All I wanted was a new better Magic Mouse and maybe a backlit rechargeable keyboard. But the rest of this is pretty awesome too, I guess ;)
I thought the iPad pro/keyboard/pencil all looked nice, Siri on Apple TV looks super handy/will probably skip the 6S and hold out for the 7
right there with you pal. iPad Pro, Pencil, Keyboard, and Apple TV are already calling my Best Buy credit card, but the 6S (as awesome as it is) isn’t worth loosing 30% or more of what I paid for my 6, plus the difference to get the 6s. I don’t know. $250 out of pocket for animated photos and force touch? I don’t use force touch on my retina pro or my watch unless its required (never) and quite frankly… I don’t sit and revisit my photos often enough to care if the move for 2 seconds. I like knowing I have them to reference, but I don’t just browse them. SO it seems insignificant until they change the form and function next year.
after watching the demos, I think the Force Touch on an iPhone is definitely better. I can see a use for that as it will save a few clicks. The live photos is kinda cool, but it’s not a must have feature. I would like to have a really bright display so I can see it clearly in direct sunlight, which happens quite often, plus I use a screen protector, which makes it even harder to see in direct sun light. I hope someday they get that together. Other than that, I think the 6S/6S+ are great, but I’m still up in the air on whether I will upgrade from my 6+.
The iPad Pro definitely looks freaking cool. I might upgrade my iPad 4 for one.
The AppleWatches? Just cosmetics, so it’s nice to see a Gold option on the least expensive models, but it’s obviously not a high glass polished look which I prefer.
The AppleTV looks interesting, but I’m still on the fence on when to jump into AppleTV. It’s not a must have, it’s a nice to have product. But I’ll check them out at the Store to see if it’s sometime to get.
I got the sense of the product introduction as kinda luke warm by the applause in the audience. I think these events are getting just a little overhyped and it’s hard to exceed expectations. Did they mention how much RAM comes with the iPad Pro? Is it 2GB or 4GB of RAM?
@Rich Davis (@RichDavis9)
The iPad Pro includes 16GB of RAM.
Please let the iPhone 6S have 2GB of ram please please please.
The iPhone 6S has 4GB of RAM.
Another top event. Love the new features on the new iPhones. Love the Apple pencil is really smart. Makes me want to be an artist and draw sketches 😃
Still no confirmation on iphone 6s ram moving to 2gb.
2GB iPhone? I dont see it anywhere
Epic fail. iPad Pro – Nothing Pro about it. It should have had 256 GB. I like having my content with me. I like buying more apps, music, and movies. I like keeping all my pictures on my iPad. I like making videos on my iPad. I need space. I do not want to use dropbox and icloud, especially in Canada where we barely have any wifi. Surface gets it. They offer up to 512 GB. I’ve been a fanboy for a long time, but today, for the first time ever, they pissed me off.
See ya!
Let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

that girl with medical app. She mentioned that Pro has “more memory”. Looks it’s only hint so far
She meant 1632 I guess. Because the Pro ships with 32GB as a minimum. But yeah, for a Pro product I guess they could’ve play it out better – 64/128/256. Maybe that will be the thing for Pro 2? Because what else to improve for a year or two? Make it thinner, sure, integrate 3D touch etc. We’ll see. I am more excited about the Mini 4! :)
