[Corsi]

[jayhoz]

YES VoLTE!!!!
Please support 5S!

Who the hell talks on their phone?

 

[bohous]

Meh, talking a lot about the camera but saying nothing. Bit of a let down.

Cameras in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are nearly identical, but iPhone 6 Plus is getting optical image stabilization.

I wish, i'm on the phone 6+ hours a day.

 

[bohous]

Only "plus" getting OIS? Doesn't pretty much every Android flagship have this standard now?

My LG G3 has it.

 

[jayhoz]

Silicone cases?  Why would someone want to wrap metal and glass in jelly?

There are new silicon cases for each iPhone, in six colors, including a Product (RED) version. Phones come in gold, silver, space gray.

 

[derekson]

Wish they'd offer a 32 GB for 249 on contract. I don't need 64 GB on my freaking phone.

 

[jayhoz]

Sept. 19th launch.  All the leaks seem to be true.

Launching September 19

 

[Silverdude2167]

IPhone 6 Plus 100 more across the board the IPhone 6. Makes sense.

 

[Nick Kaufman]

Normal pricing for iPhone 6
 
$299 for 64gb
$399 for 128gb

 
That's to buy outright with no carrier subsidy? That can't be.

 

[Silverdude2167]

With 2 year contract.

 

[bohous]

This. Plus I would like more than 16gb. And $299 on contract for 6 Plus is overpriced considering its $100 more than similar sized Android devices

 

[NortheasternPJ]

FIRE TIM COOK. Oh wait,new product category? BUY BUY BUY

 

[zenter]

Apple engineers came up with WiFi calls? Come on Phil.

This live stream is a tragedy.  Horrible job. 

 

[bohous]

So, no sapphire glass, no NFC, no significant camera upgrade. Not overwhelmed here.

 

[DukeSox]

How will clash of clans look on the 6+, thats all i want to know

 

[derekson]

So, no sapphire glass, no NFC, no significant camera upgrade. Not overwhelmed here.

 
That was NFC demonstrated, wasn't it?

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Looks like NFC to me...

 

[bohous]

Oops, looks like NFC is happening... Applepay. Horrible name

 

[bohous]

Yeah, my feed crapped out just before he started talking Applepay

 

[NortheasternPJ]

I may buy an iPhone 6 outright for ApplePay if it's widely adopted.

 

[zenter]

This live stream is a tragedy.  Horrible job. 

 
Fool me once...
 
Apple simply doesn't know how to execute cloud, social, big data, whatever. They fail at this set of functions every time. I cannot remember a time their livestream worked. I bet they'll be calling up IBM to learn how to do this later today.

Except for NFC, this is more or less as rumored. 8 MP is still solid for a phone shooter, so that's not a big deal. Really, I see this announcement as lawsuit-bait from Samsung for moving the power button to the right-hand side.

You get the same experience with pretty much any Android phone today.

With biometrics?

 

[ifmanis5]

ApplePay, it worked for Jennifer Lawrence.

 

[derekson]

Yeah, this is the first iPhone that I'm considering buying between my 2 year upgrades.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

What the fuck is Eddy Cue wearing?

 

[jayhoz]

 
With biometrics?

Not with biometrics no.

I am sure I am missing something but what stops you from taking a picture of someone else's card.
 

 
 
You can also take a picture of your own credit card and add it.

 

[zenter]

Is ApplePay just rebranded PayPass? It feels like it.

 

[derekson]

I am sure I am missing something but what stops you from taking a picture of someone else's card.
 

 
He mentioned something about going to the bank and verifying that it's you.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Is ApplePay just rebranded PayPass? It feels like it.

 
I think it's a variation of it and using the same technology. 
 
My Chase Visa has had this for years and I love it. 

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Integrated with the apps are pretty cool

And the crowd goes wild for Whole Foods

ApplePay sounds cool, but this clearly tells you the type of people in the audience.

Considering that Apple uses a lot of EMC infrastructure for it's Cloud services, I don't think this is exactly true.

Rich people with money to burn? As a stockholder, fuck yeah. Who else would you want as your customers?

 

[ifmanis5]

One more thing...

 

[jayhoz]

ApplePay online seems novel and convenient.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Give me an iwatch with NFC and payment processing and i'm in.

 

[derekson]

I wonder if the watch will support apple pay. That'd be a nice way to skip updating my phone for the year if so.

 

[Silverdude2167]

They build things up so well. The best by miles.
