Disappointing event, though most of us knew this before hand so it wasn't much of a surprise.
Greg's 'jokes' went down like a lead ballon. He was the only one laughing at his own jokes.
EDIT : Greg not Phil

THATS IT????? Worst keynote ever!!!
Lets be real for a second, there was actually nothing new at all, except the new apple watch band!
Before I get some comments "but what about the new iphone and ipad"... Yeah lets break it down:
- iPhone SE: Its an iphone 6s (minus 3d touch) in a 5s body... yeah, that must have taken them years of innovating
- iPad Pro: Its the larger ipad pro (plus flash & new ambient light sensor) inside an ipad air 2 body
Other then that there was nothing else, just rehashing the new iOS and tvOS features (which are not really new) and half an hour of politics at the start
If I would be an apple shareholder, I would be really concerned which direction apple is going, especially in light of the recent product presentations of the competition

Why even have an event like this?. It was almost like they did it Cuz they had to let people know they still had a pulse or somethin
Let us loop you in? Felt like let us string you along.
you lost bro?
what nonsense. ios devices are appliance computing devices. you no more upgrade them than you do your tv or reciever, duh.
"Future of personal computing"... except that it doesn't run any of the desktop software that I actually use... daily. So, not so much... Though I do wonder what they have in mind for people who need more than a tiny little screen (and yes, even the 12" iPad Pro is tiny). I mean, I don't mind the idea of a tablet-based workflow for my work (music composition and software development). I just need it to run the software I use, and I need to be able to see what I'm doing.
I was really hoping for Skylake Macbook Pros, though... I guess I'll have to wait till WWDC. Lame. Apple developers are pretty much all running Macbook Pros, from what I've seen (probably a lot of iMacs, too, I guess), so they're going to have to update them at some point.

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.
It takes a long time to write those jokes! About a year, in fact.
I just noticed the 128GB Air 2 is off the website. If Apple is discontinued them, now is the time to buy for those not going pro.
Personally, I'm torn. With all the sales going on, a full size pro can be had for $50 more...right now.

Oh boy, they managed to underwhelm my low expectations. Most dullest Apple event in memories. Wonder if they keep all the good stuff for the inaugural event at the new building ("Spaceship").
Why are you all disappointed? Aside from Mac's being updated what else were you expecting in March?
