I sincerely hope we can all collectively pressure Apple to at least give us the USB speeds from the year — checks notes:
1. 2008 — 5Gbit/s, (USB3.0)
2. 2013 — 10Gbit/s (USB3.1)
3. 2017 — 20Gbit/s (USB3.2)
4. 2019 — 40Gbit/s (USB4)
5. 2022 — 80Gbit/s (USB4v2)
🤦🏻‍♂️🫠

Anything over current year 2000 - 0.48Gbit/s (USB2.0) will be an improvement🙄

How come you care about 120hz on #iPhone17 but not about the fact that it takes literally 20 times longer to transfer files?!

5 minutes vs 1.5+ hours!

And Airdrop is still way slower and less reliable than the cable btw!

Why’s nobody calling Apple out on this absolute nonsense now that they’re using USB-C!

#AppleEvent

I absolutely love this guy, and I really want to believe he’s an actual Apple Store employee—please don’t shatter my illusions, ThankYouVeryMuch.

But, is there anyone unsure about which new iPhone they’re going to buy? (I know, I know. Not the point.)

On "Live Translation" from Apple's press release:

"Live Translation with AirPods works on AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and AirPods Pro 2 and later with the latest firmware when paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone running iOS 26 and later."

and:

Supports English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, later this year Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

As an alternative to my previous post, here's the kind of Apple Event lookback I am used to. Far less detail, but it MOVES...

Cook’s been coasting on Steve Jobs’ reputation for over a decade. he’s peddled himself as the CONTINUED privacy champion at Apple; to keep it different from Google, Facebook, Amazon.

so he’s been coasting on reputation he didn’t even earn.

and there he was with Zuckerberg, Pinchar, Bezos not only clapping for Trump not even hours after the elections, but licking his boots willingly since then.

nobody is safe using the phone of a fascist supplicant.

iPhone mini was branded along with the model (iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini).

iPhone Air is just Air (capital "A") not the iPhone 17 Air.

This following the iPhone SE convention? So we might not see a new Air next year, but eventually an iPhone Air (2nd gen)?

#AppleEvent

if you’ve been living under a rock these past few months before today’s #AppleEvent here’s two links as a quick refresher on Tim Cook’s latest fascist bootlicking asshattery:

Apple CEO Tim Cook bends the knee to Donald Trump https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-ceo-tim-cook-bends-173140460.html

Tim Cook says ‘thank you’ 8 times in less than two minutes at dinner with Donald Trump https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/India/tim-cook-says-thank-you-8-times-in-less-than-two-minutes-at-dinner-with-donald-trump-he-was-super-nervous/ar-AA1LZ4X5

FWIW : if you’re a minority targeted by fascists, Apple’s closed ecosystem is now a hostage situation with Cook’s allegiance to Trump

I haven’t scrolled up far enough to hit whatever #AppleEvent discourse is in my feed here, but my 2¢:

I had been going to replace my iPhone 15 Pro Max with an iPhone 16 Pro, but Apple may have just sold me on a 17 Pro though the very subtle trick of: making it orange

I actually dig the iPhone Air, and I wonder if this is the engineering groundwork for a foldable 🤔

Centre stage selfie cam is actually a chunky upgrade; want!

The cross-body loop option is cute!

Those burnt orange phones are gonna be selling out faster in Texas than Franklin's BBQ.

🍎 Well, Apple didn’t mention iOS 26 during their #AppleEvent but…

I can finally reveal that iOS 26 will be available on September 15 🥳

You’ve heard it from me first… unless you knew it already 🙃

#Apple#iOSdev

Did anything in today's Apple Event strike you as an innovation?

- iPhone Air?
- Thermally conductive aluminum unibody
- Vapor chamber?
- 8x optical zoom?
- Ceramic Shield 2?
- Center Stage front camera

Something else?

Before you pre-order a new Apple device, consider repairing your current one. You can make it feel like new, save money, and keep another device from becoming e-waste. #AppleEvent#RighttoRepair
