I thought the wireless charging would charge without the phone having to be in contact with something. The power mat shyt is not a game changer.
Unless something has changed, you still have to plug in the mat :russ:


nikkas trading in one cord for another. And then you still gotta keep it in one location anyway. :stopitslime:

How do you use your for phone while it's charging wirelessly?
Pick it up and it stops charging. Put it back down and it's charging again

I mean I can see what they doing. You at your desk and you got your phone on a cord. You can sit there and use it, but spin around one time and it's being yanked out. iPhone cords suck anyway so that constant in and out cause them to fray with the quickness as well.


So you get a map. It charges on the map. When you need to pick it up and use it, you have no worries bout a cord getting in the way or being too short or forgetting it's on there.


That's just isn't a big deal to a techie. Be actually wireless and it's amazing. This is some shyt I swear been out for a decade now

Extra $10 a month on your bill for LTE watch, 1st 3 months free. I probably won't cop the LTE watch since there's a monthly fee. There won't be too many times where I won't have my phone on me. I had an LTE iPad and never used outside the house so the extra money for it was wasted.
But you won't just be paying for that cellular radio. The LTE-equipped Apple Watch requires its very own phone plan as well. We've just confirmed it'll cost you an extra $10 a month in the US -- on top of your existing phone plan -- regardless of whether you pick AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile.

Not including a fingerprint sensor in the X is the dumbest move that Apple could have done. Apple better hope Face ID works a lot better than when they demoed it on stage, and even if it does work well, it still wouldn't be better than having Touch ID. Apple going backwards with the X. If I was an Apple guy, I would go with the bezelness 8 just for Touch ID.

Some is really making shyt difficult. Removing the home button. And the 3.5mm jack. And of course the new MacBooks don't have USB ports despite the fact that the damn phone needs one to sync to the damn computer. :wtf:
umm I'm pretty sure they use USB C which is the future...most new android phones use it

Just getting caught up.

Wait TouchID is getting replaced with FaceID? :wtf:

Why not just give us the option?

That notch is fukkin awful :russ: Was hoping they'd be aware enough and prevent apps access to it. :snoop:

Face ID looks like a pain in the ass.

Is apple care even worth it?

Yall really allowing them to set this overpricing precedent. I'm apple through and through but :francis:

We really going to condemn Face ID and the screen before you even get hands on? Face ID looks amazing, I expect it to work damn good and I'm Google Set all day. The notch will look fine and everyone will get used to it, yall acting like old men right now lol

New Apple watch looks dope too. Electronic sim card, cellular, gps, nfc, and still the same form factor as last watch series. I wish a android wear manufacturer could produce a thinner designed smartwatch. The Samsung gear and LG watch sport are too damn thick.
