There will be no Touch ID on the iPads.
Anyway I just want an iPad 5 with 32GB. iPad 3 sucks with iOS7 so I want an upgrade. Not gonna upgrade to ne tablet then for a while. if I had an iPad 4 I would not care about this event at all.

Oh yeah, this is a good point for non Ameican customers. Apple's Canadian prices for the the iPhones are higher than they were last year. So I'd assume higher Canadian prices for all of today's refreshes, as well.

Not expecting any surprises like any recent apple presser but a keyboard cover would be nice
Fifth generation iPad is the only thing I am interested in. iOS7 basically rendered my iPad 3rd generation useless, it is now slow as ass and the battery drains 10x faster.
The only thing stopping me is the possibility of a TouchID sensor in the iPad. It's not like my prints are on file somewhere, but I am paranoid enough to fucking glue a piece of rubber over the home button if they force TouchID upon me.

I saw that, would be really nice to have but I doubt because of reported supply constraints of the touch ID

Dangit, can't watch the Livestream on my AppleTV since it's on a way old firmware for jailbreaking and Plex.
I guess there will be a browser accessible stream, maybe I can AirPlay it to my ATV.

You can return it for 15 days.
Leaving aside that lowering the price is totally improbable if not impossible... waiting 2-3 days couldn't have hurt.
2gb for ipad 5, 1gb for ipad mini 2
Apple in the past has priced the initial release of a product higher than normal and then lowered on 2nd revision.
They can go fuck themselves if so. Uk Iphone 5s prices are ridiculous, if ipad mini gets a price bump I'm gonna have to hold off for a bit.
I know, the MBA is an example of that but this isn't a revision that's the classic yearly upgrade (unless they actually surprise us with a revision).
mini is less expensive generally so wouldn't get impacted as much. Could bump to £279?
Surprised you can get current models for a decent discount from places like amazon - £232 for a mini is pretty good

TouchID isn't forced upon you.

I just screenshotted all the UK Store pages so I can check for price bumps later. 
Yeah him too lol.
16GB of RAM in the 13"?! Woohoo. I hope it's a bto option for the entry-level models.
Where's the live stream?

I hate tabs refreshing when I go back to them.
no way they're paying for iris pro for anything with a dGPU in it. the latter isn't fast enough to justify it.
I'm looking at the current specs and pricing now... The base model (EDU store) is $2000 and the next one up is $2600. Weird price gap.
I would go with the base model, but according to that link you posted, the base will only have Iris Pro? Lame. Probably will avoid if true.
I thought all Apple computers with a dGPU also had integrated graphics to switch to when the dGPU isn't needed?

We'll see in a few hours, I wouldn't rule it out.
750M with 2 GB GDDR5 is significantly faster for OpenGL/D3D (especially at higher resolutions) while the Iris Pro is faster for compute.
HD4000+ would be enough for that. If you step up to Iris pro you're doing that to avoid the need for a dGPU

Oh man, I might really pull the trigger on this one.
Iris 5100 in the base 13? Sweet. I was worried they would go with the lower tdp hd 5000.
Jesus. Let's not get crazy now.
ah ok.
If I can get a rMBP with dGPU for around $2350 w/ EDU discount I'm going to bite.

My predictions:
- iPad 5, thinner bezel blabla. 2GB RAM, A7X, no touch ID, and bonus: 32 GB starting capacity.
- iPad Mini 2: retina, thicker, 1GB RAM, not A7X. Same price point. No cheap no-retina option.
- Mavericks due next week, 20$ price point.
- No Apple TV, saving it all for next year.
- New iPad cover.
- New Macbook Pro retina.
- New Mac Pros.

Any way to get the stream on Windows (in chrome)? Would a user agent switcher work?
