    Dual-core. That will go down well. But at least they didn't get rid of the headphone jack.

    RIP Magsafe.

    Yeah, would agree the Magsafe is a loss... but personally I can get past that with the rest of the additions.. The screen was enough for me!

    I have to say I'd be very tempted by the new Air as an upgrade that'll 100% see me through college.

    New Air starts at 1199 dollars. That's only a slight increase of 70 over old model. Not too bad.

    Maybe Phil doesn't "love New York" :)

    800 usd for new Mini. I assume the Irish price will be 900-1000.

    What's with this crowd? Steve all but levitated onto the stage and they didn't get this excited.

    Two great (and long awaited) product updates so far. This looks like an event filling in the gaps in the products apple have neglected the last few years. Wonder if they’ll sneak-peak the new Mac Pro due next year.

    Crowd was awfully quiet during the MacBook Air announcement and now this. I assume they filled the room with managers from their retail stores.

    I recon most were too busy typing away about the details. Because there wasn’t a ton of physical leaks for this even i’d Imagine a lot is new information they weren’t fully prepared for. Where most events they’d have a lot of the details pre-written.

    There's definitely a disproportionate amount of employees in the audience compared to other events. Even fanboy journalists don't get that excited.

    Love that the candy bar design is back with this iPad.

    Wouldn’t be a massive surprise if the 9.7” iPad stays the same. Only released in late March and probably still selling pretty well at that low entry level price point.

    I've had to stop watching the videos, did it say whether the new pencil would only work with the pros?

    They didn’t say, but in any case magnetic attachement and wireless charging are unlikely to work. Even if the rest works, without these it might be hard for them to say it’s supported.

    New iPad Pro uses USB -C.

    That's a major change.

    Wonder what Apple are going to do with lightning now. Will all future iPads move to USB-C, will iPhone and standard iPads stick with lightning. Or are they just going to switch to USB-C as the one universal port?
