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

Whiskers

thoiboi wants both, waiting to see what happens in 30 min.

I hate how you can only watch the live event from an Apple device.. or Windows 10. I have neither.

So far, new (bigger) ipad, new apple watch designs and styles...

I think one website said Safari's browser is the only one that works if you have neither, though I think waiting for someone to release the conference to YouTube is a better option.

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.

I think the iPad Pro is pretty cool.

AZuser

As did others...

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.

Costco

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.

Also, Just like nobody wants a big phone, huh Steve?

I'm not installing iOS 9 on the 16th and having it fuck up my phone and/or itunes again. I'll wait til they fix the bugs.


I will be getting the grey 6S though.

doopstr

16GB still the base RAM

jupitersolo

Lame....

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.

CocheseUGA

That's dumb to limit your options and perhaps needlessly expend more money.

Whiskers

All works for me.

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

Not dumb at all. It's a choice everyone gets to make. I've never been "wowed" by any hardware MS has ever made.

CocheseUGA

'I won't buy X even if it works the same and is half as much.'

OK.

Costco

Probably to drop the starting price to a very appealing $199. Most users won't and shouldn't opt for the 16gb.

doopstr

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

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

MS can take the surface and shove it. If Apple had beat them to the content creating market first the Surface would have failed like most of the MS products that came before it.

Meh the S6 and LG G4 are $200 or less on contract and come with 32GB.

Whiskers

Who's in line if my buyer doesnt come through?

doopstr

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

Doom878

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.

CocheseUGA

But, they weren't?

Apple is rarely first to anything anymore.

Whiskers

6s+

Sarlacc

Who gives a fuck so does what first? It's about who does it best.

Decades of MS, and I can say that imo they suck. And I no longer have ms anything. That's my preference based on experience.

Mizouse

What about AT&Ts website? I heard they like other carriers are getting rid of contracts

CocheseUGA

I wasn't the one who brought it up. Good for you, I suppose.

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.

Whiskers

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.

doopstr

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

CocheseUGA

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.

Costco

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.

Sarlacc

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.

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.

CocheseUGA

I'm looking more at current pricing. It's $80+. That's pretty steep, so I want to see just how worth it these apps are. The gaming holds little importance with me having consoles.

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.

Costco

That's one thing underrated thing Apple does. They tell the carriers to go pound sand, and therefore aren't at the mercy of their bloatware and other BS. I've always liked that, and the lease plan is indeed a great idea.
