Repeat what works.
I would've loved to see more comparison to non-Apple devices.
I like it. To the point. That mother earth thing was the most cringe thing ever, and I don't even use the word "cringe" but I was physically cringing even watching a few seconds if it, I had to shut it off and didn't turn it back on.
This was pleasant.
Check the order details for the new iMacs. Perhaps that is where such things be found.
Freaking Apple how can you only equip base MacBook Pro with only 8GB of memory? WTF?
I remember when people complained their presentations were too long. Now they complain they’re too short.

I actually liked how short and to the point this presentation was. Thank you for not inflicting 20 minutes of padding on me. New MBPs and iMacs have badass M3 chips now. Got it. Thank you.
Aaaand it still starts at 8GB ram. I was hoping for the rumored 12GB.
Also the journal app, but it requires 17.2

If they were only going to do a half hour, then talk about some of the Apple stuff that needs some love. Talk about Apple TV+. Talk about Airpods. Talk about even Apple Music. This event didn't need to be an event.
8GB on a $1600 laptop is indefensible. What on earth are they thinking.
Influencers got AirPods Max for this presentation, Wtffff lololol
13” MBP is dead and replaced with 14” M3. That’s interesting news.
I’m never getting hype for any more Apple events, the hype is always better than the events, the last few events have been terrible
They are now a production company, so leveraging that to its fullest, rather than just a press release.
Like the iMac. The M3 is only being assembled, apparently, in two memory configs.
Lot of drama for a spec bump. On the plus side, I’m not feeling the urge to damage my credit rating.
Love your comments and others who jabbed at this whole event. LOL.
Yeah, the whole thing could have been typed up on a memo and emailed. BTW, I didn't watch anything at all. I'm just waiting for someone to summarize what was introduced. Sounds like a bunch of upgraded MBP and iMac. Fine.
Apple sure knows how to hype up an event.
Well, that was quick …I mean fast.
A bit underwhelming. Maybe they thought they’d have an event to coincide with Halloween theme. Makes sense it wasn’t an event during the day. Could have been a quick surprise update on the website.
I have a new MBP for work on order (currently having apps installed). I’m not that upset I didn’t wait another month.
