The 9/9/2014 Apple Launch Event Thread

That's why Apple doesn't do live streams very often. They're typically not very good at cloud stuff. I'm curious about how many people are trying to view it though and how bad their infrastructure is getting hammered.

Did they not think people were going to like...I don't know....watch the stream? Absolutely terrible.

Streams in the past worked though... Its likely the fact they're doing it off campus this year at a local community college. Not Moscone where they're used to streams and high audience events.

Didn't Google know people were going to, like, buy the Nexus 5?

 

[Mondozei]

It's shocking how shitty Apple is at such a simple thing.

 

[Anubis]

should have just put it on youtube

 

[GTRagnarok]

Gave up on the stream...Anyways, 25% faster CPU and 50% faster GPU is pretty modest compared to their past releases, especially with twice as many transistors.

 

[Ravynmagi]

Haha.. Apple reposted a tweet on their live stream page that says...

"Whoa. The iPhone 6 is 50% faster than the original iPhone. #AppleEvent"

They meant 50 times faster.

yea that's a pretty funny goof

Man, they are flying through iPhone stuff.

This make me think they really don't expect the iPhone 6 to be the big news here.

Well, its pretty much been leaked/known for months already.

Yeah. The new M8 motion processor stuff looks interesting. I imagine that will be a big part of their watch or whatever it is.

 

[Imported]

Just give me the release date already.

 

[bearxor]

I was afraid we might have to had wait until next year for VoLTE so I'm happy to see it there.

Stream is working well running about 30 seconds behind live.

Seeing a lot of good stuff I want in my next phone. The 4.7 version may just be what I look at. Debating if I really want to jump to a larger phone.

 

[Oyeve]

Friday.

 

[Imported]

Friday.

No wonder everyone's camped outside!

OIS in the iPhone 6+ seals the deal for me.

Curious how they improve on the google now walking distance stuff thats been around for a few years now. Also curious how they handle calibration on the barometer, my dad had a barometer watch and it worked pretty well but he needed to recalibrate it pretty regularly to get decent accuracy.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

43 MP panoramas... lol nice.

 

[dawheat]

Seriously unless something picks up soon, I think Samsung is pretty happy with how the Note 4 matches up with the IP6+.

 

[Kaido]

Going to be interesting to see how the new sensor stacks up. Although I want more megapixels, sticking with 8 MP is going to make editing & saving faster on the new processor. I feel that although the pictures look better on the 5S over my 4S, the overall camera was a step down, particularly for macro & autofocus. I miss my 4S because of that.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

One thing I'll give them. I've been extremely happy with the camera on my 5s and it looks like the 6 improves upon it.

 

[Kaido]

43 MP panoramas... lol nice.

As long as I don't have to transfer it over USB 2.0 :biggrin:

Curious if the new 240 FPS mode is in full 1080p...

 

[Anubis]

43 MP panoramas... lol nice.

yea im not even sure WTF that even means
