- small ipad pro is just a normal ipad, right?autoflavour
- But you can use the iCrayon on that one!zarkonite
- wow, Apple is now lifting lines from MS to talk up their products... They must be doing some damage with the Surface.zarkonite

I told you a looong time ago, and I kept repeating it...
Innovation will die the second Steve leaves. He was the one that pushed them to make everything BETTER BETTER BETTER. Make it fucking amazing or you're fired!!!
Now all the employees are lazy as fuck with nobody cracking the whip, just rehashing old designs. This kind of shit would never fly with Steve in charge.

- #Bring back Steve!!youngdesigner
- all these phones do the exact same shit, with the exact same features.... people just like bitching about Apple. been that way for decades, jobs or no jobs.inteliboy
- So you're advocating employee abuse?ESKEMA
- they're doing interesting stuff with health and medicine... though people could care less. not an emhergerd new shiny object!inteliboy
- ....in a galaxy far far awaay?docpoz
- If KFC brought back the Colonel, why can't Apple can bring back Steve?nb
- North Korea sent people to the sun and back already. Bring Steve back shouldn't be that hard.pango
- autoflavour1
so lazy
- Meh. I'm actually ok with it. I think of it like a good t-shirt. It fits so well you wish they never change the cut. Just improve the cotton quality.pango
- ya i have 8 or 10 of the same black t... hate it when the brand changes the cut once a while...pango
- exactly, and like a good ol' t-shirt, no one cares to upgrade until it is completely worn outformed
- 5s' shape was perfect. Stop changing it!!pango
- I agree, my favourite too._niko

I want a Thunderbolt Retina display. WTF!
- that would make sense... but doubt they would announce that as some sort of big dealmonospaced
- ha. what dpi and size is "retina" and why must the connector be thunderbolt?deathboy
- a very flat non glare 1440p 144hz freesync display along with a new MacBook Pro would be ace. The ones on the market are 'gaming' branded and look like crap.mekk

- I think he means 5K like thi iMacs.monospaced
- I just hope they finally have one with 100%adobeRGB coverage.pango
- @deathboy exactly this panel in a good slim case.mekk
- it's not even 4kutopian
- I've been holding out on getting a new monitor. They need to kick it into high gear.instrmntl
- lol, that ASUS is pretty low resmonospaced
- @deathboy, that ASUS is standard res, but the 27" iMac is 4x the resolution. That requires thunderbolt bandwidth or bettermonospaced
- i was making fun of the marketing terms used by apple and how a lot of consumers dont even understand them. dp or hdmi works for 4kdeathboy
- and 4k is overkill. scaling OS are meh. only real use is to edit 4k video on large display. but to each their own. some people bought 3D tvsdeathboy
- i have a 4k z27 that i run at 1440p and looks perfectly fine for how far i sit from it. same with some 24s at 1080.deathboy
- Trust me, if you have a 5K 27" next to that z27, you'll see a HUGE difference. Plus, scaling is ace. Not sure where you've been. Sorry.monospaced
- The problem is how much stuff is built for 5K viewing? This is where scaling is meh. 4K tvs look great with 4k content. But i wouldnt buy one either.deathboy
- The OS is made for that size. Retina is pretty much standard on all laptops these days so why not on desktop? Even the web has caught up mostly.monospaced
- It looks nice but it isn't for me. I chose a regular 1920x1080 monitor on my laptop for battery life and performance too. Its what i find efficientdeathboy
- i just much prefer stating display sizes than saying retina as an arbitrary marketing measurement.deathboy
- I think the intial point was that a monitor already exists if you only define what is "retina" size and to what end do u need "thunderbolt"deathboy
- and don't be a consumer whore and fall for simple marketing techniquesdeathboy
- like realizing milk with generic label is the same as the more expensive milk next to it with model dairy. same cows same farmsdeathboy
- that monitor you posted is 4X lower resolution than the one Apple uses. 4x the pixels requires more bandwidth. Thunderbolt is a name for a display portmonospaced
- retina isn't arbitrary marketing, it's a term to explain what it's like to view one. Also, even lenovos are going that route, and they all have thunderboltmonospaced
- it's not even an apple thing, so it's hilarious that you would think it was just their marketingmonospaced
- the one i posted was to mekks specs. he defined size. i think he wanted in a laptop or a look which is pure aesetics. retina is arbitary marketing speakdeathboy
- it doesn't stand for a specific dpi, res, or size. Thunderbolt is apples name for there modded display port. It was there universal connector that had xtra banddeathboy
- width. The only problem is the bandwidth was unnecessary at that time and now there is new standards like mini usb3.1 hdmi 1.4 dp 2.3.deathboy
- Right. That basic monitor would not require much bandwidth, certainly not like a 4-5k display would.monospaced

They should try to do something innovative.

