Apple Event Live Coverage: Apple Silicon Macs Announced! [Full Transcript of Event]

[Maconplasma]

I can't believe they are still pushing the touchbar whyyyy

Uh maybe, just maybe people outside of forums actually use it and like it. Ever thought of that? 🙄

 

[nbritton]

"Up to 16GB" of memory on the new Mac mini, you have got to be ****ing kidding me. I was extremely excited about getting this as a replacement for my Mac Pro 2012, but going from 128GB of memory to 16GB... umm !#%&

 

[retta283]

I’m a little surprised the first Macs with their own silicon didn’t get a redesign. Even if it was just different color to differentiate from existing Intel Macs.

It looks like the Mac Mini is in Silver instead of Space Gray this time. It was Silver before 2018 though.

 

[tlnargi]

WTH still the same exact screen for MBP 13?

 

[linkgx1]

Performance seems awesome...but why the heck isn't there a redesign?

 

[Aston441]

holy

they added real mics

a first ever for Apple

 

[DeepIn2U]

2!? 2 Tb4/USBC4 ports on the MBP?

Apple why are we going backwards?!

 

[cmaier]

Sigh. Still waiting for 16” MBP

 

[Saturnine]

Did she just say only two Thundebolt ports?!

 

[oopsroger]

I am confused, with the same chip, what will be the difference between the Macbook Pro and Air?

Ability to sustain peak performance

 

[Johnny907]

Again, why does the MBP need a fan if the Air doesn't?
Also: oh look there's the POS Touchbar, back again.
Finally: so I'm looking at that photo and holding this 2020 MBP up to the TV screen, and I swear that new model looks thicker than my current one.

 

[Kylo83]

I would rather have i9 and AMD graphics any day this isn't that great

 

[SweWriter]

the pro should have a better chip than the air, its now not really a pro

The pro probably uses the m1 fully, while the air doesn’t.

 

[paulvee]

did she say just two ports?

Imagine buying a Mac Mini along with that $5000 monitor

Beat me to it. The second I saw that image I longed for the days of Apple's Cinema Displays in 20", 23", 30" sizes. They sold well and the 30" was used by pro's with their PowerMac's/Mac Pro's and some still use them till this day.

With so many variations of products, I wish Apple would return to a dedicated display line. There is money there and most don't need a decked out $6000 display. I loved the 23" and 30" CCFL LCD's and even though the 27" OLED Cinema Displays had PSU issues, Apple could easily return to using the same iMac panel in a simple enclosure for a 27" display again and better PSU.

 

[Kobayagi]

Ffs, again this ''better camera quality'' bs. You know what gives a better image quality? A better camera! Put a iPhone camera in there and be done it. Especially in these times when a lot of people work from home and use the camera for video calls. Why are they so cheap on this?

 

[ssgbryan]

creatives pros' 16"

16 gb of ram?

Seriously?

 

[harriska2]

MBP up to 16gb memory?

 

[dannyyankou]

One More Thing coming up?

 

[TGM85]

wait a second.....so the PRO has a better battery life than the AIR ?

Larger battery

 

[northernerchris]

Again, why does the MBP need a fan if the Air doesn't?
Also: oh look there's the POS Touchbar, back again.
Finally: so I'm looking at that photo and holding this 2020 MBP up to the TV screen, and I swear that new model looks thicker than my current one.

I love the Touchbar!

 

[Johnny907]

Did she just say only two Thundebolt ports?!

That's how it was before. The base model ships with two, the mid to top spec models come with 4. Those tiers also came with faster processors though as well, so not sure how Apple is going to split out the pricing here.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

Unfortunately, prices didn't drop. EDIT: Except the mini? IDK

Thankfully, prices didn't rise.

 

[MistrSynistr]

If they call this One More Thing and don't do One More Thing this will be hilarious.

 

[tymeframe]

Would love to see a demo.
