Apple’s recent September 9 event was mostly business as usual for the tech giant, introducing two new iPhones (the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus), two new iPads (the iPad Pro and the iPad Mini 4), and a bunch of new updates and features.
Yikes. Mobile users are who are planning to purchase Apple’s newest iPhone models -- the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus -- will have to pay $129 in order to avail of AppleCare+ support for their new devices. The $129 price has increased by $30 compared to the $99 that was usually charged for previous iPhone versions, including the iPhone 6.
After all the rumors and pre-event expectations, Apple’s September 9 event has finally happened, and as any harcore Apple fan can attest, there is plenty of new cool stuff to rave about, a few not completely unexpected and a number of welcome surprises.
Here’s what we know for sure ( so far) -- Apple will be holding an event on September 9th Wednesday at the Civic Auditorium (which has a 7,000 seat capacity) located in the city of San Francisco, California. The invitations that were sent out featured a statement that teases: “Hey Siri, give us a hint.” Oh, and the whole event will be streamed live.
It happens eventually to any product. After a few years surge of phenomenal popularity, the hype eventually dies down, while consumers start to explore other alternatives to that product, or something new, better, or just different. The same applies to smartphones, even Apple's iPhone, perhaps the most culturally significant and influential (technologically speaking) smartphone of all time.
For almost a decade now, Apple has been warning mobile users not to mess with the security settings of their iPhone devices, such as letting their smartphones work in foreign countries or install mobile apps that were not approved by Apple. This practice is known as jailbreaking, with many a mobile user having done it (or somebody else) at least once with the belief that it is harmless. Apple, of course, believes that jailbreaking makes the user’s iPhone vulnerable to hackers.
Apart from unveiling its latest iPhone models, Apple will also be introducing its newest iPad offerings during its upcoming annual event happening on September 9th of this year. This means that roughly a week from now, we can expect to finally see the company’s iPad Pro (and possibly the new iPad Mini 4, as well) be officially introduced to the world.
Verizon Wireless is introducing a new policy that should entice more customers from other rival wireless carriers to shift to Verizon by virtue of being allowed to bring their own handsets to the Big Red.
Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone model in September of this year, and since 2015 is an S year (a year in which the company releases an iPhone S model), we will likely see a new smartphone that basically retains the same design as last year’s iPhone 6, but with new enhancements in interior components and even software features.
