Cool. This is the day I will finally know how much I'm going to have to shell out for a Mac Pro
If i had to guess it will start at 1999.99
So that's why every iPhone they sell is retina? And that makes the 5C for adults and not kids.
Something had to make the plastic phone worth getting
They keep the profit margin up on the mini by already charging a premium price for a mini retina even though the first didn't have it.
Shaking my head at the gullible sheep in this thread now hoping for Touch ID in every Mac gadget. You know where this is heading right? If the NSA aren't collecting fingerprints at the present time, there's no telling when Apple will recieve a secret court order demanding Apple to start collecting and turning over all finger prints without the consent and knowledge of the users. Have you myopic people learned anything at all from the revelations these last months?
Yep they definitely don't care about computers, even if they do spend billions a year on manufacturing them
You can roll your eyes all you want, his point is well taken. Apple absolutely is not as focused on their computer line than they are the iToys. And, as you rightly point out, that while they spend and MAKE billions off of their Mac line, Apple is obviously more concentrated on the more profitable iToy line of consumer products.
For those of us who have been Mac users for a long time, we can only hope that Apple spins off the Mac division as a separate entity. PC's are far from dead, but Apple doesn't believe that and I fear the day is coming when they announce "in 2 weeks we're going to quit making Macs 'cause hardly anyone is buying them"....
After-all, they've done it before.
Mark my words... iPad mini will not have everything that iPad has. Maybe some but not all. Retina? 64 bit A7 processor? 8MP camera? I'd say only chip but definitely not Retina or 8MP camera. Retina is one of the flagship features for the top of the range iPads. It's what differentiates between the adults and the kids
Tell that to the Nexus 7.
I sold my iPad 3 based on similar rumors in Mach...how do you think I'm feeling lol

No clue why i just read your comment as "Been waiting in line for this...". I need to lay off the studying.
I had to read that a few times as well. He meant as the starting model aka cheaper for larger ones.
Don't get me wrong, the more the better but I can't see these 2 devices being identical and just the size to differentiate. If that's the case, then I'll definitely grab a mini
Same here.
I gotta feeling they will... If there resolution 2048-by-1536, that none out in the industry have on a smaller tablet... I think they will mark it up.
2013 Nexus 7 actually marked up there tablet from last year model $200 to $230. And Nexus has a 1920-by-1200.

I don't know about A7 or 8MP camera but why would it not have retina? It was a total surprise the first one didn't have it. If the 2nd still doesn't, it will flop and flop huge. Just look how many people on MR are wanting, no, DEMANDING, it have retina. Apple knows it would be an epic fail if it released a mini without it. They may be having manufacturing constraints and it may come out with very limited supply but it will have it.

I sold my iPad 3 about two weeks ago for 410.00 plus shipping. I also threw in a few extras that would be obsolete with the iPad 5 anyways. I knew to sell it before this announcement. I'm guessing you'd get a little less than I did now.
