Watch the Apple Special Event

I'm watching it now, they just unveiled the iPhone 6s and 6s+. I have to watch it for work of course. Try not to hate too much

Some notes so far:

• New Apple TV with Siri and touch controls
• iPad Pro with Surface-like Keyboard and Note-like Pen Stylus.
• 3D Touch
• 3Rd party complication support for Apple Watch.
• Live Photos
• Charging Docks and other accessories
• Easy Android to iOS Transfer
• iPhone Upgrade plan

They just couldn't throw in the stylus could they? Starting price point of $799 for an oversized iPad. No stylus.

Apple TV or Roku 3?

 

[Ollie]

Roku 3 unless you want to mirror your iDevices.

yeah....I don't see this hitting a huge market. That's what MacBooks are for. Why not make those touch??

Animated Wallpapers? Force Touch!? Are you kidding me?

Force Touch? Android has had that for years - Pocketnow

That's what I was waiting for...a touchscreen MBP. I guess that gives Apple something later down the line to tout as their next One More Thing...

in all honesty, like the article states, this is just going to add too much complexity. There are going to be so many people claiming screen is broken from misstouches and all that noise with random right-click menus popping up all over the place....ugh....

 

[Ollie]

It's called 3D Touch now.

 

[thunderbolt_nick]

Live Photos...I think you mean Google Photos.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Touch lightly for one option, touch harder for more. Yeah. That's gonna work great...

 

[thunderbolt_nick]

Not gonna lie though. Gaming on the Apple Tv looks awesome

 

[Ollie]

But you could weigh things with your phone!

 

[dezymond]

Nothing amazing or even unexpected. The iSheep already flocking to the stores.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Meh. I've got an Xbone for gaming on my 60 inch TV. I like the separation.

App in the Play store to help you switch to iphone.
