I didn't realize the conversion rates were so bad, no wonder the Florida Mall Apple Store is always filled with British tourists buying hardware, I don't blame you guys.
Maybe they expected her to play Born To Die or something lmao
The old Macbook Air is their entry-level product.
The 12" Macbook is their ultraportable notebook.
I'm really surprised they kept the Pro with no Touch Bar around. It's a bad machine and there's no good reason to ever own one when there are better alternatives that either cost only a little more or do a little less.
How could you forget everyone's favorite smug little iPad user?
I'm only using 19gb of my 64gb on my mini 4.. so guess I don't need any more than 64gb. That's good.
I guess they felt "well we gotta have something for sale at the $1k price" lol
Not sure what the point of the 12" macbook is now. More expensive, smaller screen, fewer ports. I think the Macbook was supposed to replace the Macbook Air but it didn't so they had to come up with the Macbook Air retina. I wonder if they will quietly discontinue the Macbook at some point.

12.9" iPad Pro 256GB w/pencil ordered. I live on my current iPad w/ Clip Studio and Procreate. The spec bump and USB-C second screen possibilities are so damn cool.
He's never been comfortable in the spotlight. That's why he noped the hell out of product videos and showing up onstage.
They've been doing it for years, in the Steve Jobs era they would introduce a better product for the same price or sometimes less, now they don't even hide the blatant price increases on every product line near enough every year.
replying before seeing the price as I'm catching up - but why? Its a faster chip but they always do that. New connector - well they had a magnetic smart connector before and you still have to buy the pencil separately. Smaller bezels - ok a design change.
There isn't anything fundamentally different to last years that isn't a relatively normal evolution of the product - nothing to justify a massive jump in price anyway.
Man, Apple's product pages are always so gorgeous. I always look forward to browsing them and seeing what kind of navigation flourishes they've decided to implement. Always absolutely top tier stuff in terms of layout and design.
Here's your USB-C headphone adapter

It's a joke, man. Also, triggering? Real nice, dude. 4chan is that way, brose.
So they increased prices on every single thing they showed, and I see a lot of resignment in here so I guess they can get away with it. I miss when upgrades kept the same price structure.
Looks like it. I think you can argue the new hardware in the iPad Pro makes it worth it, but not so much for the Air and Mini.
I will wait patiently for a fat Staples coupon and cop a new Pro + Pencil.
Apple pricing has never been sensible. They are luxury consumer electronics.
Depends on your VAT I guess, I just checked the French webstore, and it's 899€/1,119€ for the iPad Pro.
That's a bit rich for a comixology device, but damn it looks great and my Air is getting old.
I mean you saw the same iPad Pro as us right? Seems like a good value still. Can't say for the Mini or Air.
Apple raised prices by 20% after the Brexit vote as the value of the British Pound dropped. Then it went up again against the dollar, but they just kept the pricing.
If you make heavy use of icloud, dealing with 64gb actually seems super manageable. My wife's iPad Pro is 128gb and all she does really is draw on it. Her data usage on it is like 20gb when all is said and done. All photos go to our icloud storage.
A maxed out Mac mini is $4199 with 3.6GHz i7, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD and the better Ethernet.
Interestingly. If you choose the bottom model, the processor upgrade is for an i7 with no i5 option. But the second model starts with an i5 but is also $1099 to start. Gonna have to look over my options if I plan on getting one. They don't even offer the old version as an entry anymore.
Is the RAM in the mini user upgradable still?

I guess the price-creep on this stuff won't end.
The MacBook product line is a mess right now, they need to clean that up. Some devices are outdated and they are all competing in price except for the more expensive ones. It's a mess.
The iPad Pro seems like a true Pro device. Shame the price but I think for iPad users it's totally justifiable if it's your work device.

I went with the Air...just seems more practical
Fuck all you crazy kids with your cool ipad pros!

Echoing others, I forgot that it's 150 bucks to go to the next storage size on the iPads. That's going to give me pause for now.
Mac Mini question: I use this as a home server, a Plex server, and media conversion platform. Should I upgrade the CPU and get the 10Gb Ethernet? I'm currently using a 2011 Mac Mini that is dying.
Someone said this was the base processor. Any guesses on what the upgraded one is to compare?

Here's the press release for the new iPad Pro: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018...n-design-is-most-advanced-powerful-ipad-ever/
Press release confirms that the Apple Pencil has wireless charging capability and that the USB-C port in the iPad Pro can charge phones:

Even despite the Brexit drop in the pound, £1 is $0.79 USD and apple just map 1-1 on pricing. Admittedly our price includes tax but there's unbelievable price gouging going on for every non-USD currency. They increase the USD price and then treat every other currency like shit on top of that.
Well, it looks good but I'm looking through the lens of just having bought the recent 12.9" model and I still feel really good about how it compares. I'm not sure a $200 premium is justified, I could maybe see $100.
