Copernicus is gone for a reason.
Do you even know what you're laughing at?
Lol? I don't own anything with a retina display, but it makes sense that people don't want to downgrade on their displays.
Retina in fact, looks pretty damn amazing.
I'd say larger size and retina is more useful for browsing. I'd keep the 3.
What do we think about naming? iPad mini? iPad air due to thinness?

...what?
Yes. iPhone 6 is expected at this event. It is going to blow the iPhone 5 away and come with Google Maps built in. That is what all the rumors are pointing towards.

Yep. Odds are they have have completely refreshed it in the last 3 weeks. You dont want to be left out on the new iPhone 6 do you?
Edit damn you Cheebo
iPad mini + stuff like Angry Birds Star Wars and the like is a lot more appealing to todays kids than Nintendo systems, it's just how things are now. You'll see a lot more kids wanting this for christmas than something like the Wii U.
True,disposable income is limited.

Yeah I love the way they've used it to mean little.

I have a little girl and she and her friends don't give a crap about Nintendo. They either covet an iDevice or cherish the one they have. With that said, they're not married to brands. The Kindle Fire at 199 is an infinitely better value to them than iPad 2 or 3. They just want a content delivery mechanism. The 3DS isn't even in the discussion, whereas before the DS was. Most wanted gifts I see among them are small tablets, iPod Touch 5th gen, and Paperwhite. Wii U isn't even in their conversation at this point despite me showing them footage of it. Mario doesnt mean anything to them. How times change.

they must not be playing games then, because all the games are on iOS (as far as tablets go).
speaking of tablet stuff for children, whatever happened to the animated/interactive books scene? did it continue to grow or fade out?
edit: books like this -

Yeah, I don't think this is a Apple thing necessarily but more of a tablet thing (including iPod touch). It has really impacted what kids want in terms of electronic devices.

There's no shortage of games on the Fire. Games aren't what they use these for most of the time. It's communicating with each other, reading books, watching Netflix/AmazonPrimeVideo etc. The Fire offers my daughter more than the iPad can (lending library from Kindle, Amazon Prime etc). But size and price were huge factors.

A part of me dies inside knowing that it will sell a lot, regardless of wtf it is.

you know the ipad mini I see happening (same with Imacs/mac minis), but I think it is to early for the 13in MBPr. Haswell is not out yet and the hd4000 cannot handle retina resolution very well. So unless they put a dedicated graphics card in the 13in I do not see the 13in pro happening just yet. Maybe when haswell is released, but not right now.

Yeah, this much is true. But the Retina 15" MBP has some UI slowdown issues too. It seems like something Apple's pushing out before the tech is truly ready (hence still offering the vanilla MBP for now).
I think they'll put it out but keep the standard non-Retina MBPs around until Haswell or later.
Why? Even the most anti-Apple guy out there would be hard pressed to deny the iPad product line is pretty damn solid. There is a reason you see a lot of loyal Android phone users going iPad when they get a tablet.

The Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet are at 169PPI so the iPad mini would be at the bottom of that list at 163PPI
I'm thinking 8/16/32
Although a 64GB iPad mini at $449 would have me seriously reconsidering the 64GB iPod touch I have on pre-order. I don't know. I'll have to see one in person...even though the 5th gen iPod touch is a 4 inch screen, it has 326PPI. Just don't know if I could go with a 163PPI screen for reading. Gaming? Sure. Video? Sure...but email and web browsing...just don't think I could handle the fuzziness.
Same here. Crazy it's been almost two years since a refresh.

I go back and forth. The larger screen is definitely more 'watchable', but the smaller screen is more portable. Hard to really decide which one I like more since I have so many different factors and I'll want to swap between them all depending on what I'm doing.
The kids definitely love the larger factor for watching Netflix and playing games though.

What's wrong with the current iMacs? Specs still seem pretty good.
They are good but I'm holding out for Ivy Bridge and USB 3 which is likely considering what the MacBook Pro Retina has. Also, it may have a new design that includes Flash Storage standard, again like the Retina. I doubt it will have a desktop Retina display, which honestly, I hope it doesn't.

Well with the new models I expect to see USB 3, better processor, GPU, and maybe a thinner design. Do not expect to see retina models for at least another 2-3 years. I doubt they would go all flash as a 500gb SSD is still around 400-500 dollars. I know I wouldn't want an imac with only 128-256 gb SSD in it.
Well the 15in MBPr can handle the retina only due to having a dedicated GPU, but when you only have the hd4000 active it lags really bad. I just do not see even apple putting out a retina 13in when people will be really disappointed that they did not wait until haswell.

why would it be WiFi only?

to keep costs down? To further differentiate it from other iThings? I dunno, just my prediction.
Having a LTE option doesn't make the wifi only ones cost more, no reason not to have a LTE one as well.

My guess is that the iMac will get a bit of attention.
It's Steve's baby. And now they made it thinner dropshape, glueing the glass on the body.
I'm betting it will look crazy awesome. But i'm hoping it will have some nice performance too.....
Kinda sceptical about that point.
I don't think or hope it will have retina but i do think it will be a better screen than before (fuck glossy). No more optical drive.

You know, I think the colors might indicate that they'll announce the mini in different colors?
