Apple's Online Store Down for Scheduled 'Maintenance' Break, Possibly Ahead of Product Updates

[Dave245]

Good question and time will tell

The thing with the iMac is that the 21" models are still on broadwell, so you can make a case to bump them up, so both the 21" and 27" are on the latest chipset.

I wonder if they do the same with the MBP, would there be hue and cry about that action from recent customers?

That's true, they could just update the 21" iMac. I think if they dropped the price of the MacBook Pro it would help but first time adopters would probably be annoyed if there are updates already. As you say time will tell

iPod Pros?

Space grey dongles.

They should have been doing silent speed bumps for the same macs every year. So if it's only a speed bump I'm wondering why they're doing this after so many years. If the iMac only gets a speed bump and no redesign whats however, it's my last needed push to Windows 10.

You won't hear any arguments from me on that!

Unfortunately I already jumped and built myself a new PC a couple of months ago. My Mac Mini is sat here collecting dust. I love OSX but am just do disillusioned with Apple and their attitude to desktops currently, that I've forced myself to un-tangle myself from OSX.

* macbook air gone

I hope not. It is the last MacBook that makes sense for education.

 

[Taustin Powers]

Would like to see a new Mac Pro.

But it will probably just be new watch bands....

 

[OzyOly]

Anyone considered space grey AirPods?

They won't remove the MacBook Air yet, Phil Schiller said exactly that during the October Mac keynote.

Two words:

Watch bands

Different coloured AirPods would be pretty cool.

I wish they'd just give it spec bumps.

 

[stringent]

Price increases for the UK. AGAIN.

I wouldn't read into it too much. this image seems to be three years old View attachment 692939

Lol, for my feeling it was 2014 when they brought refreshes to market. Maybe just speed bumps or color socks or the battery hump.

Upgraded AppleTv works for me

Upgraded AppleTv works for me

Yes!!

 

[9081094]

We're talking about a company that thought iPod Socks were "special".

Edit. Ha. Someone else was thinking the same thing. Apple's underwhelmingness is that well known.

I'm waiting for an iPhone mini. My sock has schrunk after washing

 

[Dave245]

I wish they'd just give it spec bumps.

Not sure if they will go that far but yes it would, i do think eventually that the MacBook or the 13" MacBook without Touch bar will replace it but not until prices fall and i think Apple know this.

 

[navaira]

the battery hump

...for rMB.

That's going to be awesome, revolutionary and innovative.

iMac Ryzen edition?

MacPro Ryzen edition?

If there is no new iMac or MacPro now, Ryzen could be the reason (APUs and low-power versions are only planned for later this year)

 

[Daws001]

Omg! They're going to have the Nintendo Switch in stock!

 

[jscooper22]

Even if just speed/processor/ram bumps, upgrading the Minis and MPs so I don't have to pay a premium for 2-3 year old technology would be nice.

 

[Firebrand]

there should be new stuff coming, otherwise Apple wouldn't say "we've got something special in store for you"

New Packaging ;-)

Seriously, I'd like to see more regular silent updates too.

Jet Black AirPods would be really cool
