Apple Announces iPhone Event for September 12

I'm really curious where they're going with the pricing. I'm hoping they put the Max at 999 and the X at 899. If they make the r 749 they'd still be getting more than the base model 8. That's at least the pricing I'm hoping for. Then I can upgrade to the max with no difference in payment.
It's not just a new watch face. It's a whole larger display on the Apple Watch Series 4 that supports a denser watch face.
No iPad Pro??
I was already waiting until last June on the possible refresh to get a one. Dunno if I can wait much longer but it will suck to see a new released less than a year from now.
The question is: Is the XR going to be an "upgrade" to your X. The screen is supposedly LCD, i.e. worse.
The XR might be X internals with a sub-X screen in a new, more colorful body. Similar to how the 5C was just an iPhone 5 in colorful plastic (yet with the same screen as the 5)
Damn.
Guess it just means more time to save lol.
Anyone know roughly when the October event will be?

It's unsurprising. That kind of stuff is more reserved for an October event. iPhone event is for the iPhone to shine, Apple Watch tags along because it's iPhone's son.
I don't think they ever released a new iPad with a new iPhone before? It's always in Fall or spring
That's true, but since it was already expected in the spring event, there were lots of rumours around that it would be announced now. Will there be an October event this year?
Seeing how many SKUs there are, if you're willing to compromise on color or storage, you might be able to easily grab one.
I was sitting out on the action last year, but in the "7 / 7S" year, it was mostly the glossy piano black 7 and 7+ that were hard to get, even 2 weeks in.
It will all depend on the configuration you want. Higher storage (512GB for example) usually sell out first, you may have to wait a month or two. You'll be able to walk into any store at any time and pick up some models with no trouble. Preorder is supposedly starting this friday at 3AM eastern
yeah some investigation to be done for sure. But if it is X internals with a downgraded screen (LCD, lower res) but physically larger, that really can't justify a high price. and XS internals with larger but less quality screen could be argued to be better than XS (lower res screen will mean faster, physically bigger screen)
that twitter link showing yellow and coral sounds interesting. I'd potentially be up for a bright yellow phone
Quite surprised they are doing a 128GB model of the Xr, that will be the sweet spot for a lot of people. They usually stick to 64/256GB to 'force' people up to the more expensive model.
Wait, so we're not getting an iPad Pro this year? I've been waiting just for this announcement...
The original iPad Pro back in 2015 was announced in the September event.
I bet we get another Apple Event in October for stuff like the iPad Pro and the Air.
That being said while today usually is reserved for iPhones and Watches I get why people wanted or expected more. It feels like some of these other products would have been announced already at other events throughout the year, and people got nada.
So yeah consumers are restless.

Tell me about it, i'd love a colorful phone - although, with those glass backs, i'm likely going to be putting it in a case (rocked the caseless life up until my iPhone 7 now); and the front is all-screen anyways so i guess we're not going to miss out on much.
And personally, i'd assume the lineup is going to look like this, considering they tend to keep the previous 2 generations available in their store.
Premium Tier: iPhone XS / XS Max: Apple A12 processor
"Last year's hardware": iPhone XR: Apple A11 processor (basically the X with an LCD screen at a larger size, but only one camera)
"Entry model": iPhone 7: Apple A10 processor.
Which would mean the iPhone 8 and X are gone just after 1 generation.
Another constellation might be switching to "all-screen" phones entirely by:
Premium Tier: XS / XS
"Last Year's": X (drop the 8)
"Entry model": XR with iPhone 7 internals.
The iOS will get a date. My guess is the 19th. It's the week of the phone release date usually.
MacOS I'm not sure, but iOS positively. It will be a few days before the new iPhones are released. And like a week earlier for developers and I think for people on the public beta too.
New phones are so boring these days.
Wake me up when apple come up with another leap frog product.

Someone needs to fix the thread title. It's bugging me out.
Naming convention for the phones is weird until you remember it's said "ten" not "X." iPhone Ten S, isn't too bad.

And the Ten R. It's the cheapest one so it only costs like a tenner.
What makes you think Apple is going to keep the 7 but retire the 8?
Doesn't really make sense to me. If they are keeping a touchID model around (and I'm sure they are), I'd reckon it'd be the 8 models.
I don't see the 128GB you're referring to.
That would be a sweet spot for me.
Edit: Ah, that's the XR. Bummer.
