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

[szw-mapple fan]

It's 5x faster than a 6 year old product? Amazing...

Technically a 4 year old product. Still old to be sure, but it's nowhere near that old.

 

[FromJamRock]

Anyone else notice how the clapping volume dipped when the announced FaceID for the iPad Pro.

Heads up, just ordered the baseline 11" iPad Pro model for $749 by going through the education section. Didn't ask for me for any details related to being a student or teacher.

And $50 off the 12.9 inch. Guess I should be grateful for small favors . . . . I'll apply that to my wine budget.

 

[ChrisChaval]

In euro, the mba base model is almost as expensive as the base mb pro ..

 

[cipher29]

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

Sure hurts as a Canadian.. That said, I've already ordered the 512 + cellular with the new pencil .. My 1st gen 12" iPad Pro is hands down the best piece of technology I've bought in the last 10 years.

 

[iLLUMI]

Fantastically presented event. Full of energy. But where was the iPad Mini Pro? And the Airpods 2 in black?

 

[Rogifan]

So the existing Air hangs around at $999. Unbelievable.

 

[DrJohnnyN]

"Thank you everyone. Forget Airpower ever happened" - Tim

Yep, it will never see the light of day.

 

[dannyyankou]

My original Mac Mini cost £399 with a keyboard and mouse thrown in! Times, they change...

That can't be true. When Steve first announced the Mac mini, he said the acronym BYOKDM

That stands for "Bring your own keyboard, display, and mouse"

 

[ragermac]

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

You can charge it separate using old cable.

Anyone else notice how the clapping volume dipped when the announced FaceID for the iPad Pro.

Nope. Just you.

 

[DrJohnnyN]

Not even a silent update for the iMac

Yet.

 

[ryanwarsaw]

The price of pretending to be a pro DJ just to impress people just went up.

 

[spinedoc77]

ipad Pro is stunning, in particular the 12.9 version. I'm a bit bummed that with the keyboard folio it looks to be thicker than the surface pro, but I'm just guessing from the pics/video. It looks like the folio covering the back of the device makes it twice as thick, my guess is somewhere around 10mm, where there SP6 is around 8mm. I wish Apple would just put a kickstand on the ipad, I'll gladly take the extra 2-3mm and they can even add a tiny bit more battery life that way.

 

[McTaste]

So they deliberately held back faceid working in any orientation, and usb c, from the iphone xs. guess what will be the hot new features next year!

 

[MistrSynistr]

I assume the iMac's will get internal updates.

 

[AppleHaterLover]

That can't be true. When Steve first announced the Mac mini, he said the acronym BYOKDM

That stands for "Bring your own keyboard, display, and mouse"

Maybe he scored one in a sale at Tea Fish and Chips Best Buy or whatever it is they have in the UK

 

[dafodeu]

Agreed! I’m usually fine with apple products being priced a bit higher, the quality is worth it to me. These new iPad pros are the first I’ve been an instant “NO” on, just based on the price. I was hyped to place my order today, then they announced the price and I just closed the browser tab. NOPE.

$999 for a base model 12.9 Ipad is not reasonable at all. That’s with no pencil, and no keyboard, and no LTE.

HOLY CRAP.....just saw that the new keyboard is $200!!! THAT IS INSANE.

They didn't even lower the price of the previous iPad Pros

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Yet.

I'm not expecting a silent-update because 6- and 8-core processors would require different cooling, and that means a re-design. Plus updating the iMac and not the iMac Pro would cut into its sales.

 

[lunarworks]

Everything looks great. Shame I can't afford any of it, but that's more on me.

Also, guys, they've said all along that the new Mac Pro is a 2019 product. Spare the agonized disappointment for now.

 

[Exile714]

If it's so simple, show me how to create a folder local to the iPad...

I don't get what you're asking for. Creating a folder on an iOS device is simple, so are you complaining that you can't make it exclusive for the iPad? If so, what purpose would that serve?

 

[Feenician]

Vega Pro option for the MBPs slipped into the press release

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/10/all-new-macbook-air-takes-flight/

Radeon Pro Vega Graphics Coming to MacBook Pro Next Month

Apple also today announced new MacBook Pro graphics options that will bring powerful Radeon Pro Vega graphics to MacBook Pro for the first time. These new graphics options deliver up to 60 percent faster graphics performance for the most demanding video editing, 3D design and rendering workloads.

 

[imasterus]

Lana del Rey saved the keynote. Gorgeous performance.

 

[rwintheiser]

sorry if this has been posted, but the apple logo that morphed and changed before the event, how can we get this as a screensaver?

 

[macfan90]

This is garbage. Another event and month goes by with out mention of the iMac. So much for 20th anniversary of the iMac and all the “ leaks” from Europe for model number registrations.
