I know TikTok and influencer marketing is like, the way to do things now, I get it

But something rubs me the wrong way when I see an official Apple promo piece featuring the cringe TikTok TTS voice

I don’t know, it just feels like they used to be better than this…

Love the new hardware tho
Yeah it's kinda cringe.

but 'influencer' is too directly tied to social media apps only and now its 'content creator' lol. Unless said content being created is for a very large workflow and not something to upload on social media for an iPhone Pro's resolution for consumption what's the point?
 
Good catch! But she's not wearing an Apple Watch Series 8 or Apple Watch Ultra. Come on, Apple!

I was wondering about this. Are all presenters required to wear the apple watch? I doubt they would allow something like the Galaxy Watch for obvious reasons, but I see all the presenters wearing a watch. What if one didn't want to wear a watch. Is that allowed or is that "bad for the brand".

They’re not required but it’s a good added personal touch. If Steve Jobs was around he wouldn’t have allowed that. He was very big on Marketing where Tim Cook focuses more on staying low and go with the flow.
 
Please please give us 27'' iMac!! Not the pro, but might have it as an option as well.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
 
Yet another product announcement by Apple where they mention or show No Man's Sky yet it still isn't available for Mac. Very weird.

Oh that’s because it’s literally the only PC game anyone cares about that will one day maybe probably run ok on a Mac.

Apple is completely tone deaf about gaming.

Following the announcement of the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, and a new Mac mini, Apple today shared a mini keynote-styled video on YouTube detailing the latest Macs and the new chips.

The video, 18 minutes long, features Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus and other Apple executives in Apple Park offering a presentation on the latest Macs. The video is similar to the digital online events Apple has held in the past but coincides with announcements of new Macs via press releases on the company's website.

Actually, Apple released that video on their own website on the day they launched the new macs. Likewise, they also released one for introducing the new homepod when they announced it the following day. I’m surprised no one from macrumors ever saw those videos on Apple’s website, but only on youtube.

I really doubt they'll bring back the larger iMac if I'm honest, the Mac Studio is the "new" way to experience a 27" Apple desktop.

I have a 27" iMac now and it's running fine, but I can't see myself replacing it with another all-in-one again. I can't re-use the display in it, so I'm better investing in one or two great displays, then updating the machine further down the line. Will be slightly cheaper in the long run. (This is just my opinion, not saying it's what everyone else wants or should want.)
Yea I still have a late 2014 27inch iMac and it runs great but cannot be updated, and as a result, starting to miss out on new features.

As you say it definitely comes down to personal preferences. I have always been a huge fan of the clean, minimalist design on the all in one iMac but the 24inch version is just too small.

But think might just go with new Mac mini… any suggestions on a big monitor that would pair well with it? Not sure I want to pay the $s for an Apple display.
Yep my 2014 27-inch iMac is on its last legs. Display still great though, which is why many people prefer separate monitors to Macs. Personally I love the all-in-one design.

AFAIK, no-one makes a 5k monitor as good as the Studio Display. If you're willing to downgrade to 4K you have much more choice, but the experience won't be as good..
