have pretty much just released a new everything. To my mind are still great but are going a bit nuts in terms of amount of products, frequency of updates and quality control problems.

New imac looks great but why no optical drive? New ipad looks great but the 'new ipad' is now defunct - nowhere to be seen. Ipad mini is just a small ipad - not sure I see the point without the ability to make calls.
If they made an ipad mini with built in phone I'd have one in a flash though!- next year maybemoldero
- But why buy an iPad Mini if its got a shitty low quality screen?! I wouldnt take a present of one...its old tech and they can keep it...darrenlamb

- yea just one more thing, one more wire...craigatkinson
- they want to make it as small as possible. optical drive takes too much space. and not many people use em.pango
- tiny ipad with phone, thats an iphone. stupid.newuser
- buy an external drive, store it in your closet and watch as you never ever use it.zarkonite
- Do you think they will finally make OS x more easily used in desktop PCs? Seems like a great option vs hackintoshing.dorkKn1ght

If only Bill wouldn't have saved them in 1997, this board wouldn't be so full of drivel.

The *only* thing I use the optical drive for at home is to rip CDs. At the studio, we have some older archives on DVD, but have an external superdrive to take care of the few times we actually need to access them.

You know what? I was always against no CD/DVD burner but I realized that I always avoid using them because CD/DVDs on laptops are so unreliable, I can never burn shit or I always have the incorrect kind of DVD, I rather get a big drive once every 2 years and store my stuff there.
Also, I remember being genuinely upset when the first imacs came without floppy drives hahaha

apple is going dooooooown.
+ glue the battery. oh, yes. cause we know you never have to change that.

- i don't even give a fuck about apple, but you need to stop focusing on the hate, son. read up.lvl_13
- read up. no. you start from top left and down. son. there you go.akrok
- I don't think those are reasons that would take a company down.zarkonite
- This upgrade is about speed. The network especially. It's much faster with LTE.CyBrainX
- The haters are worse that any fanboys.Jaline

I do like Apple products. Generally very well made - far more so than the competition, and generally work very smoothly - again, far more than the comp. However, I think the good service / high end product is being diluted because they have become so popular.
I use the optical drive. I use DVD for long term image storage, I thought external drives were no good for long term?

Apple is great, why the hatin? I really enjoy using their products, they work great together. I wish they weren't so expensive. I don't understand why people care so much about hating or loving apple.

new iMac is like a bad joke
- craigatkinson0
I like the new imac. The higher spec one has self- upgadeable RAM too
- my 2007 24inch iMac has that as well and I'm sure the ones that followedernexbcn
- the new iMac 21.5 is the only iMac without self-upgradable RAMESKEMA
- Pretty bad if they make upgradability a 'feature' you have to pay for.ETM
- fuck, really? the new 21.5 doesn't have swappable ram?monospaced
- i_monk0
Will they continue to sell the "old" iMacs or have they shredded them all to capitalize on the newer models and higher prices?
- yup. and all older imacs that have been sold and are in use don't even boot now... it's crazy.prophetone
