oykun · x · 2026-09-10
Designer Oykun live-reacts to the Apple Event: the $1300 iPhone 18 Pro's new color is "ugly" and he won't buy; Siri AI "tells me what I already see." He likes Manual Pro Controls and smart focus in the Photos app, calls the Apple Watch health push a Fitbit-killer, hates Live Rewind's always-recording design, and finds real-time translation cool — overall verdict: not buying.
