I want a 5120x2880 27 inch Apple Cinema Display.
Laminated display and less reflective is enough for me. Is the air 2 rumoured to be 2GB? And any specs on weight vs the Air? Thinner should mean lighter I suppose.
Keeping the air at $399 is going to kill my resale value on my air, should have sold it last week. Is it 16Gb only?

So it's invalidated because that's the current price being sold by the company that makes it?

Didn't see it a minute ago when I checked on my MacBook.
Really excited to update myself, too. Never tried any of the betas.
"Retina" coming to Mac?

I can imagine a lot of people buying an iMac as a display for their Mac Pro's. Can you use it as a display for any other devices? Like the Mac Mini or even a Windows PC?
I don't get the iPad Mini 3, isn't the only difference the touch ID? They're still selling the iPad mini retina for $300. Why would you pay $100 for Touch ID?
iPad Air 3 looks pretty great, hopefully 2gb of ram is confirmed. I still wish for split screen multitasking
Has the A8X no?
It doesn't need Displayport, it's an internal display.
Now the question of if you would have to dual-link like OG 30inch DVI to have another computer drive a display this size is an open one.

I would take a picture of it but that's to personal. For one, I don't need billing apps because it tells me what bills need to be paid. It keeps me updated on sports and weather. It gives me location based information.. Like if I'm hungry, alerts as well if I have any. If any news that I'm interested has been updated.
I don't know if maybe you do nothing on your phone and that's why it does nothing for you, but it has done a lot for me. And continues to get better.

Wow... that sucks. Is it really just Touch ID that got upgraded?
I see no place in my life for an iPad, but if I were to get one, I'd definitely want the Mini. Last year they had near spec parity which made it super attractive.
Apparently not.
iPad mini 3 is the exact same device as the iPad mini with Retina display, aside from the inclusion of Touch ID.
Absolutely pathetic.
Didn't say that in the spec list for the mini. I don't think it has the new chip.

Black is boring and gold is tacky, I'm getting silver myself.

Oh. I see what they did. The $500 mini is basically the $1100 iMac. 1.4GHz on the baseline and for $200 more you get 2.6GHz and much better graphics. I'm onto your game, Apple. I see what you did there.

Bummer there is no Apple TV refresh. I am getting fed up with the Samsung Smart apps built in to my TV and as long as I can run plex on an apple tv, I am fine getting that since I could at least mirror my wife's laptop to it.
It says that that's what the market value is for a 4K 27". So are they lying?

Where
Did I miss a slide?
They have, at least for me. Even shows that Yosemite is up for download even though it's not up in the store.
Wow.
Ryan Smith (Anandtech):
I Have a 7870, decent GPU, but it was mid range in 2012. Same chip as the R9 270X which is today less than 200$.
Shame they didn't go for Maxwell which would have been a perfect fit to drive many pixels while using little power, but I guess they for whatever reason need to use AMD in Macs.

No AppleTV update means I'm jumping over to either the new Google Box or FireTV.

Because I was pointing out that is what you can buy it now at? It's possible that sale could be up there forever until the price drops because new and better stuff will be out by then. Okay, if I bought it right now, would I be paying $2500? No, I wouldn't. And no, they aren't lying.

Interesting. Living in Seattle, I have zero use for constant weather updates. If I want a forecast, I'll just jump into notifications and tap the weather icon. I don't pay attention to sports, either, so that's out.
The other stuff never really popped up for me. I got a lot of useless information that apparently they put out based on my emails, like other people's flight information, etc. It's nice that you can tell the app you don't care about that kind of information, though.

I was excited by the Mac Mini until I read the tech specs. No more quad i7.
They don't ever say.

Insane For Sony
Much more important question is whether the screen quality has been bumped up to ipad air/iphone 5/5s/6 color quality. A7 never felt slow on Mini, but the screen was a disappointment.
They never talk about RAM, we'll have to wait until reviewers or iFixit get their hands on it.
