So they're selling the new iPad and the iPad 2, but not the recent iPad (iPad 3 but don't call it that!!)?


iPad
iPad 2
iPad
iPad
iPad Mini

Is this right? Why in the world would they do that?

 

[8bit]

Guess the price point for the Nexus 10 will be 329 then?

 

[flyover]

Nah, should've been $299, though, for sure. That extra $29 is actually confusing as fuck for the product line.

All I can think is that it's because the iPod Touch is $299, and they thought it might cannibalize the Touch sales.

 

[RBH]

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Price point comes across as a bit cocky.

Very little question that the iPad Mini is an insanely better device than a Nexus, but it's going to be over $100 more.

Increases their market distribution, but doesn't KO the competition.

In what way is it insanely better? It's wider?

 

[Anticitizen One]

so what are the improvements to the ipad 4: Just a slightly better processor and camera? Still the same weight? I hate that the ipad 3 is heavier than ipad 2 thats the reason I didnt buy one

 

[buhdeh]

Where the heck is iTunes 11

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

iPad 3 owners got taken for a ride. Apple don't play no games anymore.

 

[Dartastic]

A new full blown iPad? Ugh. Think I should sell my 3 to upgrade to this 4?

 

[Patrick Bateman]

The price is totally absurd, but we all know people will eat this bullshit up.

It blows my mind why they did choose such a weird number. Why 329 and not 299?

299 sounds way more attractive and it's only 30$ less.

 

[Kiraly]

€349 for the 16GB WiFi here in the Netherlands, my god.

Nexus 32GB retails for €249

 

[ckohler]

I'm just glad they released new iMacs. I'm getting one.

 

[Yaboosh]

Err Verge needs to tone it down.

Yeah, no joking, this is serious!

 

[noah111]

Oh Verge.

Huge.
11:08:45 AM PDT
Huge applause.
11:08:37 AM PDT
Tears of joy.

 

[Darko]

I dont get it. What price was everyone expecting to see? $199?

the touch is $299.. anyone expecting anything less then that was kidding themselves.

 

[cyberheater]

Hopefully no more then £250 in the UK.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Google Nexus staff going back to their offices, they were just about to jump out of the window, no need anymore thanks dat apple pricing

I'm sure the Nexus will do very well.



lol.

When we see more than 110k dedicated tablet apps for Android, Android will be relevant in this space. They have a lot of work to do, and Apple doesn't.

Edit: and I think I'll go ahead and upgrade my iPad. I'm sure at most I might lose $50 or $60 on this one. No biggie.

 

[darkwing]

people complaining about the new ipad4? I'm still using the Ipad 1 lol

 

[SlowRevolution]

so when the 5th gen iPad comes out the 3rd gen one won't sell for too much. damn it apple

 

[Gray Man]

Yep. They'll sell them by the truckload to the education market.

Unless it has microsoft office, you are wrong.

 

[ant1532]

iPads are the most unnecessary devices of all time as far as I'm concerned.maybe if they had finder and acted like a computer they would be worth it, but shit, overpriced apple toy

 

[-COOLIO-]

it was not smart to compare it directly to the nexus 7

 

[JackEtc]

Next week at Google's event, watch them reveal a Nexus 7 with a retina-quality display, still priced the same.

THAT would be a real strike at the jugular.

 

[LJ11]

lol @ talking up how quickly they replaced the iPad 3.

That's how good we are!

 

[Jin]

Is the A6 chip the only difference between ipad 3 and 4?

 

[Angst]

I prefer 4:3. But it is pretty funny that Apple claimed the exact opposite at the iPhone launch.

Lol that's true. Apple...

 

[shadyspace]

The best products on Earth. Jesus fucking Christ.

 

[LyleLanley]

Also I'm fucking insulted that they're already introducing a 4th gen iPad. Fuck you again Apple. That will teach me to be an early adopter.

It's 4th gen but it's really not that big of an update from the 3rd gen. I imagine they did this to get the lightning cable in the iPad.

On an unrelated note, it'll be interesting to see what the pricing for this version of the Mini becomes once the iPad Mini 2 comes out.

 

[ari]

Biggest disappointment of the year...still will outsell google for no fucking reason but favoritism and branding. The state of tech is shit.

 

[EleventhDoctor]

330? For fuck's sake man that's amateur.

 

[sikkinixx]

So... new Mini yay, new imac yay, ipad 4 yay

new retina 13" too much

iPad jr too much

 

[Zeth]

I don't need any of this shit, nor do I want it.

I can feel a hundred thousand nerds the nation over convincing themselves that they want this new ipad when they already have an iPad 2/3, iPhone 4/4S/5, and a Kindle.

Yup those are the only people who buy these things /s

 

[Hoo-doo]

This thing will clean the fuck up in the holidays.

 

[lunch]

I only came for iTunes. Where is it Apple?

 

[tnaden]

Meh event for me overall. Good entertaining thread though. Thanks gaf.

 

[Majine]

No iTunes 11? I was robbed.

 

[Chuckl3s]

"My company now, Jobs!"

 

[lowrider007]

Hopefully no more then £250 in the UK.

Don't bet on it, my guess is at least £279.

 

[SnakeXs]

Not even an iTunes mention? WHY

 

[CharminUltra]

LOL @ the "Apple priced themselves out of the market" delusional kids.

The iPad Mini is going to blow the "Nexus" iClone out of the water and then take a dump on whatever is left of its carcass this Christmas.

 

[lunarworks]

Where the heck is iTunes 11

This.

That's what I was waiting for today.

 

[Tobor]

Unless it has microsoft office, you are wrong.

Lol. Good luck, MS.

 

[MThanded]

Where the hell is iTunes.

 

[Toki767]

The real ripoff to Apple's pricing is that they still charge $100 for an extra 16GB of storage.

 

[.GqueB.]

iMac... I think I wants. I don't even needs.

 

[SlowRevolution]

No iTunes?

 

[Sophia]

Overpriced iMac, no Mac Pro refresh, iPad Mini is a bit overpriced, overpriced Mac Mini... and their stock is taking a hit. :\

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Biggest disappointment of the year...still will outsell google for no fucking reason but favoritism and branding. The state of tech is shit.

app store and bigger screen and better build quality is no reason?

Some of you, christ. And I own a nex7 but it aint hard to see the differences.

 

[Ken Masters]

no new iTunes?!?!?



NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[chickdigger802]

Yeah called it. Wasn't gonna be cheaper than iPod touch.

I'll pick this up next year when this model is $220 I guess.
