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

[Polaroid]

So a newly purchased Iphone 7 cant be plugged into a new MBP?
Thats just good business...

Go to an Apple Store and ask them to swap it out... I'm sure they would - I know its different, but when headphones/cables break they ALWAYS replace for free, even out of warranty lol.

 

[boast]

Pro's don't like keyboard shortcuts anyways... -.-

Looks great but I'll probably buy the 15" model next year. If the 13" performance is close to my maxed out 15" 2015 rMBP, I might switch to the smaller size.

 

[Bigsk8r]

Wow... Pippi Longstocking moved on to Adobe. Who knew?

Federighi is in a different class as a speaker.

As in NO class. Smarmy, condescending, clueless, standup comic wannabe. But he's perfect for the current Apple mindset... style trumps substance. Just like their products!!!

 

[rhett7660]

I've got a bad feeling. Wouldn't new iMacs come before all this software talk?

I thought there was mention the new iMacs have been delayed? They were talking about on a few podcasts. I don't know if it was official or not.

Seriously all this "touch bar" focus is just stupid. I mean if you implemented entire full touchscreen on the new mbp then you would not need this gimmicky touch bar crap.

But of course that would require apple to do real work as in make macos work right. Implement full touch screen on the damn computer and you would do away with all these gimmicky features. The only feature that is worthy is the new touch ID chip. Other than the larger mac trackpad everything is so meh...please let the price be the same/cheaper.

Touch screen computers don't work. It is uncomfortable and there has been no good UI to allow both touch and mouse input seamlessly.

 

[maflynn]

Correct me if I'm wrong but many serious PS users have multiple monitors so the full screen option (while nice) is mitigated

 

[Tech198]

Well at least the laptop still has a headphone jack.

hehe .. oh ya sure.. break the ice

 

[Dannyshing27]

keep looking for the bar to scroll ahead on the keynote

 

[smorrissey]

my eyes are up and on HER image if you know what i mean

She distracts me! Is she a hiptser?

 

[BootsWalking]

My hands are tired from just thinking about it. I'd rather they not shoehorn a touch screen into a laptop just to "me too" Microsoft.

You'd rather crimp your hands and fingers into a tiny strip of touch-sensitive keys awkwardly placed between the keyboard and screen?

 

[Grohowiak]

The way she works in photshop is sooo daaaamn slow!
This is ridiculous! Back to stoneage seriously!

Never has a presenter sounded like they have a their family locked in Tim Cook's basement.

 

[oftheheavens]

These "previews" make me laugh! They're too tiny to use and the colorful icons will be distracting.

not that i need a laptop, sold my air to get an ipp 9.7 and haven't looked back (I do have an iMac and from late 2013 and it is still a great machine), but they almost had me sold on the idea of the touch bar until they started doing the first demo

 

[Ries]

Does it have HDR? Anything else would suck.

 

[soupcan]

Is the SSD storage fixed / soldered to the logic board ?

It's Apple, they solder everything to the mobo nowadays.

 

[Traverse]

I kind of liked her magical instrument comment.

 

[YegorH]

I really like the fact that she can adjust how hard it is...

 

[0029937]

I thought I would be really excited about the new Touch bar but seeing it being used in real life makes me realize a program called BetterTouchTool for the trackpad is so much more powerful and user friendly than Apple's implementation.

 

[fatalogic]

I still can't believe they didn't include 1 lightning port. They had the space. I really don't get them, kill the 3.5 jack try to push lightning headphones but don't include a lightning port on your computers.

 

[scottish]

This event is such a letdown. It's all about this stupid touch bar no one cares about. What a nightmare. Microsoft is laughing.

So was Samsung when they watched the iPhone event.

Edit: Or a couple of weeks before it.

 

[camelphace]

I don't know man. This is sort of disappointing for me. I expected better processors and more common ports available. I bet these will be crazy expensive also. I can't see using the touchbar thingy as a huge improvement. I expected better specs... :/

 

[Rossatron]

So they killed the MagSafe. Damn idiots.
