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 the plunge into the 13 pro and my wife is going to settle for taking my SE 2020 to replace her first gen SE. The SE 2020 would be worth at most $170 in trade, so rather than buying two new iPhones, I’ll get the fancier one and she can still use it for picture taking when she wants, or stick with the very fine camera in the SE 2020.

I should mention that I have an iPhone 11 and an Apple Watch 6 and my wife has an iPhone 11 Pro and also an Apple Watch 6 and we also have whatever was last year's latest basic iPad. I found today's announcements somewhat underwhelming, the new iPad Mini sounds nice, but the Apple Watch 7 certainly isn't an upgrade I would consider and neither is the iPhone 13. A huge amount of time was spend on the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro phones new camera systems and in the case of the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max also on the Pro Motion display with its up to 120 Hz refresh rate, for most blind people this is of little relevance. I was also surprised that no mention was made whether Lidar now is in all iPhone 13 models or still only in the Pro models, maybe I missed it, but I don't think so. Conclusion: no new Apple toys for us this year, but I look forward to next year's announcement of the Apple Watch 8 and iPhone 14, maybe we'll see some more compelling new features. Of course there is still more news expected about Airpods which were not mentioned with a single word so who knows, maybe I'll buy my wife a new headset for Christmas, I am still holding out for whenever Sonos will release their headset. Until then we'll save our hard-earned Dollars since I am also looking at upgrading our 25-year old mid efficiency gas furnace with a new high efficiency model and heat pump and that's a big one in terms of cost, if I want to finance this from not upgrading our iPhones we'll have to keep our current ones for another 10 years 🤣 Best regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
