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

[brnmilk]

$800 for an i3 in the base Mac Mini... I just threw up a little in my mouth. That's insulting. (just looked that Apple Store page now that its back up)

i3 of 8th gen is 4 cores better than i5 from 7th

imagine how better is from i5 4th gen that was mac mini before

 

[D.T.]

Love me some LDR

No, it's not.

I guess that's supposed to be an attempt at being derogatory - but for long time professionals in the tech space like myself who have used it as a tool in various sectors like clinical management and criminal investigation - it just make me chuckle at the failed attempt.

 

[freezelighter]

iPad Mini 5?

New iMac?

 

[triangletechie]

I don't see any XR Apple branded cases. I thought maybe they'd add some during the store refresh.

 

[Icaras]

She crushed it.

....but where’s the iMac?

 

[toptekjon]

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

Have you tried the Files app? It’s extremely simple to use.

 

[Phil A.]

Does the new pencil work with older pros.

Probably not as there would be no way to charge it...

 

[actraiser]

Does anyone know if the new Mac mini finally supports HD-Audio-Formats via HDMI like DTS-HD? The predecessor does not.

Greets
-act

She crushed it.

....but where’s the iMac?

8-core, re-designed FaceID iMac coming next year

 

[Jacoblee23]

Ugh. I really didn’t want to upgrade. I’m still paying off my 10.5 and 12.9 Verizon iPads every month. This update is really great though.

 

[macduke]

Ordered:

• 12.9" iPad Pro 256GB + Cellular
• Smart Folio - Charcoal
• Apple Pencil 2nd Gen
• USB-C to SD Card Reader

Holy crap that was expensive.

 

[oldmacs]

Lana almost made me forget how disappointing this event was...

 

[psac]

No new iPad Mini? Booooo.

 

[4jasontv]

Probably not as there would be no way to charge it...

Can't you use that fancy charging mat they showed off last year... ooooh.... sorry. No, I guess not.

 

[RedCloud2017]

Definitely from what I've seen today, I can definitely see Apple pricing the future OLED iPad starting at $1000...

 

[Seramir]

The only thing that makes sense is that they're re-designing the iMac and hit a snag.

Hoping they will at least give it a quiet refresh this year and update it to 6 or 8 core processors. That's all I'm really looking forward to for replacing my 2013 27" iMac.

If not, I may have to go completely PC. That i9-9900K is looking pretty delicious, and it's not going to be on any Mac anytime soon!

 

[harriska2]

Macmini will do 4096x2160 4k with thunderbolt3

 

[wyarp]

Erm.... iMac?!!!! ((

 

[rmoliv]

No Mac Pro preview
No iMac refresh
No AirPods 2
No AirPower
MacBook Air didnt drop the Air

All false rumors

 

[pauljbax]

I like the early start...should have all events in NY.

 

[magicschoolbus]

Does the new smart keyboard work with the 2017 iPad?

 

[Tozovac]

Love Lana and her multicoloured plastic MacBook

Hhahhaha Venice Bitch

Live music segments at these events are like Intel Inside stickers on PC's....

 

[DrJohnnyN]

No in-store pick up available.

The problem is that they don't want it to outshine the iMac Pro. So they'd have to update that too. And they're probably not ready for that yet.

No.

The new Apple Pencil page on the website makes it clear.
Old pencil for last years models.
New pencil for these new models.
