Hey everyone, and welcome back to Tech Talk Tuesdays!
Jamie, I hope you're ready, because Apple just dropped a bombshell.
Oh, I'm always ready for a bombshell, Alex!
Especially when it comes with a bite out of it.
We're talking about the new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, right?
You know it!
And seriously, the design alone?
Aerospace-grade titanium.
Thinnest Pro iPhones Apple has ever made.
My wallet is already screaming.
Thinnest ever, huh?
So, now I can *really* lose it between the couch cushions and never find it again.
But hey, titanium sounds fancy!
Like it could survive a small meteor shower.
Exactly!
And these new finishes – Space Black, White, Blue, Natural Titanium.
I'm imagining holding a piece of a spaceship.
With a Ceramic Shield front, too.
My butterfingers approve.
And the Super Retina XDR display?
Brighter than my future, apparently.
Plus, the Dynamic Island is still there, just vibing, making my notifications feel like a Broadway show.
Oh, the camera!
64 megapixels, Jamie!
My cat pictures are about to go viral.
Sixty-four?!
I can barely manage to keep my phone still for a selfie.
Now I'll be able to zoom in on my neighbor's dog from three blocks away.
The Pro Max gets 5x optical zoom.
I might actually become a wildlife photographer!
[sarcastic tone] And Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro?
I'm not sure if I'm ready for my vacation videos to be *that* immersive.
What if I accidentally filmed myself tripping?
[laughs] But let's talk power.
The A19 Bionic chip.
They're calling it the fastest chip ever in a smartphone.
I feel like my current phone is powered by a hamster on a wheel by comparison.
Mine too!
This thing probably renders a Hollywood movie faster than I can decide what to watch.
And all-day battery life, with the Pro Max having the *longest ever*?
This means less frantic searching for a charger when I'm out.
Finally, a phone that can keep up with my TikTok scrolling habits for more than three hours straight.
It's a miracle!
And the Action Button is back!
I'm thinking instant flashlight for when I inevitably drop my keys in the dark.
Or launching my most embarrassing app.
Or an emergency pizza ordering button!
Wi-Fi 7, Roadside Assistance via satellite – so if I get lost in the middle of nowhere, at least my phone can call for help.
Assuming I have cell signal to begin with.
[chuckles] Don't forget Crash Detection, Jamie.
Apple truly wants us safe.
But let's talk about the elephant in the room: the price.
Starting at $999.
Right.
So, less of a bombshell and more of a "you might need to sell a kidney" bomb.
But honestly, for all that tech, that titanium, that camera...
I'm already calculating how many coffees I need to skip.
Pre-orders start September 13th, with general availability September 20th, so get those bank accounts ready!
Or start that coffee-skipping fund.
It sounds like a serious upgrade, though.
A lot of cool stuff packed into a very thin, very shiny package.
Absolutely.
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are making a statement.
A very expensive, very powerful statement.
Indeed!
Well, that's all for us this week on Tech Talk Tuesdays!
Let us know in the comments if you're upgrading or if your current phone is still doing just fine.
And we'll see you next time!
