Live Coverage of Apple's March 2015 'Spring Forward' Event

This is no different from 1998. I think it's a good move. Look at a PC notebook and realize that the reason we still use VGA is that notebooks continue to support the old technology.

Yup, it's the way of the future. Few people use every port. Make the devices thinner and lighter and you only get the adapters you need.

Calling it now, Gold watch will be over $3,000

 

[Neepman]

Even Tim doesn't seem to be excited over the watch.

My phone tells time too.

Apple watch pushed back till June

 

[The Doctor11]

When will it stop?

When its thinner then paper.

This. I'm so disappointing with the pricing. But I shouldn't have expected anything different from Apple.

Not sure why anyone was expecting anything less. This is basically like the original MacBook Air. It is slightly ahead of its time and slightly underpowered. However, 3 years from now, we'll all be using devices like this. If I have any disposable money left after buying my Apple Watch, I want one of these.

Don't even kid like that....

I have to moan now. The Macbook air really needs an updated display. "Retina" is not necessary. Just a better resolution and an IPS panel. I would buy one again.

I dunno what did people expect? for it to replace current MacBook Air pricing?

From the rumors I was thinking it was going to replace the air, so in that case the pricing should have matched.

nice i can see email photos on the watch now

I can answer phone calls on the watch? Time to call Zordon and go back to the Command Centre!

 

[ZacNicholson]

that sketch thing is just a gimmick

Strange sense of Deja Vu with the Watch presentation so far...

 

[TechZeke]

Hang on... did they just totally IGNORE the 15" MacBook Pro?!?!?! well I guess that'll be killed of next then.

Blame intel, they had no new processors to update the 15" with. They could have at least given it a GPU and force touch trackpad update though.

Clearly Apple have spent some of their cash on streaming servers - flawless HD stream for the first Apple event to date.

 

[AppleScruff1]

Now he's doing the gimmick digital touch features.

Dick Tracy would be so proud!!!!!

 

[capoeirista]

First thing I thought of regarding USB-C

Still got a draw full of FW 400 enclosures somewhere.

 

[0007776]

I'll be curious if they can actually come up with something to make the watch worthwhile, so far it isn't looking like it.

Pretty sure I heard someone giggle at it in the audience.

 

[DevNull0]

I am going to actually use the keyboard before proclaiming that it's rubbish.

Oh, I'm not calling it rubbish and I'm sure it will be 1000 times better than trying to use an on-screen keyboard. But the older generation keyboard is already to thin to be comfortable for extended typing sessions.

Actually I already use an external keyboard on my MBP when I'm typing a lot. so this change probably won't be as bad as I first thought.

 

[Reason077]

It's a bit "Samsung", yeah

 

[kdarling]

Tim. Tim. Tim.

We've seen all this.

All we care about are the PRICES!

 

[mrgraff]

Pick it up, Tim. Nobody's taking your applause and "wooo" bait.
