I’m super excited because I want a new iPad, but I have to agree, this sounds about right. Hate those stupid AR demos. Look like a bunch of idiots up there. If I saw people doing that in real life I’d probably think they were disturbed and call the cops.
That will never ever even in your most demented dreams happen. But hey, it doesn’t hurt to dream.
Holy crap that made me sad...
I doubt it will feature the SuperDrive, though.I think the sliced Apple indicates what I have thought all along. I'm predicting that the Mac mini will share a case design with a new Mac Pro with the Mini getting mobile processors and the Mac Pro configured with Xeon/ECC. Either will be usable with any of several options for eGPU and storage and I/O via TB3. I think the term "MacStack" will replace "Trash Can" as the unofficial name.
I am thinking maybe something that resembles the old OWC MiniStack but one a much higher level, with much better integration, cooling, etc. Of course that look will be new, but the concept is there.
Except for Macs, which are actual computers that are more powerful and capable in every way.
If they announce a new Mac Mini, a new Macbook Air and a new iMac, I would believe in "Secrecy" again. We have not have any kind of leaks besides the new iPad.
There is a BIG difference between "Price" and "Value"; and if you don't understand the difference, then you don't understand Apple.
You mean the original Mac Mini??I think the sliced Apple indicates what I have thought all along.

Love it, kind of hope so, I'd be into swapping back to a desktop, but I don't want an AIO - my MBP stays "docked" like 98% of the time, and I have other machines/devices if I really need something portable. I'd love to see an Apple designed stack that offered an eGPU as an option, then they can keep the costs down on the main "slice", and/or offer a mid-range GPU option, and have a whole chassis to handle cooling for just the GPU.
Fingers crossed - if there's really a new Mini - for a 32GB option too
Yeah. Today's Apple wouldn't create something shockingly innovative like that, I sadly agree!
Totally agree. It's just calling making things 1mm thinner a redesign. It may be slightly redesigned, but not nearly enough, IMO, to market it as a redesign.
Based on previous let downs, I'm going to say you have a more than fair chance of being correct.
Gotcha!
My point wasn't a Surface Studio clone, but rather, exactly what I re-stated. I just maybe wasn't clear.
There are going to be a few disappointed people if this is just iPad and pencil based.
At the cost of alienating a lot of their dedicated customers who likes certain things certain way.Maybe, but the "...but who makes the most profitable ________" crowd should be thrilled.
Well they are both actual computers, but I think the iPad is Jobs’ ultimate vision of the personal computer. I remember watching videos of him discussing the future of computing, which were thin clients with cloud access. It’s pretty exciting to see how far we’ve come. Macs are great too, but they are relics when looking towards the future.
Maybe because New York's Nickname is the Big Apple and Apple has some big announcements to make?
I'm already camped out for the iNothing. But I think your guess at $1200 is way too low. I want to pay iEverything for iNothing because Apple really needs the money.
Here, take my kidneys please! And pass me that Barclay Card Super Platinum application
Come on now. We can't take both your kidneys, you would die and we would have nothing to harvest later. You can shear a sheep many times but only skin it once. Tim is the GOAT at figuring how much blood he can get out of the user base. It's down right painful at times to watch the herd swear they are moving to Windows and Android.
After the smoke clears they accept the minimum price and the justification process of how they can get the highest spec mac pro starts. The hard questions of if they should finance their purchase or use their entire emergency funds begin to creep into the forums. The amounts got broke into how many dollars a day it averages out to be and comparisons involving Starbucks come up.
Then shipping dates drop and they get angst that the machine they were never going to buy and didn't need in the first place will be delayed. Then they begin to consider cancelling l the highest spec model or the most popular color so they can get it a day or two earlier. Some have even been known to emigrate to New Zealand to be amongst the first to get it.
Although I jest the main new product I would like to see out of this is higher profits.
Interesting and at a reasonable price has not been a hallmark of Apple in the Cook era.