Once again the audience was in awe when they announced that you can pay with the iPhone SE.
- ESKEMA1
I was waiting for this, mainly for the price point. I still think it's ridiculous they continue to have 16gb models. You can buy 32gb pens for less than 10$ ffs.
- True, a hundred bucks more gets you the 64 versionernexbcn
- the fact that you have to pay $100 for 32GB of storage is a goddamn ripoffmonospaced

I like the size of the iphoneSE and want it, but I can't believe they didn't bother to round the edges of the phone. They just repurposed the iphone5. I guess that's why they prefaced the meeting with Environment and Recycling.

- you do know it's not replacing their larger flagships right? you posted the same joke when they had a larger phonemonospaced

I still have my old iPhone 5, my gf is using it as an iPod. And I have to admit it was the perfect size on the road.
I own a Nexus 6P now and I like it a lot, but its huge. My next phone will be smaller for sure.
- My Z5 Compact has fast become the best phone I have owned. The size is perfect.face_melter
- Yep the form factor was the best. I now have a 5" phone and I wish the browser input row was at the bottom.mekk
- ernexbcn0
They are going to sell shitloads of those iPhone SEs
- You think so? I don't know any buyers, do you? There's nothing new about it.formed
- Price and the best form factor in the opinion of manyernexbcn
- I know quite a few interesting folks as well. This bigger sixes aren't for everyone.evilpeacock
- My gf is getting one, she has a 5S and hated the 6 and 6S sizesernexbcn
- Most of my friends held off on the 6 because of the size.nb
- I feel i look silly everytime i'm taking out my Nexus 6P in public. (5,7'' screen) I'll stick to Android, but will go for a smaller device next time.Bennn
- I'm glad they're going smaller. I still think my 4S was the best size for a phone.section_014
- That said, my $180 Moto G is as good as anything out there. $400? for what exactly? Im an Apple fanboy like the rest of you too.section_014
- Hey don't look at me I switched from an iPhone 4 to a Moto G 2015ernexbcn
- I agreed...until I got an S5, now there's no goign back to the smaller screen. nice for a phone, bad for usefulness.formed
- I have the 6, but prefer holding the 5S. Reaching the top is a stretch with one hand. I feel like the smallest 4" is actually too small. Anyway.monospaced
- Power button on top is better too with less accidental presses.monospaced
- just replaced my iphone 4 with a 6. it's a bloody ballix. gonna sell it and buy a SEkingsteven

Haha, totally forgot they had somethign today! I was even talking with a friend about it yesterday.
I guess the fact that QBN doesn't have a dedicated thread, like very other event they've had, says something about where they are.
Did I miss anything?
Didn't think so
- Bennn0
Since i'm all Android and Windows now, I have never gave so few fucks about an Apple event!
- and here you are!monospaced
- feels good man :DBennn
- not as rough on the anus?monospaced

wow-so absolutely nothing even worth talking about. no wonder no one even bothered to bump this thread.
not hating-just nothing exciting to report.
- dbloc0
so what did they present?
- mekk0
Well, no live streaming for Firefox, Chrome and IE? Pretty funny from a company that hated on Flash because it was proprietary.
- And Amazon won't sell Apple TVs for the same reason.monospaced
- competition, that ismonospaced
- Have fun with the 5% reach then, Apple.mekk
- Has Apple only got to 5% marketshare with its devices? Damn.monospaced
- they call a white screen "retina flash".mekk
- Also, you think Apple cares? I mean, they've always done this, and for some reason everyone knows all about it regardless of browser.monospaced
- @mono - come on he has a point - it's ludicrous you can only stream their cringey events in Safari, no?fadein11
- on desktop browsers, yes.mekk
- idiotsdbloc
- This keyboard is inspired by this one device Apple fans hate so much, huh?mekk
- it's totally lame, but also shouldn't be a surprise after this many years, no?monospaced
