Nooooo, where's Johnny?

Quit in protest at the pricing.

Goodness my perfect iPad would have been the A12 + USB+C + new pencil/charging in the 10.5 enclosure. Imagine the battery life.

 

[Icaras]

Was definitely not expecting Phil's voice to make a video appearance lol

Me neither. What an Apple twist.

 

[deckard666]

999

"Like a computer, but unlike any computer".

What's a computer?

 

[titans1127]

That price likely just pushed me away lol

 

[Dorje Sylas]

So the Macbook Air and MacMini are literately built from the leftover shavings from the iPad. This is so very telling of modern Apple.

 

[oldmacs]

Quit in protest at the pricing.

More like quit in protest of the Mac Mini not being any thinner.

 

[sracer]

no new iPad Mini.

 

[I7guy]

It is expensive. $999.

 

[DrJohnnyN]

$799 ONLY and $999 ONLY.

Nov 7th is gonna be crazy.

Was definitely not expecting Phil's voice to make a video appearance lol

x2.5 times faster too.

"Like a computer, but unlike any computer".

What's a computer?

A device with proper multitasking and a pointer on which actual work can be done.

The 2014 Mac Mini had the same hardware as the 2014 MacBook Air.

The 2018 MacBook Air has a Barbie processor with Barbie performance.

The 2018 Mac Mini now has serious performance from the base model. Plus it comes with an SSD standard.

Apple is simply moving away from basic hardware configs (with price increases to match). It's not simply Apple-inflation (though it plays a part)

The price of the new MBA is outrageous in light of the new Mac Mini. I still won't touch an Apple laptop with their new keyboards. Failures are still occurring. I may just have to go to a Windows laptop and stay with a Mac Mini for the rest of my Mac apps.

 

[BJMRamage]

reminds me of the original iPad sides.

 

[Will0827]

Wow $799 for the 11 seems like an amazing price for the tech you will get.

 

[Rogifan]

11” starts at $799 with 64GB. 12.9” starts at $999 with 64GB. iPad mini 4 hangs around.

 

[BMcCoy]

No new mini iPad

 

[TMRJIJ]

Looks like Jony has mastered the voices of his co-workers

 

[oldmacs]

Yay! Long live the iPad Pro 10.5!!!

 

[barmann]

Christ. That Photoshop demo....powerful.

Bummer noone will use PS on a tablet ...

 

[L-Viz]

too expensive for a toy.

 

[linkgx1]

Meh...the price is way too high.

We don't know the CPU class on the CPU yet. SSD is standard now, in 2014, it wasn't. You have to adjust for modern hardware.

Dang I was off on the 12.9, thought it would start at $979 but it starts at $999. Wonder if the pencil is still $99.
