Yosemite beta has been great. Might update my ipad mini this year if there is a ram increase in the ipad air 2.
iMac yes! Really hope there isn't an AMD switch like rumored.
What are we expecting for iPads? A8 is a given, probably Touch ID, what else? It isn't lacking in resolution or performance (RAM aside) and the form factor is good. Improved display maybe? Have the 12 inch tablet been taking of?

It will be. The Mac PROs are already using AMD graphics, and I'm sure they're going to want to keep it consistent along their product lines.

New Apple TVs would be cool!
My friend has the last one and it's kind of a pain to use; slow, typing out stuff sucks, and randomly stops streaming and requires a reboot. The app for Netflix specifically is one of the worst versions of Netflix I've used.
Give it some Siri integration with the remote (like the Amazon TV thing) and that would make a difference.

Don't Apple have a policy where if you buy something within a few weeks before new products you can pay the difference and get the new one?
I believe there's been a few cases of them mixing between AMD and NVIDIA for graphics (or offering different options at different prices) so it's not impossible. Can't think exactly but I know at least one PC where they offered a choice and in 2009 I think they had an AMD and an NVIDIA model available before they switched to AMD for a few years and then back to NVIDIA.
Always a good idea to check the buyer's guide, Apple is pretty routine with these sort of updates.

You sure he has the "last one" and not the 2nd generation? I had two 2nd-gen Apple TVs and ran into that same problem - would randomly stop streaming and required reboots. I bought 3rd gens last month to replace them and it's been great. The 2nd gen, since it can be jailbroken and 3rd gen can't, gets almost double its original MSRP on ebay.
Even though I have the 3rd gen I'd still also like to see something new with the Apple TV.
This, please.

If all else is staying the same, much better battery life, I would guess. 802.11ac MIMO as well.
Does Apple usually say what it is or do we have to wait for the teardown?
OS X has been high dpi ready for a while now. It'll be a simple @2x scale.
Teardown. Wouldn't be surprised if they said, tho.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, the resolution-independent UI stuff in Mac OS X was shelved a while ago, in favour of the current pixel-doubling approach.
Yeah, it's tough to know when to buy, as it's not like they update them like clockwork at the same time every year.
My "new iPad" or "iPad3" is getting a little long in the tooth.
Those resolutions (at least the highest one) could just be like the higher than native resolution on the retina MBP, scaled down for more effective screen space. 5k would be pretty cool though.
1st gen mini here. I'm eyeing a new Retina mini. hey look a pun.
You always think Apple can't go even thinner, and then they do.
Rumors banded about of a screen upgrade to 'retina' 5120 x 2880.

I never get this when I read stuff like this, a quick Google search of "next ipad or iPhone" always lets people know the exact month of the next version of the device
They should consider adding support for styluses even if they themselves don't want to include it. As a student, the Surface Pro is looking really good just because it comes with an awesome stylus, all the ones I have tried (from cheap to expensive Bluetooth styluses) have sucked compared to what Android/Windows offer. I am assuming because iOS doesn't have an API for third parties to use.

My ipad3 is still going strong but wouldn't mind upgrading it (finally) so we'll see what's being offered this time around.
Will probably stick with the Air model as I prefer it over the Mini.

iPad 3rd gen is getting long in the tooth. Here's to hoping I can snag a mini Retina refurbished after this for cheap. Provided nothing in the new ones is must have.
Rumor is a thinner iPad Air with a laminated screen and an anti glare coating. It's about damn time. They better put 2gb or ram in it too.

The lack of a recent update and the fact there's an event soon is what's holding me back.

If Apple are posting their Quarter results on the 20th, I bet they hope that their shares will go up.
What could it be? If they announced a black macbook pro, I think I would flip all my shit. I kinda don't want them announce it as I am happy with my 2013 retina MBP!

I think itll be less. I dont think itll be double the cost of the most expensive current 27" iMac.
Im hoping for around $2500 or less but I wouldnt be surprised if it started at $3000
