Well since Air 2 64GB is $600, then a starting price for Pro 64GB should either be 700 or 800.
 
I think it'll start at 699 or 799. if 64 GB base is true, I think 799 is more likely.

The thing is gonna be pretty expensive, I think.

I dont understand. Are we expecting to get a Rose Gold and a Gold device?

yup (mockups)

Rumored to get a gold + rose gold Apple Watch sport too.
 
I just want a deep black color. The deeper the better. Space Grey is too light. The new version on the iPod touches and the Watch are nice enough. Just use that. Or make it darker.

Actually I'd rather have a nice Product (RED) version. I don't understand why they don't sell their aluminum products in a build-to-order slightly more expensive (I don't care if it's charity) RED version. I'd buy all my Macs in red. Especially my phone and my next laptop. (Well I would hope the redness of the top case of a laptop wouldn't be distracting.)

If not RED then that nice blue they have now. But I'd prefer RED.

I wish Apple would perfect the art of custom coloring aluminum and sell everything directly to the owner in whatever color they want. Personalization is key. Make your Mac yours.

If I had the patience, I'd just pay ColorWare to do it for me but I really don't feel like bothering or paying the exorbitant amount.
 
I think it's pretty easy to make a crowded event less crowded: stop doing 8 minute long live demoes of incremental changes to photos, mail, and calendars. Don't feature Dr. Dre. Speed up the part where you talk about how the Apple Store in Timbuktu is doing well. Don't do a video where orphans with diabetes play Angry Birds in hospital rooms. Like, there's a ton of recurring filler. Not to say that stuff doesn't help set the tone or whatever, but if there are too many announcements for the amount of time, cut the stuff that aren't announcements.
 
I don't even think they'll spend 30 minutes on the new Apple TV.

I do hope it comes with a remote control for controlling games, as I don't have an iDevice anymore. And that we can cross play with people on iPhone and iPad.

Yeah, which is why I have trouble believing the iPad Pro would come now. First off, iOS isn't ready for it. So an iPad Pro would just be a bigger iPad with no features that make it Pro. And second, they won't be putting OS X on it because it just isn't going to happen. In order for us to get an iPad Pro they'd need to show off some features in iOS that would make it Pro. They'd have to be hiding some features in iOS that we haven't seen yet. I mean what would people actually want from an iPad Pro?

If that quoted rumour of ios9.1 is true, they could easily be hiding a few system features behind that - or it might just be the stylus integration.

The more flexible extensions; file handling and handover between apps; split view multitasking; cursor control on the keyboard - all of those are steps towards a more hybrid iOS. If you think of some of the more advanced design and productivity apps already available for iPad, designed around finger touch. They could be significantly more functional on an iPad pro with a full legal paper sized screen, keyboard and pressure sensitive stylus support.


I've been considering a surface pro 4, but I could consider an iPad pro instead depending on the app support. That could also let me ditch my iPad Air 2. Even for basic use, one window for web browsing and one for youtube or a messenger app could be really nice. And the screen would be great for watching video.


Are there any rumours about the aspect ratio?

Just hope they don't demo it like previous Apple TVs:

"Here's the Movies section, I can scroll through my Movies like this"
"Here's the TV section, I can scroll through my TV shows like this"
"Here's other apps, I can scroll through my Netflix queue like this"
"Here's my Photos, I can scroll through my Photos like this"

k, we get it.

You know, when Apple released the iPhone with its restrictive "No bloatware carrier apps allowed! iPhone must be iPhone period!" stance, I thought "Apple just saved the cell phone! No more shitty UI and confusing app selections." Then Google came along, released Android and said "It's free and open and you can do whatever you want with it!" and basically took cell phones back to what Apple freed them from. They should have made rules for Android. The same rules Apple made. Does Google not have the same pull that Steve had? I guess even Google couldn't restrict the phone makers from putting their own apps on the phone. Shame really.

Is it Wednesday yet? I really really can't wait to see what the 6S/+ brings.

I'm ready for pretty much all non essential apps to be deletable. Apple might not allow carrier bloatware but they do load up their phones with a variety of useless apps as well. :(

I know it's not going to happen, but I would loooove if I could get an iPad Pro as a good alternative to a Cintiq.
Click to expand...

