The concept is good, the content is ok, the associated built in apps cortana uses are ok. The speech recognition is cack as its very limited in what it understands. Most requests just fire up a web search.

I don't think I've ever had anything but an English Female.

As for only posting about Apple, this is the computer related section and the only computers I have are made by Apple running Apple software, it doesn't take a genius.

This is the thread. The conference will be not only about the iPhone but also hopefully gaming and other things too.

We will see how good the new iphone will be as I'm due an upgrade in April so plenty time for the prices to settle down.

I'm so tempted to get back onto the S cycle, the 6+ was such a step change from the 5s I couldn't resist. Force touch is almost certain and I can see the benefits from using the watch, it's a good way of right clicking. The camera will of course be improved, rumours say it's quite a leap, I'm still astonished by the one I have. More Ram is very likely, my iPad loves the extra breathing space.

Siri on Mac is something I'll find handy, reminders, alarms and notes, music...

But the battery capacity will be reduced though? Isn't that the one thing most iphone users complain about, not being able to get a full day's use out of one?

Not me for years. I can kill a battery if I really try but general usage has easily covered a day for years. Now with the Watch it lasts even longer.

If the battery capacity has been reduced then it will be for good reason.

Well yes its all relative and depends on what you are doing and how much screen time you use. I guess most teenagers struggle as they play games n use Facebook mostly which are battery killers.

3d touch and gaming were as good as I was hoping. Looking forward to trying it.

Apple TV is a purchase.

Try using a phone that doesn't have app compared to one that does. And I just tried saying "Hey Siri" in my lounge and nothing happened.
