We've doubled-down on security - Tim

Normally I'd agree and I think it's funny, but since the WATCH? C'mon... no one even knew HOW it would look. (except one blurry-weird pc drawing like half a day before the event)... pretty much doubled-down on that one, huh?!

This might be on purpose.. PR hyping things up you know..

October 16 / iPad Air 2 = 8 - (iPad Air 2 + iPad Mini 3) =

HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED!

------
I do hope that this is a joke by someone and that they won't use iPad Mini 3 and Air 2 for the names, they just sound wierd. But as long as the Mini gets Touch ID, I'm happy.

how come the default background is different from iOS 8 and there is no podcast app?

They only updated the book preview, not the actual book..

The download is from September so nothing juicy in it.

New Touch ID iPads inbound to the John.B household in 3... 2... 1...

 

[mattburley7]

they mention burst mode (ipad air 2) so a feature that is limited to the new ipad only.

 

[k2director]

someone is getting fired

I doubt it...not in the new, feel-good, kinder, gentler Apple!

Since Tim Cook has come on board, Apple has become a lot more soft and cuddly...all the while quality control has taken a nose dive (Maps, Healthkit, iOS 8.0.1, and generally increasing bugginess of Apple releases).

Off with their heads!!!!!

The only thing more annoying then people saying this played out joke is saying "security" instead of "secrecy"

 

[batting1000]

Google just announced the Nexus 9 tablet so....yeah...this isn't on accident.

 

[xmichaelp]

This might be on purpose.. PR hyping things up you know..

Yep. The new nexus was just released. This will steal some headlines and get people talking about tomorrow.

 

[mattburley7]

this basically confirms iOS 8.1 being released too.

 

[bushido]

wonder why it doesnt show the back of the iPad Air 2 in the manual side by side

Apple, you've done screwed up iPad naming.

 

[AaronM5670]

Boy, Apple has really slackened up on security since Steve passed away... with the exception of a certain iPhone in 2010.

 

[a.coward]

This wouldn't have happened if Steve Jobs were still alive.

 

[thekeyring]

Oh boy.

Could this be a red herring from Apple? If the iPhone 6 leaks are anything to go by... No.

 

[mattburley7]

yeah notice that as well.. strange.. maybe some design change?

 

[the8thark]

You know Apple did it?
So rumour sites like MR can say "confirmed" and actually be right for a change, instead of ********ting us with their wet dreams of what they all want confirmed.

 

[S.B.G]

That's kind of a big oops!

I sure hope they aren't eliminating the mute switch; I use that all the time.
