Apple.ca says the iPad starts at $299 but I don't see any brand new $299 iPad and the iPad 2 is still $419 (Canadian Price) to start. Could they have accidentally the iPad Mini price?
 

The Real Abed

I'm feeling really scared for that iPad 7" rumor. I still hope it's real. And that it comes in the same color choices as the iPod touch does. Damn I could use a red one. Or is it pink? Well, I guess it could be red if it's a Product Red. (I don't know the proper stylization of the name) A colored iPad 7" would be day one for me to replace my iPad 2. I like that the front is not colored too. That'd be distracting. It looks really nice with the white front and the ring of color around the edge. We'd be lucky to get iPad's in colors at all, whether it's 7" or 10", but I can dream, right?

So has Apple said anything about how much ram iPod touch 5 has? Is the camera despite only having a 5MP as good as te 4S 8MP camera?

It's the same on the UK store. It says that the iPad starts from £249 but the iPad 2 costs £329. Hmm.
 
Wait, you can download the new iTunes from here NOW? http://www.apple.com/itunes/new-itunes/

So the new iPods, even the charcoal-back one, have white glass fronts? No black fronts for iPods anymore? Weird if so, since the charcoal iPod Nano has a black glass front..

Also, the home buttons on the iPod Touch's are different, the shape lining is chromified now.

[edit] Never mind, there's still black glass with the darkest iPod;

New iPod touch 64Gb is the same price as the iPad 2 in the UK. Big difference in the storage, but that still seems way overpriced. For not much more you can probably get a sim free 4S used

there is a black front on them, or at least one of them. Look at the pics on the site.

Switch this video to 1080p and you simply can't deny the beauty of the black iphone 5:

4S Looks better to me.


I don't really keep up with dedicated mp3 players. What kind of prices are android-based mp3 players that give full access to Google Play going for? A lot less?

You can buy an Xperia S which will knock it out the door spec wise for £330 never mind a dedicated Media player.

It was pretty clear there wasn't going to be an iPad Mini announcement since there weren't any leaked photos of components.

When pics leaked some time ago I thought they couldn't be real because it looked like a cheap knock-off. In the video it's a bit better than on The Verge's pictures but still a strange design decision.

the dark charcoal look isn't as bad as the plain aluminum. I still think the glass back looks better overall. But, if I had to choose, the black back looks so much better than the silver anodized aluminum, imo

I like the all black.

In the end, this is the biggest iPhone disappointment since the 3GS if you ask me. As a 4S owner, I can comfortably say I'll have no envy for the people who upgrade.

And they jack up the no contract price for Canada.

Current gen is $649 -> $699
last gen is $549-> $599.
Last last gen is $375 -> $450

£529 for the basic iPhone 5, so they've jacked the price a little bit (was £499). 8GB iPhone 4 is £319 which is pretty nice

Whoa it really is beautiful.
That black one... omg.

I would get one if I didn't have a 64gig model already. :/

LTE alone makes it a massive upgrade. I don't know how people can survive on 3G, when I am out of LTE coverage life sucks.

Other than that though this is a massive disappointment, nothing even remotely interesting or innovative.

Don't iPads generally get announced in the spring? Did anyone really think there was going to be iPad stuff at this conference?

The iPad 4 will come next Spring. The iPad mini... really should have come out before the Nexus 7. Really there is zero reason for Apple to delay the iPad mini. Steve Jobs is already you know, not running the show.

holy fuck that lightning adapter is expensive. hopefully it won't take too long for monoprice to come out with a reasonably priced adapter
 
They really needed a killer app to showcase the iphone 5's speed bump, especially considering it's only a modest increase of 2x. Shame they couldn't have Epic demo something, IB1&2 really helped sell the graphical prowess of previous Iphones/Ipads.

They do have to have time to manufacture the thing.
