I sure hope there isn't any chineese people talking over for half the time.

Oh my God, don't even get me started on that...

Yay Craig.

Pretty meh so far.  Although I am excited to install Yosemite when I get home this evening.

6.1mm iPad....wow!

[jamisonshaw125]

iPad confirmed. iMac with retina display. So many pixels! incredible.

[MacinJosh]

That iMac is gorgeous! But I'm sure not buying one anytime soon. If someone wants to donate one to me, I won't turn it down, though!

I'm happy they finally updated the mini, though it's too late for me as I ended up finding a good deal on an older iMac instead when I needed a new one earlier this year.

 

Can't believe there still hasn't been an Apple TV update.  

[nobius]

Not that it's a surprise, but the iPad Air 2 Cellular model will have Spark: https://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/

 

 

It is a surprise though, that the new iPad mini 3 will not have Spark.

[anthony.spina97]

I'm confused as to what's different between the iPad Mini 2 and the iPad Mini 3? All I see is the 3 gets Touch ID, more LTE bands, and a gold color option. No A8, no reduction in size, weight, or thickness, and no upgraded display. What was the point of calling it a third generation? This is probably the worst incremental upgrade that I have ever seen Apple do. I'm very disappointed with this. I guess the mini is taking a backseat to the original iPad, yet again.

Edit: apparently, the mini 3 doesn't even have Spark support. EVEN WORSE!

[nobius]

Looking at the comparison page, you're right.  They should just drop the number thing anyway.  Everyone knows there's a new one each year.

 

And I looked more closely at the LTE page and the mini 3 still does not have Spark.  Only B25/B26 bands.

I'm excited for that new Mac Mini. I'd love to buy that mid-range one for the processor, drop in a SSD and 16GB of RAM, and get to Monoprice and buy a 4K display.

 

Or, jut plunk down the $2500 for the new 5k iMac. Yeesh. That's a lotta computer. LOL

Now that the iPad Air 2 has Band 41 support for Spark, hopefully Marcelo has some revised tablet data plans to introduce.

 

Yeah, the iPad Mini 3 is a letdown. No Spark? What's up with that? Guess it didn't make the cut-off in the design stage.

 

The Apple TV is still rocking a single core A5.... Jeezus... Not even a peep from them. Sad.

iPad mini 3 is a horrible upgrade. I would have bought one if it had Spark. Guess I'll just keep rocking my 1st gen iPad mini.

I won't be surprised if their will be an "IPad for life program" same deal and criteria as the iPhone 6

[nobius]

If this is true I may get the LTE version.

I just configured a $3,250 iMac 5k. That escalated quickly.

 

3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz

32GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB

3TB Fusion Drive

AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2GB GDDR5

Apple Magic Mouse

Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide

Accessory Kit

 

The RAM is not user-upgradable, so that's an additional $600 for 32GB. Yeezus.

LOL @ Legere jumping on this like it's his genius idea.

 

 

If #Apple offered one SIM that works on multiple carriers in the new iPads, they'd be so #uncarrier!! Wait.. What?! They do?! #YEEESSSSS

[sbolen]

Interestingly, it looks like Verizon was left off the custom SIM party. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile in the US Only...

I wrote Marcelo to suggest this program a week ago.... We'll see soon I hope!

The only thing holding me back from buying a cellular version iPad is the tablet data/ plan options. I personally don't understand why Sprint doesn't offer an unlimited plan on tablets, I feel both tablets and phones will use the same amount of data.

 

Now if sprint can offer an iPad for life program with unlimited data or 10gbs for a reasonable cost then I will probably get one other than that I'll just buy the wifi version.

[WiWavelength]

So, the only gains for the iPad mini 3 are Touch ID and new finish colors?  Is that really all?  Bwahaha!  I am glad I bought my iPad mini 2 both on sale and with Reward Zone certificates six months ago.  Makes me look smart.
