    What's with all the random celebrities scattered across the audience? What role do/did they perform?!

    If they're just there as eye-candy, that's rather un-Appleish.
    And why does that matter to you? People are there for a reason. Not everything needs to have an explanation. Having celebs in the audience is "Un-Appleish"? SMH.

    Also, is it just me, or is the string of updated hardware releases before next week's Apple keynote event kind of unusual? 

    Seems like they're making room for something. Don't they normally announce product releases at the event, or when they don't, it's not right before a scheduled address?

    The expectation is that the keynote is about their new TV content offerings, but it seems like they must be expecting to announce something substantial if they're pushing out the hardware releases without the fanfare.
    It's been typical for Apple in the past the release either new product or new softwares just before a keynote. Sometimes the new product benefits from what is being shown at the following keynote but it's generally because they don't have room to showcase new product during the keynote. Also, if you really think about it, nothing Apple announced this past week really needs to be announced at a keynote. It's simply product updates.

    $79 for the wireless charging case. Apple is effing crazy. I picked up a case at the local Apple reseller for $30. I could see paying more if it offered more and still the sound quality of the AirPods is fair to partly cloudy. But to each his or her own. 
    I'm curious what you bought. Do you have an Amazon link or something?
    They are basically sleeves for the current AirPods case, ranging from $20-40.  
    $20
    $36
    $40
    $79 for Apple's case may be worth it for those who want OEM peace of mind.  For others, not so much.  YMMV
    Most likely I’ll be selling my old airpods for around $100, and paying $100 to get longer battery life plus wireless charging plus hey Siri which will be great for the car. A much better deal than my first airpods purchase.
    $100 when the regular price for new is only $60 more. Well good luck with that. I don't understand people buying earbuds that have been in someone else's ears. Not sanitary.

    (I feel a little bit better about my recent AirPod purchase :) )
    Well aside from features, Apple generally improves sound quality on their products without announcing it. The 2018 MBP 15" has new speakers that add more rich bass and it's very obvious when compared to the 2017 MBP 15", but Apple has not mentioned anything on their website about improved sound. I would bet the new Air Pods sound significantly better.

    Great deal if this was 2018.
    The good news is this is a good buy for the next 3 years as it will be one of the last revisions for this generation (I expect another in the fall), and then a new redesign next year which means revision 1 - and as we all know, never buy revision 1 anything. 

    So there will be some mileage on this unit. I have a feeling there won’t be a lot of buyers remorse as the Mac Pro will be slated for a 2020 release and cost the same as a Bugatti.

    Dell stocks up and Apple down on this news.
    "Dell stocks up and Apple down on this news."

    Does that make you feel better or something, or are you simply trolling? Well here's one for you, Dell stock went down after hours today. There! "eyes rolling"
