Apple Likely to Introduce iPad Pro and iPad Mini 4 at September 9 Event

Rumors make it sound like 4k is highly unlikely. Though I hope it's at the very least 1080p
By that logic, should there also be only one iPhone? Only one Macbook or iMac ?
The current ATV is already 1080p. It just doesn't support 24 fps output. Right now, I'd be happy with that.
He was also talking about the iPhone in 2007, something meant to be with-you-at-all-times convenient. And honestly, Jobs has said a lot of things. Remember how he said nobody wants to watch video on a tiny iPod screen? Yeah...
The standard for the new Apple TV should be 4K, 1080p, and 720p seeing as the technology is maturing. 4K TV's are coming down in price and there's more content supporting that resolution becoming available. Since Apple rarely updates the Apple TV with any major updates, it would only make sense to have the capabilities to support 4K video.
The iPhone and Apple watch are very complimentary products. One needs the other. The Apple Watch also wasn't available for months after the announcement.
Sure, just count me as someone who hasn't jumped onto 4K, despite being an early adopter of tech. Every time I look at the sets available, something causes me to wait until the next year to see if it improves. For OLED, it is the input lag, and for LCD, it is giving me something that doesn't make the black levels worse than my current XBR full array set, and still fits my cabinet. Too many sets went edge lit, and the full array sets are not terribly compelling for other reasons (Sony, why did you stick those speakers onto your best set? I have better, thanks).
now why the hell would they announce all of that stuff in this one event? people just believe everything lmao. Yeah Apple is going to show off an iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, New Apple TV, iPad Pro, iPad Mini 4 and lord knows what else all in one day.
no chance.
no chance.
The fact that an iPad Pro doesn't come with 4 GB of RAM and a more powerful A9 processor is a little alarming.
Absolutely, I didn't say it was the same as last year's (that would be... odd) but yawn worthy. Not to derail this thread but my S6 Edge+ has 4GB RAM, 16MP camera with 4K recording, and an industry leading screen. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic... if the iPhone 7 were slated to release this year, it'd be a different story. You forgot to mention the smaller battery, 16GB base, and *gasp* thicker enclosure. I think the recent iPhones resort to an entirely too conservative design evolution. Doesn't seem to affect their sales though, which I really don't care about and doesn't serve as a basis for argument for me as a consumer looking to purchase a smartphone... cutting edge design does.
I think the iPad Pro, if it's actually called that, will use USB C and not Lightning. You know that port will make it through all of Apple's lineup eventually. I see it happening there next. But that's just my $0.02
Car
Well, compared to the latest from Samsung, yes, it's yawn worthy. However, compared to the iPhone 6, the 6s will definitely be a huge upgrade, especially if it gets a mLED display which will probably prompt a lot of people to ask why their friend's 6s has a much better screen than their 6 despite "looking the same." Of course, I'm wondering if I'm being a little too optimistic about the 6s getting mLED, but I don't see how Force Touch could work with the current IPS LCD. The rumor of the 6s getting the same animated wallpaper that the Apple Watch has, which Jony says only looks magical on a screen such as OLED seems to point in that direction.

Am I the only one who has now realised this is some weird trolling account.. No one is real life exists like this surely..or definitely talks like this.. Like a frikkin commercial.. Embarrassing..
Do you think Apple will shift their yearly fall agenda to just being one September event from now on? (Not being sarcastic, genuinely interested in your take)
Talking positively about Apple products on an Apple forum is trolling? Maybe, just maybe, I'm here because I love Apple and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with other people who also enjoy the things Apple builds and creates.
Why do you say that? The spec says 1080p up to 30fps. Do you have a reference? Thanks
Don't forget people that Steve Jobs said these things years ago, Jobs has been dead since 2011 and Apple has now moved forward.
In the past they did Mac events in January. Maybe they will revert to form.
