I don't give a hoot about the new iPads, but I am curious about the Retina iMac and wish they'd provide some sort of insight into their AppleTV plans, but I think even they don't know what they're going to do yet.

Also, it seems iPad launches don't have the same hype surrounding them as iPhones. As an Air owner, I'm not even that fussed about this one. Touch ID and a thinner device wont tempt me to spend hundreds of pounds on a tablet for the second time in a year.

I'm still rocking an iPad 3 (The New iPad), and I have absolutely no desire to upgrade.

New iCloud logo is goofy and dumb looking. That's my takeaway from this whole thing.

Sounds like a phone call, which is what it is. It's not VoIP or Skype or anything.

It has 2GB RAM. Apple has never worried much about divulging actual specs of their devices.

Does Apple own a portion of these companies? They're going to get massive sales boosts being up on stage like this.

Pretty sure the "wireless hot wheels controlled via your phone" guys went bankrupt before the actual presentation was over.

They've already confirmed it via the parts leaks, but wait for someone to run an actual test on it once it comes out I guess.

How do you know this? The iPhones didn't get a RAM and they needed it just as much.

The parts leaks from the new iPads indicate 2GB of ram.

It's 5mm on the edges. It balloons out on the back. It's dumb.

It's cool when you've got your iPhone plugged in at your desk and it picks up audio from a video as "Hey Siri" and responds to you.

It just did that when Tim said "And soon"

Any idea if the 5k iMac has user upgradeable ram? I assume so as the normal 27inch does.

I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't. Every iMac has had upgradeable RAM.
