So did the other models get updates?

Also, FUCKING FINALLY! MAC MINI!!!

I might just get the new Mini. I only need it for a server mainly. I'll suffer with my 10 year old 20" Apple Cinnamon Display with its amazingly high resolution 1680x1050 display.

Wait... what was the price? Same? Or did I hear $499? I must have heard that wrong... right?

good to see the Mac mini down to the original $500 launch price again. it had gotten pretty expensive for a small, starter machine.

I hate when they say "These are the best products we've ever had". Of course it is better. It would be crazy if they were worse!

So not worth it
Yep, I was one of the first people to get the iPhone, one of the first to get the iPad mini, but after all these years I am going to bow out of the iOS environment in favor of Android. Already had the Nexus 5 and 7, going to add the 9 in place of my iPad now as well.

You had a good run Apple, but Android L puts iOS to shame and it now has the hardware (and screen ratio) to match you there as well.

I guess I'll be buying another Apple TV 3 :(

(EDIT)
Just so you know, Costco has the ATV3 for 97 bucks and it comes with a 15 dollar Apple GC.

It's all I expected from it though. Sure, a total redesign with techniques learned from the laptops and iMacs would have been amazing. Maybe next year.

Can anyone confirm the price? I am still deciding on the iMac vs. Mac mini. (iMac will be baseline 21" though. NOT the entry level one of course, but the baseline one that doesn't suck.)

Edit: Oh WOW. It's finally back to $499 after almost 8 years being more than $599. And being $699 for a long time. Fuck.
