Apple Keynote. Have I missed something?

I think you are a day early Tony. Next big Apple announcement is tomorrow. You haven't ben fake newsed have you - like the White House earlier?
 
Watching it now. Pretty boring really, iPhone 8 looks like an iPhone 7 but with more CPU/GPU power and a better camera, better screen res and colour etc. No big screen, it still has a home button and screen bezel. Wireless charging is the only big feature so far...
 
Ah, damnit, I fell for the "...one more thing..." thing, there is an iPhone 10 too, and this looks like the fancy high-end thing we were expecting. Full screen etc...
 
The watch can now function without the phone. I think you still to own an iPhone. Might be more useful now.

iPhone X facial recognition... ...can't just take a finger now, need the whole head.

I'm only glancing at the Mac Rumours highlights.
 
I wonder how they see their market split between 8 / 8+ and X? The two models kind of muddies the market for the iPhone users who must have the latest...they haven't mentioned the X price as yet though.
 
1159 € for X. prices already on Apple websites. They're slick, Apple.

Watch is 449€ for the lot - not bad, really.
 
TPA, Ditto on the watch, looks almost like the real deal at last.

Yep and the heart monitoring for arrhythmia would be worth every penny. A full year of angst, specialists, operations etc for Mrs C might have been prevented or at least picked up earlier..
 
£1149 is a bloody stupid amount for a phone, but I have to admit I do want one! Thank you Tory Brexit for making it 20% or so more expensive than it should be...

Exactly. It's not as if Apple put their prices up regular as clockwork every time a new model comes out ...

They actually don't, the iPhone 8 is pretty much the same as the 6S I bought a couple of years back IIRC. The difference here is $999 should be about 700-750 pre-Tory Brexit £, but the exchange rate is now so terrible due to the Brexit collapse of Sterling we get to pay about 20% more for imports. This isn't just Apple, have a look at what say Nagaoka cartridges cost and the iPhone X looks positively good value! This will only get worse as we spiral down the economic shitter, i.e. as soon as we lose EU trade area status Ortofon etc will rise to Nagaoka/Apple levels.
