Yea I’ve actually been looking into replacing my Series 3 Apple Watch with a Garmin Fenix 6 pro. I’ve been doing a lot more hiking lately and need much better battery and would like the better Navigation. Wish Apple would make something similar because overall I love the Apple Watch and how well it works together with all my Apple devices.

I want to wait for the IPhone 14 because they say that is going to be the next significant change to the iPhone, but will my iPhone 11 make it another year? I just paid it off last month and part of me doesn’t want another 50+ a month phone payment.

I want a new MacBook with MagSafe. I guess that’ll be later in the year.



They typically announce that at the apple event in October. Unless it falls in November for some reason.

I’ve thought about upgrading my MacBook Pro for a while but I also want to hold out for a while and see how much longer it will last. Than again my MacBook is only 3 years old. It should last a couple years more.

fricking Tim Cook. This guy is terrible.

The new watch doesn’t match the newer iPhones and macs like everyone assumed it would. Still has rounded sides.

No breakthrough sensor.

They should just let Elon Musk be CEO.

OMG, what a cluster...

ETA specially since they squared off the new 13.

I’ve been a Fitbit guy for years now but have been considering switching to Apple Watch. I wasn’t blown away by this watch so I may wait longer.

Fitness plus may be the only reason to switch because you must have an Apple Watch to use it.

I miss the crowds at these events, this year wouldn’t have had much reaction to all of this

Ah, I must have missed that.

Seems like Apple is just bridging to next years next gen stuff.

Thought that outdoors/peaks/trail/hiking app or whatever it was looked pretty cool. Just saw a glance of it so missed what it was called or was.

This cinematic mode is cool and all, but how many will actually use this to its full potential.

Great. Now any idiot with an iPhone 13 can make a Wes Anderson movie.

Yea that watch announcement was depressing. I have the Series 5 and there's not much reason to upgrade.
Slightly larger... slightly better battery. Meh, I'll hold off.

If it wasn't for Apple Fitness+ and competitions with my friends, I'd probably just move to Garmin or Suunto.
