Apple Store Down Ahead of Rumored New iPad Pro Announcement

[teh_hunterer]

Are we really expecting the store to be down until 10am?

Well I'll be.... Grumman was right. His faith is restored.
Wonder if we'll get anything else other then new iPads though?

I expect we will have the usual tech You Tubers posting videos later today then with their reviews.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

Been waiting for a couple of years to get back onto an iPad. Will be ordering the 11" today with any luck. Tried a friend's 12.9 M1 mini led and while it's an awesome slab of tech, it's too big and redundant with my 14" MBP.

Maybe not...

I always get excited when the Apple Store goes down. Am I weird?

You really need to seek help, we can all get together and talk apple.

So thats 7 pm CET that we find out what they’re updating? I dunno I enjoy the Apple Events almost more than the actual products, its one of the few times we get to meet people who are making our products. I’d really miss them if they were going to drop Apple Events.

New iPad air is now live on the site...

iPad Air

iPad Air features an 11- or 13-inch Liquid Retina display, M3 chip, Apple Intelligence, 12MP Center Stage front camera, and supports Apple Pencil Pro.

www.apple.com

isn't that the old one?

edit: air was updated earlier this year. i don't think this is a new model...

New Mini with portrait mode jelly screen.

Kind of weird wanting jelly mode in both orientations? 😜

 

[imnotthewalrus]

I enjoy watching all you Rich people moan about the money you’re spending when i dont have to spend. Because I ‘m poor!

I'm in the same boat. I like keeping up with what's new though.

Unapologetically balanced design if you ask me.

If you're poor then I don't know what I am. Looking at your signature you have multiple computers! A Mac Pro, Mac Mini, a PC....

"Mac Pro 2010 3.46Ghz 6 Core 32GB Ram GTX 1080 8GB
Mac Mini M1 256GB ,8GB RAM,
PC- I9 11900K , RTX 3080TI , 32GB DDR4"

you must be rich!

I'm sure you are right, the website was just showing New next to it, been out the loop with iPads for a while now.

 

[TexanWes]

I was trying to track my order and it was down. Hopefully, it's a good upgrade and the website is back up soon.

 

[darngooddesign]

That's why he's poor.

 

[krspkbl]

Thats why he is poor.

i think "he" is a girl going by the username

We might get MacBook Pros. Just got a business email saying the new MacBook Pros are available for a discount.

 

[jonnysods]

So will there be an ipadOS macOS + hardware keynote/video coming out this fall?

Why don't you steal like the big fish do?

doesn't mention that they are M2 models. could be old M1 models. or maybe your business got a good deal on the M1 models because M2 is coming...

They identify as poor.

doesn't look like it. the new ipads, macbook pros, mac mini look like they are getting a small release. it's not really worth doing a big song and dance video for these new models since they are basically only spec boosts to M2. everything else is basically the same.

The “Take Note” teaser makes me think that maybe we’re about to get a new Apple Pencil? We’re coming up on 4 years since the release of the second gen model. Not sure what they would add but I’d be interested to see.

As @bobjonesco mentioned above: Find My. Maybe some improvement in the already impressive latency department? Slightly different aesthetic? Colors?

Maybe some texture or haptics to mimic texture? I hate the overly smooth feel of the current pencils - it makes my already awful writing worse, and Master screen protectors kill the screen quality.
