Live Coverage of Apple's 'Hello Again' Mac Event

[mthomas184]

Hey I'm late, what's everyone been bitching about the most ?

EVERYTHING apparently. Including the music at the beginning....

 

[scottish]

Pure marketing Apple speak. actually its probably most companies. They gotta keep the hype going.

It wasn't always like this. Or maybe it was just Steve's delivery was more natural? Bit like Craig's.

 

[maflynn]

Mac Pro is history.

I'm thinking that this is going to be a laptop only event, and yes the MP may be gone.

 

[soupcan]

"You with having to come to us to fix the thing, us with having to fix them..."

This will become a reality again when you have no MagSafe. I mean, you have all this space here that's unused. Why not add two MagSafe ports then? And the SD card reader? And the type A USB port that is literary every peripheral ever?

 

[Pez555]

move on to the macbook please cant afford the pro!

 

[Tech198]

I think its a bummer that the magsafe is missing, I will say that interface saved my bacon a few times.

I guess that would them compliment the disappearance of the heapdhone jack on 7/7 Plus ... Gotta make the adjustments based on what Apple reckons is best.

It's looking more and more like I'll just get a Macbook at this rate. If they announce a price drop for them, that's what I'm probably going to get.

Can almost guarantee that they're going to use the Touch Bar as primary justification for the expected high price of these things. A feature that I have little to no interest in.

 

[KPOM]

Kill magsafe but keep the headphone port??? Im not following especially since audio can be carried over USB-c

Lightning might have been a better approach, but then again Apple will be pushing wireless.

 

[mrgraff]

Wow, the Touch Bar shows you the timeline. So does the display!

 

[Traverse]

And a massively faster SSD.

And 2x graphics, and better speakers, much better screen. etc.

 

[yaxomoxay]

So far this is more pathetic than the keynote in which they spent half an hour speaking of environment.
If you use the "Hello." Slogan for a mac release you better deliver.

 

[Barrierfreeman]

That really looks so awkward.

 

[DevNull0]

The focus and effort they're putting into using the touch bar says it all.

She had trouble getting the slider to the right spot because it's so fiddly.

 

[TheHorrorNerd]

Surface studio is looking great right now...

[Keniutek]

Wait, wait, wait. I can't connect an iOS device without a dongle???

also Space Grey while they just went away with it on iPhone

 

[syphern]

she didnt make this some poor kid in foxxcon made it! for 10 cents

 

[BornAgainMac]

Mac Pro is history.

Yeah, I am hoping they at least tell people today rather than letting people suffer in waiting for it.

 

[Tech198]

She sounds like an infomercial salesperson selling chamois.

I thought that as well.. At least Final Cut Pro is getting a mention.

 

[dixido]

Apple has jumped the shark with that gimmicky OLED emoji bar!

 

[rendevouspoo]

Is there a way to watch on iPhone? Apple.com is not allowing me to see or click on the event.

 

[talkybear]

Cannot help but thinking: isn't a full touch screen much more convenient for everything that was showcased today with the "magic toolbar"?

 

[erzhik]

Last gen Pro was better than this.

This wa so ba the audience was already over it..... the claps got less and less every passing minuets this is sad by them..... a surface tablet is more powerful than their most expensive "pro" laptop just sad ... I thought apple would actually try..... guess they proved me wrong here
