    suggest to their customers that it’s new and innovative

    I’m a big Apple critic too but to be fair that message reads pretty neutral. Where do you see the claim it’s new and innovative?

      I suppose the fact that they feel the need to announce it rather than to just do it.

      Anyway this is fairly standard operations for Apple. They did the same when they added widgets to iOS. Gee wow, guys thanks for adding a feature that has been in Android for about 20 years.

        I mean their events are literally held to give news about updates. Revolutionary or not.

        Why would they not mention stuff people could make use of, just because it’s not some amazing new things.

        Events are rather decent to be honest, no that I look at them. But people do, so it’s very easy to get an overview over upcoming features.

          If their events are held to give us news and updates why didn’t they tell us that the new AirPods pro2 have a new chip for extremely low latency use with their VR headset?

          Because it’s not to give us news and updates, it’s to sell you on the latest flashy slab.

            I mean it’s obviously not news, news. It’s marketing. Most people just don’t care about latency on a product, especially when it’s for use with another - not even released product. What do you expect?
