]'Of course you can ignore specific news outlets in the Apple news app, and you’ve always been able to. 1) tap on an article from that source in the feed 2) tap the name of the news outlet in the header 3) tap the heart with a line through it. The app will stop showing news from that source. I’ll send you my bill for that $9.99.
Holey Moley I did not know that. Thank you!
Yep, we sign up for Netflix for a couple of months each year, watch the handful of interesting programs, then cancel. And the best part, no need to buy an Apple product to do it.
As alluded to by the "w" in the invite, we're clearly getting a new subscription-based TV service that we can awkwardly fold ourselves up and watch!![eye-twitch-crazy-smile-emoji-gif.826075]()
Yeah, that 'W' isn't doing it for me marketing wise. A very rare miss by Apple in this regard.
Simple solution, don't stream the keynote and don't watch the keynote later. Then, Apple will pay attention if no one watches it. Of course, with the current Apple, the solution for the next keynote will be something like putting some band on stage to get the attention Apple cannot, instead of designing and building great products.
It's still Q1 of 2019 and this is an event about video and news streaming services so we're not even close yet. WWDC 2019 is the best bet but that might only contain an announcement about a new Mac Pro.
Jeez, reading the comments on this post make me never want to visit this site again...and I've been a member for what 17 years...
What exactly do you expect the comments to be like given what Apple has been doing (or not) of late?
Ooh! Will there be new emojis? I do hope so. Will Tim change his name to Tim Emoji? Will he have his own emoji?
Can I have one?
(tongue-in-cheek... I do miss the old Apple...)
I am definitely getting the new ipad mini to replace my 5 yr old ipad mini 2. I wish it would get the flat edged design of the pros with face ID & apple pencil 2 support, but it doesn’t look like that is happening.
But i am most intrigued about the ipod touch. What will Apple do with it? I don’t currently have an iphone. In fact, I don’t have any phone. By choice. I travel a lot & communicate exclusively thru my ipad with a grandfathered unlimited AT&T data plan. I know i am in the minority, or perhaps totally alone lol...but this setup works for me.
I am a travel blogger, and I use a 5th gen ipod touch as my pocket travel camera along with a gopro & drone.
So I am really curious about this rumored ipod touch. I would love to see a beefed up camera on par with the iphone cameras. When you really think about it, an ipod touch primarely marketed as a music device doesn’t make much sense anymore. Apple could market it as an ipad nano actually. But one that you don’t feel silly taking pictures with. I dunno.
I know a lot of people are saying that the ipod touch is a gateway device for little kids...and that does make sense. But most kids i know have an iphone so their parents can keep in contact with them.
Ipod touches only have wifi. Who knows...Maybe Apple will add cellular?! I doubt it. But the ipod touch really seems to be in no mans land as far as identity. All the more reason for Apple to try something interesting & unique with the ipod touch this time. Really surprise people. Give it a 360 degree camera! Lol.
I think it’s safe to say none of that will happen tho. I see a modest speed increase. Updated basic camera, and it will be marketed for kids as a gaming device more than a camera or music player. We’ll see.

Tim Cook:
"Introducing the brand new Mac lineup: MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook, Mac Pro... all of them come with slow ARM processor and everyone's favorite phone operating system iOS."

It’s not quite that. The problem is that many of our once beloved news sources have become propaganda outlets. The news journalists do not ask basic questions around the stories they pretend to cover - and a lot of people have noticed! Who what when where why - that’s all GONE. Instead you get opinions and assumptions pushed even when there are obvious doubts and a whole other side of the story that needs to be told but is instead completely ignored.
It’s sad - we now have the ministry of truth telling us this and that “without a doubt” and it just isn’t so.
“Don’t believe what you think” became my new motto several years ago. Try questioning the next story you read and ask why they won’t even pose a simple question opposite to the opinion they are pushing on the “news”.
News is something that should be reported - not preached.
So this means I need to wait until October to find out that MacBooks are still overpriced, storage is more expensive per ounce than gold, and the keyboard and T chips are still premature failure points?
"We are introducing them today...hope to show them off at WWDC and then likely release them in the Fall"
(and 3 of the models will get delayed into 2020)
Pour one out for all the companies and brands that didn't adapt and disappeared or got bought out: Tandy, Commodore, DEC, Compaq, Gateway, VAIO, Nokia...
The Negative rhetoric on MacRumors isn’t indicative of everybody elses viewpoints on the keynote on March 25, it’s a very small percentage of users. Think about it, millions of people/media outlets will be tuning into this event to see what Apple has to offer in terms of services and maybe even hardware, there is a lot of negativity on _this site_ , you just have to sift through it and use your own perception of what you want to see, and overlook those who simply have nothing more to offer than Snark comments that really aren’t worth anything of value. On that note, I do look forward to see what March 25 has to offer, as I think Apple’s keynote is usually I find interesting for the few that we are entertained with during the year.
I hope they are smarter than that. As biased as many people are, I would be hoping for something real when it comes to news. Not just whoever is making a good business out of it or making propaganda out of it.
If they could release a plan between the $2.99 and $9.99 plans (let’s say 1TB at $4.99) that would make me very happy.
What about iMacs?!![]()
Hardware
We're expecting minor updates for a number of Apple products, including the iPad mini, iPad, AirPods, and iPod touch, and the launch of the AirPower is rumored to be on the horizon.

I agree. Heck, I used to put them on the calendar and made it a point to watch one way or another or at least follow a live feed at work. Now, meh
You are they guys making this place boring, with the same old line like a bunch of party members. Do you prepare in Reddit?
