Apple Invites Media to 'Hello Again' October 27th Mac-Centric Event

[JeffyTheQuik]

Nice! The Cars are re-uniting!!!!

 

[Juicy Box]

Yes..yes..i' seen that after i posted, still, why HELLO? Are they planning to go retro?

That would be awesome.
I would love a retro iMac G4 with modern hardware.

Just a thought, last time Apple used the same theme was when Apple totally changed their line up and came out with the first iMac.

I really hope that Apple doesn't decide to shake things up again, and drop the desktop line to go with an all mobile line.

That would make me very sad.

No, they're planning to kill any ambiguity about what this event could be! They're building hype.

"hello", with Apple, can mean nothing else. We're getting new Macs. Now we're just going to cream ourselves crosseyed for a week in anticipation of what's going to happen.

Expected quote from Tim: "It's amazing!" I'ma have to give him a credit if he says, "Courage" during the keynote...lol.

Too good to be true. I bet that they will announce the end of the Mac. An iPad Pro is enough, isn't it?

Actually now that you say that, the Apple does appear to be going up in flames doesn't it?

Retro look with updated tech

 

[keysofanxiety]

No, I bought 2. Same price as one MBP, except with current hardware. Could not be happier with them.

I know you won't take me at face value here, but this comment has made my day. Mainly because so many people here seem to be like robots with the "I bought a DELL XPS" comment. They always seem to add the "couldn't be happier" at the end as well.

I can't be the only one who's noticed this.

It takes courage to say courage.

My reaction:

 

[pat500000]

It takes courage to say courage.

Heh heh...i wonder if that's his new motto.

 

[carrrrrlos]

Hello again, is perfect.

 

[adrianm2000]

'Hello Again' seems more like hint towards a Siri-oriented event. As long as they announce new MacBook Pros, I don't care. My maxed 2015 rMBP groans as it is.

 

[Polaroid]

New Mac Book Pro's and new Siri device..? lol

 

[Traverse]

Please announce new iPods...


One can hope.

32GB Nano...

 

[Mac 128]

You're kidding, right? Maybe you should read this thread. I give you two hints:

Given this tagline, I'm really really excited, now

Call me a pessimist, but after the iPhone 7 launch, and Apple Watch Series 2, I can't possibly imagine what Apple could introduce that equals the impact of either the original Macintosh, or the iMac, especially based on the rumors we've seen.

Using this tagline sets the stage for something truly revolutionary. Then again, maybe that's why the iPhone and Watch were so disappointing -- all their resources were going into the new Macs. But it's still hard to imagine that nothing has been leaked or rumored to fulfill the meaning of such a significant statement.

' My maxed 2015 rMBP groans as it is.

Can you elaborate?

 

[keysofanxiety]

Have you considered a DELL XPS?

 

[forerunnerg34]

I have this feeling that Apple won't deliver again. I´m not crazy in believe that the keynote will be: Watch, bands, music and updates in specs for laptops. You don´t need 4 years to do that right?. For me this will be the prove if they care about the Mac anymore.

 

[thekev]

My God! Alleluia! Now, I believe it.
Mac Pro's
Mac Mini
MBP
and 5K displays.....
Come on Apple!

I'm hoping, but not holding my breath for a 27" 5k display at $750 or less.

You guys are in for a world of disappointment. First a price drop is incredibly unlikely in the current year. A 5k display would also be the first time Apple has ever discontinued something without a named replacement, then brought it back. Every time they sunset something in that manner, it's gone forever. Anyone who wants a standalone display has to purchase something that isn't Apple branded, which is a sure sign that they exited that business.

There's no chance updated iMacs are being launched at this event - look at next year. They've already got Skylake. They literally only just updated the boxes to have the Sierra wallpaper on this week too.

New GPU, RAM, and storage options.

 

[Stella]

I wonder if they'll announce new iPads? I can't imagine apple talking for 1 hour just on new laptops.

Apple consider iPads to be PC replacements.

Why do you say that?

 

[Traverse]

About time, at least I hope to be able to decide between a Macbook Pro or an iMac for my Xmas gift.

Get a MacBook Pro for yourself, and get me the iMac for Christmas!

 

[Peace]

"hello again"?? That's a pretty bold tagline to use, harking back to the iMac introduction in 1998 and the Mac in 1984... surely they don't have anything _that_big up their sleeve for the Mac, do they? Although, come to think of it, the iMac brand is now older than the Mac brand was when the iMac was announced, so a thorough revamp would make some sense. Strange, it doesn't feel that old at all to me.

It is a reference to the 1984 Mac.

In-house CPUs which smoke any quad-core Intel on the market today. They've been building towards this for a long time. The culmination of Jobs' vision.

All that performance and no third party software to run on it.

What do you people want?!

Their phone chips have DOUBLE the per-core performance of the closest competitor! What does it take for you to class a device as 'innovative' or 'impressive'?!
