Other What are you planning on purchasing this year?

[iArneezy]

Currently have the 7+. Either getting XS or last years X depending on the keynote. If I’m not impressed with the XS I hope there’s a price drop on the 2017 X today and I’ll just get that today!

Maybe an iPhone 8 depending on the price cut. Heck maybe even an iPhone 7 if I can find a brand new one at a good price... No interest in the new offerings..

The price drop usually occurs the next business day. If I remember correctly, but non the less a new phone for the weekend.

A new 5K iMac with 8 core i7 cpu, 16 GB ram, 512 GB SSD and the best GPU option.

 

[dcpmark]

I’m ready to buy all of the following TODAY:

An iPhone XS Mini (4.7” with flagship features in an SE body)
A new Ipad Mini 5
A MacMini Pro, or a 6-core 5k iMac

So, I may not be buying anything this year....and in some cases, ever.

If they discontinue the SE - I'll be buying 2 of them to keep in reserve.

Why? The batteries will just go bad.

Why? The batteries will just go bad.

Yeah..if only someone invented a way to replace batteries in cell phones.

And you do know that UNUSED lithium batteries means years without even starting to “go bad”......right??

Literally the easiest of issues to solve

Right, and other than the battery, how many parts in an iPhone with hardly any moving parts go bad? Buying backup iPhones seems like an exercise in sheer pointlessness. Battery will probably leak or swell and ruin the phone in the box long before the phone you're using needs to be replaced for some other bizarre hardware failure.

Not to mention, how horrendously outdated and unsupported the phone will be in every way by the time you get to spare #2.

I’ll go for the updated Apple Watch. Sunk enough into my X between cost+AC+taxes.

 

[Wreckus]

Going to get the X tonight. Today’s announcements didn’t excite me enough to wait. Besides, it’s going to be costly on the carrier subsidy cost.

 

[MasterRattler]

After this Keynote, I'm definitely getting the Series 4 Apple watch and will just keep my X one more year.

 

[Lioness~]

After this event, nothing Apple.

But I’m sure I find something else to spend on.
No problems.

 

[Q-Dog]

Fedex delivered my new SE right before the keynote started. I guess I can open the box now!

 

[pika2000]

Was ready to get a dual SIM iPhone, but with the stupid eSIM crap, I’ll just stick with my 6S and replace its battery. Such a dealbreaker. I don’t want to have my supposedly unlocked iPhone be locked by some stupid carrier (eg. AT&T) just because I happen to travel and use that carrier. What load of bollocks.

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

Definitely an iPhone 8 after watching that keynote. The pricing has gone insane of late and Apple have gone into full take the mick mode lol. It’s not like last years phones are crap anyway.

They are rather expensive. too expensive (but I still update every year lol). I don't understand why they can't slash their prices and sell more.
