iPad Mini, MacBook Pro, and Magic Keyboard Batteries Resubmitted to Regulatory Database Ahead of Apple Event

[Crow_Servo]

So we’re not to expect new iPads (plural), but there may be a new iPad (singular). A new gaming-ready Mini would be interesting.

I want a new iPad Mini but expect it will be as underwhelming as Apples other releases in the past years… They seem to be hell bent on making tech boring these days, I rarely watch their events anymore since they just present something that’s the same as last year but slightly faster.

If you want any more proof of NO ONE really knowing what will be shown today, look no further then this article, clearly stating a new rumour about the iPad Mini 7th gen, yet on the front page today of this website is an article stating ‘what to expect’ at the event and they clearly state no iPads. No one has a clue basically. When Koh and Gurman stated no new iPad Mini would be launched on the very same day Apple released the 6th gen Mini, and the claims of a total Apple Watch redesign with the series 8, they lost any respect from me as to being any more accurate then the man in the street.

Slightly? I must’ve been dreaming this whole ARM transition and iMac redesign with colors and white bezels. So, so boring! 😐

Oh yeah, the Mini. Why do you buy the one Mac, which is supposed to be nothing but a cheep small box without peripherals?

How would you know what they present if you rarely watch?

It is almost like the website is called MacRumors and not MacRumor.

I see nothing wrong with all the rumors being posted.

You think watching the event is the only way to see which products Apple sells?

I was talking iPad Mini, should probably specified that. Macs do nothing for me as I can’t work from them and for personal stuff iPads are better.

I wonder if it will get a “regular” (non-“Pro”) version of the A17. Would be weird for Apple to release an A17 Pro and no other A17 chips until next year, assuming the base iPhone 16 gets the non-Pro A17.

The rumors are all iPhone 16/Pro will be getting an A18/Pro. The A17 Pro was kind of a one-off with the difficult 3NB process. They won’t be reusing that process, so there won’t be another A17.

I thought it was strange that the iPad Mini 6 showed on the refurb store a few months after it's release. Perhaps there have been alot of returns and Apple are addressing the hardware concerns early with the 7. 🤔 maybe Jelly scroll is hurting iPad Mini sales.

I'm buying a mini in the next few days, so I'm quite excited to see what happens tonight - if no new mini is announced and shipping reasonably soon, I'm buying a 6/256 tomorrow.

 

[*~Kim~*]

Definitely an irregular time - midnight in the UK, it’s usually early evening.

 

[MBAir2010]

will Kuo and Gurman make a brief appearance today?

they will randomly pop up their heads and say:
"na-na I told you so....."

 

[dumastudetto]

I’m hoping it’s an iPad-only event.

 

[mushy peas]

I’m hoping that the new Magic Mouse has a usb-c port in the front or back, which forces Apple to make the MM higher. Even with my medium sized hands the damn thing is too low profile.

 

[mikebenton]

I agree with you size wise. I’ve had an iPad Mini, a 10.9” iPad and a 12.9” iPad Pro. The 12.9”, for me, is simply too big to be used in a practical way, as a tablet at least. The Mini and the 10.9” are a lot more easy to carry around and use as tablet while the Mini takes the crown for me.

The iPad mini needs FaceID.

Preferably the front!

If they announce an iPad mini with ProMotion, they can just take my money. Also, a new Touch ID Magic Keyboard would be great also, because mine has been so buggy ever since I bought it.

No idea, I live in a country area and no Apple stores near me thus I order everything online direct from Apple Australia, in my 40 years of buying Macs I have never had this situation before, I read all the rumours and said no new MacBook Pros, and the day it turned up, I see Apple event pop up, UGH, I think its a bit rich that apple processed my order knowing full well these new M3 Macs were about to be released, and happily took my 6 grand, now I have to try and find a way to see if I can exchange it ? I AM VERY angry to be honest ! They should have delayed my order for a week, that would have been a better option.

Contact Apple support in your country. You can return it. Guarantee!

I hope they upgrade the Magic Keyboard to feel like the new MBPs.

Maybe wait till the weekend when the xmas returns window should open & have 2 months instead of 2 weeks to check it out & return it if needed.

Aren’t they basically the same keys?

 

[chongsen]

I will not upgrade my Macbook Pro 16 M1 till Face ID reinvented by Apple in Macbooks.

Performance and battery life are both in surplus mode.

 

[wellander1]

No inventory shortage on the iPad mini or the keyboards.

 

[ssl0408]

I really like the iPad Mini 6 that I have but it is not as useful because of the awful operating system that doesn't take advantage of the screen size and many other things. I find it frustrating to use and I end up just using my iPhone or MacBook Pro.

Is Apple trying to outdo Michael Jackson's Thriller debut? lol

Whom here is old enough to remember getting school letters to take home informing their parents warning to accompany their children when watching the Thriller event?

Good times.

Don't rememeber that. But I'm old enough to remember seeing Thriller at the Avco Theater in Westwood, CA.