I'm in the same boat, but I don't see it happening either. It would be amazing if you could connect it to an iMac and you could get photoshop displayed on it.
 
Next two months should be interesting and will decide the fate of my computing for years to come. Here's my situation...

I bought a 2013 15" rMBP in October 2013 (the month it was released). I love it and it hasn't failed me to this day. Amazing display, great performance, battery still amazing.

A few weeks ago I bought a Surface Pro 3 as a drawing tablet. I'm floored at how much I like this thing. Last day I can return it in the 15-day window is.... tomorrow! I really haven't touched my MBP since I got the Surface.

So here's what I'm thinking of possible scenarios...

A) iPad Pro is amazing and does exactly what I want. This would require a stylus with pressure sensitivity and actual art applications that fit in my workflow. This would mainly be a version of Photoshop that is at least powerful enough to do everything I want on the tablet... there is a rumor that Adobe and Apple are working on more robust iOS apps so we might see this tomorrow. If this is all clear from the conference I could see myself potentially returning the Surface Pro.

B) iPad Pro doesn't measure up... Surface Pro 4 blows my socks off and I sell my SP3 AND rMBP and get the new top of the line SP4 as my only computer.

I would prefer Apple releases a killer iPad Pro that fits my needs, but I guess we'll see.

ALSO, is there anyone out there confirming their inside sources that says iPad Pro will be announced tomorrow? I have a funny feeling that there will still be an October event for iPads and all we'll see tomorrow is new iPhones and Apple TV.
 
It'll be interesting to see Apple have so many devices in the 11-13" range. I expect they may be waiting to see which ones cannibalize the others.

I'm still most excited for the Apple TV right now, though I hope to see Force Touch/3D Touch do some cool new things for iOS.

Apple is going to potentially rob me blind the next few months.

I will buy Skylake 27" iMac the moment it's available. My current one is from 2009 and really beginning to struggle.

If the iPad Pro is useful for Photoshop painting, I will buy it, provided reviews are fine.

If I don't have any issues with switching carriers, I will ditch my Sprint iPhone 6 and get a T-Mobile 6s.

I love my SP 3. I left OSX to get it a year ago and haven't looked back since.

my only issues are the SP3 is not quite as powerful as my 2013 MBP and the fans kick on a little too often for my liking. I'm surprised at how much I like Windows 10, I could easily see myself transitioning away from OS X.

SP4 rumors are pointing to Skylake which would help with the heat/fans plus power and there's also a rumored 14" version.

But I'm super interested in seeing the iPad Pro. An Apple product hasn't got me super excited in awhile but this could be it.
 
What I want:

"Here are the new iPhones. Here's a new iPad. And by the way, we combined a DVR, game console, and TV streaming device into one box. Here's EA to talk about how to play the definitive version of Star Wars Battlefront this fall on the New AppleTV."

;)
 
When do pre-orders normally go up? I want to get one from Verizon, and I want to make sure I can be at a computer when it happens

Well you're not wrong. But it's trivial to just throw them at the end of a folder. I'd really just prefer the option to toggle apps off like on the iPod nano or the current iCloud Drive app. (Which will probably eventually just become an app that is always there too no matter what.) I'm sure most of the apps are kept because they have services that other apps require so removing them might not always be wise. I don't think they'd take up that much space anyway. Especially now that we don't have skeuomorphism anymore and with app thinning and bundle trimming I'm sure they'll take up even less from now on.
 
I am going to say no iPads tomorrow. New iPads and pros, Mac updates and el cap in October. Everything else tomorrow.

Also why not call it the iPad Plus? fits with latest iPhone convention etc.

They'd have to start calling the 4" iPhone the "iPhone mini".

Which would actually be cool.

iPhone mini > iPhone > iPhone Plus
iPad mini > iPad Air > iPad Plus

But then the Air part throws it off.

So start calling the normal iPhone the iPhone Air.

Problem solved. And complicated even further.

No October conference, seems like.

Which is bad because I really want a new iMac :(
 
Damn they are cruising through this stuff.

Edit: oh no activity here? *looks for conference thread*
