I hope she's happy with them Kindle apps, brah.

What apps on ios is a must have besides games?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This is exactly what Apple wants you to feel. But ask yourself, before today, did your ipad 3 ever feel limited in any manner?

Nope.

People are bring silly.

What apps on ios is a must have besides games?

Feel free to visit our iOS thread.

There are many.

 

[Technosteve]

Ipad 2 is king.

my ipad 2 still relevant =D

 

[Majine]

If I don't get iTunes 11 RIGHT NOW then I'm going to break something!
Or cry. I'll probably just cry instead.

I know Luckily there aren't that many days left of october.

 

[Toki767]

I have an iPad 3 and I really don't see why people are angry at the updated iPad. They bumped up the specs a bit and switched to a lightning cable, this isn't exactly resolutionary.

There are places on the iPad 3 where you see some stutter that a faster CPU/GPU would improve. Plus it pretty much diminishes retail value.

 

[Somnid]

So who thinks the mini will get a revamp in 6 months?

 

[Ovid]

Wow, so the rumors were dead on about the name too.

Today I'm eating crow because I always said that Apple wouldn't do it.

Although in recent months GAF has thrown some very convincing arguments as to why Apple would produce it.

 

[Ryck]

Store is up...

 

[freenudemacusers]

I don't like Apple, but after todays event I dislike them even more. The worst part are the Apple enthousiasts, wow.

Damn, and everyone was hoping this would be the one that would change your mind!

 

[buhdeh]

What's the point in making tvs thinner? I loved the way our tube set was three feet deep, really filled out the corner of the living room.

Yeah the iMac before was 3 feet deep.

 

[grimshawish]

What's the point in making the iMac so thin? I obviously understand doing this for portable devices, but it's useless on a desktop. It only increases the price, nothing else.

They don't have much to do but show off I suppose.
Its not actually that thin so its all a bit odd.

 

[xxracerxx]

The new iMac has a terrible box design for storage it looks like:

 

[yogloo]

Where is itunes?

 

[Cipherr]

ITT people who act like their iPad 3's will suddenly cease to operate the day the 4 starts shipping. I could rage all day about this, but I think Ill settle for a simple:

"Stop being stupid please."

Your tablet is the same as it was an hour ago, get a freaking grip. Mobile tech moves fast, deal with it.

A nail in the coffin for 7" Android tablets, perhaps

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah..... no.... If they wanted to do that, they would have forgone their usual massive profit margins and priced the mini at $199. At $329 bucks the happy fun time Google and Amazon are slowly building at that $199-$249 range is both alive and kicking. And if the rumors of the $99 tablets are true, they will earn themselves even more of a beachhead. Apple had a chance to put a point on things, and they chose not too.

 

[Aiii]

Apple Store is back, 329 euro in Holland (and Germany as well)

 

[marrec]

So who thinks the mini will get a revamp in 6 months?

I honestly think this may be the only Mini that's released for a few years. I don't expect this to sell quite as well as they are expecting.

 

[diehard]

Apple released an inferior product and they know it if they're already revamping it 6 months down the road. What don't you get about that?

the ipad 3 was inferior?

lol to what?

 

[JaseMath]

I just bought a *NEW* iPad™ a few months back. Fuck you, Apple.

 

[Raistlin]

Time to rename this thread.


I nominate 'Apple's October 23 Event Thread of Gaf Meltdowns'

 

[liger05]

I think Google and Amazon will be pretty content with that price.

 

[Baconsammy]

It's fallen $50 since Sept 12th.

And it was 700 dollars on Sept 17th. Steep drop since due to a dissatisfaction with the new phone and Apple's ability to deliver it.

 

[numble]

Apple's whole selling point for this device was one handed use. That's the main reason for it versus the larger iPad. Portability and mobile use.

There's a difference between one-handed use and being able to hold something in one hand.

 

[Mr Swine]

So many different IPads D:. Won't this confuse potential customers that think that Apple will release a new IPad every 6 months?

 

[Toki767]

I honestly think this may be the only Mini that's released for a few years. I don't expect this to sell quite as well as they are expecting.

iPad Mini with retina by April. Pretty much guaranteed.

