Hell yeah especially at $270.. It's a really dope iPad. Has multitasking. I love mine.

Um, no.

iPad Mini 4 starts at 399 USD.

 

[Blablurn]

iirc it has the same if not very similar internals as the Air 2. With a superior quality screen over Mini 2 & 3.
So I think it is literally a Mini Air 2.

Hell yeah especially at $270.. It's a really dope iPad. Has multitasking. I love mine.

It's a great device. The iPad Air 2 is a better deal at the same price since it has a tri-core SoC instead of dual-core but they're pretty similar in most other respects.

It is very much worth buying, and it comes with the official Huelen seal of approval for 8 inch tablets.

That goes without saying, but the great thing is the power pass-through. It's always been a mess to have hubs connected to the thing just to power MIDI device cables enough to work, not anymore.

Cheers!

Sounds good

No watch body improvement and no 12-inch MacBook update is disappointing. Did they basically just announcing more sizes of existing products?

How do you improve perfection (design wise)?

Apple is beholden to Intel when it comes to the MacBook line. If the hardware isn't ready, then they can't just make a product happen.

It's probably why they really think the iPad Pro line is the future of computing. They have a lot more control over the internals.

The Samsung Face Ring is better than the Digital Crown IMO.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Maybe I'll sell my Air 2 and get a pro. I don't use anywhere close to the 64gb I have so the 32 should be fine for me.

 

[hEist]

so, no "new" (using already the beta) watchfaces for the watch? god damn, then let me make one by myself.

 

[Owari]

So the SE works with the old cases, correct? Can anyone recommend one that gives more rounded edges?

 

[subrock]

lol $279 for the black milanese loop. I'll keep my rubber on thanks Apple.

 

[icespide]

128gb 9.7 inch iPad pro is $562 with my employee discount. was thinking the 32gb but I may just go for 128

I wonder if they will pass Intel come a10.

UK pricing on the Apple Watch is laughable

£259 for the 38mm sport seems pretty good? £299 for the 42mm

It's worth it. I have the bigger Pro, it replaced my PC and laptop.

 

[kfpkiller]

First time I won't upgrade my iPad since the iPad 2.
700€ fuck off apple.

 

[Rafy]

489€ here in Spain.

Fuck that.

Same price in France...

I might have considered going back to iOS for the first time since my iPhone 3G, just for the stance they've adopted regarding encryption, but not at that price.

When I first saw the 399$ price tag I thought, "This is what the 5C should have been" and then I checked the Italian site and was disappointed once again.

Upgrade to a mini 4

 

[Muzy72]

So uhh, anyone want to buy a 64GB iPad Air 2 with Smart Case for $400? It's in perfect condition but I lost the box.

What color?

 

[mrklaw]

just ordered a pencil in case they go out of stock next week.

With the increased price of the new ipad I'm almost tempted to look at a used 12" one, they seem heavily discounted - in fact looking around I can see the 32GB going for the same price as the 32GB 9.7"

probably a bit too big, but at least then the keyboard would be full size, and video would look great on it.

 

[Muzy72]

Space Grey

 

[Guess Who]

Lightning to USB-C cable for all y'all 12" MacBook owners.

http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0X2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-c-cable-1-m

Can be used with the MacBook's 29W USB-C charger to charge iPad Pros faster.

 

[kfpkiller]

Upgrade to a mini 4

Maybe I wasn't clear, I've had every iPad since the iPad 2, now on the air 2.
But I won't upgrade this time, the price is too ridiculous here in France.

 

[Diablohead]

basic SE is £359, eh, I need to replace the broken battery in my 5 but maybe not straight away.

 

[Roberto Larcos]

iPhone SE is 509 Euro here in Italy for 16 GB... I might have considered it at 400, but definitely not at 500!

489€ here in Spain.

Fuck that.

$399 = €355. Even after you add 20% tax, Europe is getting shafted (again).

I am wondering what Apple did to make that phone so cheap. It looks super nice as the 5s was an amazing phone. The size is great. I have one that work gave me. It's better to wield than my 6s+. I bet it has 1gig ram. My 6s+ has 2 gigs and ios9 flies on it. Should wait for some reviews first but that's probably what they cut. Still great phone at a nice price.

Yup, assuming 3D Touch is the ONLY thing missing from the SE, I'll "downgrade" from my 6s+.

If it has 2GB of RAM... I kinda want it.

I love small phones.

Price is cheap because:

1) No 3D Touch display.
2) Reuse of components and manufacturing processes they've had for four years that are probably very cheap for them at this point.

 

[Afrodium]

$600 is pretty steep for a device that will allow me to do everything I currently do on my iPad Air but a bit faster. I'm putting that cash towards a PSVR tomorrow and will have $100 to spare.

 

[dc89]

The 128GB 9.7" Pro is £619 here. Ouch. The Apple tax on storage is still absurd.

I know
I would legit replace my Mini 2 if it was £50-70 cheaper.

 

[Zeyphersan]

It doesn't have Wi-Fi MIMO or the second-gen TouchID either

 

[tiredheadcrab]

It has 2gigs of ram!! Hot damn that is worth it. You can live without 3D Touch. It's nice but it's not really a must have thing right now.

 

[icespide]

oof the faster TouchID is a huge deal. if you never had a 6S you wouldn't know what you're missing but it would be really hard to downgrade

 

[Lexxism]

So, is the body frame of SE is pretty much like the 5s but with 4" screen instead?

 

[Zeyphersan]

Pretty much. I have no idea why they don't have it, it can't be that expensive?

 

[Guess Who]

The 5S had a 4" screen. The body is literally identical to the 5S body (except the edges are matte instead of shiny).

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

oof the faster TouchID is a huge deal. if you never had a 6S you wouldn't know what you're missing but it would be really hard to downgrade

Might be an improvement depending on your uses. Sometimes the new TouchID is 'too fast' never have enough time to see the time or possibly use the camera shortcut, have to relearn turning on the phone with the sleep/wake button.

How cheap will the air 2 get? I want a 64 FB to upgrade from my 16gb air one

 

[Zeyphersan]

How cheap will the air 2 get? I want a 64 FB to upgrade from my 16gb air one

$499 USD for 64GB currently. When the 9.7" Pro 2 comes out I expect them to drop the Air 2 entirely

 

[Floex]

Just catching up, did they mention if the new mini can now do split screen?

 

[HUELEN10]

Just catching up, did they mention if the new mini can now do split screen?

No new Mini was announced.

 

[Aurizen]

Is the update for ios out for anyone out yet?

 

[Sir Abacus]

iPad Mini 4 can, yes.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

They just dropped the price of the iPad Air 2. 64 GB is now $499.

 

[giga]

9.3 is out

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

It doesn't have Wi-Fi MIMO or the second-gen TouchID either

Oh shit... that sucks. Thanks for the heads up. I can absolutely deal without the fast Wifi - but 1st-gen Touch ID is a huge step backwards :-/

I'm in the market for a new laptop, I have mostly Apple products at home, and I need something to take on the road that has good battery life, a nice screen and good keyboard.

The laptop will be used mostly for writing, is there any reason to not think seriously about buying the MacBook from last year?

 

[Lexxism]

The 5S had a 4" screen. The body is literally identical to the 5S body (except the edges are matte instead of shiny).

Ah, thanks for clarification. So, it's pretty much a 5s but with matte edges and upgraded specs. Okay, thank you.

It's underpowered. Wait for this year's refresh.

 

[Laekon]

$420 for a refurb. No reason not to save $80.
