Apple Event - Keynote March 2016

[Cassady]

So if all the rumours are to be believed, it's potentially going to be a tad underwheling...

'New' iPad Air >> iPad Pro mini or whatever.
iPhone 5SE.
New watch-bands.

And that's all they have as the supposed 'big' reveals...
Which would admittedly be a bit 'meh'...

Which is why I'm thinking there must surely be something more - either hardware or service related, that's been missed...
So going to be watching with interest...

I reckon iPhone 5se is going to be huge. About 40% of iPhones in use are 4" IIRC (might include smaller 4s etc. too). Definitely a big demand for a smaller iPhone.

Didn't they announced the Mac Book 12" last year (and the had a special the last 2 week at last years price), maybe a new one?

In 20 minutes we get flying cars :twisted:

 

[Sinbad]

Yeah I'm with you there, but not sure it requires a whole new model labelled Pro that is smaller.

Semipro?
Amateur?
Hobbyist?

Alright, so they took the iPhone 6s and stuck it in the body of the iPhone 5 and called it the iPhone SE and then bumped the prices up from the iPhone 5 price. Guess that was expected.

 

[FiestaST]

No 3D Touch as to be expected.

6s innards not 6.

 

[Madhawk]

iPad pro without LTE? What year is this?

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Nothing interested me in that keynote.

So what did you guys think?

Some observations about the iPad Pro; (feel free to add your 2c)

- new 9.7" iPad Pro & there also the 12.9" iPad Pro. Apples naming convention is still rather dumb.

- the Air 2 continues; that's fine. The "iPad Mini" is lowest priced iPad. Mini what? Mini 2; or 4?

- 12mp camera with 4K vid on an iPad...damn

- flagship 256gb storage option means highly likely iPhone 7 duo will have a 256gb option as well

- on the topic of storage iPhone SE with the silly 16/64gb option & iPad Pro (both models) with 32/128/256 go options.

This is a good summary:

seems about right.

iPad pro without LTE? What year is this?

haha... yea that one boggled... but then it was probably too pricey, I wondered how much they actually sold in the current lte version.

overall meh.. Personally for me I am still sold on the Surface
