Let me see what's announced today but I may be interested in that mini Whiskers.

thoiboi wants both, waiting to see what happens in 30 min.
So far, iWatchOS2 & the new iPad has been unveiled from what I've seen. 2732 by 24xx dimensions (I think, I may have misheard the presenter); 5.6 million pixels. A9X chip.

The woman who talked about fashion had a weird dress. I couldn't tell if I was looking at her nipples or if the dress was designed that way.
Also, Just like nobody wants a big phone, huh Steve?

16GB still the base RAM

Any examples? Which reviews say that? The last time Apple was praised and noted for making their phones thinner was the iPhone 4. I will agree, that was a very noticeable and welcome difference. At the moment, the relentless pursuit of aesthetics dictates the entire mobile device market. Yes, a phone absolutely should be nice to look at and hold. But I'd rather have another 300-500 mAh than a 0.1mm thinner phone.

Yeah, who the fuck needs a stylus on a 3" phone. On a 13" computer sure. One that will breakdown to a single pixel.

A RG 6S and a SG 6S+ will be coming to my home shortly!
Tablets and phones are in a completely different place now then they were when that Steve Jobs / stylus pic was taken. Those rules do not apply anymore. Handhelds aren't merely about consumption these days, they create.

Unless you're against anything that's non-Apple, I'm trying to understand why you'd want to buy an iPad Pro over a Surface Pro...or even just a Surface 3. Unless you really want to play iOS games when you aren't being 'productive.'

A TON of people just straight up do not buy MS hardware. Myself included.

Where are you supposed to store the $100 pencil when not using it?

^Are you replacing your 6+ with 6S or 6S+?

How do you get the contract price through Apple's site? Looks like AT&T through Apple's site is either through Next or no contract.

As a real fan of neither, they've tried to copy the SP3, and didn't do a very good job with it, IMO. We'll see how long they stay on this track.

Im not getting into the MS vs Apple fight, but I can tell you that I own and owned a lot of Windows and MS stuff. Apple just gets it right.

The thing that surprised me the most was that they released a gold and rose gold sport watch.

There was a bit I liked today. Going after the carriers with the lease plan is extremely smart. You'll see those carrier numbers plummet. That by far was the best announcement they made today. Basically you're paying $489 a year for a 64GB S+ and put it on whatever carrier you want.
The 6S and 6S+ are as expected, but they really do need to drop the 16GB option. I like that they sought out (or perhaps the other way around) Microsoft for the Office stuff. I think both know that's in their best interests.
I didn't like that they didn't up the RAM in the Mini. It still makes more sense to buy #2. I'm not understanding the appeal of the Pro, as stated above. I want to see more of the TV, but it's a pretty big price jump from the current. The watch is still meh.

6S+ 64gb in space gray for me.
I'm anxious to see how the pictures look. Should be great. One innovative thing on Apple's part is force touch, very curious to see how they implement it.

The iPad pro is aimed at designers and artists. That will be its target market. Something such as the surface is geared towards office yuppies.

The TV is a $50 increase (for 32gb) over the 3G Apple TV for those of us who bought them when they first came out. It's not that big of a deal and see this thing becoming much more as the apps develop. Much like the original iPad.

I work in healthcare, so there's no roads of entry for the iPad, as much as they'd like it to make. With something like the Surface (or any Windows-based tablet) I can remote into work. Can't do that with the iPad, or any Apple product at all. I was looking at a Macbook Pro a couple years ago, and with IE being discontinued for OSX, there wasn't a point of buying a more expensive laptop just to boot into Windows.
I wouldn't mind Apple making nice inroads into the healthcare field, but their prices dictate that's not going to happen. As such, the software that we run isn't going to make an effort to support it.
