Even if all Apple announced was the OLED strip for content aware functions, that's a significant innovation…despite how hard so many people on this forum try to downplay it. Compare that to the Surface Studio, which had fairly minor innovations in comparison (screen size/resolution for a large scale pressure sensitive device).
Got a tip for us?

There is Linux. That's where I'm going if Apple abandons me.
I think everyone agrees that he would do a lot better than one of the candidates.Tim Cook is running for President?
And everyone disagrees which one
Apple has no VR, they have not unlocked that "fantastic pencil" to work across all devices, they have no enterprise solutions that are truly interesting to most businesses, they are locked out of business accounting in any significant way... They just don't seem to have the steak to go with the sizzle these days.
Isn't that the joke?
A lot of people here and on the rest of the internet have been vilifying Apple for using Skylake in the new MacBook Pro but suddenly when Microsoft or Razer announce products with Skylake chips nobody complains.
I would jump to linux too except that none of my applications run nativelly on it. No Photoshop, no 3D Studio Max, No Fruity Loops...
I noticed that a couple of big chains are selling AirPort Express and Time Capsule at dumped prices this weekend... do I smell clearance sale to make room for new releases?
Those peripherals haven't been updated in ages, so it's about time. Wouldn't expect them to be announced on stage though. More likely they'll just quietly appear as a footnote on apple.com.

agreed, and to be I'm probably as guilty as others for doing that very thing. Tbh, I'm liking the Razer, they're making some really eye popping machines
I know this event starts in an hour and half's time, yet i'm still hitting refresh with Macrumors. you've still my love drug Apple... entertain me with your products!
I agree. I hope to be surprised, but as I've said all along, this event feels cobbled together at the last minute.
I hope there's a big picture strategy revealed with a renewed focus on the Macs. Otherwise it will be just be shoring up holes in the product line that have been neglected for years.
Ready or not I still think that they'll announce new iMacs/Mac Pros just for announcing them. (and probably launching in Q1 2017)
I first read "glut of Retina MBPs being returned to AppleCare"... I remember an insurance company reported that the number of iPhones being "accidentally" destroyed jumped up every time Apple released a new phone...
The Apple Pencil works in combination with specialized hardware inside the iPad Pro models, so although technically Apple could add that hardware across their lineup going forward (if that really made sense to do), it's not possible to simply "unlock" the functionality in prior devices.
Thank you. That's the power of the internet.
Imagine how big it could be if they put any kind of effort into it...
Apple only has about 5% of the computer market. How about taking some of the 95% they don't have? They are leaving tens of billions on the table while 60% of the total revenue of the company depends on a single product that exists in a finicky market.
Amazing.
I do believe we will start seeing some interesting innovation from apple. They are setting up some pretty massive offices and universities etc all over the world. They are building a foundation. Right now its a bit stagnant but not that much. Not enough for any of us to actually switch ecosystems. All their devices are well made and while not always cutting edge, are damn good.
