5 year old PC hardware could get by with maybe a RAM and SSD upgrade.

SSD is the biggest underrated innovation in computing hardware IMO.

Can raise CPUs from the dead.

 

[kiguel182]

600 million PCs are over 5 years old.

Makes me jealous of PC users as my 2011 MacBook lays dead

My 2011 MacBook Pro is still running strong here.

 

[subrock]

Hey! My pc is over 5 years old, fuck you Phil!

My iMac is 5 years old, fuck you Phil!

 

[Chuckl3s]

Phil really does a good job.

Best in the bunch by far.

He is! Sounds like he actually practice what he was going to say.

 

[ekim]

Am I naive hoping for a "one more thing"?

Btw- when's the launch for the SE? Did I miss it?

 

[dracula_x]

With Apple Watch and iPhone SE over with, and 9.7" iPad Pro happening now, with a whole other hour of this event to fill, I've got to wonder what the hell they have planned for the rest of this event.

updated MacBooks probably and OS X 10.11.4

 

[Dreadnought]

Am I naive hoping for a "one more thing"?

Btw- when's the launch for the SE? Did I miss it?

Next week

 

[serenewarfare]

Huh, this seems interesting I guess.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Not interested in TrueTone
A9X + four speakers..now it just needs pencil

 

[TheCarrotKiller]

Hey this tech is actually really cool! Will look forward to it.

 

[dc89]

Wow that is pretty clever.

 

[Guess Who]

Am I naive hoping for a "one more thing"?

Btw- when's the launch for the SE? Did I miss it?

Today.

 

[HUELEN10]

Phil really does a good job.

Best in the bunch by far.

I fucking love Phil.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

hmmmm I have a ipad air 1 and should upgrade

Need pricing before thinking about 9.7 Pro, Worst case scenario, I go to a Air 2

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Crowd is like a Trump rally.

"600 million PCs that are over 5 years old"

"BOOOOOO!"

"New nylon wrist watch!"

"YAAYAYYAYAHAHAHAHAHHAHYAYYAYYA"

Watch them start asking Google to pay for their OS upgrades.

PS Apple stock just dropped $1 since the hardware announcements started.

 

[Two Words]

Now my iPad won't be so starting in the strip club!

 

[Owari]

Apple shocked at the idea of a 6-year-old PC still working well for people.

The fact that Windows 10 runs better on many 6-year-old PCs than Windows 7 probably confuses Apple.

Operating Systems that get less bloated over the years? Impossible!

 

[entremet]

He is! Sounds like he actually practice what he was going to say.

He's an old timer. He's been at Apple for decades.

 

[Plum]

I use a refurbished Thinkpad from 6 or so years ago with W10 for all my school work.

A-am I sad?

 

[CronoShot]

Why have they explained this true tone thing twice

 

[thecouncil]

"It's quite a breakthrough."
...
"please clap."

 

[Ensirius]

Am I naive hoping for a "one more thing"?

Btw- when's the launch for the SE? Did I miss it?

I think they will surprise us with something.

 

[SuperSah]

The true-tone screens seem pretty useful.

 

[kiguel182]

I need to replace my MacBook Pro. I also need money. Apple will only help with one of these things.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Thinking its time to retire the old iPhone 5 since I can't even have a feature like night shift. Why does that need new architecture? I

 

[mrklaw]

solid upgrade to the air 2.

$100 bump plus likely exchange rate correction for the UK is going to hurt though.

 

[Oppo]

Lmao nobody is replacing their PCs with a tablet with mobileOS

Apple, I love you, but the iPad is most certainly not a replacement for a PC...

they 100% are. you need to think about the larger population with older folks who know how to use an iPad but not Windows. there's a lot of them.

 

[friskykillface]

Need pricing before thinking about 9.7 Pro, Worst case scenario, I go to a Air 2

that too, ipad air 2 will drop in price

we need the $$$$$$ price , show us

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

I'm a big Apple fan; but I have to admit, this feels like a natural progression of the iPad Air. Seems like a slamdunk way to just start charging $100 extra for what could have been a standard yearly update, especially after a more than two-year gap since the last Air release.

 

[serenewarfare]

Why have they explained this true tone thing twice

Uhh... they didn't?

 

[Megabat]

Uh, uh, okay this color-temperature thing pretty much rules.

 

[EmiPrime]

Hope the speakers don't vibrate so much that the screen is uncomfortable to use like with the Air 2.

 

[gimmmick]

I'm using a 2010 macbook pro to type this and is my daily driver, screw you Phil.

 

[LilJoka]

iPhone SE day one, goodbye 6S.

 

[HUELEN10]

He called out the 360, Damn!

 

[BAW]

So what is the resolution on the new Ipad?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

But how much RAM Phil?

 

[Fuchsdh]

Apple shocked at the idea of a 6-year-old PC still working well for people.

The fact that Windows 10 runs better on many 6-year-old PCs than Windows 7 probably confuses Apple.

More like they'd really like people to upgrade their iPads like they do their phones. Instead they seem to be stuck on a long PC-like upgrade cycle.

 

[Zombie James]

"That more than a console released 11 years ago!"

 

[Interfectum]

Apple, I love you, but the iPad is most certainly not a replacement for a PC...

Err if you aren't a PC gamer and you want a "PC" for web, email and documents the iPad can most certainly replace a PC.

 

[JABEE]

Xbox 360 getting a call out

 

[SteveO409]

Never thought I would hear the word "xbox 360" in 2016 but that just happened

 

[Chittagong]

Stronger than Xbox 360 confirmed

 

[Sesuadra]

they 100% are. you need to think about the larger population with older folks who know how to use an iPad but not Windows. there's a lot of them.

^this. my mother will replace her lenovo laptop with an ipad this year.

 

[HighResTomato]

I use a refurbished Thinkpad from 6 or so years ago with W10 for all my school work.

A-am I sad?

Lol at comparing iPad to 10 year old 360.

 

[sk3]

"More than enough grunt in processing power"

Next Year:
"2x more power! That old one is shit! Upgrade immediately! How did you ever live without this speed?!"

 

[dc89]

I hate it when they compare the graphic capability of a iPad/iPhone to a home console.
Just stop.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

12 cores of graphics!

 

[EarsOfASnake]

Thinking its time to retire the old iPhone 5 since I can't even have a feature like night shift. Why does that need new architecture? I

Because it does...it just does.

We are in the same boat, I will be retiring my 5 for an SE.

 

[Guess Who]

So what is the resolution on the new Ipad?

Almost certainly 2048x1536, same as other 9.7" iPads.

But how much RAM Phil?

A9X is 4GB.
