Can anyone explain why the brand new keyboards from the store still have an EJECT DISK button... WTF?!?!?!?
- b/c compatible w/ older mac pro towerprophetone
- innovation never ejects********
- They’re the same design unchanged for years. Eject still works when a disc drive is connected.monospaced
- because without it looks crap?
https://i.imgur.com/…uan - I think at this point they could probably lose it. You can still drag a disc to the trash if you did have a superdrive connected.bogue
- Stop giving them ideas, they'll replace it with a watch screen.shaft

lol, insane. $1200 repair cost at Apple versus $0-100'ish at a third party computer repair store.
I love Apple and my MacBook Pro 2018 but yes they do have insane repair costs.
- the 2018 MBPs are going to be a nightmare to repair, even compared to last year's models. SSDs are soldered onto the Motherboard! Data recovery almost impossiblmonospaced
- Don't go to BMW dealers for repairs.
It's expensive.Hayzilla - it's not even that simple now, Hay ... Apple is actively making it impossible for non-Apple repair shops to do much. it's almost criminalmonospaced
- Imagine going to a Pep Boys for new tires, only to find out that your BMW doesn't start anymore because Pep Boys didn't have the right software to unlock it.monospaced
- spoken like a true apologist.utopian
- quite the opposite ... do you have a reading problem?monospaced
- Ha!********
- It is criminal********
- this one reason i dont buy apple products so much than before. feels more locked :(api
- this is the reason I'll have to build a hackintosh in the near futuremonospaced

Just noticed a bunch of iOS backups on my MBP that I was clueless about.
TIP: If you're on a MBP and you're always running out of drive space check your iOS (ipad / iphone) backup files. I have a 500gig drive that was owned by about 120+ gig of iOS backups going all the way back to 2015 of which I have zero use for...
... it's like my machine is brand new again!!
- Discovered this about 6months ago.
I backup all my photos manually, all music comes from my laptop and all emails are in the cloud.Hayzilla - So I have no need for these huge backup files that get created on my MBP. Annoying thing is my iPhone will simply not accept this.Hayzilla
- Which means I get an alert every other day warning my to backup my phone. It's very annoying!Hayzilla

Anyone here running Mojave yet?
- Of course. It's great. Love dark mode.NBQ00
- Don't do it. Adobe CC is buggy and slow as hell.severian
- Not at all here.NBQ00
- Unity (3d game engine) still fucks up with High Sierra. I dont trust they got their shit in gear to get it running properly on Mojave yet.mantrakid
- Wasn't crazy about dark mode for Mail, inverted the white background. Difficult to stylize text properly. switched back to normal. Yep, Adobe is buggy.fyoucher1
- I use Mac for audio production, and will be on 10.12.6 for as long as possible.section_014
- waiting. which Adobe version is slow? CC 2018, CC2017, or CS6?api

The upcoming iPad Pro's. Looking really neat. Really think they could be great for a lot of work now that they're getting so powerful and more pro apps coming onto it.

- Just annoying that Jony Ive loves protruding camera bumps so much. Imagine laying it flat on the table to draw on it and it wobbles.NBQ00
- those are conceptual renders
https://www.behance.…monospaced - I know but from the leaks and everything it's pretty much going to be like this.NBQ00
- I imagine QBN users would want this for drawing. Why get this over a Wacom?section_014
- It's hard to compare to a Wacom, since the Wacom isn't a tablet on its own, but is really just a kick ass input device. iPad now runs native PS though.monospaced
- its got no place for my thumb! :(pango
- What exactly are we supposed to take away from a rendering like this aside from the fact that they removed the home button?yuekit
- ^ and no place for my thumb!!pango
- Excited to see what iPad + Photoshop has in store for us. Could be a game changer.desmo
- How can any pro use a touchscreen-only for Ps work? W/o shortcuts and a keyboard my efficiency would drop by 90%. For quick, on -the-go it's ok.formed

iPhone XR durability test:
I really like this guy, he shows what each phone is made of with brutal testing and even tears them down to show the insides.

The new Apple iPad pro leaked in a third party case promo photo
- Nope. Just another concept render from a fan or 3rd party.monospaced
- Ok listen, even Apple's own new icon that leaked shows this exact design :) We'll see later anyway.NBQ00
- I’m not saying it isn’t accurate as a product. Just saying this isn’t anything except a render. It’s not a leak from Apple.monospaced

