Apple’s online store is down ahead of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro pre-orders, which are expected to be available at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time in the…

I remember when new iPhone releases would make headlines and people would crowd around computers to watch the live announcements. I remember sneaking out of work early once so I could be home in time to watch it with my housemates. Nowadays they’re so boring they barely get mentioned.
That’s a good thing, it’s a sign that smartphones as a technology have matured.
But it’s also boring. Innovation is fun.
Maybe we will see that kind of innovation in the VR space if the Apple headset really becomes the next big thing, but I have my doubts.
The $3500 price tag in times when nothing is affordable isn’t going to help.
Yeah the prospect of throwing down a couple of months rent… for precisely what value add (?) is going to be a hard sell for Apple.
Yeah you can watch a film, on your own, on a big virtual screen for $3500 rather than watch the tv that you already own in the company of your friends and family for free.
Or you can use your computer, but with a big floating virtual screen, which is a good thing I guess for $3500, or buy a large real monitor for $100+ dependant on demands, and not wear a heavy dorky headset with limited battery life.
There is nothing that other tech doesn’t do for cheaper (and often better) even when you combine the price of the multiple products you would have to buy to cover all use cases. Except maybe viewing weird 3D photos… great.
This product is isolating and antisocial with limited battery and it’s hugely expensive with no good usp. Looks to me like a rare Apple L.
Boring is good on a device that you use for anything critical. Boring is also good to reduce e-waste.
Iterative innovation also has a higher probability of being a net positive than breaking changes.

I never understood that kind of hype. Also people camping in front of cinemas or stores. Why? It’s just some movie or toy. That behavior doesn’t seem healthy.
I watch them for the production value, not the actual hardware lmao
Wouldn’t it be funny if Apple took down their store intentionally so there would be headlines about it?
This happens ahead of every Apple product launch. No one ever covers it except Apple focused sites.

Because the marketing of apple has been the one of a sect for years. Good if it’s changing.
It’s gonna be funny if i15 becomes the bestselling iPhone due to USB-C. And shareholders will be like dude, these open standards actually sell, just go with them next time instead of all the proprietary shit
LMAO. The story will probably be that USB-C was barely being used until Apple wisely decided to start using it and the rest of the world followed suit.
Holy shit can you imagine? It’ll never happen, but like, imagine being able to pick up an Apple Silicon CPU like you’re buying a Ryzen or Intel CPU, and can just plop it in a mobo.
did they change their mind?
