In which I sit in my office in Seattle, watch the Apple live stream and comment on it:
- 10:04am PDT
- I still see the test pattern and schedule. This never would have happened when Steve Jobs was Alive.
- 10:06am
- Time Cook is on, and then the bars come back…
- 10:08am
- Ok, its working again…and fail.
- 10:11am
- It is working again, for now…
- Bigger phones, um, hooray? I guess.
- Phil is talking about % more pixels. Lame…
- Now he’s finally talking about why that matters: two up view.
- Thinner is good though, I guess, as long as it feels solid.
- What is with the translation track?
- And the stream breaks again…
- Something about apps taking advantage of larger displays.
- Desktop-class scaler?
- 10:24, it is working again…
- A8+METAL = FAST GRAPHICS
- BETTER BATTERY LIFE
- New M8 co-processor.
- Distance and elevation estimation.
- Ok, so, I do want one, just to be clear. My iPhone 4s seems a little too old now.
- 10:28am
- Cameras
- Hmm. Focus pixels?… Phase detection autofocus!!! Fast autofocus! YES I MUST HAVE THIS!
- Something about the macro mode that I didn’t catch.
- 10:34am
- Apple broke the internet.
- 120 or 240fps video. Sweet
- Continuous focus for video…
- 10:36am
- More stream breakage
- 64GB for the mid-range for $299 on contract! Yay
- $100 for thoe the 6plus
- Steady incremental improvement can really add up. I was pretty “meh” leading up to this event. I felt the same way when it started, but everything adds up.
- The payment stuff seems pretty important, especially the API…
- One more thing…
- It would be really really awsome if it isn’t a watch.
- Its a new planet!
- And the space ship that will get you there
- No, it really is a watch…
- I must say, it looks really cool…
- …for a watch.
- I’m so over watches…
- At least I thought I was…
- For 10-15 years…
- At least it isn’t called iWatch.
- The personal touch stuff is really interesting…
- I wonder if 3rd party developers will be able to create “watch face” apps.
- I look forward to the bio-mimetic bands for the next version.
- They will graft themselves into your skin.
- Or rather, your skin will incorporate them.
- This is a long-ass video.
- Why does Kevin Lynch seem familiar…
- He’s the former Adobe Flash Evangelist
- Gruber called him a bad hire for Apple…
- Coldplay? What a fucking bozo.
- 3rd party dev support sounds pretty good.
- I’m running out of steam here…
- I wonder how the Apple watch works when you don’t have your phone with you?
- The live stream was working so well, until, another fail.
- So, if Apple Pay is built into Apple watch, and Apple watch works with many versions of iPhone, plus all the accessories, Apple has multiple revenue streams for the Apple watch. I wonder if the pricing will be subsidized.
