No thanks. The last thing I want on my macbook is smudges on the screen.

also holding my arm up to touch a vertical touch screen with nothing to actually rest my arm on is just annoying and tiresome.
 
To be announced next week...

1. Macs in different colours (been one colour for way too long)

2. New Apple TV.

3. Change of Mac name, dropping the 'i' and replacing it with 'Apple'.

4. New Apple Pads.

5. New Apple Mini
 
That graphic is very remenicent of the classic Apple logo. Perhaps the tag line indicates either the resurrection of a classic product line or otherwise some idea they toyed with long ago?

Wel, it seems Apple is getting "classic" by producing lots, and lots of different devices (like they started end 80-ies).
Steve axed all that when he re-started Apple (the simple quadrant). He had to, really.
Story is deferent now.

But, hey... how about more coloured iPads?
 
why macrumors call it iPad event, to me it is clear mac event - new os x, probably new mac mini, retina imac, maybe new TBD... and ipad...
 
Because Google.

It's been too long since Apple has paid any real attention to the Apple TV

Yes yes yes yes yes!!! Please let this be it! I think the Apple TV has so much potential. It has been years since they first introduced Apple TV and is has been viewed as a hobby product. Maybe it will be moving to a product of greater stature.

An App Store
Cable or tv service alternative
Home kit hub
Games (central part of App Store)
Crazy things I haven't even thought of but will throw all my money at when I see them
 
"It's been way too long."

Hate to burst all your bubbles here , but here is a real decryption of that message :

We, here in Serbia , waited for several years for iPhone to appear in official channels to buy via providers and such.. for a last couple of months there was some increased roumors that the iPhone will come soon, and the director of state mobile provider MTS, even anounced it on a morning program in march of 2014. Since 9.9.2014. we are waiting for Ratel goverment agency to give it state wide permission to be sold (it appears that we have more regulations than China, not to mention CE) So , providers and Ratel are playing a blame game for a month , meanwhile Samsung note 4 and such appear on official market 7 days after the "1st world" ... and their prices are outrageous... but they have not real competition.

So, at last , couple a days a go , newspapers got an iPhone 6+ for a review from VIP Mobile ... so it seems it's finally is going to happen.
I know that half day of Zhenshen production of iphones would fill the whole market in Serbia, but ...

So, this is a real and only reason for "It's been way too long." ;-)
 
"It's been way too long."

Maybe they give date when you can actually find iPhone 6 in stores :D

But seriously: It's updates of old products. Nothing new.
 
Apple TV or Book

From the people I've talked to, Apple will not only be updating the iPad line, but making another announcement other than iMac or Retina thunderbolt displays. I would guess either entertainment, like TV, or something closer to education like lower end eReader (unlikely) or ibook services.
 
Run

"I think it refers to the 50 years the plastic credit card with a magnetic stripe has been in use, now to be replaced by Apple Pay, which will open the door to socio-economic changes in how people pay for items in retail environments."


Run an intellect is in the house :eek:
 
It's been way too long since the last Thunderbolt Display.
It's been way too long since the last Mac Mini.
It's been way too long since the last Apple TV.
 
Let me re edit that for you:

"Apple has plans to offer a live stream of its October 16 event, according to a source that spoke to MacRumors. As with its September 9 iPhone event viewers will be left with a blank page without the stream working".
 
It's been way to long that people have been forced to buy crappy AACs, so we're going hi-res baby!!!

That's not happening next week, but it's my wish.
 
Apple have said this is an iPad event?
Of cause Apple haven't. It's only rumoured to be an iPad event. A plausible rumour though. The usual suspects here still don't understand this.
