Maybe PC users keep their computers longer because they can UPGRADE them instead of chucking them into the recycle pile like so many Apple products.

But now you can send your 4 year old mac book pro back to Apple and they'll take care of it, while you pay them full upgrade price.

feeling so cynical right now...

 

[Grolubao]

So resolution is the same?

 

[jonnysods]

iPad as PC replacement? How about you give us a Mac that is at least somewhat competitive with modern PC hardware? Looks like again no news on the Mac side today.

It won't come for a few more months until WWDC I reckon. Which is going to kill me, because I've been waiting for the new rMBP. I'm all iOS'd out.

 

[SgtPepper12]

So I guess the big topic of this keynote is recycling. Pretty boring stuff.

Supports Pro accessories: smart keyboard that supports 9.7 display and pencil

 

[Enygmatic]

Does the se have 3D Touch? Anyone.

no

 

[loekf]

"you never want to go back to old technology again..." - seed planted.

Guess that keyboard is also unavailable for the coming 2-3 months ?

 

[myrtlebee]

Will iPhone 5S cases fit iPhone SE and vice versa? I know the leaked cases didn't, but looking at the presentation there aren't any visible differences between the two unless I'm missing something.

 

[Apple1234567890]

Command TAB ... Wow

 

[ioioos]

PC replacement? One simple question Tim. Can I play my desktop software on it then?

They must really be scared of the Surface then.

 

[frifra]

We even designed a keyboard for the ipad pro - Very Nice.
The pencil again, is this a deja-vu?

 

[fel10]

Apple thinks the pencil is the best accessory they ever made? WOW, really?

 

[Blujelly]

Does the se have 3D Touch? Anyone.

Im going to say no, i didn't hear them say nor did i see anything on the detail screen at the end when they showed it

 

[147798]

contrarily, my 7 year old completely stock base model macbook runs more reliably than my father's brand new windows 10 laptop that cost $600

I still think Macs are better than PCs, but it feels like it could be so much better...

 

[amirite]

Is it just me or is he talking a little strangely?

 

[Vesuvio Cat]

Well, this is embarrassing. This is by far the most unexciting Keynote in the history of Apple.

 

[canucksfan88]

Well, according to him you are a sad person that you can't afford a new computer every year. We are all sad people.

Yea.. =( maybe i should replace my 6 year old macbook pro and get this iPad Pro.

I'm sure that would make me happy haha

 

[ssgbryan]

Has a Pro Audio system with four speakers, puts out twice the audio volume of iPad Air 2, has A9X chip

And with the speakers only 8 or so inches apart, the stereo soundstage will be awesome (within that 8" of course)

 

[You are the One]

I'm getting one of those as well. This looks good so far. A new iPhone and an iPad.

 

[frifra]

I WANT THE PRICE DAMMIT.

 

[147798]

5 mins. Left. I guess this is everything...

 

[RightMACatU]

Where's the 16GB bombshell?

 

[Chupa Chupa]

So I guess the big topic of this keynote is recycling. Pretty boring stuff.

Yes that is the general theme from start to end.

 

[jdillings]

Other accessories: USB camera adapter, SD card reader

 

[aberrero]

USB Support!

 

[hyperduc]

how come that nightshift is a breakthrough feature?

Well, considering they stole it from F.Lux and then ousted them, it's "breakthrough" from Apple.
