WWDC 2022 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: iOS 16, macOS 13, MacBook Air, and More

RIP Macbook Air!



Stage Manager - ROFL , that's like a redesigned Program Manager from Windows 3.11
And even the Program Manager had more features.

I was holding my breath for some kind of "MDI" hack (Multiple Document Interface - for the youngsters out there). We can all breath easily now. Stage Manager actually looks useful.
Edit: I actually just gave Apple a complement! Yeah I know, it's been a long time.

Wow, the new 10-GPU MBA is really expensive. When adding some specs like 16GB RAM ,you are getting close to the 14" M1 Pro MBP.

The M1 MBA is way cheaper for the same RAM and SSD configuration.

Yep. The 14 is now the better buy. I’m hoping for some M1 MBA sales also.

No 4 TB iPad ?

View attachment 2014426When did they start doing white cables? My studio display has this horrible black cable...although to be fair you can't see it.

I'm pretty sure that "Mail is Significantly Updated" square is going to be unused.

Depends on your definition of "significantly updated" is but I marked this on my board since they did spend some time talking about updates to mail (which seems significant enough for me).

I'm now preparing to ignore everyone (well, ok, just @Pearsey), find a beta profile site and install the first iOS 16 beta as soon as it's available on my main phone. Ditto MacOS on my only laptop.

Relax, I'll take backups

in the site for me it only shows 512gb 1tb and 2tb options

Check it again.

Yeah I really don't quite understand what's great about stage manager, well at least in the last 20-30 years. Most of it seems like a way to make up for the lack of a taskbar. I'm trying to think why I would want to give up screen real estate like he shows it, versus just having my programs outlined in a small, unobtrusive taskbar with peek capabilities... Hmm, now where have I seen that before?

But anywhooo, whenever I use MacOS it always strikes me just how much the OS skirts around the mostly useless Dock bar. Even after spending money on aftermarket programs to fix it up (Thank God for uBar) it's still doesn't make much sense from a UI pov to me.

When preorders start...

It wasn't stated when

Purchased a MacBook Pro 14 just 20 days ago, but will be hitting the return button tomorrow. The Air in midnight is just too sexy, it hurts that I have to pay €180 more for 16/512 than for the Pro, but the lighter weight just suits me better. And it just looks good!

No I meant when the preorders start, I will preorder it LOL?

No Apple Silicon Mac Pro. Depending on how you interpret Apple's statements they either have until the end of this year for the transition or they failed to reach their milestone today.

That isn't the power cable for the studio display. The studio display power cable is stuck into the screen and can't be removed (unless you're apple). In a studio display setup the cable you posted would be used to link screen to device.

Don’t know about you guys… but my head will literally explode if they announce the calculator app for iPad!! 🤣😂🤣

Not so fussed about Calculator, personally, as I have a watch and a phone that I can use if I need it, it's just nice to have that new weather app on a bigger screen, as so much nicer to look at since they rebuilt it using their Dark Sky purchase.

Usually new Mac Pro/Mac mini, etc is October/November.

It's only usually the MacBook Air that's shown off and released earlier in the year.

Therefore, nothing to worry about with their 2 year deadline.

An I am telling you it wasn't mentioned.

 

[AppleInLVX]

No Mac Mini, I guess?

Nope, more's the pity. I don't get why not, but whatever. Now I'm wondering which of the strategies I follow to replace my 27" 2014 Retina iMac. Get the damned Mini and live with M1; Get an M2 Air and use it in clamshell like a desktop; wait *again* for the chance they'll release the next mini in the fall.

Blah.

Does it really matter? Preorder or no preorder I am going to buy that MacBook Air LOL

 

[RosesInTheWind]

Tiny detail on the new MacBook Air promo site, but I think this one of the first times I've seen non-stock apps in the dock (and not in the "recent apps" section on the right).

You’ve always been able to keep any app in the dock. Ctrl click on the icon you want to keep in the dock, Options->Keep in Dock

 

[JoeShades]

Did they completely forget there's an Apple TV 4K in their product lineup?

Anything having to do with Apple TV or + will probably happen in the fall

 

[70orbits]

Does the new air and pro have multiple monitor capability now?!

You are going to have a potentially hard time buying one given the current state of affairs of the 14 & 16 MBP.

Yes, it is called waiting

 

[jav6454]

Yes, it is called waiting

You'll be on of those few then cause I have seen some angry posters in the MBP/MBA forums about how "It's toooo long"
