So far what this event tells me is the new iPad Pros will definitely be more expensive than the current models.
Got a tip for us?

Apple ALMOST nailed the Mac Mini. They should have offered one with dual flash SSDs like the iMac Pro and a maybe a SATA bus for large 2nd SATA SSD. An i9 would have been nice.
However, 64GBs RAM, 2TB flash, 6-Core i7 and the T2, (love that!), if it’s not $2500 for the high end model I’ll buy a pair. And please, no more soldering parts Apple please. I’m still using modified 2009 Mac Pros for a reason.
We’ll see.

All of our retail locations are made of 100% recycled aluminum.
Because the audience is full of Apple retail employees.
MacBook Air 2018 - Looks amazing... too expensive. 128GB SSD model for $1199. Hopefully they'll keep selling the older MacBook Air.
Mac Mini 2018 - Looks to be a solid upgrade except that 128GB is almost too small for a phone let alone a computer.
And since I'm being all negative here... It's obvious Angela has no idea what she's talking about.

Yep - the only place in the world they could get applause for that is New York, where the bohemian types don't eat for six days a week just to have a glowing Apple on their desk. That's why they are in the jungle today; they know their audience.
I like the 64GB option on the RAM, if only the SSD was larger. Oh well. We'll make due!
Dammit, I forgot it wasn't at 12 noon CST. I was watching a documentary on dogs instead and I was like...how are they announcing stuff without they keynote? Nevermind....
They used to list ALL the price of the device in the same slide. They stop doing that for a reason! A fully loaded will probably hit the 3000$ mark
I don't see these sort of computers as good value proposition for an always on server. These are decent machines, but an always on machine serving ontent has other things that need consideration.
if you're looking to build a plex server, I would massively recommend not using an Apple comptuer (unless you've got an old one laying around). Heck, I wouldn't even recommend windows.
A custom built "server" to spec is the best bet. I'm more than happy to help give advice on building out a purpose built server (as I do it for a living)
Want to bet? I've shelled out more money for inferior specs on various Macs for 10 years now. I'll keep my iPhone and Apple TV around, but I'm not going to keep paying more for less like this.
I'm not so sure the new Mini will kill the value of the 2012. It will depend on how upgradeable it is. If the SSDs and RAM are soldered, the new Mini's reception could be quite cool.
*headbang* If Apple had this pricing 10 years ago I’d never have gotten into the ecosystem in the first place. Ugh.
