you're not a mongoloid it's easy to get 5-6 years of mileage before any real damage on it, at which point who cares you're switching anyways

>>106391917
I can't wait until this bubble pops.

>The idea electronics just get thinner at the expense of any value to the user
Yep. The Apple Mouse was Patient 0. They have an unhealthy obsession with thinness.

I'm surprised some obese lady hasn't tried cancelling them yet over this because of "subliminal messaging that you need to be thinner!!"

>>106394810
i won't get a new phone for at least a decade. i stopped caring about mobile phones 25 years ago. as long as it rings and i get messages, the fuck do i or anyone need to spend $1k-$2k on a rapidly depreciating asset and already out of date technology as soon as you take it out of the box.

So, they will do the rest of the scopedog now, besides the cameras?

>>106394908
apple won't be releasing anything new or revolutionary. they are in such a desperate position with a dying computer line and a reputation that keeps being shit on, all self inflicted injuries, they're at a point where they'll do and say anything to make sure the share price doesn't sink further. if the rumor is true about a foldable iphone then we'll be witnessing the decline of apple even further than what the vr headset did to them.

>>106394954
>we'll be witnessing the decline of apple even further than what the vr headset did to them
I almost forgot about the vision pro. There was such an artificial push for that product on social media when it launched.
Honestly hilarious how quick it was forgotten by everybody

>>106394874
>the fuck do i or anyone need to spend $1k-$2k on a rapidly depreciating asset and already out of date technology as soon as you take it out of the box
there is no need to
but if you still find the tech and its increments cool, then 1k$ every 5 years is insignificant anyways

>>106394954
They still have a shitload of cash coming out from the phones.
They are the defacto first world phone line.

>>106391917
They're bringing back "fruity colors", then they will go back to brushed aluminum later
Both of these changes will be New Paradigms that change the world both times

>>106394986
it was an absolute disaster that apple made sure to never mention ever again. after reports started coming out about its abysmal sales figures, many of these tech publications instantly dropped the story soon after and called it a day. it's over. not even worth wasting words over. it was that much of a failure. it made the apple lisa and newton look like revolutionary, like someone had been able to travel faster than light. apple is nothing more than an embarrassing shadow of its former self

>>106395021
this "cash" is stuck in european banks and can't be brought back into the united states without getting hit with massive taxes. every few years apple ireland loans money to apple usa, since apple ireland is the true world headquarters for their business affairs, that's if they want to keep avoiding US taxes. since the money is loaned from one business to another (technically apple ireland and usa are not the same business on paper), they avoid the tax rate.
>defacto first
oh. that explains why android is the most popular operating system in the world.. because people are buying iphones? oh that makes total sense, mr. street shitter. i'm glad your curry stained hands were able to correct the record.

Modern Apple is so tasteless and stupid. I worked there and it was nothing but rich Asian, Indian and White kids jerking off and talking about Diversity.

>>106391996
I haven't looked at new phones for a while ... do camera bumps always have their own camera bumps now?

>this "cash" is stuck in EU
>Mr Banker, I have a bank in the EU with $10000000000000 in it. Here is the proof, can I take out a loan against it, here?
>Of course, anon, here you go, glad to be of service

>>106394986
Would have probably been fine if they thought they could charge something less than $3500 for it.
