Those airtags are so small I’m afraid I’ll lose them.

 

[dogslobber]

600 bucks for a pair of headphones? I can pick up a similar pair off Amazon for 30 bucks.

I haven't heard any supply chain info about the new laptop online...but if they're going to ship in Dec the production lines should be starting soon.

The original Apple TV was in 2007. The 2nd Gen was 2010. The 3rd Gen was 2012. The 3rd Gen Revision A was 2013. The 4th Gen was 2015 and the 5th Gen was 2017. Sure looks like a new Apple TV every 2 - 3 years.

I think you missed the point.

As I said before, the only time Apple has had less than a 36 month upgrade for the ATV was when the current generation was missing a huge feature, such as 1080p for the ATV2 and 4K for the ATV4.

The ATV4K isn't missing any "must have" capability, and with the ATV4K having the A10X it is plenty powerful.

Sure looks like a new Apple TV every 2 - 3 years.

The longest time between updates was almost four years. I already explained the reason for the short period updates.

So getting back to the quote that was in my post:

we're long overdue for an update.

This is the update cycle:
ATV1 Jan 2007
ATV2 Oct 2010 - 46 Months, but no 1080p
ATV3 Mar 2012 - 17 Months
ATV4 Oct 2015 - 42 Months, but no 4K
ATV5 Sept 2017 - 23 Months
ATV6 ????????? - 36 Months in so far......

How are we "long overdue" for an ATV update?

I read the description for Airtags and I'm still confused what they do. Are they basically an added sensor to the phone to help find it? They look like saucers for beverages on the coffee table.

That's their primary function. Punches wrinkles out of delicates in the dryer.

 

[Juicy Box]

Ahem. Dolby Vision?

Not sure what you mean. That I didn't include it?

I just lumped it in with the 4K upgrade of the ATV4K.

I'm collecting Intel macs in advance of the transition. Happy to lug along with all the familiar and enjoyable software I've collected over the years. You fanboys can have fun with you're 'future' stuff. For me, the macs I already have do all I ever need, as fast as I need, and as a bonus they're compatible with all my old stupid software AND upgradeable!

Enjoy the 'future' boys. If you ever want to chill in the past, I'm your gal

Music software I have requires me not go past Catalina so I’m in the same boat. Future stuff is cool, but I’ll stay with what I’ve got for a good while. Maybe a laptop eventually, but not as the main one that I require.

I’m waiting for the Apple AirCar.

Same here! But I’d prefer an Apple Car Pro Max with a non user replaceable car battery

 

[Hyperchaotic]

Waiting for iPad Pro and MacBook with OLED screen.

Yeah I'm also awaiting a new iPad Pro 11. Might have to wait till next year

 

[Hyperchaotic]

Buy a Tile and glue them together!

What's the betting those AirTags have a MagSafe magnet in them so you can easily attach to the new iPhones!

Aren't iPhones already an AirTag?

How are we "long overdue" for an ATV update?

(46 + 17 + 42 + 23) / 4 = 32 months average. Since we’re almost 37 months since the last update, I’d say we’re 5 months overdue.
Although one could argue, that the variance is quite large and that we are still within a reasonable timeframe for not being long overdue. However, the anticipation of needing to spend my money outweighs any statistical analysis. Just give me an ATV6!

Pretty low. iPhones can already track themselves.

PLUS, the iPhone would NOT be thin anymore thus violating Apple's # 1 rule.

 

[KrispE00]

People just aren't moving around as much anymore due to the coronavirus, and as such, aren't losing things or needing to track items as often as before.

I disprove this every day with my keys, wallet & glasses 🤦‍♂️

I didn't say it was overdue

 

[q64ceo]

Would love to see a Mac release that has a higher video refresh rate. 90hz would be great. 120hz would be better. 240hz would be awesome.

 

[DamoTheBrave]

It would make a lot of sense to release these just before Christmas. They make an obvious gift and there seems to be pent up demand. Releasing post Christmas would miss out on a whole heap of seasonal sales.

Good idea, then I can track it!

... Regardless of which Mac comes first, Apple is transitioning its entire Mac lineup to Apple Silicon chips, a process that's expected to take a year. By the end of 2021, Apple may be well on its way to sunsetting all Macs with Intel chips. ...

Citation please. during the WWDC keynote, Apple said the transition would take *TWO* years. Please don't give people inappropriate expectations.

 

[arvinsim]

Only interested in the ARM Macs.

MacOS in iPad form factor and battery life is all I am asking!

Hope it is not priced higher than current Macs.

 

[4jasontv]

600 bucks for a pair of headphones? I can pick up a similar pair off Amazon for 30 bucks.

I think it's great when people claim that two things are basically the same and then not give any details about what they are comparing so that if they are wrong they can always claim they were talking about something else or something subjective.

 

[wood1208]

Most important in November announcement is Apple Silicon Macs.

Do you realize you are going to get a iOS in MacBook form factor?

 

[madoka]

I thought that picture said Now 17 with a MacBook next to it, so I got all excited they were finally releasing a 17 inch MacBook. 😭
