Apple Launch Event 03/09/15

lundi 9 mars 2015

** I want to know this, o/t: What are your thoughts on "wearables" in general?



Alright time for the requisite Apple launch thread.



Today Tim Cook launched the Apple Watch as well as a new Macbook, a new HBO partnership and some other minor updates and reveals like a new health app.



Thoughts?



Who's getting an Apple Watch?



Apple has entered into a partnership with HBO, which will be streamed to Apple devices across the internet including the Apple TV. HBO Now.



Apple announced a new app called 'ResearchKit '.





Thoughts on the macbook?

1. Apple’s launched a new Retina MacBook that super thin and light – a replacement for the current MacBook Air line.

2. 12in Retina Display - 2304x1440 resolution

3. 3.1mm thin - 24% thinner than the 11in MacBook Air

4. 2lbs in weight

5. Full size keyboard - all new “butterfly” technology

6. USB-C ports, but no regular USB ports

7. Available in gold as well as silver

8. Force Touch Trackpad - force sensors rather than click mechanism that can detect a range of “force clicks”

9. New gestures based on how hard you click

10. “Taptic” feedback - the trackpad taps back

11. Apple promises “all-day” battery life of up to 10 hours, or nine hours when on Wi-Fi.





I don't like the Apple not lighting up lol, I'll stick with my current Macbook, thanks. I ldo like the thinness however and the new trackpad. I'm still not sold on Apple Watch or watch-based phone ancillaries so I'll wait on this too. I do like that HBO and Apple are now partners, with HBO Now, but do I really have to sign up for another streaming service?









"“All you need to get HBO Now is a broadband connection and an Apple device,” said Plepler. “There will be a brand-new HBO Now channel on Apple TV so you can enjoy it on the big screen or you can watch HBO NOW on your iPhones and iPads.”
