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

[GadgetBen]

THAT'S IT???!!?

Did everyone else see that bad edit with Tim at the end? Like they had planned to release Tags but decided to pull them last minute.

 

[justperry]

I didn't even finish my beer yet, that was a shorty.

 

[Justin L Franks]

Yes, because it is for "developers".

I'm a developer. And I need a lot more RAM to run multiple VM's. Oh wait, I won't be able to do that either.

 

[Ries]

3.5x faster CPU, 6x faster GPU.

So, waiting to hear from all the forum members who have been adamantly claiming, "no ARM CPU can ever do real professional work."

6x times a intel 630 integrated GPU doing something we don't know.

 

[Johnny907]

No worries, I think the Super Exciting and Overwhelming Dell keynote filled with tons of innovations than Apple could ever think of and just blows Apple's keynote out of the water. It's just a web address away. Go for it. 🙄

Dell doesn't need a keynote. They just release products for people who aren't idiots and know what they are buying.
Sorry but this keynote was buzzwords and hype but no substance whatsoever.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Very pleased with the M1 chip. Now I just need a 13" macbook pro in the 16" body style.

 

[arkitect]

How can people be disappointed with that?

These new Macs are delivering industry-leading performance at unbelievable price points. PC OEMs have no chance of competing with this ever again.

I'm not disappointed. But on the other hand also not swinging from the chandeliers with Apple hype.

 

[zerofour]

I thought it was quite fun and exciting. Maybe I'm just a glass half full person!

 

[eulslix]

They actually really did it. They really suggested to pair a 700$ Mac Mini with a 6k$ XDR. This company just lost it. They’re just so full of ****, I’m done with it. RIP, really miss Steve Jobs ...

 

[iToph]

Okay, I'm bored in the house and I'm in the house bored
Bored in the house and I'm in the house bored

 

[MrMacintoshIII]

Aaaand... they didn't.

What a shame.

Uhh... yes they did? It was PC guy. If that wasn't one more thing enough for you I pity you 🙁

 

[STC1709]

this just gave me an excuse to save money, bring out the damn imac for crying out loud

 

[schwartzki]

So far I have really enjoyed the improvements in Big Sur.

 

[Apple_Robert]

720p on new Air camera.

 

[Ulfric]

Pretty underwhelming. I am waiting for a comparison against Ryzen 4800U.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

THAT'S IT???!!?

Did everyone else see that bad edit at the end? Like they had planned to release Tags but decided to pull them last minute.

Apple VaporTags coming next year...maybe 😛

 

[DeepIn2U]

Haha STILL no AirTags ROLMAO ~ it’s not a product. How many events has it been rumoured for now and still not a peep about it?!
Yes!!

 

[MistrSynistr]

Good: You can do anything on a MacBook Air now. For the same price. Battery life is amazing on these. Your RAM isn't really going to matter with these chips, I don't think some of you get it who are complaining about 16gb of RAM.

Bad: No re-designs. No iMac.

 

[greenmeanie]

I wonder how they will eliminate nvidia and amd graphics?
These look targeted at intel on board graphics which can't run games anyways.

 

[George Dawes]

iMac with new chip, def interested

Until then ios gear will keep me going thx

 

[LeeW]

Theres still a pandemic going on. The world doesn't revolve around you.

What are you even on about, go away.

 

[Minato1990]

No AirPods Studio... The only thing I wanted :-(

Same sigh

 

[djxpress]

Love how they skirted by without mentioning the webcam resolution, lol!!!

 

[Metrosey]

So it’s a 4+4 core design (BIGsmall), can those 8 total cores work together?

 

[volfreak]

Yup, my birthday is the 13th. In store pick up at 8. Last year they let me be the first customer in the door.

Early happy birthday!
