I think after taking so much time showing how useful the touchbar can be, especially for pro and prosumer apps like Final Cut, Photoshop etc, Apple pretty much has to make it available for the iMac, and in the very next iteration. This isn't like 3…

I have an ipad. Can't carry it or a mini ipad or a nexus in my jeans. But I'll make up the extra $100 an ipod touch over an iPhone in the first month. I get wifi in most places I go, the new maps app works without wifi or 3G and passbook, tune…

Clearly it was necessary to change the adapter to continue the march of thinness. I have no quarrel with their rationale there. That said, if the analyst's cost estimates are correct, we are talking 5 bucks for the cable. How much could the chi…

And yet the apple store says they are available for shipping now if stock, in 3 days if you change anything like memory or graphics card. So Apple seems to have them.

So tired of the dueling retinal calculations that appear with each successive iMac update rumor. To me, seeing is believing. Having compared the current iMac with the retinal mbp, I'm indifferent to whether they have the option soon or next ye…

Still don't understand the infatuation with uber thinness for an AIO desktop that is already reasonably thin - unless they change the stand design, the base footprint limits how far you can move it back to the wall. Thinner laptops make a lot of…

I hope there's an option on Retinal "improvements." I'm worried about the greater demand on the battery and on graphics processors, such that the next models with better CPUs and GPUs will have lower frame rates on graphics heavy games. To say …

I listen to audio books on my ipod touch a lot. But audio books take longer, and cost more than Kindle ebooks. As an experiment, I've tried to read The Prince (free) using Stanza, but the hassle factor of the small screen (not just harder to rea…

Next week - the Iconic 1984 Apple superbowl commercial announcing the mac - still the best ever - has 25th anniversary as well. Next Sunday would be an interesting time to launch a 25th anniversary edition imac with something more than a mac/PC cl…

Bummer - I was holding out for my switch to Mac. And so I'll just wait to decide when the new imacs finally come out - because I'm sure not going to buy a desk top with less graphics power than a laptop. The imac goes into the tank until refresh…

I've been holding out for an imac refresh, which if the original road map continues to be correct, is due in November. And I really hope that - whatever they do to the form factor (likely not much), that the imac will be at least the equal of the …

I've been waiting (not long) for the imac refresh - a little bit better would be good, and I'm hoping for lower power consumption, a montevina CPU, a hybrid graphic chip that can drive Crysis at 25 - 30 fps (current macs can't) and a better keyboard…

I'm not with my main computer, but I seem to recall paying $9 to upgrade my Touch software to 2.0, which added the app store, a couple other things, and the ability to run the new aps. So 2.1 is probably just the tweak to that. Other Touch users…

Thanks for bringing us out of the wilderness and back into the supposed point of this thread, Zin. Apparently other "idiots" think it's going to be a touch tablet. One of them is a pro with some inside info. http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/ In…
