@ capuccino I'm not sure if there is such but it's a possibility,try to check with your local carrier

9to5mac is suggesting that the MaxiPad is getting an Apple keyboard case.

P.S.

I translated that. It that spells "Gotcha 1". Doh!

BTW, there are several of these messages. Just say "Give me a hint, Siri" into the phone.

 

[Ichinisan]

Haven't really read anything about this, but I expect better HomeKit integration throughout the home. Refreshed Apple TV and AirPort / Time Capsule line to work better with HomeKit. The "Hey, Siri" tag line for he event indicates they'll want Siri + HomeKit to work like Amazon Echo...only better.

Some fuking tramp chav fuck them seriously I'm pretty sure of it. The iPhone was on PAYG. I gave Apple and my carrier my IMEI etc and they said the phone is now blocked and none could use it. Seriously... can they unblock it somehow? It's like 2 months now and my blood still fuking boils when I think about this.

Easy. They sell it to some rube who isn't aware that carriers are now using the IMEI to lock out stolen devices. Crook makes their money and is long gone by the time the mark realizes they can never use the phone.

Also, well f--- me! We're getting away with profanity outside the Social boards now? Just pointing that out because I always seem to get nailed when I do it.

I'm mad I swear when I'm mad! :'(

 

[StinkyPinky]

Not to mention many thieves wouldn't know this either. THey just see a shiny iphone and take it and then can't use it, so either sell it or just bin it. Like they care about the victim.

Apple Store iz dowwnnn!!!1

BTW, some are claiming the MaxiPad will start at 32 GB... with a price tag of US$799. Ouch.

$799: 32 GB WiFi
$899: 64 GB WiFi
$999: 128 GB WiFi

$929: 32 GB LTE
$1029: 64 GB LTE
$1129: 128 GB LTE

Keyboard separate, so on top of that price.

No October event.

 

[IronWing]

Was it a new puppy?

 

[Anubis]

1000$ for a ipad hurts, you can get a nice ultrabook for that amount of money or a surface pro - which is a real computer

Man...my 17" HP Android tablet was like $249...

 

[ultimatebob]

I'm watching the live stream now, and I already know one thing for certain... The music on Beats One sucks

An Android tablet would be worth several hundred less to me. I have an Android phone and love it. But for tablet gaming especially, Apple is the way to go (just look at what developers have to say on the subject).

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Apple watch announcements *yawn*

 

[Oyeve]

Cook says for some people the watch has been "life changing". WTF?

I've seen two out in the wild since they've first been on sale.

 

[Stuka87]

So looks like the iPad Pro uses ASync, thats pretty cool. Waiting for them to say what GPU is in it.

 

[ultimatebob]

OK, OK... you convinced me that my old Apple iPad is obsolete. Jerk.

 

[maddogchen]

haha Apple pencil. That will be $20

 

[SAWYER]

my goodness how many times can magical and amazing be used?!?

 

[ultimatebob]

haha Apple pencil. That will be $20

Only $20?

 

[Gooberlx2]

haha Apple pencil. That will be $20

Hmmmm...I vote $50-$65, especially if all the sensors are inside the stylus.

 

[maddogchen]

Only $20? I'd think $29, minimum.

yeah, posted it before I saw the lightning connector...add $10!
