Increasingly Familiar Apple Lust Objects for 2016 and onwards

would've been easier to just go with "what the hell is going on with your pants"

I expect that was the highest quality response Steve Jobs ever gave to someone who tried to insult his representation of Java's level of integration into the concept of Open Doc during a public Q&A.

So I guess everyone else is pretty nonplussed by the event today? I think I'm still gonna stick with my 11Pro.

I am waiting for ilxor Jeff’s assessment before making any big decisions

so did they end up not adding a temperature sensor to the watch, or did it just not make it through federal approval yet? I want it to alert me if I might have a virus

iPad mini looks perfect for me, except the mini 5 is perfectly fine and so I don’t need it. It’s so hard to care about the rest of the incremental grind on show

I'm probably going to trade in my Xs for a 13Pro, but enh... no big hurry at the moment

Yeah... also XS owner here, if the trade-in is good enough I'd be tempted to bite on a 13 vanilla or mini

I’m only interested in camera sensor size. So the question for me is whether there is again a difference between the pros.

Guess they’re the same. and the regular models get last years pro max sensor, nice.

sticking with my 6s until they really change something

i am disappointed TouchID isn't back in the phones yet though

actually excited for this one...

coming out strong with, er, "voice plan"

they always start with the worst stuff but good grief

mac pros or gtfo (i will not buy a mac pro)

they cannot resist keeping old products around these days, it's segmentation all the way down with this crew

32gb booooooo!

lol pro

m1 pro meh. m1 max is more like it.

Why Max over Pro?

it's more

what else i'm looking for: wait and see but pro sounds like it might only support two (maaaaybe 4?) thunderbolt ports again. max will certainly support 4 (maybe 8).

show the bloody computer already

I don't even know what a thunderbolt port is so maybe I'm more of a pro guy -- or are you saying people need 64gb ram? (I am at 16 on my current mbp)

they have been very careful throughout to mention notebooks only. no mention of macs or mac pros. will be surprised if there's not an imac pro though.

HDMI

thunderbolt is physically the same port as usb 3. the current m1 macs are limited by the chip (not laptop size) to two usb 3 ports. i personally don't care, but it's an ongoing complain. these new chips will hopefully raise that limit.

MAGSAFE

damn they listened

magsafe is back again awooooo

THIC

v THIC so no fans?

lol guess not

sd card and magsafe niiiiice

very good ports

only 3 usb c ports but the addition of magsafe makes that ok imo (and the usb c's still support power delivery)

very nice display

max is an option in 14 and 16" so we may not be getting macs today

oof $

Fans too. And a camera notch FUCK OFF.

I work closely enough with the data scientists at work that I might be able to swing requesting one of these bad boys

If Apple can now recognise text in images..... can it index that metadata for Spotlight??

Spotlight can’t even index my home folder

the notch on the new pro book displays is hilarious

I don’t see why the notch is a big deal to people, the middle part of the menu bar is dead space anyway.

I have never watched a movie on a laptop, though, because I’m not a disgusting savage.

Exactly 0 % of display real estate is extraneous

Then you will like the notch because it means the bit below the menu bar is 16:10 and more pixels than without the notch.

Basically you have the same screen space you had before, but you no longer lose a strip at the top to a menu bar.
