Twitter Hashflag for March 8 'Peek Performance' Apple Event Goes Live

[AppleTO]

I would hope that by the end of this event, the only Intel product left for sale would be the Mac Pro.

Ah, remembering the BASIC days of PEEK and POKE.

Hahahah! Peek and Poke. Very useful commands, I started using them to hack a Timex Sinclair 1000 with a Voice Synth module to get it to speak Spanish. Also, to hide the source code.

Shouldn't the word be "peak" instead? Peek implies seeing/vision

I meant “taking a peek at (real) performance”

What happened to the word hash tag? Why does every existing thing need to be renamed?

Could it be that the 199USD rumor is they are re-using the iPhone SE (2016) for iPhone SE (2022)? If that is the case I may buy one once it is available in my country...

If that's what's gonna happen, technically there will be no more mini in the iPhone lineup [rumor has it that iPhone 13 mini is the last one] but the iPhone SE which will be the smallest form factor available...

Nice, I hope we see some new hardware!

Nope, no chance. Tim's going to just say hi to everyone to let us all know he's still around. 😂

PEEK is also a command/function used to look at the contents of RAM. So possibly a play on words in numerous ways.

Don't forget good old POKE!

There was blackout yesterday in Taiwan 🤪

Hopefully they don't become more common...

Ah, remembering the BASIC days of PEEK and POKE.

Commodore VIC 20/64 days. Looking back I wish I spent more time trying to figure that stuff out and less time playing Lunar Lander. 🙄

The usage of "Peek" instead of "Peak" has me intrigued.

#AppleEvent is still a hashtag.

Hashflags (hashtags with little custom icons by the side) are just a way for Twitter to make a little extra cash. I can think of worse monetization strategies.

There is still no performance desktop M1 to buy, like M1 Pro/Max in iMac or Mini. Not sure if this is the event but I would think something has to come soon?

Tag is the text after the hash. Flag is the icon after the hash

The AR/VR headset is the new Mac Mini.
