I had completely forgotten that the iPod Touch existed but, of course... it's the only iPod that they make any more and it's basically a thinner, lighter iPhone SE (sans GPS, NFC, voice/SMS capability obv). I'm sticking with the SE through to late 2019 at least.

New MacBook Air: retina screen, fuck-all ports, headphone on the wrong side. Audience cheering like announcements of yore. Very different feel from the po-faced iPhone events

Wow, a LOT better price than I was expecting, and a nice improvement in general. Will likely order. (Especially given tariff murmurings.)
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 14:36 (five years ago) link
Still a price jump though, huh. God stop talking about fucking Apple Stores I have meetings to get to
― stet, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link
It's a jump but the rumors were indicating some crazy massive jump that was having me rethink a bit. But this is fine from where I sit, at least.

I was hoping for news of a new iMac. Have to see if the mini is a suitable alternative

Can the new MacBook Air run a big 4K monitor in clamshell mode?
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 31 October 2018 10:59 (five years ago) link
june 2017 ipad pro would almost be tempting if they'd bumped the price down. new ipad pro is 760 funbucks and the cheapest apple cover is 85 and that's only for the 8GB model
― ||||||||, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 21:30 (five years ago) link
new air is 20% too expensive
too diffuse a range of products makes it too frustrating to min-max plus post-brexit weakness of the pound has pushed prices uncomfortably high. there's just no sweet spot, as far as I can see in the range
― ||||||||, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 21:31 (five years ago) link
if the new pro started at 128GB for the 760Β£ model and the smart cover 45/55Β£ worked then it might have been the_one

Sell hardware at higher profit margins
― DJI, Friday, 2 November 2018 16:03 (five years ago) link
I'm kind of surprised there isn't, like, an SEC or GAAP requirement for a business that sells a consumer product to state how many units of that product it sells.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 2 November 2018 16:22 (five years ago) link

FWIW, my main book and comic reader is a iPad Mini 3. If I had to get something now, I'd probably get that $329 9" iPad. You don't have to spend iPad Pro money on it.
Physical media won't let me back it up in multiple locations and will be a big problem when climate-change enhanced fires burn all of California down. Portability and redundancy forever!

It's the backing-up-in-multiple-locations thing that's causing climate-change enhanced fires tho.

My 10β Pro is rapidly becoming my main computer. Did all the work on the site from it this morning. I think Iβve used my work Mac for about 20 minutes this week, and that was to pull together a presentation from three other decks. (iOS still sucks horrifically at multiple docs in the same app)
