The whole event is RE4 release 💀😂

[–] Shapes_in_Clouds@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mac is old and boring. No one cares about Resident Evil, Capcom is porting that shit to every platform on earth. Show me Vision Pro please.

[–] pricelesspatato3772@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

finally, someone who agrees with me

1AM Central European time, what a flex by Apple, lol

[–] peduxe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As soon as Johny Srouji is on screen you know something insane will happen with these new M chips.

[–] Snes91@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Part of me hopes they give us another 13 MBP with a touchbar/M3. I know it’s wishful thinking but I’m still such a fan of the design and the capability it can provide above a fan less MBA

iPad mini with m1 and 1tb storage

[–] MawsonAntarctica@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m expecting a16 on the mini 7 as I’m more interested in the ram bump from 4 to 6. However if they do an m1 (which I doubt due to power consumption) that would be a no brainer buy for me.

[–] thesourpop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know how popular the Mini is but as a user myself I wouldn't mind two versions, a Mini 7 and a Mini Pro. The 7 would have A16/A17 and the Pro would have M1/M2.

There's a rumor of a Japanese game dev involved in this event. Maybe a horror game from Kojima.

[–] skrrtskrrt2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe a horror game from Kojima.

If Apple brings back Kojima's Silent Hill somehow, I'll never not be an Apple fanboy for life.

Scary Fast = Release of the scary AAA game Resident Evil 4 on Mac

The whole story of the event is Apple's tremendous new GPU can now play games originally released on Gamecube in 2005 (Resident Evil 4).

WE WANTED TO DO EVEN MORE AND PUSH EVEN FURTHER INTO YOUR POCKET

Unpopular Prediction, iPad Pro will be announced with little changes and only the new M3 chip.

[–] Matuteg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is it the first evening event they’ve done?

[–] wish_you_a_nice_day@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Partnership with Nintendo!

[–] _pjanic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I predict they’ll release the M4 family.

It’s just the M3’s, but fuckit, bigger numbers are betterer.

[–] cartermatic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Doesn't seem likely, but I'd still love to see that rumored display that would sit between the Studio Display and the Pro Display XDR. Dream specs would be 27-32", 5k or 6k, Mini-LED or OLED, and the ability to go to 120 or 144hz. I know it can be difficult to drive the resolutions at that rate on current hardware and cable setups, but I'd love the ability to toggle between 5k60 and 4k120. I just want one monitor I can use professionally for work at 5k60, and then use that same monitor to game with my PC at 4k120.

[–] MrsMarshmallow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If they announce the iPad mini 7 I hope they put the A17 in it so it gets 8gb of ram, the 4gb in the current one just doesn’t feel like enough imo lol

[–] StopwatchGod@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Given how much power the M3 Max will draw I don't see it coming to the 14" Pro. M3 Pro will be on both 14" and 16" but M3 Max will be 16" only

[–] Purednuht@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I bought a MacBook out of state 10 days ago, it’s unopened.

If somehow this is something I wanna get, am I able to return the computer to my local Apple Store for a refund?

It was purchased at an Apple Store.

Macbook 16” M2 Pro 16g 512GB

[–] christopher_mtrl@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Return period is 15 days, so you'll be fine, but need to decide quickly !

[–] MawsonAntarctica@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m just wanting an iPad mini announced so I can see that Gurman and Kuo are just guessing in the wind.

[–] corruptbytes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i think new chips will have a big focus on AI training/LLM running

(i don't but i'm calling my shot)

[–] fuckyouu2020@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

M2 MacBook Pro 14 refurbished gonna be steal if it’s true

[–] shadowdra126@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just want the next gen of AirPod max to be announced

[–] silvermoonhowler@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Don't know if that'll happen tonight given that it sounds like it'll be centered around the next release of Apple silicon

[–] pillingz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just bought a new MacBook Pro 16 inch. I feel like a fool.

[–] n3xtday1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Depending on where you bought it, you might be able to return it.

[–] HanAszholeSolo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

$0.25 says everyone’s in costumes

[–] Excuse_my_GRAMMER@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What could it be … I hope all of this isn’t for a vision pro Halloween game
