I'm generally curious about the colorful iMac line. Like any product line though I'll wait for the 2nd iteration.

Supposedly there’s going to be a completely redesigned MacBook Pro. They’ve been using the same design since 2015 so it’s about time. The new ones are rumored to come in 14 and 16 inch models, hopefully with reduced bezels.

[Pagusas]

To early to see an m2 chip yet?

 

[Classicrockfan]

I hope for more different watch faces for iwatch.

 

[belmarduk]

I'd really like a redesign for the MacBook Air.
The fucking thing is called Air yet it is 0.2lbs lighter than the MacBook Pro.
Might as well just call it the MacBook Budget.

 

[kikkis]

I wish pro apps like xcode could come to ipados 15 but its just wishful thinking

Not having FaceID on the MacBook lineup is such a sad state of affairs. I hope we‘re due a FaceID hardware shrink soon so it fits inside MacBook lids.

 

[IDKFA]

Any chance of an iPad mini or standard iPad update?

 

[MrS]

Way too early

 

[EviLore]

Apple just submitted the M2 for manufacturing, ready circa July. Will be in the 14” and 16” MacBook Pros set to be unveiled at WWDC. 12 core CPU, 16 core GPU.


First major redesign for the MBP since 2016. Touchbar removed. MagSafe returns. Additional ports, including an SD slot (wtf at removing it to begin with). MiniLED display.


This will be the hopping on point for a lot of people, I think, myself included.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

MagSafe returns.

I can't wait for the iPhone 14 to have a headphone jack.

Hackers leaked a bunch of schematics for upcoming Apple stuff a while back. They seem legit, because the leaks included schematics for the new iMac, and those matched up to what Apple revealed. Here are some of the schematics for the new MacBook Pro, along w/ some mockups based on those schematics done by 9to5Mac:

Guys whats your thoughts on MacBook Pro being available in the summer (July)? I really hope it doesnt go all the way to fall like november. I need to upgrade after 6 years but not sure if I can wait that long. And id be kicking myself if I had to pay the same money for a 2019 model when 5 months later a brand new one comes out. The removal of touch bar excites me the most. Thats like the last thing I cared about but mainly, after the success of the M1 chip in 13", I think the new MBP are teh way to go.

Looking at Apple's history of releasing new MBPs, July seems plausible. This guy sums up the leaks and makes a compelling case for July:



Being an iMac guy, I’m waiting til next year’s iteration to jump in with Apple silicon. Never been one to get in on the first gen of new tech, and I’m on a 2011 iMac so I figure if I can wait this long, I can do another 18-24 months.

 

[Editaur]

Its the most powerful...(insert name of product)...we've ever made.

Still excited for the new redesign of the MacBook Pro but will properly wait for the 2nd Gen version.

 

[PSYGN]

The thing that stopped me from getting an M1 MacBook was the stupid restriction of 1 external monitor only. I'm sure there are workarounds but I'm not interested, I want it working out of the box without any quirks.

So here's to hoping the new M1 MacBooks will support multi monitors, a very strange omission in this day and age.

 

[Azurro]

Come on baby, I need new Macbook Pros to be announced, I need to replace my 15" from 2015.

Nice, Apple has been killing it with the M chips. I'm excited to see the new design but sad that I won't be able to buy one soon (or in a couple of years).

I was wondering if maybe in the future they will put an M chip in the iPhones too. It makes sense.

 

[SegaShack]

Any chance of a 27 inch imac?

Definitely a major omission. Most devs get the big MBP though so we'll see if they address it for the 14/16.

 

[belmarduk]

You know what would be really cool? Redesigned MacBook Airs that are lighter and more compact but have the color options like the new iMacs.

 

[Darko]

Sold my m1 MacBook Pro just in time.. nice.

 

[eddie4]

They could have made the iMac a bit thicker and placed the components behind the screen, got rid of the bottom ugly ass bar, and made the bezel thin. A desktop doesn't need to be that thin, or colorful.

can't tell if you're being serious or not....

i agree they should've made it a bit thicker and got rid of the chin but i quite like the colours.

i'm hoping the 27 (or bigger) inch iMac goes thicker. knowing apple they'll make it thicker and remove the chin but only give you option of silver/grey.

Dead serious

 

[Unknown Soldier]

If the Pro 14 has M2 and mini-LED, I'll probably sell this M1 Pro 13 and upgrade.

Have fun waiting until December for it's replacement

the bottom bar of the iMac just seems weird without the Apple logo on it.

 

[eddie4]

That too, might as well just remove it, or make it smaller and put a logo on it.

I disagree.

The iMac chin is iconic.

I would have been deeply disappointed if they got rid of it. It's what communicates visually to you that it isn't just a display, it's also a computer.

 

[EviLore]

I’m sure the chin is significant for thermals as well as the speaker output. Plus you want to differentiate it visually from a computer monitor.

 

[Darko]

I will... or will wait till June.. we don’t know the release date.I’m not in a rush, I didn’t sell it cause of the announcement though.

 

[EviLore]

Mark Gurman says 10 core CPU (8 high performance, 2 efficiency), 16 and 32 core GPU options, and RAM customizable up to 64GB.

This thing will be a beast.

M1 has 4 high performance cores... nice bump.

I guess the M1+++ will be on the macbooks, the big imac and there's rumors of a mini with it.