There are rumors that Apple may unveil the new Apple "Cinema" Display today as well. Would be pretty nice that they'd bring back the displays. New small-bezel design and maybe 5K resolution.
- I thought it was 8k?section_014
- Ooh, I hope they do!MondoMorphic
- They were just LG displays, they basically just stopped rebranding them. Same shit, different look.zarkonite
- Apple didn't rebrand them. They just sold the LG display on their site.monospaced
- section_0140
Apple still clearly out of their mind with these prices. $800 for a Mac mini with a slow-as-fuck i3 with 8GB of ram. And since there's probably no fans, it's going to be a laptop grade i3 (only speculating here).
- are you really buying an old version hours before the new one is introduced?NBQ00
- Those are the specs for the new one.section_014
- Yeah it’s pretty shitty for that price.monospaced
- NBQ000
Wow shit what? The keynote already happened? Damn, I was used to the usual keynote times.
- NBQ004
This is cool.
But I don't get the MacBook Air. I thought the "MacBook" were replacing it as they were already super thin.
Anyway the new iPad Pro really nice
- Would love to try it out for drawing.PhanLo
- It seems really great right now, but in the future, they will make a new version and then this one will be shite that you pick up cheap on eBay for your mum .shapesalad
- Just like with every tech after couple of years. And?NBQ00
- Such a mongy comment salad. LOLHayzilla
- anyone else annoyed how much they call it an 'all-screen, edge to edge display'? that 1/2" bezel is small, but it still countsakiersky
- yeah^^Bennn
- ha ha.. well... it was once existing when they first launched the ranges, but now it's rinse and repeat...shapesalad
- *excitingshapesalad
- They made it slimmer and the screen is slightly bigger, also the device has magnets for new and INNOVATIVE ways of attaching 3rd party shit. Glad I didn't wait.Maaku
- wow. it's so light and thin and unbound from profligate consumption.********
- Peter, isn't this geared towards creative people? If it makes you productive & creative it's not just about consumption.NBQ00
- Somewhat about consumption.********
- Was mostly referring to the the thin/light marketing. You're expressing a mutual relationship between creativity, production and tech.********
- Does the USBC connect to hard drive? Or they gonna force you pay more for storage space?pango
- Face Id is still a deal breaker for me.pango
- Wow charging the pen isn't stupid anymore.pango
- yeah, if they didn't fucked up the pen delay i'm buying one.sted
- https://media.giphy.…notype
- a keyboard that is perfect for group facetime? wtf was that :)uan
- Okay, i'm actually a bit wow'ed here. Apple seems back on track for a change.jagara

For me, the new stuff has only disadvantages. As long as my old MacBook Air is still alive, I am happy with it (7 years now). The updates are all disadvantages to me:
- fingerprint login (my assistants need to operate it too)
- weight, size, battery life all the same
- no more card reader, only usb-cMaybe, it's a sign I'm getting old. But this new hardware is nothing I desire.
- TouchID is additional. You can still use the standard password typing. Also as a pro photographer you should get the new MacBook Pro's. They're great.NBQ00
- Just don't bitch about no built-in SD card reader, get an adapter.NBQ00
- You need a thumb for your assistants to login Simon? I can get you a thumb by 3 o'clock!Hayzilla
- LOL @ NBQ00 trying to tell Simon how to do his job. The dude shoots naked women for a living and uses a macbook air, YOU should figure out how that works notzarkonite
- the other way around ;)zarkonite
- On Android you can add many fingerprints, not just yours... You should prob be able to do the same with Apple (?)Bennn
- Hey, take it easy guys. Did not want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Love my MacBook Air.SimonFFM
- haha it was all in good jest, but I think Ben's suggestion might actually work?zarkonite
- or you can type in a password like a fucking neanderthal ;)monospaced
- Your assistant is chukka right?pango
- Maybe face id can register multiple faces?pango
- Benn has a point. Would be nice. But there is still the option for passcode. 0000 isnt to difficult is it?Hayzilla
- Bennn does not have a point actually.monospaced
- Ben always has a point********
- Ben has the best point of all time.pango
- And if you don't actually get Bennn's point, don't worry, he'll explain it to you.Continuity
- Bennn has a point, they sayBennn
- Bennn has a point like no other.zarkonite

This is how the Apple Pencil was charging on the old iPad Pro's.
Just because of this alone I'd buy the new iPad Pro's.

The fact that I can connect my camera directly to the iPad and edit photos in a full version of Photoshop is the game changer for me.
Full “shut up and take my money” mode over here
- those iPads are catching my interest for this reason alone. total workflow in a compact design.capn_ron
- i hope you want to connect a keyboard and use a pen, cuz using Phop with your fingers ONLY would be a total HellBennn
- Been using adobe sketch for all my ideation work since this summer, love it. I'm seriously thinking about getting the 12" pro + keyb + new pen.zarkonite
- Plan on getting the whole deal. Keyboard, Pencil, etc. The perfect travel companion!FNP14
- your own photos instantly, some adjustment to them, draw directly on them. sounds like a blast to me.capn_ron
- its funny cause you can do this on any cheapo pc********
- about time ipad does something basic********
- also, be wary..."The latest iPad Pro loses the headphone jack, and its new USB-C port doesn’t support external storage"********

Like someone said on another website:
"Once again, another Blockbuster style Mega-anouncement event featuring basic product refreshers that could have been done just as well with a simple press release."
- The iPad Pro got a new redesign. Lot's of cool features. Don't think it's "simple press release" stuff. But there's always haters on every Apple keynote.NBQ00
- of course, Apple is the new MicrosoftBennn
- Still does much better and more innovative products than MS. Not sure why the bitching. The new iPad Pro and its features are stunning.NBQ00
- Not comparing products, Apple seems to be hated like MS did before. The more popular you become the more hate you receive, it seemsBennn
- but admit that Apple isn't the same Apple as it used to beBennn
- did you watch it live, Bennn?monospaced
- what I'm genuinely curious about is why, if every announcement event has been deemed boring, why does everyone tune in?monospaced
- If I remember correctly, in Apple's entire history, they've had maybe 3 events where they did something revolutionary, but everything else was just incremental.monospaced
- true but to be fair, Jobs ALWAYS claimed that everything they did was revolutionary ;)zarkonite
- He died like 10 years ago.monospaced
- fuk! 10 year already?pango
- not quitemonospaced
- mono you were referring to Apple's entire history no?zarkonite
- yes, I was, of which Steve was only on board for about 10 years totalmonospaced
- a little longer, but yeah ... they announced a Mac, then an iPod, then the iPhone. That's their contribution to revolutionary productsmonospaced
