Maybe 8.1 on the iPad will have that split-screen apps thingie. It feels like they need *something* interesting to talk about. If it's really just iPad updates and they are just small improvements, why even bother with an event?

McFunkerson posted:I read somewhere that the connectivity problems had something to do with the constant refresh of their live blog triggering constant recaching of their website every second for every user who was looking at their desktop/mobile page. I'm probably explaining that wrong but that was the gist of the article I read. Hopefully they've learned from that mistake. That was definitely what that blog post said. It wasn't very technically sound though, and got reblogged a lot before people realized it was kinda bullshit. For instance, no reason that would cause problems with Apple TV streaming.

That was a very artful sentence about how you can access your iCloud photos on the Mac. Technically true!

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Would any more than 1% of iPad users be bent out of shape if they dropped cellular support for iPads? I guess it's easy margin on the hardware and appeases the carriers, but it seems unnecessary. It's a very good hotspot with an endless battery.

It feels like the iPad is just getting old iPhone tech. Except the cpu.

Would have been cool if they had included LTE in all models. That would have got attention.

iPad mini for $249 is non retina, right? That's sad.

Curious to see if you can get that Mac mini with an SSD for less than a grand.

They do actually let you upgrade the $499 mini to Fusion drive, so that would be a decent computer. Unknown pricing though.

I wonder if Apple will finally lower their Fusion Drive / SSD upgrade prices. They are getting a bit out of touch with the market. The new Apple Tax! Edit: Store is up. Nope. Mac mini still costs $200 to upgrade from a 1 TB HDD to a 256 GB SSD. smackfu fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Oct 16, 2014 |

Kobayashi posted:From what I can tell, the only difference between the iPad Mini 2 and the iPad Mini 3 is Touch ID. Otherwise the specs are identical, down to the dimensions. Unless I'm missing something, this is another cash grab -- $100 for Touch ID. Just pretend they didn't announce the iPad Mini 3 and just dropped the price by $100. It is kind of disappointing they didn't upgrade the screen since that is the weak point of the mini.

Santas Ainol Elf posted:The screen is gorgeous as it is? It's not really as good as even the old iPad Air. Check out the Anandtech review: quote:The iPad mini with Retina Display has the same color gamut as the standard iPad mini, which is narrower than the iPad Air and less than the sRGB coverage we normally look for. The biggest issue here is that there are other smaller tablets in this price range that do offer sRGB coverage (e.g. Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HDX 8.9). Maybe you can only tell the difference side-by-side, but it's still something that could have been improved.

alakath posted:Based on what we know of the new Mac minis, is there a sweet spot to order? It seems like maybe the $699 model? This is what is always frustrating about the mini pricing. In theory, it's a cheap computer, but it gets expensive very fast by the time you make it not suck. Eventually it crosses over with a Macbook Air which has the benefit of portability.
