Apple Issues Invitations for October 23 Media Event

[BrockC]

Ironically, I just presented a presentation about the Ipad and I said the mini is coming soon, and here it is.

Weird I just gave a presentation about apple for my speech class. It is indeed going to be an expensive holiday season for many apple lovers.

give it up, it's not happening guys

Tim Cook will go out on stage and announce that the Lightning adapters and iPhone 5 cases are now available in the Apple store.

 

[hobo.hopkins]

I might end up with a new MacBook and iPad after next week; I couldn't be more excited!

 

[akbarali.ch]

iMac, fingers crossed.

 

[sweetbrat]

Now the questions is:

why should we own both an iPad mini and an iPad?

Most people probably shouldn't. The target group for the mini is going to be people who wanted a lower price point or a smaller device, not people that already own a regular iPad.

 

[Yr Blues]

the fact that there are mobile options destroys the competition already

but it's going to be the first iOS device since retina was unveiled that doesn't have retina (people already called me out on this one, which was the iPad 2)

if it has a screen that's viewable in direct sunlight, then that makes it a buy for me

I hope they revise the 9.7" iPad, too

Next year

Even hopes for the Mac Pro are dead.

We have already been told, by Apple, Mac Pros are coming next year.

 

[tonytiger13]

They got a "little" more to show us or a "mini" to show us...

 

[D.T.]

Clearly this means they're releasing a Mac Pro Mini.

 

[KPOM]

Starting to look more and more like this is the "mass refresh" event WWDC was rumored to be indeed, what with the part number leaks.

USB 3/Ivy Bridge accross the board (Except of course with the Mac Pro) ?

Just in time for the holidays. It makes sense. The updated Air satisfied most of the back to school demand. The 13" Retina MacBook Pro may appeal more to holiday buyers.

Now the choice between 13" Air and 13" Pro will actually be difficult (today it's a no-brainer for me for the Air). As an 11.6" Air owner I probably won't bite this Apple, but it will be a nice option.

"Not happening" /s

Stoked, lots of much needed updates and hopefully some new Apple toys!

Summer 2010: iPhone 4 with Retina unveiled
February 2011: iPad 2 unveiled. No Retina.

 

[Greg.]

None of these hardware changes make any difference to me. iOS and Mac OS X have reached their peaks, forward innovation momentum has stalled. Just look at AAPL over the past month.

"Guys don't get your hopes up"

 

[barredfreak]

Just after I purchased the new iPad.

Brilliant.

 

[Lukkee24]

About time! Can't wait now .

 

[tdream]

Woop Woop Woop!

 

[the read]

What an ugly designed invitation.

Yuk

 

[jmpnop]

My wallet is ready

 

[KandyKane]

I'm surprised no one has disected the rest of the invite yet.
Do the colours mean anything?

 

[bushido]

so can the fanboys tell me the result of their analysis of those color pattern on the invitation? like WHAT DOES IT MEAAAN?

 

[Yr Blues]

Summer 2010: iPhone 4 with Retina unveiled
February 2011: iPad 2 unveiled. No Retina.

my bad, totally missed that

but it still sucks that it might not be retina

 

[DarkWinter]

iPad

I would be very surprised if Apple introduced a new full sized iPad, with the exception of maybe new LTE versions. Unless they're moving away from their annual update cycle or do them bi-annually.

Else my 'new' iPad will become the not-so-new iPad after 7 months!

 

[dumb]

...a sneak peak at 10.9 ( hopefully better support for extended screen)

 

[guillemn]

Is this real life?

Hope yes, because I am getting very happy for this christmas....
