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

[nevesis]

Dude shut up with your billion, trillion stats. They are worthless.

"The new iPad is made up of Trillions of stuff!"

Is there an issue with stating the facts?

 

[I7guy]

Usb-c, wow. And charging out.

 

[Rogifan]

iPad Pros now USB-C. Can use an iPad to charge your iPhone.

 

[Val-kyrie]

This is just the precursor for the upcoming switch to ARM! Apple is planting the seeds, even without substantiating their claims. A12X is faster than i7. I want to see the tests in which Apple's A12X outperforms the i7!

 

[DrJohnnyN]

Another perfectly priced device.

 

[Howard2k]

Wait, did he just say iPad Pro has the same graphics capability as an Xbox One X??

Certainly did.

 

[wallysb01]

Would have been spinner and a 2-core, probably. $799 sounds fair to me considering the upgrades.

2-core? In the world of 4 core i3s? Nah. They wouldn't drop to the Pentium stuff. Lets be honest though, 128GB storage, 8 GB of Ram and an i3 for $800 is a steep price. For all but very, very light use a 128GB boot drive is not really enough anymore, plus the cost of the actual space (as opposed to the connections) is trivial these days. Apple is seriously skimping here. Similarly, 8GB of RAM fills up very fast. DDR4 prices aren't low though, so that's less of a skimp and I suspect more folks are OK at 8GB of RAM than are OK at 128GB of storage on a boot drive. I'm guessing 256/16 is going to be 1100-1200. That's a lot for just a minimally functional headless machine.

It's worthless stats that mean nothing.

 

[KPandian1]

Now, a proper Airport with everything today's connectivity offers, and massive storage.

 

[Nozuka]

Did they just compare the Pro the Xbox One X graphics power wise??? Yeah ok. It can't run Read Dead Redemption 2.

i thought he said xbox one S

 

[donster28]

Guys! What's in that box st the right side of the stage?...ONE MORE THING!

 

[pete2106]

ok then, Wireless magnetic pencil is pretty cool

 

[DrJohnnyN]

Charging out. Nice.

 

[Howard2k]

Charging outwards - very cool.

 

[L-Viz]

Good, but I don't need a stylus.

 

[jetjaguar]

Much better pencil system but will be pain for a good case.

USB C. Damn. I might just upgrade my 2017 iPad.

 

[Rogifan]

Apple Pencil attaches magnetically and automatically pairs and starts charging. But new keyboard doesn’t have a trackpad.

No they didn't. The Xbox One S. The base-line console.
