yikes, a fully loaded mini is 5200$ CDN

"Note: Mac mini storage is not user accessible." Someone show Tim an M.2 drive.

 

[rhett7660]

I'm not going to complain about the USD799, even though it'll be GBP799 in the UK.

Nice little machine. Fingers crossed the RAM is user upgradeable…

The mentioned the ram was upgradeable...

 

[oldmacs]

Love Lana and her multicoloured plastic MacBook

Hhahhaha Venice Bitch

 

[midouglas]

The S isn't the base model. It's the mid tier that bought microsoft some time to release the X.

Same specs as the OG, different form factor. Right?

 

[dazzer21-2]

Wow. £4200 for a fully spec'd Mini! Are we going to see a £20k mac Pro when it finally drops?!

 

[wallysb01]

So don't buy the base model if it doesn't meet your needs? Bump to 512GB internal, and use external for additional storage.

LOL, right. Don't like $800 gimped base model, spend $300-$500 dollars to upgrade it! Apple loves you.

Sorry if it's already been asked and answered...is the new MacBook Air using the new-style crappy keyboard, or the older-style superior keyboard?

It wouldn't make sense from a manufacturing process to not use the new one, I would think

 

[NMBob]

If only iOS had iOS Finder... File handling is just so convoluted.

 

[deckard666]

no iMac, no Mac Pro, no iPad mini

You sound like they were promised ?

New crappy :'(

 

[KPOM]

thats it? Is it over?

Yes. The store is back up. I’m surprised they didn’t spec bump the 12” MacBook to the 8th generation, but maybe they are just skipping it because it is just a clock speed increase.

 

[rmoliv]

She cant say the name of the songs because they contain swearing? Really? Ridiculous

 

[RickInHouston]

"Faster than the 92 percent of portable PCs".

Well, maybe, but those 92 percent of portable PCs still have headphone jack.

#burn

But you can still do much more on a portable PC.

 

[hipnetic]

No updated iPad Mini w/Pencil support? Lame.

Not shocked at all, though. They never create the things I hope that they would anymore.

 

[Shanghaichica]

So... iPad Pro 11" 256 GB + Pencil = £1,038

Wow. That got out of hand quickly lol

And I paid the same for the 256GB 10.5 with Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard and Apple care plus.

 

[Denmac1]

Nice to see the Mac Mini update, but several of the presenters (including Angela) were quite drab and boring.

Not that I would buy or could afford one......fail on no Mac Pro or iMac updates. Too much time spent on iPads

Edit: Just looked at the store....$4200 for a fully loaded Mini....Insanity!!!!

 

[KPandian1]

I'm pretty sure they understand this much more than you and others who make ridiculous comments like this.

Nothing ridiculous about this comment - I like the chunky version. Plus in the name of thinness they've removed the audio jack - other reasons too.

 

[Shanghaichica]

UK prices
£769 and £969 for the base models of th new iPad pros.

And £119 for the new pencil

Does the new pencil work with older pros.

 

[wallysb01]

Education discount gets you $20 off the base mac mini....

 

[producer26]

So not even a word on Mac Pro??? Thanx Apple. I'm moving on to Hackintosh for this year.It's the last chance I'll give you. If nothing happens in 2019 (and that's how it seems to be), than F@*K U APPLE I'm moving to Linux or WindowZ or Doors or whatever OS gives me the opportunity to have a REAL pro machine.
Big thanks to Tim and the rest of the team

 

[4jasontv]

Same specs as the OG, different form factor. Right?

No. Improved GPU and CPU to handle 4k upscale and HDR.

 

[WinterWolf90]

new case for the iPad looks just as bad as the sleeve they made before

 

[oldmacs]

If only iOS had iOS Finder... File handling is just so convoluted.

Aint that the truth!!

Every time I go to find a file I have to download it. Wish there was an option to download whole folders. Or all files.

 

[Nismo73]

This new Mac Pro is pretty.

 

[GregJohn]

Honest question, not trolling -- tariffs?

unlikely, just the usual price increase plus the exchange rate.

I was pretty shocked that the 1tb iPad 12.9 with cellular is $2399.00 + $169.00 for pencil + 11% tax so close to 3 grand lol
