Apple Event on Sept 14 – “California streaming” (developer.apple.com)

I'm curious to see what features the next iPhone comes with -- if it's limited to things like screen refresh rates and 'better' 5G (with Qualcomm's X60) it won't be a super compelling update to people with iPhone 12s, but would be huge for anyone with an 11 or prior. I hope it's not just stuff like a better camera for taking pictures of the sky and some 120Hz refresh rates.

With the imminent (beginning of 2022) release of C-Band in the USA, anyone who upgrades every two years would benefit hugely from a phone that supports n77/n78 (as well as n48 when CBRS goes 5G). I wouldn't be surprised to see the Verizon CEO out there to talk about this, and a big push to get them in peoples' hands to alleviate network strain by having more phones capable of using more frequency.

Beyond that, I have high hopes for a 13"/14" M1/M2 MBP refresh, which would instantly become my next personal laptop.

With Apple's focus on Services revenue, I'm also quite curious to see what'll get launched this year.


I'm guessing I'll be waiting until next year, but I'm hoping that they'll announce a new 16" MBP that runs on an M1 successor. As nice as portability is, I love the screen space of 15-16" laptops.


I’m using an iPhone X still, and looking to upgrade soon. But I don’t think ground breaking improvements are necessary every new model.

My previous phone prior to this one was an iPhone 7 Plus. And before that I had a dumb phone paired with an iPod touch. Prior to that some random Android phone.


I'll buy one only if it gets higher PWM frequencies.


Anyone understands why this uses developer subdomain?

While this is HN the event I guess is also for non-developer audience.


How do you know? Could be a developer-centric stream, couldn’t it?


No, because it’s advertised on the main Apple homepage.


Oh, wasn’t aware of that.


That must just be how the particular HN submitter found it. It’s advertised on the Apple homepage with a link to a non-developer events page.


This link seems to have been the first posted to HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28446620


I'm presuming since that one is to twitter instead of Apple, that this one gets preference as source.
