Finally watched the keynote. Some nice additions.

I'll keep saying it...STOP letting Eddy Cue talk...he sucks at it. He never looks past the first row, which makes it looks like he keeps his eyes closed. He always messes up, and he has the charisma of pile of dung. He looks like he is special needs. The other guys weren't great either.

Craig Federighi is really great though. Great public speaker, good energy, charismatic.

The other guys...horrible.

 

^ You know this was the best presenter there.

 

yeah it was worse in person

 

Good to see that Apple is allowing transgenders to do presentations.

 

I bet you were there in full kool aid drinking mode!

 

It would have to be some strong kool aid for me to start rapping in front of others.

 

A few of us spoke afterwards trying to figure out what she actually does for Apple other than being a token.

 

 

But they haven't even completely fixed iOS 11. I thought they were going to slow things down?

 

 

Any chance they announce an SE2. My buddy needs to upgrade.

 

I would think iOS 12 would bring the battery mgmt software

 

 

 

Surprised nobody bumped this.

I honestly did not know any details about what was coming out. It's funny, everything is kept airtight. One of my coworkers that I see almost every day was working on the Apple Card, and I had no freaking clue.

The celebrity cameos were unexpected.

 

WWDC isn't until June though.

 

My bad, I searched for "keynote" and this was the most relevant thread. I admittedly didn't read too many posts

 

noob

 

Everything they announced today was

except for "Amazing Stories" reboot

 

i forgot about the WWDC thread. I’ll ask someone to move my 2019 WWDC post here.

 

I'm very curious about the Apple Card. It's made out of titanium, I like gimmicky shit like that. Besides the points bonuses, one reason why I got the Chase Sapphire Reserve. Which brings me to my next point, Apple Card won't have points... hmm. But they claim industry-leading low interest rates and no fees. I pay off your cards to 0 or close to it, so

Could help your debt utilization? You get bonus points for buying Apple products with it too, of course.

 

Its 3 percent cash back for Apple stuff. 2 for everything else.

cash gets credited back to your account right away.

i may get one. 2% for everything beats the 1.5% cash back I get with capital one

 

Hmmmm .. but how about insurance? Is there any "visa signature'-type stuff or should this just be the card for non-warranty big ticket items...

 

2% only if you pay with card via Apple Pay. If you pay with physical card via chip/swipe, it's only 1%

So if most places you shop don't take Apple Pay and/or you have cards with higher % back, it might not be worth it.

I get 2% back on everything with Fidelity Rewards Visa Signature (no limit). Combined with 5% back at various retailers/categories each quarter with other cards, and there likely not going to be a sign up bonus, not worth it for me.


And maybe move conversation over to https://acurazine.com/forums/money-i...thread-975392/ ?

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Post moved.

 

 

If an Apple Card is easier to get like a Cap1 then they'll net a lot of business. True there are cards that pay much better but the FICO restrictions might be tighter. It's nice to have competition, maybe Cap1 will finally bump up the 1.5%

 

Media invites sent out today for WWDC.

 

More emojis :yay:

 

I got invited






















...to watch it inside of a conference room. Yay.

 

 

 

iOS for iPad rumored to change to iPadOS

maybe I can finally use my iPad more.

Just hoping for a proper filesystem and option for mouse support.

and supporting ProRes would be nice.

 

Yay calculator for watchOS, now I can bring back that nostalgic feel of a Casio calculator watch.

 

Lol 30% faster faceid unlock.

i wonder what they sacrificed to get that improvement.

And @ dark mode.

 

I'm liking the new privacy stuff in iOS.

 

Memoji

 

Widgets on the iPad home screen. Finally!!!

 

Omgggg USB drive and SD card support... as in we can just open it and view the contents??
