So glad there are people old enough on these forums to get that reference, or at least knowledgable enough of pop culture history.

The new CarPlay must have been developed for the AppleCar they've been working on for like a decade.

The MacBook Air got rid of the wedge shape, woot! Always hated that.

New gaming initiatives for the Mac up now...

Since Apple has often treated Mac gaming like something they'd find on the bottom of their shoes, let's hope they truly do support it and its developers well.

Time will tell.

No no this year we're SERIOUS about gaming.

Yeah, I expected a lot more. Very disappointed with what they showed.

I think it's manufacturing constraints impacting a lot of this. They could easily do silent refreshes on a lot of their products, just using the M2 instead but it's those constraints. I work in an enterprise environment and we buy right from Apple. Even just a base model of an iPad or MBA has a ship time of several weeks. Any CTO models can take months.

Yep, that makes sense.

Might also be because they want to introduce the new Mac Pro in its own event, or at least one where the focus is hardware.

My vote for "coolest but most useless gimmick feature" from the event was that "camera view of your keyboard" thing.

Like .... what the gently caress, a whole team got paid for half a year to develop that

It'll make sports card breaks easy to do, where breakers open packs of cards in a livestream that people pay to get a spot in.

That hobby exploded during the first two years of the pandemic and the money involved in it was insane.
