Live Coverage of Apple's October 2014 iPad and Mac Event

[BigInDallas]

This is literally the biggest moment of my entire life.

I can't wait!!!

Not much of a life, if this is the pinnacle of it. Its a computer. Not a cure for cancer

How am I being a sheep? Dell's 27 inch 5k costs more than Apple's iMac. It's incredible.

of course 5k cost a lot. 5K is expensive i know that.but..for iMac product? that thing isn't going to last compared to nMP. an don't start comparison debate with me.

another thing...Don't tell people to cry elsewhere...mind your own business.

 

[Banquo]

Mostly fluff. Reckon much stuff incoming but not ready to ship yet. Reckon we'll see another keynote before the year is out.

 

[Starflyer]

Live stream keeps dying whenever it gets interesting. Great job again, Apple! I used to be able to watch two hour keynote live streams without any problems.

My stream never stuttered. Looked great for the entire keynote.

 

[HenryDJP]

Nothing about Apple Pay yet?

Did you actually watch the whole keynote? It was mentioned in the beginning.

 

[Nozuka]

oh my god. apple website says the ipad mini 3 still has a7 chip, wtf?!

 

[jlake02]

Definitely ordering 64GB Air 2. NOT staying up until midnight to do it though lol

 

[formerapplefan]

How much RAM are in the iPad Air 2 and Mini 3?

Mini 3 will be 1GB for sure, they only added touch Id and maybe upgraded camera?

for iPad Air 3 we have to wait until teardown, I am still hoping A8X with 3 billion transistors has 2GB.

I'd rather see a new TB Display than the new iMac 5K. Why would you buy such a great display integrated with a computer that will age out faster than the display will.

Still hoping there's a silent update to the TB display and that it can be combined with a new mini!

 

[gugy]

I want a TB display at 5K to use with my MacPro. Why not Apple?
Makes no sense.

I am pretty sure the nMP can handle it.

I don't know what drugs Apple is on, but 27" 4K displays are more like $500-600 right now, not $2,500.

i was surprised actually by how aggressive apple priced their retinal imac. A 4k display on the same quality as apple cost around $1000 min, add on the computer hardware which is another $600-800 as it comes with fusion drive included, then if you consider the software all comes for free. It really isnt that much more expensive than buying a crappy looking pc loaded with windows and a 4k display. Not to mention the much higher end look/feel and all in one integration the imac has.

Not bad value.

I was hoping for a Retina MacBook Air...

Me too I've been waiting since 2011. Oh well. Saves me $. Maybe next year.

 

[Cool Pup]

Mini 3 is still using the A7

They could have at least put the A8 in it.

The Mini 3 is the current rMini with Touch ID.

That's pretty ridiculous.

I was looking to upgrade merely because I want to give my Retina Mini to my mother, but paying for a Mini 3 seems like a complete waste of time unless more details come out.

My stream never stuttered. Looked great for the entire keynote.

Yep ... perfect here too and my internet has been sucking lately.

 

[HenryDJP]

i'm really sick of them hyping up everything. Tim makes it creepy saying we want to hold it close to us. chill bro

You're getting worked up over a company trying to sell it's product. LOL, I think you should take your own advice.

 

[Steve121178]

So when can we upgrade to Yosemite and IOS 8.1 ?

Today for Yosemite & Monday for 8.1.

 

[Alenore]

Although true, I think they were comparing to comparable quality... $600 doesn't get you the best 4K monitor.

The ~$3000 number is still high though.

And we have no idea of their screen quality.

 

[576316]

I'll update to the Yosemite release build tomorrow and I'll do a fresh install I think, having been running the betas for a while.

Just to ask: I heard that if you do a fresh install, it's pointless restoring from Time Machine because that brings back every single file from your old OS. Is that true?

"iPad mini 3 is powered by an A7 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture"

I watched the hoping to update my iPad mini 1st gen, but really? No A8 (or X) love for the mini? [/sigh] Last year's iPad event gave me hope that the iPad mini would stay on par with the iPad Air from then onward. Well, I guess it's still a big leap from my 1st gen, but was hoping for more.

 

[Tony78228]

the iPad air 2 has nothing that makes me want to upgrade from the first Air. and I was so hoping for a new macbook air with retina

Makes no sense.

I am pretty sure the nMP can handle it.

I feel sorry for Mac Pro users. I myself was really expecting a new Thunderbolt display!

 

[Maxime]

Stupid question... if they drop the price of the Ipad mini 2 (retina) by $100.

touchID basically costs $100! Doesn't it? Since there isn't any other update to the device.

Confirmed.. Ipad Mini 3 still has a7 cpu...

Utter brilliance.

No big deal, the A7 chip is excellent.

for iPad Air 3 we have to wait until teardown, I am still hoping A8X with 3 billion transistors has 2GB.

If it's 1 GB for the Air 3, that gives me confidence that the Mini can receive Dual Window support. The Mini 3 is not even worth it for me since I wouldn't upgrade on a good iPad without a need. My Mini 2 is great and works well.
