Well I guess I got what I wanted out of the deal. iPad Pro 9.7" - not happy about the price hike but whatever, I guess.
I thought it was fine. I wasn't expecting big products announcements here.
For me, the two hardware announcements make sense (which the Pro or Watch don't for me). I'll definitely be getting the SE unless there's something major in the 7, and I could imagine myself using the smaller Pro with that pencil and a reasonable screen size.
I don't know what people were expecting to be honest.

Well. As I already own an iPhone 6S+ I'm good in that department, but I would love to own an iPad pro. The stylus stuff just really excites me as someone who loves to draw and wants a way to do it better on-the-go.
I might have to give serious consideration to the 32GB model, even though I use a 128GB phone. I'll just have to be more conservative about what I use the iPad for.

worse than ipod socks and hifi?
That kind of turns me off of it to be honest.
Didn't expect one.
Unless they do a major overhaul, like last year's MacBook, they quietly announce Mac upgrades under the radar.

Macbook or MBP? The Macbook was introduced last year.
Category meaning product category. Nobody that has a 6s+ is going to be wowed by this announcement. Could have been a website update saying "that thing you already have had for 6 months is available in small now"

Scary thought.
No. Apple will continue their doublethink.

Microsoft is like:
Wow, thanks for the free advertising!
Apparently a 5-year-old PC compares to the iPad Pro!

This is the longest time for Intel to give a real upgrade to its HQ CPUs.
They're coming at WWDC like always.

No rMB upgrade makes me very disappointed

remember that they had a keynote that introduced the following products:
- intel processors for mac minis
- the ipod hifi (in case you don't remember, this was a boombox for your iphone. it was not good)
- end of event

Apple literally said they believe iPad is the future of personal PC.
People need to understand that its somewhat true, especially on usage base. Majority of people use cpus for web browsing, email, games, and pictures/movies etc...
All which can be done even more efficiently on a tablet.
There will always be desktops and laptops. Professionals crave this hardware. The strongest computers are always used to create stronger models. But the usage base of the general population, they only need tablets.
No new Macbooks are dissapointing.
Also, the iPad Pro could easily be the future of personal computers if it had the software. It doesn't so it can't be a working computer for me but it has everything it needs I think.
If you just use your computer to go online then it's more than enough.

Urgh, no Skylake updates...I hope they silently add it to the web store soon, they're pretty late to it.

So, exactly what every rumor site said all along. There were no surprises, but this is what we'd been hearing for weeks now.

If the new iPad Pro was $499 I'd probably replace my Air, but that extra $100 really annoys me.

I think you're the only one who interpreted it that way.

Speaking the new MacBook from last year, i kind of wonder how that fits into Apple's vision for the future of PCs... They squarely said in this that:
[The iPad Pro] is the way we think that personal computing is going
Sort of wonder where the MacBook from last year fits into that vision of the future.
Macbooks aren't going anywhere as long as they are the only way to make IOS apps. You can't use Xcode on an iPad.

The only hiccup I have is with random gov forms (pls die XFDL) or the odd app buuuut I'm installing Remote Desktop soon which will erase these issues completely. The benefits hugely outweigh the cons but ymmv. Going back to OS X after two months of iPad pro exclusively made me appreciate how quick and streamlined certain process are on iOS. It just needs some kind of dedicated document/file center that every app can access.

Lol some people with lofty expectations, should've lowered them when it was going to be a small event in their on-campus stage.
Pro of course. Who gives a fuck about that small shit.
Have they announced new pros at wwdc in a while? I can only think about the new 15" last year and that one had a year old processor iirc.
that was your clincher huh
can you do programming in Ipads? install an IDE and do coding?

If they really do phase out laptops, how exactly do they propose that people continue to develop apps for the iOS ecosystem? You can't run XCode on an iPad.
Exactly! The Stack Overflow survey just showed that OSX is the most common platform being used by developers right now, be it for Apple related apps or otherwise.

I wonder if Apple wants to drop the Macbook and move people over to using iPad Pro's over the next 5 to 10 year period. It seems like the Macbook has really taken a backseat at Apple's events and this event had them repeatedly highlighting how the iPad Pro can replace your PC/Laptop.

Besides my gaming PC for... gaming... the iPad Pro (w/ keyboard case) has replaced all of my personal computer needs. I don't even use my Macbook anymore.

Nope, I don't think anybody does remember that one....... And it will be replaced by this one as the forgotten Apple event
