[Good Job Bob]

Maybe they'll announce a mapping app that doesn't suck ass?

 

[polyh3dron]

13" Retina MBP is going to suck if it's integrated graphics only.

I really hope the iMac gets a good update.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Yep. If it isn't retina, and it's still priced above the Fire HD, Apple will have earned themselves another Fire HD sale. People like my wife and her friends dont give a damn about the name on the device. They care about size and price. These aren't essential devices. They're for consuming content, and Amazon/Android have all the content they need as well. I hope Apple surprises me with specs and price. In a good way.

Good points. For me, it's about gaming. I find my current touch too small, and the ipad is kinda awkward to hold for me (and pricier, haha).

I was hoping this mini would have the retina screen, so it would had been perfect for me with it's smaller size. I don't really want to just go to 4" on the new touch to get the higher res.

We shall see.

Also hoping the new itunes is a big jump on performance on windows.

Snark aside, I wonder if they will talk about Maps in any significant way.
I'm sure they'll have to demonstrate flyover and all that, but as far as the future of it.

 

[Treefingers]

Could we see the iTunes update go live the same day? Cause the current iTunes is NOT cutting it.

I think that's a safe bet.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

No retina, no buy.

I don't care if they have to jack up an extra 50 bucks, this thing needs retina.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I can picture this thing having the same res as iPad 2 that way it keeps compatibility but at a lower price. This thing will be like iPod touch compared to iPhone...dumbed down specs I bet.

 

[moniker]

What would a 13" Retina MBP's resolution be?

2560x1600 probably.

 

[Futureman]

8" iMac?

 

[Patrick Bateman]

the top of the apple looks like breasts.

Apple finally anounces artifical women? \o/

 

[Future]

Tiny iPad alone doesn't seem that enticing. The price is what's gonna make this thing explode. With iPads at 399 along with the touches, this mini has to be 299 max, and will likely be less

Given lackluster iOS updates this year, I doubt there will be anything software wise that is cool about it. More rows of icons on a smaller screen

 

[Betta Lines]

The focus on the top part of the apple logo looks like something pushing into a textured surface. Haptic feedback. The 'little' is a reference to the size, and 'more' is because it's delivering this revolutionary technology before anyone else.

 

[fancimus]

I wonder if the rainbow spread of colors in the invite is a hint that the new ipads (or some other product) will come in multiple colors, similar to the new ipod?

doubt it on the ipads...

Oh that'd be nice actually.

 

[FlashFlooder]

I want a 13" Retina Macbook, but only if it's affordable (a man can dream...)

Maybe they'll release a new Apple TV, I've been eyeing those for a while too.

 

[Majine]

Couldn't care less about iPad Mini, just give me the new iTunes, please.

 

[numble]

Obviously it is symbolizing an iPhone interacting with an Apple TV via NFC.

Oh wow, you're going to need some ice after that stretch.

 

[Dead Prince]

oh shit the conference is down town, I should stalk

why stalk. go inside and get a free product when they announce it.

 

[FunnyBunny]

Rumor is $249 8GB WiFi only, $449 on the top end.

Day. One.

As long as the 16GB is $299.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Hoping the iPhone 5S get announced.

 

[FlashFlooder]

I still don't see how they can offer these things for such low prices and expect to sell many iPod Touch's at roughly twice the price.

 

[CrankyJay]

Gonna go jogging with your iPad mini?

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Buy stocks now. Sell just before the conference.

 

[KingKong]

Ok, so both 9to5 and AppleInsider say the Minis will come (in addition to size and color) in 'good, better and best' variety. They think that's Wifi, 3G and 4G.

Does that sound weird to anyone else? Who would buy a 3G over 4G? What would the price difference even be? It's $130 extra for both iPad 2 to 3G and the iPad 3 to 4G

I would think it's carriers but then why is it good, better and best?

 

[krypt0nian]

I would slay a dragon for an orange and white one.

 

[giga]

The base touch costs $200. iPods fit in your pocket.

 

[bbagwell]

My body is ready.

 

[Flo_Evans]

New iMac. I needs it.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Gonna go jogging with your iPad mini?

Like a boss

 

[Technosteve]

i've decided that i am going to buy the 13 inch retina macbook pro, i am assuming the cost is 1500 ish

 

[LiK]

iPhone5S

[tino]

So this is the 9th or the 10th iPad mini thread now?

 

[Polk]

Day. One.

As long as the 16GB is $299.

According Media Markt leak 16gb will be 346 euro, 32gb 449 and 64gb 559 euro. Add another 100 for cellular.
I'd assume there will be conversion 1$=1euro.

 

[FlashFlooder]

All I'm saying is that it forces the vast majority of their customers to make a choice between the two products. But, I suppose that's been true for the last few years, at least.

It just occurs to me that their iThings lineup is getting awfully crowded. Not sure how smart of a move that is on their behalf. The simplicity of their old lineup seemed to work for them. That said, I think they will sell 3 bucketloads of the iPad Mini.

 

[krypt0nian]

So this is the 9th or the 10th iPad mini thread now?

Go back and count. We'll wait breathlessly.

 

[Fox1304]

Hoping for a iPad 3 refresh.

 

[dallow_bg]

So this is the 9th or the 10th iPad mini thread now?

lol

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

Apple finally anounces artifical women? \o/

is that the entry level version ?

 

[Zeth]

My god, this will be the biggest thing this holiday.

They saw various companies going for a niche they weren't involved in themselves and decided to grab a piece of the pie.

My guess is this device won't be retina, which will present an equitable choice.

Get the iPod with retina or get the larger iPad mini without it. Which do you value more?

Next year, if they decide to go retina on iPad Mini 2, then there's something to worry about.

 

[tino]

Go back and count. We'll wait breathlessly.

I will wait till the live blog thread and the iPad mini sux Kindle Fire rulez thread come out before the counting.

 

[FlashFlooder]

Fair enough.

I'm the biggest electronics whore around, but I can't even bring myself to consider the iPad Mini. Unless it comes with some feature I can't live without....

 

[Betta Lines]

Hoping for a iPad 3 refresh.

Why? I mean, if you haven't jumped on one by now, you might as well wait a few more months until iPad 4.

 

[krypt0nian]

I will wait till the live blog thread and the iPad mini sux Kindle Fire rulez thread come out before the counting.

Cool. You let us all know.

 

[FlashFlooder]

Why? I mean, if you haven't jumped on one by now, you might as well wait a few more months until iPad 4.

Personally, I would love for my iPad 3 to have a lightning connector. I can wait for the 4 for that, though.

 

[Dany]

I eagerly await to see the count.

Does the screen quality really factor into in when it concerns the IPod? I get it on the phone because you need to have than on you all the time The Ipod has a small 4" display and there is so much more utility with the mini

I think portability is the bigger determinant
