Apple's Next Keynote
Tim Cook says we will see new products throughout 2014, meaning we should see new products in the first half of 2014. Unlike this year, 2014 doesn't appear to be as predictable a year for Apple announcements. What do you think we'll see the next time Apple gets on stage? My money is on an iPad Pro, possibly in March-April. Other possibilities:
1. New Apple TV. This is due for an upgrade, but it's looking more likely that Apple doesn't want to take the next step with TV unless it's a big step.
2. Next generation of MacBook Air with retina display. There have been rumors of such a device for awhile, but I don't think it's gonna happen. I think the 12" retina display computer is going to be an iPad Pro... A professional class touch screen computer, possibly with Final Cut Pro Touch, etc.
3. iApparel. Wearables by Apple are coming, and I don't think it'll be in march, but as you all know, Apple announces new categories many months before they actually release them, so who knows, but I'd doubt it. The more I think about this category, the more exciting it becomes though.
4. iWallet event, a few months before WWDC to get the ball rolling in time for the late year upgrade cycle and possibly new product categories that may deploy such a service. Apple doesn't call Touch ID forward thinking by accident. That slogan makes me think that a big push into authentication-type services could be sooner rather than later. This disturbs me a little because Apple hasn't exactly been a world-beater in the services department, and while iCloud, Siri, and Maps sit still in the back of the class, Apple is going to introduce yet another big service?
Speaking of which, can anybody think of an important short term use case for Siri as a service? What a disappointment.

Hardly. You do know what it is, right? You wouldn’t be saying this if you did.
I use Siri, when I remember to, for setting reminders. That's it. My experience with it hasn't been that bad, but it's still like a beta service that is separate from the rest of the OS. It's not a natural or intuitive part of the interface, and its endurance as a service isn't clear. Nothing about it is a must have for mainstream users. It might be great for iOS in the Car, but everything about that push seems like another one of Apple's half assed efforts into some market they don't deeply care about and can't sell directly to the consumer.
It could possibly be a new line of lap or desktop computers, using the touch technology they've developed for their current devices. Or it could be a new series of devices dealing in virtual reality, comparable to (but better than) the Oculus Rift, or the Leap Motion. Advances in virtual reality may have much future potential.
Your mind is full of negativity here. If Siri doesn't work for you who's fault is it?
As for the next Keynote or few keynotes, here are some guesses:
I also beg to differ on wearables. Apple has leaked stories to nytimes, Bloomberg, and WSJ on iwatch details, and there is no question in my mind that it's a complete red herring. Steve Jobs said the next big revolution in tech was the intersecting of biology and technology, and I think Apple is cooking up something amazing there. You don't care about wearables right now and neither do I, but it's like what Tim Cook said, there's no point in such a device unless it convinces you it's so amazing that you have to have it.
I think Apple's next big thing has something to do with biometrics, ibeacons, touch ID, and wearables. But this thread is about Apple's next big keynote, and my money is on the iPad Pro. I'd love it if they'd take their professional creation suites into the cloud, so that the form factor of an iPad Pro isn't compromised by the need for big expensive drives. Adobe has really shown the way here. Final Cut Pro Touch FTW!!!
I'm not a big fan of iCloud. As for storage I'm pretty disappointed that Apple didn't bump up the flash in each model of iPad Air. It has been a long time and over that period flash has become much cheaper. Beyond that local storage always bets cloud storage for performance. Serious could you imagine editing a picture, movie or any large file over the net. It doesn't make sense to me.
As for Siri, I'm not saying it shouldn't exist, I'm just complaining that it's apparently taking up quite a bit of resources and with no clear picture of its overall value. I thought Apple was about focus. I'd hate to see this company start spreading itself thin trying to compete everywhere. Siri did a good job of selling 4S's but it's become a new Newton for pop culture. That's not good.
I just had an interesting thought, maybe we will see an A9 or A10 in the near future with hardware support for language processing, AI and other unconventional computing needs. I really see Apple having a long term goal with its self engineered processors. They already have some signal processing of speech built in.
Garbage! First off Newton was a huge success! it was only killed to get the company under control and return it to profitability. Second Siri is no different that the Calendar app, the notes app or anything else included in iOS. Some people make use of certain features others don't. If you don't value something you should not assume that the rest of the world agrees with you. For example I thought that Apples maps program was the best thing since sliced bread the day it was released. That is because it did what I needed in a way I expected it to work. Many would disagree with me but many of the complaints about maps where blown way out of proportion.
The annual Christmas is coming,it’s the most important day for the Europe and the United States,some of people will buy gifts at this time,it’s the good idea to gift the designer handbag to your friend for the Christmas present.but the original designer bag is so expensive that someone can’t afford it.
Prada is one of the world famous brand designer bags,Many women obsessed with the Prada Handbag,Prada is from Italy,which is made from the finest quality of hand-stitched leather,you need to pay $1,500 to $3,000 to buy the prada original bag by Prada stores,as we know,the replica prada bag only cost $150 to $300,that is so crazy right? No one want to spend the 10 times the price of original bag on a fake bag,Distinguishing between an original and fake Prada handbag isn’t hard,may be you just understand of Prada’s characteristic signature marks.
1
Be careful to check the name on the handbag,the sign of original Prada “R” show the subtle concave curve immediately after extending from the top of the letter.but the sign of replica Prada “R” is straight and appears standard.
2
The Prada logo accent lines match the handbag leather color, but the accent lines on a fake Prada handbag make the corlor black, brown or white.
3
Feel the logo with your fingers. The accent lines on an authentic Prada logo feel slightly raised, whereas a knock-off logo contains no difference in texture.
4
All the manufacturing tags, plaques and logos will show the sign of “Made in Italy.” which not like other brands designer bag.
