Jonathan Ive's voice almost seems like a cartoon parody at his point.

DSLR's can 100% do depth of field previews in their screens. Why lie, Phil?

Great presentation beyond that, iPhones and similar phones with high end cameras and software are quickly replacing the point-and-shoot camera product, but don't lie, lier.

Not an iPhone user, but if you can listen to music and charge the phone at the same time I wouldn't even care. I don't even use conventional headphones for anything anymore... I use wireless gaming headphones for my PC that charge via micro USB and Bose wireless for anything else.

Those ear things look ridiculous. Maybe even worse than bluetooth earpiece phone thingies that we all ridiculed years ago.

Wireless is the new future true.

...yet the iPhone still doesn't have wireless charging. Oh well that'll be in the 7s I guess!

Atleast they included the lightning to 3.5mm adapter.

Well the waterproofing is good. I know more than a few folks who have lost a phone do to a quick dip in the toilet.

The new AirPods are pretty damn fugly however, as is the need for an adapter for the lightning jack.

But that is Apple's design language these days. "Look how thin it is!... now here's an external adapter the size of of a deck of cards to actually plug stuff in."

Anyways I'm sticking with my 5S for a while yet.

Looks like it's back to the good old days of Apple stuff being cheaper in the US.

Thanks Trudeau.

That jet black color has ScratchGate written all over it.

Also, series 2 watch is everything series 1 should have been, which isn't a compliment - In two years they literally haven't made a single improvement to external design?

Have I not been following iPhone prices well enough, or is this ridiculous?

I feel like the flagship 6+ was the first iPhone to go over for over a grand unlocked in Canada. This is the first time the entire flagship line has been over a grand.

Those prices look identical to what the 6s prices were in Canada.

So the phone comes with a headphone adapter, guess its not the end of the world.

Pricing looks similar to what I paid for an unlocked 6S.

Still curious how you will charge and listen to the phone at the same time.

To listen to music, you now have 4 small easy to lose and unconnected items

1 x earbud
1 x earbud
1 x earbud charging case
1 x lighting 3.5mm adapter
