I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Yes - I have a 13". But there was a rumor that Apple was removing it from the 15" with Haswell, which according to leaked specs - is partially true.
Credit to the poster at Macrumors grabbing from BBS:
Here's to hoping the 15" with a dGPU is still $2200, and the cheaper model is replacing the old non-retina model. $2200 for 512GB, 16GB, iris pro, AND a dedicated GPU is a great deal and I'll order today. But I'm not feeling so confident...
Thanks guys.
Release a Retin iPad Mini and I might buy it over the Nexus 7 this Christmas.
..for the same price as a 7 this time round.
Also, I need to see more of that beautiful black trash can. I love my iMac though.
Off topic: I sent my iMac in for a replacement PSU yesterday as it was making a loud buzzing noise. Anyone else had this?
ah yeah I see. that pricing would be awesome but not likely =(

Seems to be strong indication, though, that the non-retinas are done, now; fully replaced by retina. If so, there's a small possibility the pricing will be significantly better that last go round.
I mean, let's see - it's been 18 months since introduced with only a small refresh/spec bump. That's a year and a half to drive down the price a few hundred bucks.
We shall see.

Slim to nonexistant.
There will be a barebones model that nobody wants just so they can say 'Mac Pro from $2999' but it's going to be a very expensive machine.

Apple needs to bring something new to the table. These incremental upgrades (admittedly I'm waiting for the iPad Mini w/ Retina) without dropping something new are moving them into Samsung territory. They don't have a Jobs lording over them to keep things secret, so it's pretty much a given that we won't see brand new hardware like a true Apple TV (not that there is a need for one).
-Mini upgrade to Retina
-New iPad (up some specs, add M7 processor)
-Pricing on Mac Pro (yawn)
-Other nominal announcements
Short of announcing they are getting in bed with Valve on the Steam Box, I don't see anything worth tuning in for.

EXTREMELY unlikely. Let's say it has the same over/under as Apple announcing a TV today.
Indeed. It's a lot of expensive (SSD's) and proprietary tech to fit into the cylinder.

I've decided that I'm hanging on to my iPad 3. iPad 5 is going to have to blow my fucking socks off if I'm going to change my mind.
I'll be there Day 1 for House Cat, though
. I assume my 2009 Mini will be upgradeable. Damn thing is maxed out, so it better be.

I had an iPad 3 since a few months after release. Dude, it's slow. If it's working for you - that's awesome. No reason to upgrade if you're happy. But trust me, the iPad 5 will blow your socks off with how much faster it is.

Yeah it still works outstanding. Wish i could say that about my iPhone 4 since the new OS
We pretty much already know what's dropping on this end, "mind-blowing" are definitely not the words of the day. The new casing based off the Mini will be nice though, and hopefully that plus the new screen tech means significant weight savings.

I haven't updated it to iOS7 and, unless I hear otherwise about the bugginess and performance issues, I have no plans to. I mostly use it to browse the web, read comics and Kindle books and writing. So I'm not exactly putting it through it's paces, I don't think.
I don't like iOS7 anyways.
Whoaa there. The current rMBPs all have a base level of 8GB of RAM. Will 4GB be enough? I assume this means that they are discontinuing the non-retina MacBook Pros and dropping the entry-level price of the Retinas. Still I would prefer 8GB standard... Apple really should offer a RAM BTO upgrade for that entry-level model but I'm not getting my hopes up
(assuming this leak is accurate of course)
so you're thinking the base rMBP w/ Iris would see a price drop, and they slot the one w/ dGPU in at the current low price? I'm there too if that's how they do it. I don't think I can settle for Iris considering I'm in After Effects a lot.
If outstanding equals a sluggish iOS7, then I do agree.

I have a hard time believing that 4GB would be enough RAM to power the rMBP efficiently. It's fine on something like the Air of course, but the heftier display needs more horsepower and memory I think. If it is true, upgrading to 8GB would probably be in the cards for me.

I've just sold my iPad 3 and ready to upgrade to the iPad5. Infact I'd be more tempted by an even bigger screen than a retina mini.

I don't have that on my iPad 3 though. My Iphone 4 is sluggish as hell. Sluggish as in: this is not what i signed up for. Fuck that.

Yeah, I'm thinking they stick with the $1799, $2199, and $2699(?) pricing. Remove the old stuff entirely. It makes sense. That way prices go down... but technically, don't go down. It's a win for everyone.
But then again, I ALWAYS leave these things disappointed, so we shall see...
Well that's your luck then
Do not upgrade to iOS 7 on your iPad 3. I regret that I did. Especially when I constantly compare it to how fluid it is on my iPhone 5.I would guess $1999, $2399 for those lower 2 models. that $1999 is going to be the sweet spot for them
My 4S works just as fast and slick 2 years on and I'm declining upgrading to a new phone because there's no need.
Oh and I've rejected iOS7 too.
thats just wrong, iOS7 is so much better than 6
Apple calls it "Fall Event 2013."
iPad is probably going to be the biggest focus, but they have "a lot to cover."

I could see that, too. They want to get it under two grand.
BUT - the reason I hold hope is that I think even Apple will have difficulty telling people they must spend two thousand dollars if they want a 15" display, retina or not.
I doubt they'll have a problem with that at all =)
The main thing I use my phone for is browsing the internet, watching/listening to youtube and listening to podcasts. I don't think there's anything new that is necessary for me.
Swiping to go back a page is godlike.
Unlimited tabs, synced with other ios devices, compared to 8 tabs.
Not on older hardware it isn't. My 4 will cling to ios 6 for life, I also preferred how much faster ios 6 was on my mini although ios 7 runs fine on it. I didn't gain much out of ios 7 personally, i like the swiping in the web browser and auto updating apps but that's about it I guess, redesign is a mixed bag. Preferred the speed and battery life of ios 6.
I'm the same. When I went from 3G to 4S it was a big leap on every front. Way better camera, speed, display and everything. Now I don't really see that huge leap from 4S to 5S. I'll just hold onto the 4S for another year to get off the 'tock-#S' part of the cycle.

Wish i rejected iOS7 on my phone too. It really ruined the experience. Just in speed though. I don't dislike the OS itself.
if you had two ipads, and you wanted to sell one to put towards an ipad 5, would you sell an ipad 3, or an ipad 2? I have both, and the kids are using the ipad 2. Just wondering which one will hold out longer in terms of OS upgrades etc?
The kids don't need a retina ipad, its mostly games and web browsing, so its a function of which will last better vs best resale price (I think its a 32GB ipad 2)

I hope they announce a microwave. I'd buy the fuck out of an Apple branded microwave that doesn't burn the fuck out of popcorn on the popcorn setting.
I have this crazy theory that they will be cheaper, but designed to be joined together, to increase the power. Sort of like Voltron.
In any event, I'm excited to see it.

yeah saw that safari/OSX requirement (so stupid). Luckiliy I have my iPad with me at work I guess

I'm in the same boat. I love the size of the mini, and I think I'd day one a Retina Mini (or at least attempt to considering the rumors of possible supply constraints). I need to sell my iPad 3, but I wanted to wait to see what the new iPads were all about before I did.
I can beat you on that one. I went from iPhone 1 to 4s!
Streaming this on a three year old 4th Gen iPod Touch has never felt so gooood.

Dude I think I'd die if I went back to iOS 6 because of this feature alone.