 

[Ashhong]

That's subjective, to say the least. I'd be worried about breaking the new iMac if I was near it ><;

Lol is this a joke? People are complaining that it's too thin? Do you routinely shake your computer desk or something? Are you afraid of LED TV's as well? Holy shit

 

[PhoncipleBone]

The new iMac has a terrible box design for storage it looks like:

LOL. WTF?

 

[Divvy]

Vergecast is starting

 

[-COOLIO-]

Except that even letterboxed the image would be bigger on the iPad mini...

would it? i doubt it for a standard 16:9 video, and even then you're getting waaay sub hd content at 1024 x 576 video.

 

[chickdigger802]

What's new for iTunes 11 outside of visual refresh?

Any promise of it not performing like ass?

 

[VoxPop]

At that price? No way in hell.

The regular iPad was outselling every Android tablet easily at $499. What makes you think the $329 won't put an even bigger dent?

 

[CharminUltra]

Nope.

People are bring silly.


Feel free to visit our iOS thread.

Exactly. It's still better than 99% of tablets out there.

I feel bad for Google, though. Their next tablet neutered before it's even announced LOL

 

[BertramCooper]

The 7" Androids are going to continue to undercut them in price, which is why the 7" market exists in the first place.

Pretty much. It will still chip away at the 7" market somewhat, but it's certainly not going to be the death knell that people predicted. Not at that price, and at that size.

 

[RSP]

Apple Store is back, 329 euro in Holland (and Germany as well)

Goddamn, I'll get them from the US then ...

 

[Zeth]

No iPad 4 orders til friday right? Gonna sell my N7 and iPad 3 and consolidate I think.

 

[TxdoHawk]

Still going to sell like gangbusters, despite the awful price. All Joe Schmoe wants is an iPad, and all he sees is that this is a more affordable iPad.

Then next year, Apple will make a Retina Mini, drop this to $279, and sell a truckload more.

 

[Ovid]

Upgrading from an iPad 1.

iPad 4 next year or iPad Mini now?

What would GAF do?

 

[Baconsammy]

I hope she's happy with them Kindle apps, brah.

She certainly doesn't need 50,000 fart apps, if that's what you mean.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I just bought a *NEW* iPad™ a few months back. Fuck you, Apple.

Did it stop working?

 

[Quick]

My 3rd gen iPad is still working, so I'm not really concerned about the 4th gen coming out so soon. I don't plan to buy an iPad every year or every release. I'll probably wait until a 5th or 6th gen, or whenever my iPad dies - whichever comes first.

I will say that the iPad mini without a retina display is a bit disappointing, but I'm sure that'll be rectified next year.

I guess keeping the iPad 2 gives people a ton of options: iPad mini for a "cheap" option, iPad 2 for a middle point, 4th gen iPad for high end.

 

[brotkasten]

Nope.

People are bring silly.

Lets say they're really stupid.

The 4th gen iPad is a very light refresh. iPad 3 owners have nothing to be mad about, other than that they don't have the latest and greatest anymore. Whatever.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Conference was complete shit.

- 13" MBP for 1700 is severely underpowered
- iMac is severly underpowered to be useful as an actual non-portable desktop
- iPad 4 is the best thing to come out of it (for me)
- iPad mini overpriced compared to competition

And worst of all, no iTunes 11.

 

[ghst]

The new iMac has a terrible box design for storage it looks like:

i love the myspace angles thing they've got going with every image of the new imac.

 

[Appleman]

Not mad at Apple for the iPad refresh... just mad at me for not selling mine first.

Vergecast just started for whomever's interested.

 

[flyover]

Suprised so many fellow iPad 3 owners are upset. Who really honestly needs that extra processing/graphical zip? Wait for the iPad 5, which will probably make strides toward being thinner and lighter since there's not much else left to do (and you'll appreciate that far more than the bumped specs).

If anything, this means the iPad 5 will come out sooner, which is good news if you're an every-other-gen purchaser.

 

[Chris R]

So they aren't even selling the 3 any more? Bah! How am I supposed to appropriately price mine then

 

[JackEtc]

She certainly doesn't need 50,000 fart apps, if that's what you mean.

Nope, you only need one.

I <3 my iPad 2. The jump from the 1 -> 2 was worth every penny. No desire to upgrade still, not with this release history.

The first 15 minutes is going to be them wiping their own cum off their faces. I think I'll skip.
