Apple Event Plans: New Products Coming in 2025

So 2011 was the last time they launched a successful service?
Or are you counting all the iterations it took them to get it to be reliable, fast and responsive?
Sidenote..
It is pretty funny how Steve used to say Dropbox was a "just feature, not a product" and didn't buy them.
And then Apple ended up going all in on iCloud and F-ed around for years and years to get it right and working even just "on par" with Dropbox.
Some would argue that even to this day Dropbox is still better.
All I want is a Mac Pro, iMac, or iMac Pro update. Maybe even a TB3 Monitor that doesn't suck (*cough*LG*cough*) to go with the Mini.
Honestly, based on past events, this is EXACTLY what it will be. It’s kinda sad. Bland TV and weak upgrades.
We’ll have to wait for WWDC and September for the juicy announcements.
Hmmm. Does Dropbox offer continuous and seamless backups of my iPhone? Does it offer all the Continuity features I get from Apple where I can move from device to device and continue what I was doing?
As to Apple services, what about Apple Music? I’d call that a highly successful service given how many users it has.
Very difficult to compare the two at this point, I agree.
For the core function of Dropbox I’d say people who prefer it have a point though.

Hard to say, at least to me
They have the natively integrated and default application advantages.
I’d imagine they are counting on those advantages to also translate to a news subscription.
We shall see on that ont.
I personally use local music and Pandora for streaming though.
It’s not hard to say at all. Dropbox offers neither of those features (along with several others) so in that regard it’s useless compared to iCloud.
Whatever you use for music is irrelevant. Apple Music is a very successful service, which is what you asked for (any successful service Apple has launched).
It’s not useless to compare folder and file syncing, where they both compete and Dropbox is arguably better, faster and more reliable, informative and consistent - at least according to those who care about those features above all else.
I agree that iCloud attempts to do more.
The value of that is subjective and not necessarily of interest to all.

I was sharing what I use to indicate that I’m not a great person to comment on personal experience with Apple Music.
I was simply adding a data point and some clarity on my perspective.
I opted for the CustoMacPro option.

If you do a 'vanilla install', it will be amazingly easy.
Best instruction guide out there-> https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/
If you do the TonyMacX86 way, you'll be pulling your hair out. Vanilla is the cleanest, hassle free method of installation.
Just to mention it..
Not all the User Builds at Tonymacx86 actually use Unibeast/Multibeast (their tools).
The one I linked is one that didn't use Tonymac's Multibeast (which is where problems tend to occur).
Unibeast is a pretty handy and usually flawless USB install creator in my experience.
It's a great site mainly because so many people congregate there so lots of helpful forum posts and users are available to assist those trying to navigate any challenges.
iPad mini 5 with A11x Bionic chip or, better yet, A12x. Let’s go!
32GB isn't enough ram to comp 5K DPX frames in After Effects. (neither is 64GB really) My 2018 MBP is not PRO enough and the iMac is a stop gap. Where the HELL is the new MacPro?!?!
Same. I remember being so excited with each event announcement, can’t wait to watch.
Now you don’t expect to see anything interesting.
If it isn’t announced by the end of wwdc then I think that’ll be a serious indicator of where Apple stands on pro users. It was meant to be released last year but that never happened. At this point, if they are having issues with the design of the Mac Pro then they are massively over complicating something really simple.
Let’s face it, the older Mac Pro (not the cylinder one) was a masterpiece of design and surely would be a great starting point for a new design? All pro users want is the ability to upgrade and replace components over time (I’m not a pro so it doesn’t affect me, but it concerns me that pro users are being left in limbo)
There is still plenty of 2019 left.
WWDC 19 - Mac Pro previewed
Dec 19 - Available to order
March 20 - first lower end models ship
May 20 - All models ship
?????? - first update
Problem is that's the exact opposite of what Apple wants. The new Mac Pro will be "modular" in the sense you buy priority "modules" from Apple. How does allowing a user to buy a graphics card off Amazon increase the average selling selling price (ASP) of that user? It doesn't therefore Apple will not allow it.
News and video streaming services that nobody cares about because they're just going to clone existing serrvices without adding anything new - brand and advertising cannot do everything, just look at Apple Music.
New Macs would be welcomed, but given Apple's distinct lack of interest in computers and the pro market as of late (and last year's insanely disappointing updates, and the total no-show of that promised Mac Pro we've heard mentions in the last 3 years), I wouldn't hold my breath.

I agree with you but it’s not necessarily the case. The situation with the older Mac Pro’s was that you generally ended up buying the upgrades from Apple. If they really want to lock you in then I’m sure they could use proprietary connections for each of the components forcing you to only buy from Apple. The problem with that is we end up back in the same position that the Mac Pro was in years ago... long waits for newer gfx cards etc
No...it will require a new OS to use it, which will require a new computer to install it
I quite like Apple Music but I have zero interest in the news or Netflix style tv service. I have Netflix and I’m happy with it.
I would love to see new macs that feel like proper workhorse computers but somehow I don’t know if that will happen.
Whatever you think about the NYT and WaPo in particular (I would strongly disagree with your assessment of the former, at least), subscription based news services are a good thing for journalism.
If anyone has any doubt that the 'free' ad based model of news is pure cancer for democracies everywhere, just look at the clickbaity **** more and more news outlets put out.
Huffington Posts daily "Ten reasons why white people suck" or "men are garbage and here's why" clickbait article is guaranteed to be more lucrative than any detailed exposé of Trump's shady business dealings. Outrage sells ads, even if the content is lazy, vapid and repetitive.
Just like mine. How much do you get out of it? My pair lasts for around 90 min these days.
