It’s almost that time! With the Apple event happening tomorrow, we’ll use this mega thread to talk about expectations, predictions, and anything else related to the big event.

Tomorrow, we’ll have a live event thread to discuss each announcement as it happens.

An interesting effect of unifying Mac and iPhone tech is that games ported to Mac need little work to be ported to iPhone.

Getting actual AAA games on iPhone is kinda cool but still seems very impractical. Mostly because if you can afford an iPhone 15 pro you can afford a game console, Mac/PC, etc.

Controls are definitely the limiting factor at this point. I've tried a few console and PC game ports via Apple Arcade recently, and they all run great but the touch controls are really clunky - especially when they try to emulate analogue sticks.

It's about time Apple took a stab at a games controller, leaving it to 3rd parties hasn't created enough momentum. An Apple take on a gaming pad would be interesting, especially with some sort of MagSafe iPhone mount. A controller also seems a natural expansion for the Vision Pro.
