Live Coverage of Apple's October 2013 iPad and Mac Event [Event Ended]

I so called the $399/$299 prices for the iPad Minis! Nobody believed me.

 

[applesith]

Yaaaaasss retina mini you are so beautiful, yaaaaassss!

 

[Renzatic]

The *weight* is killer. I thought they'd shoot for 1.2, maybe stretch to get 1.1lbs.

< 500g is pretty damn impressive.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about getting one just for this feature alone.

$349 or $399? for new retina mini?

 

[DowdyFick]

399 yikes

 

[Epiphron]

LOL what is the point of ipad 2 at 399 when you have ipad mini retina? ahahah

 

[D.T.]

Retina on the mini! Woo hoo!!

A7 + Retina for $399 is an immediate purchase for me (well, a 32GB model).

 

[dannyyankou]

They increased the price? ********

 

[koulmj]

Woot! Now people can stop posting about a mini-retina

 

[bunnicula]

Hold up. No. They didn't... 400 bucks for a retina mini? Damn...

 

[Rogifan]

Nice keeping the non retina at $299. Pretty much expected.

Looks like $399 is the price!

 

[fel10]

Definitely getting the new iPad, and might upgrade my MBP as well.

 

[Nevaborn]

ipad mini has everything the new ipad Air does....

so its only size...

this seems like a big misstep. The air should of stepped it up. I really wanted one and a keyboard case with precision pen.

ITS NOT A NEW COVER

 

[neuropsychguy]

Hmm, Mini or Air? I'll be using it for presentations so that extra 2" might be necessary.

 

[Rogifan]

No Smart Cover keyboard. So much for these last minute hyped rumors.

I know. That's the SAME COVER.

 

[Faux Carnival]

iPad Mini with "Retina": $399
Nexus 7 with no "Retina": $229

 

[WoodNUFC]

This iPad announcement has been a head scratcher.

 

[reden]

No new Apple Display with USB 3.0? Common, are you kidding me? I can't believe that thing is still priced at $999.

 

[PaulOBrain]

Really wanted a new iPad but that mini with the same performance as its full sized makes it incredibly tempting.

 

[mytakeontech]

Audience seems underwhelmed.

When was the last time they were not....

Exactly, makes no sense! (no sense for a consumer, makes lots of sense for Apple=$$)

 

[D.T.]

I thought so too (posted it at 12:30p ), though I went a little crazier and suggested a line of $299 Mini (based on old tech) with a Poly-C casing in colors.

 

[Marrakas]

That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about getting one just for this feature alone.

Yeah it's impressive, but I'm waiting for tests on the batterylife, even though they state 10hours, I wanna see it in action first to make sure it's as awesome as the last generations.
