Last Minute WWDC Notes...

[MacRumors]

As initially reported by ThinkSecret, it appears that WWDC will bring long awaited Display Updates.

It appears, however, that Appleinsider's pricing report is not accurate. Their report claimed a price drop for the new displays with prices ranging from $999 (20") to $2999 (30").

Instead, based on sources, it appears that the revised 20" and 23" displays will keep their current prices, and the 30" will be introduced at above $3000.

MacRumors should have coverage of the WWDC Keynote tomorrow which starts at 10AM Pacific.

If that new pricing is right, it will suck. It'd be really nice if those $999-$3000 prices are right.

Well correct your flub there reporters, express was just released

Anyways, I'm just gonna sit back and wait till the announcements before I address anything, looking forward to it.......that simple.

What happened to the Airport update mentioned????

 

[Photorun]

I know we're still at the speculatin stage but if Apple actually drops to 17 inch, goes to the 20, 23 and 30 AND keeps the pricing for the 20 and 23 that'd be just one of the most stupid things Apple has pulled since the $10,000 Lisa.

 

[gwuMACaddict]

i'm still a little bummed about no new imac, but i am excited to see the new displays

 

[Wonder Boy]

i want an updated isync, damn it. 13 hours till disapointment...

 

[~Shard~]

A price drop in the displays would have been excellent, but regardless, it will still be great to have new ones - I'm curious to see exactly what they're going to look like!

And any word if there will indeed be a feed or not, or just constant text updates here at MacRumors?

Well, this doesn't really make much difference to me, I wasn't going to buy them anyway. If you are going to spend more than $1,000 on a display, what difference does a few extra hundred make?

 

[PowerMacMan]

We are almost there..!

I can't sleep

 

[Freg3000]

Pricing is a big no-no.....why the hell did it take 18 months for a 20 inch display at $1299 to become.......a 20 inch display at $1299 with some extra ports???

WHY?

 

[nsb3000]

Coverage as in text or QuickTime stream?

If History repeats itself, there will be a live text stream on Macrumors.com, followed by a streaming video after the event has been completed on Apple's site.

What about the old displays?

What does everyonee think the inventory is like on the old displays? If the prices get reduced as they try to move those out, I might consider going dual-display on my G5 and buying a second one of the older model 20" cinema displays to match my current 20" cinema display.

Hey, you never know. I'm still holding out hope for a new G5 iMac...

WHY?

I agree! So the cheapest Apple Display is going to be 1300 bucks, wow, that's great marketing! It will make sales soar~!

Big mistake on Apple's part if they don't offer a cheapers display.

Better not be true...

I've been waiting to purchase my first new Mac (2.5 G5) until the new displays come out. If there is no price change, their darn better well be some new bells and whistles. If the prices that appleinsder were correct, I would've bought the 23 HD, but now since it seems they weren't correct. $999 for "20 would've been a no-brainer for everyone, except maybe Apple.

A huge difference. As a student, the pricing is a very big deal between getting a few extra apps or not.

GIve me a 20 in for $999!

Man, that will suck if the prices are the same. I would buy a 20" for $999, but not for $300 more. I just can't justify it. I just laid down $3000 for a G5, and I can't afford a lot more. If there are discounts with new systems and a display I'm going to be ticked off though, because my G5 is only 1 week old. In any case, we'll see what tomorrow brings. I still want a new display.
