Live Coverage of Apple's October 2018 iPad and Mac Event

[mcfly88]

I'm not saying right now.. but price is eventually going to kill them. Competitors are coming out with nicer and nicer products for far less. No justification for these price hikes... money hungry.

No iMac? Strange. Maybe that'll be a "one more thing" with a 120 Hz or 8K display, redesign or other large improvement.

The one more thing should be the Mac Pro

 

[CWallace]

Pretty sure that the RAM is not going to be USER upgradeable.

It's visible from under the removable "foot" so it should be.

No iMac? Strange. Maybe that'll be a "one more thing" with a 120 Hz or 8K display, redesign or other large improvement.

The new display is in 2019 with the new Mac Pro.

 

[FFR]

And yet 2TB max on the Mini? They ALMOST had a great machine if they'd allowed 4TB or more.

Hahaha. Your funny.

 

[Neryus]

Were those the new iPads on that picture with people drawing the sketches in Milan?

 

[retta283]

I doubt the iMac will get a real design refresh, the design has been the same since 2004

 

[snow755]

guys there not done yet they are talking about apple store

 

[triangletechie]

If the Air at 128 gb is $1199 I guess the 256 gb option is going to be $1399. ugh.

 

[oldmacs]

It has SO-DIMMs, should be as easy to replace as with the previous model.

The previous model had soldered RAM didn't it?

 

[kazmac]

Mac Mini nice update (save for the gimp on RAM / storage for the $799 base model) need more info on the graphics though.

Still 6 cores and 64 RAM is pretty great.

Curious what the iMacs will bring because it is btw these for my upgrade.

 

[Dorje Sylas]

MacMini!

All that matters is they actually did something. Price is secondary.

No, price is still important. I want to see the full spec sheet breakdown and repairability. There's a lot of things that could make that price be on the "too much" side. However depending on the CPU there may not much that could have been done about the price.

 

[AppleHaterLover]

Only 60% better graphics in 4 years? What kind of anaemic Mores law nonsense is that? Oh, and of course the base model now miraculously costs $300 more than the previous $499 base model. These deltas keep getting WORSE every update.

The old Mac Mini was a MBA in disguise. This one has proper desktop processors. It's a different machine.

 

[L-Viz]

Big question is, will the SSD be upgradable?

 

[anthorumor]

Mac mini built for pros but with 128gb ssd and i3? Please. And only integrated graphics? They should check out what Zotec have in the mini PC space. But the ports are generous this time round.
I would have thought the MacBook Air features an esim, but I guess everyone has an iPhone for tethering.
So good to see the updates, but like the parts they’re made of, the ideas seem 100% recycled material.

 

[Val-kyrie]

Dual TB3/USB-C ports. Does anyone here even watch the actual Keynote?

At least Apple included TWO TB3 ports. Hopefully they are both full speed (i.e. 40gbps), so you can get the most use out of eGPUs.

 

[CWallace]

I wonder what the Mini GPU options look like? D or just I?

Integrated only, otherwise they would have noted it. But with TB3 you can use eGPUs.

 

[ipponrg]

Depends what you use i for. My previous gen mac mini has been running for a few years now with a 128GB SSD.

It's just used as a server running a few services and plex, it's always on and headless.

Yeah that's what I wanted to do with this one. Run a few headless services + plex. Not sure if I can rationalize the $800.

 

[noobinator]

Why is she still talking??

 

[LordVic]

It's visible from under the removable "foot" so it should be.

saw that the RAM will be SODIMMs (so assuming mobile CPU in the 28w realm)

Do we know if the storage is going to be user serviceable?

 

[citysnaps]

So.. a 6 core in the Mini and not in the iMac? And how much is that going to cost?!

iMac updates haven't been announced yet.

 

[Dorje Sylas]

The previous model had soldered RAM didn't it?

Soldered RAM and a plate blocking access to the HDD without full disassembly.

 

[Hustler1337]

Why is the audience so excited about Today at Apple? That got more cheers than the Mac Mini and the MacBook Air.

 

[Kobayagi]

We're balls deep in filler now...

Hahahaha XD Exactly my thoughts.

 

[xalea]

Why is she still talking??

No idea. I'm pretty sure that's a Burberry coat.....
