I'll be honest: If iWatch is just an iPhone without the mobile stuff in it, I'd buy it. Depends on app support, of course.

[Brehvolution]

Nothing will beat iPhone 4 design ever.

Except the original antennae configuration.

[Dennis]

- iPhone 6 (4.7") is what I will be getting when I move to the US in place of my Danish iPhone 5.

5.5" is too big and too tacky.

[Rufus]

Denmark suffering from brain drain too?

[Himu]

Fuck long ass phones. I'm not a big fan of where android phones are going especially samsung. The note is ridiculous. iPhones size was just perfect for me.

[Joe Molotov]

iPhone 6 better have some advanced waifu technology to compete with Cortana. You can't bring knife waifu to a gun waifu fight.

[Madrun Badrun]

With the size of that thing, I will no longer need to stuff to look impressive. 

[TakingBackSunday]

I'm rocking the first 5, gonna upgrade to the 4.7 inch space gay

more intrigued by the iWatch stuff now at this point though.  Daring Fireball posted some hype-level stuff last night about it.

[Himu]

Is there a summary or video of new features like iWatch and iHealth? thank you.

[Brehvolution]

You need safari to view the live stream? Windows version isn't new enough.

[Eel O'Brian]

answer your watch, brehs

[Brehvolution]

Next gen Retina display....... HD.

[Brehvolution]

The Plus will come with double-paned landscape view.
You can also see the springboard in landscape mode on the Plus.

[Robo]

I'm live blogging from my desk at work.  Some phones are being shown.  Stay tuned for more.

[Brehvolution]

New generation A8 chip, 2 billion transistors and 64-bit support. It's a 20nm process.
The A8 is 50 times faster than the original iPhone.
It's up to 50 percent more energy efficient than the last-gen chip.

[Robo]

Now some other things are on the screen.

[demi]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Brehvolution]

In the hand, the phone looks as thin as a touch.

[Brehvolution]

There are new advanced wireless specs -- 150 Mbps LTE.
VoLTE support is included as well.
WiFi calling will be available on the 6 and 6 Plus.
It will have seamless handoff capabilities as you go from WiFi to cellular and vice versa.

[Steve Contra]

Streaming a hardware event has to be one of the biggest self inflicted Ls you can take.

[Brehvolution]

It has an 8MP iSight camera, with True Tone flash; large, 1.5-micron pixels; and f/2.2 aperture. There's also a new sensor in it to take better photos.

[TakingBackSunday]

6+ is cool and all but I just can't come up with an excuse to get a phone that big, only for a slight pizxel density bump and OIC.  6 for me.

[Dennis]

That Apple Watch


 

[cool breeze]

I'm reading that adults stood up and clapped when they announced a watch

Well, they are American. Fuckers clap at everything.

Waiting for tech sites that took a shit on previous smart watches as unnecessary and extraneous to do that flip and write things like “it just makes sense five stars 99% A+"

[Eel O'Brian]

Look at this fucking thing

[Phoenix Dark]

looks like a photoshop lol

[Eel O'Brian]

This size is useless unless you include sandpaper so users can sand their fingers down to a quarter of their size.

[Phoenix Dark]

Does the demographic that cares about Apple even care about watches, outside of as a vanity item ("oh nice watch, is it expensive?"). Those people aren't looking for a cheap-looking plastic watch with a touch screen.

[Quaker]

These are the same dudes who shit their pants over a gold iPhone last fall.

[Reb]

Yeah, I spend quite some money on wristwatches and I wouldn't enjoy wearing one of those plastic watches.

[WanderingWind]

I'm on my third iPhone and third iPad. But if this is what Apple has in store (HEY KIDS BIGGER SCREEN AND A FIRMWARE UPDATE) this company is going to wither and die. If you were going to upgrade already, great, but there hasn't been anything more than hardware refreshes in how long now?

And fuckouthere with the iWatch.

[Eel O'Brian]

it's a Swatch

it sounds like it's also a fitness band so that might make more sense.

I'm to understand that the wheel on the side flips through the apps.

[Yeti]

[Eel O'Brian]

Actually, I have no prob with larger phones, makes sense for people who use them as their all-day all-in-one computing device.

[Brehvolution]

Waiting for tech sites that took a shit on previous smart watches as unnecessary and extraneous to do that flip and write things like “it just makes sense five stars 99% A+"

Judging by the standing ovation at the end, it will be any moment.

[T-Short]

"The AppleWatch Edition is made from 18k gold, up to twice as hard as standard gold."

Apple just dissed gold, y'all 

[TakingBackSunday]

I think the watch looks cool :

[Mr. Gundam]

Is the standard 6 the same size as the 5? I want a phone that size for the case I bought in Japan.

[TakingBackSunday]

That is true

[TakingBackSunday]

Is the standard 6 the same size as the 5? I want a phone that size for the case I bought in Japan.

4.7 inches

[demi]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz

[Mr. Gundam]

4.7 inches

So I'll be getting a 5S later this month when the price drops. Cool.

[Steve Contra]

So the watch can do everything your phone can do except a lot of things?  Cool, definitely see the need for that.

[T-Short]

Hey BrandNew, you could develop an AppleWatch app that keeps track of wrist movement and displays a sad face emoji when fapping #nofapseptember

[Eel O'Brian]

And apparently you still need the phone for it to do anything at all

[huckleberry]

If you followed The Verge livestream you could have seen it happening in real time. The same exact guys.

[T-Short]

[cool breeze]

best part of the watch is using it as a viewfinder for your phone camera

[nudemacusers]

"The AppleWatch Edition is made from 18k gold, up to twice as hard as standard gold."

Apple just dissed gold, y'all 

well, you probably don't want electronics housed in 24k gold.

(Image removed from quote.)

yesssss

The watch will definitely be cool to dig into, development wise.  I wonder if it works with Apple's iBeacon technology.

Pretty eh conference.  I'll be getting the 6, and keep an eye on the Watch.  Probably won't bite on one until the next iteration.
