We did tune in a bit after the event started, did they say when iOS 15 will be released to the public? I assume it will be some time mid next week, but thought I check to see if somebody knows the exact date. I will probably wait for a few days past the official release this time, last year as

OK, then I missed it as well and it's too bad it still is only in the Pro models, I just don't see the need for spending the extra money for a Pro model where with the iPhone 13 Pro the main differences to the 13 are the camera system, the Pro Motion display and I guess the Lidar. Let's see if

Good choice, especially with a 12 Pro Max there is even less reason, just 1 generation behind with both phone and watch, upgrading every year increasingly is becoming a thing of the past for most people other than those who think they always have to have the latest. From:

The newest Apple Watch 7 has of course a faster processor, they have managed to reduce the bezel around the edges which means the display area is larger even though the watch itself is only ever so slightly larger, this I think is definitely a good thing. The shape of the watch is also slightly

That's a wonderful executive summary Sieghard. I also watch the event waking up at the ungodly hour of 3 am in Australia and was not impressed. I'm on the 12 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 6. Will not be upgrading any hardware this year. Sincerely, Sadam Mohamed Ahmed > On 15 Sep 2021, at

We checked the details and LIDAR is only in the pro models again, so those rumors were wrong. But, the new iPad Mini with the same A15 chip as the new phones was a bit of a surprise announcement to me. I hadn’t read any rumors of the new iPads being part of today’s event. I’m going to take

Hello, I don’t really see the need to upgrade this year either. It was a rather underwhelming Keynote. The iPad mini did look nice though. Also the base storage for all the phone models is now 128gig. If I were to upgrade I would actually trade in my normal iPhone 12 for an iPhone 12 Pro max

You are right, Arnold, I somehow thought the 5C was released in 2014 along with the 6 and 6 Plus, but it was released in 2013 along with the 5S as a lower cost alternative and basically with iPhone 5 components so if somebody still has a working iPhone 5C this means it would now be 8 years old

Not typically, if I remember correctly the 5C and 6 only go as far as iOS 12 and unless somebody discovers something very bad it is unlikely Apple will release further updates. These were phones released in 2014 so they are now 7 years old and I think it is pretty normal that that is about as

As you know, they have been releasing security updates over the past year for the phones that won't update past IOS 12, the latest being 12.5.4. As for whether they will issue an update for this latest threat, which sounds like a serious threat to me, I don't know. Keep in mind that in a few
