Apple and their new speed products: a subjective review of the presentation

A subjective review of Apple's presentation with criticism of 5G, iPhone 12, LiDAR and accessories, as well as praise for HomePod mini.

Apple and their new speed 💊

Very funny presentation. At a couple of moments I screamed out loud from the bottom of my heart.


Hidden behind the “new speed innovations” was an insidious 5G 🤨

5G for us, residents of the European part of the planet, is already a sore subject and not at all new 😏



“5G is cool!”

— a brief summary of the 40-minute presentation


Knowing the specifics and problems of the Internet connection and price of this connection in the United States of America, we can say that Apple talked about space for 40 minutes. Yes, the speed increase is large, and all smartphones in 2021 should support 5G, but what did you do for this?

Here's what They they did it for this - next song


iPhone 12

almost similar, but it's an iPhone 5

In principle, Apple did not even hide the fact that for 5G and super new products, super speeds and super expenses for the Internet, you need a super antenna.

Therefore they reinvented old case format. The same 5S.


I cannot evaluate this decision impartially.

Parachny body, crutch solution.


However, we were pleased with the LiDAR sensor.

The 3 glasses needed to be balanced, so the flash was placed on top and the LiDAR on the bottom. I was very afraid for the cameras, that they would make them like bastards. But no, it looks quite logical and not disgusting.

It wasn't the cameras that let me down this time 😞


In principle, this is the end of the part of the presentation that interests me.


A little more toxicity:

Apple ProRaw - not a revolution. Raw photos can be pulled out of an iPhone and played for a very long time. I don’t know people who would take care of such a daughter on a regular basis. This is the same as shooting a Hollywood movie with a camera with Mickey Mouse.


MagSafe - a case that you can buy for your baht so that he doesn’t lose his pension certificate or Troika card. I personally didn’t find any meaning in it. I just felt nostalgic for the MacBook MagSafe.


4K HDR — another step in best camera performance. But the further it goes, it becomes funnier for people from the professional industry (10-bit, for them), but it becomes more incomprehensible for ordinary people. The camera films the same shit as before)

At least honestly shown.

Still, professionals, when they forget their RED Scarlet-X at home, take it and shoot it on their iPhone.

50% GPU | 70% ML AI | 50% CPU — they pleased us, oddly enough, with a 5-nanometer technical process. I don’t understand much about this part of the hardware, but as far as I understand - less process and better performance, these are completely independent and incredibly complex tasks. If you reduce the technical process, you can drink shit and not get an increase in productivity. The guys from Apple didn’t drink, but they got an increase.

True, they will then cut 85% of the CPU for you with software, after a couple of years of using the smartphone... We need to force you to buy new ones.


LiDAR on iPhone is top

True, I now thought why it was needed at all and how they got to this point.


I think it went like this:

They tinkered with their 3 cameras and realized at some point that they could add depth. Just because it's possible. Why people need this is still not clear. Place furniture around the room? Using a crooked tape measure to measure distance? Should we put a Tyrannosaurus on the playground? Somehow the technology is developing, but for what purpose - it feels like no one knows.




Will you take a phone charger? ⚡️


Simple math.

The box contains a phone 📱 + headphones 🎧 + charger 🔋 = $999

We are removing the charger.

How much will the price change?



Right.


And why?

Because ecology.




Well, actually, just as the Apple presentation is about nothing, so is this article.

In any case, you have already drawn your own conclusions, and I recorded my thoughts and emotions.

Let's say goodbye.



Although wait... I'm not only a toxic person, but also a capitalist.

HomePod mini top

The speaker market is growing in breadth and there are not that many price ranges.

There are expensive speakers, and there are cheap ones. Now HomePod still dear, but for HomePod mini they ask for 7k₽ Good dumping and market stimulation.

For the price of one Yandex Stations you can take two HomePod mini and get high-quality sound on two floors of your house)

+ learn English.

Siri is a complete failure in terms of voice assistant on speakers, apparently Apple also understood this, hence the multi-step with price dumping.

Let's see what happens next :)


Now I say goodbye, and thank you for reading to the end.

I'll go take a time lapse of the sunset on an iPhone with three cameras.
