Apple Event Live Stream - 27 Oct 2016

Thanks for reminding me about this MyBB community. Don't really care about Apple, but I love watching their product announcements.
 
That new trackpad is huge. 2X times bigger. Not sure that was needed
 
Customizable display function Keys on the top of the keyboard. Those leaks were true.
 
Having autocorrect suggestions on the keyboard doesn't make much sense. I type without looking on the keyboard

I think for basic users it is useful. Regular users don't ever look on the keyboard but only on the screen. For me looking at the keyboard will just distract me, not matter how useful the information is.
Also I don't think Apple has researched the eye strain caused by constantly moving you eyes up and down.
 
Typical Apple event ... our new gizmo is thinner, lighter, shinier, a little faster, and has some weird gimmicks which will CHANGE THE WORLD. Oh, and the price is higher (but they never mention that part).

Do we really need our e-mail editor to start suggesting canned replies to us? Is that what human communication has become?
 
Touch bar is interesting but why the hell make it so short?!

Biggest problem is looking away from the screen to use it. Problematic for touch typers.

I think they are trying to compensate for lack of a touch screen.

That DJ demo was pretty absurd. His hand position looked so uncomfortable that he would get carpal tunnel syndrome.
 
At least a good thing that came with the touchbar. Consumers will immediately recognize it and will ask questions why South African stores still sell the old models for years to come

That's what I was thinking. No DJ on Earth is going to perform like that. Never mind the pain it would cause - the room for making mistakes increases exponentially.

It is great for amateurs playing around with music software though.

And that's it? What a waste

Not a bad set of announcements. An Apple TV update, a new MBP and the MBP Air was canned as expected. Pity they didn't update the iMac, but I suppose a change that is purely a spec jump will probably just quietly happen on the online store.

And Final Cut Pro might suck less after the new update.
