Support NeoGAF

[solarus]

Love how people are up in arms about the mini with retina price when it's basically the same hardware as the full size iPad, for $100 less. Margins are going to be tighter on that thing

The ram will be half though.

 

[Deadman]

Might see how much i can sell my mini for and then get mini 2

 

[cybamerc]

Bummer... no new Apple TV :/

 

[Always-honest]

Indeed.
I'd like a Macpro... But given the starting price is 3000€ i don't think i'll ever buy one.

 

[infiniteloop]

wither Apple TV

 

[killertofu]

Wait that was Bryan Cranston's voice?

 

[Treythalomew]

First time in awhile they've announced stuff that I actually want. I'd take that iPad Air, and the 13" rMBP right now.

 

[Nevasleep]

Also should be 32GB as standard...

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Well that was fun everyone I hope everyone is able to make new purchases and be v.happy.

 

[outunderthestars]

Would have like to see the 32GB's become the new base memory level and for a new Apple TV with apps support but otherwise a solid but not mindblowing conference.

 

[Josh7289]

The iPad 2 is pointless.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

"These amazing products are great examples of the type of innovation that only Apple can deliver."

"Other companies would be incredibly proud to just have one of these products."

So far up their own arse it makes me sick. 1080p Nexus 7 is a decent tablet and $170 cheaper than Retina Mini, if Google put $170 worth of engineering into it I'm sure it would be on par if not better.

 

[The Real Abed]

Now, let's get that store back up.

 

[Carlisle]

I'm most blown away by how the mini got an A7 too... and I think all the rest of the iPad Air's tech. Last year's mini had 2 year old iPad tech in it. So it's the same thing but smaller now, and a higher pixel density. Yeah, that $70 price hike makes a lot more sense now.

 

[dorkimoe]

no pre orders again?

i want to order right now so its out of mind and just shows up

so sick of that

 

[SuperSah]

Better get begging mum for a Retina iPad because it looks awesome.

Pretty decent keynote, even iPad Mini got cheaper.


Free Mavericks here I come once my iMac returns with a new PSU!

 

[nikos]

The iPad mini is going to have a much denser pixel display.

It's going to make my 5S and rMBP look like trash.

 

[Joel Was Right]

$30 price drop for a year old device (iPad Mini 1) got a clap... what.

Says a lot about that audience doesn't it. They were probably all shareholders lmao

 

[JonCha]

Got an iPad 3 16GB, could do with the extra storage to be honest. Nice looking iPad though

 

[Mr Swine]

So are both Mini and air just as fast or is the mini with the A7 as fast as the iPad 4

 

[cyberheater]

A killer conference. MS must be crying right now...

 

[solarus]

It's insane that 16gb is still the base memory for iPads.

 

[chickdigger802]

So does the 300 mini have a7 or is it just the gen 1 mini?

 

[titusandronicus]

All the parts and information leak so far in advance people shouldn't be 'underwhelmed' by Apple keynotes these days. They are spoiled well before they begin so you can't really shock the audience.

 

[Majine]

Any guess when Mavericks and the iLife/iWork updates will come online?

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

I have an iPad 3 and an iPad Touch (5th gen). Does anyone have any clue how much I could get selling them? Enough for an iPad Mini (Retina)?

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Curious to know if there will be a RAM different between Mini and Air.

 

[Nevasleep]

I think the new iPad mini is priced correctly for the specs.

 

[KingHenrik30]

iPad Mini w/ Retina - GET AT ME

 

[LCfiner]

that ad was pretty nice.

anyway, yeah, getting an iPad Air at 16 GB as soon as I can. Mini with retina display at $400 is not for me. too expensive, imo.

Also looking forward to the new iWork updates. I use Numbers pretty frequently.

I’d say the new 13” rMBP is the best machine they have now. Screen blows away the Air, it’s less than half a pound heavier and it’s “only” $1300 to start. Much more reasonable starting price.

 

[Mercury Land-Snake]

Price increase for the mini makes me

However it's exactly what I wanted, so I shouldn't complain. Still getting it day 1.

 

[CrankyJay]

you go through some serious swings man, lol

i am a libra, after all =)

 

[Phreaker]

Apple Store (online) is back up, but I can't order a iPad Air to ship, yet.

 

[The Real Abed]

So does the 300 mini have a7 or is it just the gen 1 mini?

The $300 mini is yesterday's model.

Also, why is GAF having problems NOW?

 

[artist]

A6

 

[JonCha]

Andw hat was that girl hanging from the cliff edge in the yellow tent doing?!

 

[flyover]

I swear, people have the exact same complaints after every single Apple event. It's either "all they did was improve their existing products" or "the new product is underwhelming." Every time.

 

[solarus]

If i can garner £450 may just go for a nexus 7 and nexus 5 combo. These prices are killing me.

 

[SUPREME1]

For 400 they better quadruple the ram to 2gb. Jesus christ.

Wait, Apple is putting out products with 256gb of ram??

...in late 2013?




Shameful.

 

[Trojita]

Store's up!

Oh wow you can't preorder the new iPads.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Site is up but no orders until Nov 1

 

[a secret-boss]

I hope the announce the Mini 2 date soon

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

No Megatons. Dissapointed.

Cook has no megatons.

It's almost exactly double the price of the nexus 7 now. You can bitch about whatever but mini was seen as a cheaper alternative to regular iPad, that's no longer the case. Mini seems like a huge downgrade for $100 vs. the iPad air. Seems like they're doing it to push people to jump to the higher priced air.

 

[Flek]

awesome conference, still wondering why they never update the thunderbolt displays though

 

[sweetvar26]

Also should be 32GB as standard...

Yes, especially for the iPad Air $499 one, it should ship with the 32GB default.

 

[The Real Abed]

Andw hat was that girl hanging from the cliff edge in the yellow tent doing?!

Living on the edge.

Spoiler

She's a mountain climber. She does it for FUN.

 

[RastaMentality]

Crazy how many people predicted the new prices correctly.

 

[Fuu]

iPad 2 16gb @ $400... :lol

 

[chickdigger802]

Weird. My mini has a5x
