Apple Predicted to Launch Apple Watch Sport in Yellow & Rose Gold, New iMacs & iPad Mini Later This Year

I really don't think a marginally tweaked iPad Air is going to drive people away from the iPad Pro though. It's just going to make people like
less, because the Air would be their most popular lineup. People don't just say, there isn't a new iPad Air, I'm just going to get a larger, more expensive iPad. The iPad Pro would barely sell better if there was no new Air around. So , if you're thinking of not updating the iPad Air, you're doing the wrong thing.
There's nothing wrong with more choice, but everyone may feel free not to buy it. It's certainly not going to stop me from going with a Space Gray 6s+
Uhh, Samsung had 2 Smartwatch on the market before Apple even announced they were making one. And both were square watches. So how exactly did Samsung ripoff a non-existent Apple Watch?
And Xiaomi doesn't even have a Smartwatch on the market. Just a Mi-band thing that is more akin to the defunct Nike Fuelband.
Sounds to me like you you are just bashing other products without actually knowing anything about them.
Cook already said that the Chinese market is now a major player in decisions regarding Apple product design. Gold colored electronics are very popular in China, and that alone is reason enough for Apple to give every product they make a gold or rose gold paint job.There's nothing wrong with more choice, but everyone may feel free not to buy it.

An anodized gold sport watch would instantly get the label of poor man's Apple Watch Edition.
And strong Mac sales? I thought they were slipping? But I'm no analyst. I guess by new iMac he means the new Intel CPU.
Will be interesting to see what happens with the iPad this year though. I can't believe they will not update the Air this year. A9X for instance?
But if they do launch some sort of 'Pro' iPad at an undoubtedly expensive price, it better be incredibly capable as I doubt it will have OSX but it will be directly competing with full blown Windows tablets.

No surprise on the sliding sales of the iPad. That one I think most of us could have made. The real question regarding the iPad is what will Apple do? I can see them offering a larger "pro" version but I'm not sold that will have the same effect as the plus had on the iPhone sector.
Hello everyone, I want to buy 2015 new Imac, but may only be spending $ 2,299.
So I would like to ask you, do you think the price of 2015 models 5K imac would be increased it?

The actual number is about 3.5 years (except for the first iMac these are announcement dates as much as I know):
- Translucent iMac: Aug 1998 - Jan 2002 > 3.5 yr
- Desklamp iMac: Jan 2002 - July 2004 > 2.5 yr
- White chin: Aug 2004 - Aug 2007 > 3 yr
- Silver chin: Aug 2007 - Oct 2012 > 5 yr
- Thin edge: Oct 2012 - ?
However, if you count the screen size change (not much else changed case-wise) in 2009 the average is 2.8 years:
- Translucent iMac: Aug 1998 - Jan 2002 > 3.5 yr
- Desklamp iMac: Jan 2002 - July 2004 > 2.5 yr
- White chin: Aug 2004 - Aug 2007 > 3 yr
- Silver chin: Aug 2007 - Oct 2009 > 2 yr
- Silver chin large: Oct 2009 - Oct 2012 > 3 yr
- Thin edge: Oct 2012 - ?
If they stick to a fall release, yes.
The question is whether your memory on this is more reliable than Kuo's track record. How often do you misremember the order in which things have happened in the past?
The first Skylake processors are going to be released this fall and ones for the MBP won't be available until the end of 2016?

The one thing I wish for, a 13" iPad, isn't coming.
Maybe they'll get rid of the $10,000 version completely.
It's not an Apple product.
Save the best whine until last.
It would be good if they made the iMac a chinless wonder.
Preferably a 34" one with an optical drive.

Much worse if you have the gold edition and people think its the fake gold edition.
Of course they do. It would be ridiculous to stop all development until everyone who had the current version was happy!
The people who want a gold-colored Apple watch are in two groups: Those who can afford an Edition Watch, and those who can't. I suspect the second group is bigger by a large margin.
Perhaps Apple believes they will sell enough gold-colored Sport watches to make up for the few lost sales of Edition watches.
Also, the Edition could be slated for new materials as well. How about a Platinum Edition Watch?
No, it wouldn't. Anodised aluminium is not gold. If your iPhone is gold-coloured, you might want to have a fitting Apple Watch for it, like you can with space grey and silver. The Apple Watch Sport is designed for activities and casual wear, not formal wear. Those in the market for an Apple Watch Edition will not be put off by a gold-coloured Apple Watch Sport. Besides, the Sport already looks cheaper than the regular Apple Watch. By your definition, the Apple Watch Sport is the de facto poor man's watch.
"Nearly indistinguishable", you must be jesting. It's aluminium, not gold. Anodised aluminium can never match real gold. Who buys the Apple Watch Edition for the colour? No one. You buy the Edition for the quality and its expensive materials.
I agree. The iPad market seems to be reaching saturation point. Hard to find a compelling reason for most people to upgrade. Multi-tasking or multiple user accounts could be a growth point. But multi-tasking sounded like it was an iOS thing coming to all models. And I've always speculated that Apple wasn't keen on multi-user accounts because shared devices could result in a decrease in sales.
The watch numbers were surprising. Still an upward tick in sales predicted for a Gen 1 device with lukewarm sales. I thought it would have tailed off a bit until IOS2 and the second gen arrive to add more third party functionality and hopefully some of the key features missed the first go round.
I wouldn't buy the silver aluminium, it looks cheap, so everyone to their taste.
My iPhone 6 Plus is gold so I'd be interested in gold on the Watch. However if I knew future iPhones would be available in rose gold, I would probably go for that instead as a Watch colour.
With SSD prices falling down, Apple better is ready to offer an updated iMac lineup with that is ssd or flash only!! no more spinning hard drives.
Now day 240-256GB SSD can be had for as low as $70 and 480-512GB SSD are already popping up on sales for as low as $130-160.
If Apple still wants to be cheap, I would suggest that they perhaps use a regular SSD for low end models or base models - say 256GB SSD and then charge more for 512GB/1TB/2TB Flash (PCI-E) based storage which is typically faster,etc. For a customer it would still be win-win situation and for Apple they would still be able to save some money by not offering super fast storage in the base models.

No new iPad Air? Guess I'm waiting until 2016 then... Thanks for deciding to do this now, Apple. When I really am itching to upgrade.
So what is the difference between sky lake and the current one?
kemal: What would be the new Intel CPU?
