The best thing about the keynote was the last song before it all started.
Right after that deadly boredom.

Why is it a "panic" to fill the needs of a minority, but reasonably large group of customers? Now the "cheap" iPhone gets one of the best SoC's on the market. You could literally apply a silly "panic" label to any product Apple releases. I'm sure they're just a bunch of panicked engineers and marketing people sweating and bouncing off the walls in fear for their lives.
No "proper machining", what? Obviously it saves cost to use an existing design, which was already "proper". I'm not interested in one, but I'm happy the internals are on the good side of what was possible (A9 instead of A8, etc).
Major, major snooze fest.
They should be ashamed of themselves for allowing their computer lineup to languish.

- maybe 256GB wasn't ready. Technology always moves forward... are you complaining that this happens?
Oh if only the new WatchiOS could allow me to hook up 2 phones to one watch vs the other way around.
I have a work phone and my phone...wish i could have both linked to my watch.
[doublepost=1458610839][/doublepost]I remember each X.1 iOS update was something big. Something useful and something I can tell a difference in my phone that made it felt somewhat 'new.'
With this, basically we get password protected Notes and a screen that turns yellow at 7pm....
I think the point of this Keynote was not for the products, but to address to the public the FBI unlock and their environmental progress & endeavors.

Actually, it's Autodesk that makes the AutoCAD apps
. As far as the full version goes, you need a powerful desktop class machine to pull off this kind of work for the heavy lifting. Seriously. But a lighter version is appropriate only as a conceptualization stage.[doublepost=1458611306][/doublepost]
That part was insulting to me and I own an iMac. It's really unfair to the PC market because most Macs today cannot be upgraded internally ( except for the RAM ). Most of the desktop PCs have modulated internals that allow users to swap parts for better performance.
To say that PCs are five years obsolete is " sad " is a travesty. NO. It's far more sadder when the Macs are really soldered in without any upgrades.
But that's not the biggest load of BS I've seen. What ticked me off was Cook's claim that the Apple Watch was the " #1 best selling smart watch in the world ". BS! I've only seen one or two in the wild but that's it.
What's more of a travesty is that the executives believing in a ' lie ' living in one.

He got lazy.

He got lazy.
I wouldn't say lazy as much as he started to believe anything he did was 'magical' and innovative. I think he's missing the 'ying' to his 'yang' to channel his talent.
Absolutely. There's no one to hold him accountable or push him further to create. Without having any kind of feedback from peers of his level, there would be creative stagnation.
That sounds more like a stock clearance announcement. SE: old sensor, old case, same old sheet. 9" iPad Pro: USB2.0? Pro? It is a shame to use an Apple Pro product with an already phased out technology.
And yes, let's bet that in less than 6 months, a USB 3.0 version iPad Pro-ass with 256GB will arrive. Then in another 3 months, they will stick the dual lens there.
Keep poking, keep buying, people.
Btw, I try not to complain news selection here.. because afterall...
A good product doesn't need a sales, a good sales can't sell a bad product.
Apple does not only disappoint me, it makes me miss the good old days when Steve was still here. So captain america.

So disappointed at the new Apple Watch bands. I want a variation on Sports bands new waterproof bands so I don't have to keep using these cheap plastic looking ones. Instead they focus on the fashion end instead of the sports end.
I was really hoping that Apple would have made a smart band

But But But....... the new iPad is "The Ultimate PC Replacement" according to Apple themselves"
This is so disappointing ... NOT.
All this negativity is expected with all the trolls that have been commenting in recent years.

I have to say, looking at the specs, Apple have pretty much just launched the best tablet available on the market right now! For a price.
Very very very impressive. I think it may replace more computers out there now even.

There are trolls and there is genuine disappointment. I'd say there's a lot of the latter.
I'd consider myself a fan. Or I used to at least. I stopped buying Macs in 2012. This iPhone I have may be my last.
Apple has become arrogant and unnecessarily greedy. Their demise is beginning and is going to make for a painful viewing. The great always fall. You'd think someone would learn from history...
That part by Cook was insulting and ignorant. This guy is definitely smoking something and needs to be removed from his position. He clearly doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. The iPad is NOT the Ultimate PC Replacement. Hell no. Not even by a long shot.
If that was the case, then why is he's seen sitting next to his iMac in the TIMES cover photo?
He even said " ...and we think you're gonna love it. " a few times in the presentation on each product unveiling.
If he truly wanted the iPad Pro to be a PC replacement, he should be talking to the Modbook guys for a lesson on how to do it right.
The Modbook, even though it's very expensive, IS the tablet computer Apple should have been trying to build.
And the other thing is that the ' pc replacement ' is total BS. Every time I go to the coffeehouse here, I see everyone, including the college students, use laptops. Sure I see tablets here and there, even a Kindle to read. But the iPad wasn't their main " workhorse ".
Tim embarrasses me with his lack of foresight and I think he IS the one who is out of touch with reality, along with Jony Ive ( whom I'm thinking is getting burnt out ). Apple has ' plateaued ', and so has Jony. Seriously.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that those new nylon watch bands looks really bad! The colours look awful, and really cheap! Wish all the bands would come down in price too! Find it hard to justice an insanely high cost in order to swap bands to match what I'm wearing.
