This is so stupid lol

 

[Nozem]

I'm getting Ravi drums flashbacks

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

How did he connect that beats pro into a that MacBook with all USB c ports?

 

[LostMyNarbles]

I know USB-C is the future and all, but it seems really stupid that anyone who wants to physically connect their iPhone to their new MacBook Pro is going to need an adapter. They really should have switched the iPhone to USB-C this year.

 

[Feel the Swift]

USB-C is just USB. aside from mouse and keyboard, most devices is simply a different cable. Most devices don't have a hardwired USB plug.



USB-C proprietary? lol. troll confirmed.

You still have to buy a new cable for your devices. People are just choosing to call them dongles because it's easier

 

[radios shipping overview]

Considering most people who DJ live are already going to have a hardware controller... this is a feature for the wannabes.

 

[Fuchsdh]

I wonder if Apple will ever revisit this concept considering what MS did yesterday.

I don't see it happening for years. It solves their "no one wants to poke a vertical screen all day" dilemma but macOS is in no way ready for touch.

 

[Toki767]

He's pressing so hard on the touch bar.

 

[SynthFetish]

Which looks incredibly useful.

¯_(&#12484_/¯ I don't get it. Granted I don't entirely get the touch bar, and both will be ridiculed to no end because reasons.

But anything that pushes things forward is good by me.

 

[faisal233]

Router? What?

Ethernet to usbc cable exists?

 

[bionic77]

Which looks incredibly useful.

Outside of drawing what is it useful for?

Bradee Evans da GOAT

how dare you kick her off stage

She was great. Best presenter (including Apple execs) I can remember they've had at one of these things since Jobs.

 

[Avallon]

I just want the price and release date at this point.

Actually, that's what I wanted all along.

 

[uncleslappy]

No creative professional is ever going to use this stupid thing.

 

[gimmmick]

Having grown up with a lot of Gen X cousins that were actual djs back in the late 80s and early 90s, this is laughable what people are labeling djs.

 

[dorn.]

Oh god this is really all they will be showing tonight.

 

[BluenoseGames]

This has kinda turned me off wanting a Macbook Pro

 

[Joel Was Right]

I can't wait to see the YouTube mashup video of this and the Surface presentation yesterday.

 

[Mortemis]

Might as well be with the amount of laptops utilizing it that aren't Apple.

So basically most laptops that come out nowadays?

 

[Sesuadra]

He's pressing so hard on the touch bar.

Maybe he is angry at it

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

How did he connect that beats pro into a that MacBook with all USB c ports?

Courage

 

[cheezcake]

Eh, if you say so.

I think anyone sane would say so to be honest

 

[Ensirius]

I just want the price and release date at this point.

They need to talk about pencil integration with the trackpad

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Is this a Nintendo conference now?

Miyamoto and Bill stole Apple essence to create the Switch and gave them the old Nintendo essence

 

[biosnake20]

DJ Courage

 

[Totakeke]

Why would you not use that huge amount of space on the monitor.

 

[Living the Dream]

 

[icespide]

I know USB-C is the future and all, but it seems really stupid that anyone who wants to physically connect their iPhone to their new MacBook Pro is going to need an adapter. They really should have switched the iPhone to USB-C this year.

it's kind of an awkward situation because they could include a USB-C to Lightning cable with the iPhone but then the vast majority of regular USB users would be fucked. Probably cost prohibitive to include both

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

That was stupid as hell.

 

[Gengahrrr]

 

[wachie]

The DJ is jamming us all to sleep.

Wooooooo!

 

[D4Danger]

DJ Courage

lol

 

[uncleslappy]

Liquidate apple stock.

 

[GitarooMan]

lol I turn this thing on and some guy is scratching with the touch bar. Do these companies realize that the vast majority of people don't give a flying shit about this stuff.

 

[subrock]

Actual Video editors won't use this.
Actual Djs won't use this.

It's going to be pretty much exclusively for skipping songs and changing the volume just like the current keyboard keys

 

[Stat Flow]

Jesus this is bad

 

[Dany]

I wonder if they will have a dongle packed in for usb c to usb 2.0 or whatever. How else can I charge my iphone or ipad on it???

 

[StudioTan]

Ok, seriously though, I thought the touch bar might be neat but the more I watch this the more I think it's just a huge compromise for just not having a touch screen which would be much easier to use for all this stuff.

It just seems so clunky to use.

 

[DoubleYou]

This demo is kind of shitty but as a music producer I'm actually pretty excited about this.

 

[def sim]

now i'm not a dj but this also looks like he's making his job tougher than it needs to

 

[yoonshik]

One year waiting for the new macs... :facepalm

 

[radios shipping overview]

ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT

 

[dc89]

I don't see it happening for years. It solves their "no one wants to poke a vertical screen all day" dilemma but macOS is in no way ready for touch.

I think that patent surfaced a good 6/7 years ago.
I think Snow Leopard was out at the time and that introduced super high resolution app icons and I remember all sorts of crazy things theorising that OS was gonna run on that machine.
crazy.

 

[Leona Lewis]

BOTH HANDS WOW

Karim so powerful

 

[DataStream]

This is fucking awful

 

[Owari]

So so far everything theyve demoed with the touchbar can be achieved easier and more eloquently with the keyboard and trackpad.

 

[MicH]

This is awful. They're doing a terrible job selling the Touch Bar

 

[Frustrated_me]

This is so bad

 

[Borinot]

this stupid touch should be located on top of the trackpad, that would be usefull. That shit they are showing is like an update of a 90's keyboard with shortcuts to the IE and MAIL or Search.


i had to stop the presentention, it was so embarrasing.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Far more useful than this laughable touchbar.

Not really. I could use this touchbar for you know, customizing my function keys. That alone is more useful than a huge dial that is only useful if you're a digital artist anyway.

For me personally, the dial would have zero value.
