Live Coverage of Apple's 'Let Us Loop You In' iPhone SE and 9.7" iPad Pro Event

[frifra]

That was just awesome, amazing, new and lame.

 

[dazzer21-2]

Did I miss what the iPad Pro's battery life was? I had to chortle when they clapped the announcement of the new bands, though! That WAS lame!!

 

[Chupa Chupa]

Next time Tim, please just e-mail me the memo.

He did pretty much. All the product info was here on MR last week.

 

[till213]

Protruding "pro" camera. Ha!

 

[Nismo73]

Is there another event later today

 

[Radon87000]

A disappointing event

 

[matthewscott661]

Which PC user in their right mind will replace their laptop with this? There is nothing wrong with an iPad Pro, my mom has it and loves it. But it's not and never will be a PC replacement. Even if there is a regular PC laptop replacement, Surface Pro is the only thing that counts.

yeah of all the arguable questionable things said today this was the worst. iPads aren't even good mac replacements...they fit an entirely different market and use case. if apple played up the differences in strengths between iPads and macs and how to use them alone and in tandem, THAT could be a PC/surface/whatever killer, but they did the opposite without even bothering to back it up with an argument

Apple feels going down

[biscuitsxluv]

Wow, a bunch of you guys are just complainers. Just be happy they even had an event for you! All you do is criticize, talk trash, and make fun of everything. What a bunch of entitled people. Learn to be grateful.

 

[frifra]

Zzzzz. Ugh. Worst Apple Event ever.

They should have at least let me buy the iPhone SE today.

But only you. I agree. Especially as they always have done this.

 

[gotluck]

what happened to the mini 4? that mini has no touchid

 

[waquzy]

Wait so if it's the last product update in the town hall, and they don't get into the new place in 2017....

IT'S ONLY MARCH APPLE!

I was thinking the same thing, what about their September event and iPhone 7?

 

[dannyyankou]

As boring as advertised.

Not only that Apple increased the base price of a new iPad.

No they didn't. The iPad Air 2 is still $499.

 

[-BigMac-]

Wow. That was not worth getting up at 5am for. inb4 threads: "Worst Keynote Ever?"

 

[gugy]

Lame keynote. No Mac.
Apple is really making keynotes an ordinary thing. They could have updated everything today quietly.

 

[Enygmatic]

SB milanese loop and a 256GB iPad Pro (9.7")...

That'll just about do it for me this Spring.

iPhone 7 (Pro?) possibly later, if it's worth it.

[a.roden]

Wow, I don't think I have ever been so disappointed in an Apple event - Congratulations Apple you've held an event and released nothing that I even remotely want! I thought I'd never be an Apple sceptic too.

 

[PoppaKap]

Apple should've just skipped the event and updated the website with these products. WTH.

Well the iPad page won't load correctly, but this is what is says about LTE

[AndyUnderscoreR]

Dull... and not very reassuring for people who want a proper laptop, are Apple giving up on proper computers?

 

[Coarseman]

Quite happy myself.
The iPad I have been waiting for-small Pro with 256 gigs, that baby just cannot be shipped soon enough to me.

The baby iPhone will sell like hot cakes as well, no doubts.
