He's a master. Treads the line of believable/ridiculous so well.
ICHB HTSTPY
Meaningless gibberish. Must try harder 👿

I did. It didn't.
Can I have a refund, please?
(Unless you call replacement of rechargeable batteries rather than being rechargeable for life "life changing")
Have I been duped? Ha ha.
You're not the only one, far from it!

Will always deliver you to the wrong address, a day late I presume 😀
Finally!
The iPad pro
Like the iPad, but Moar 😆
The haters are going to love the pencil....
Surprised to see Microsoft on stage
Thought they would have played Darth Vaders entrance music for microsofts introduction

yup,
iPad Pro is going to kill the laptop market below 600 quid, I'm not sure why you would bother with anything else?
Any news on them fixing the "Singletrackworld Crashes Safari" issue yet?
That's the feature I'm really holding out for.

I'm pretty sure that Tim's saving that for his "One more thing" section

Eddie's got a bit paunchy.
Apple TV - why can they not integrate that remote into the phone? I've got a WDTV app - i don't want another remote

Wasn't the add blocker stuff announced a day or two ago?
They seem to be demonstrating frogger
its hipster frogger, its different 😆

They do. There is a Remote app.

It's not the ads that break Safari - it's the Javascript for those Video/Img/URL buttons.

You've been able to control the Apple TV with an iPhone for years....
I only flicked onto it quickly, soon got bored haven't got a clue what's been released apart from the new Apple TV but I'm gonna go download crossy road to the iPad now!
An iPen ? que? whose that aimed at then?
iWoch OS2, does that mean iWoch is now longer on Trend?
iPad Pro? Crap thats huge.
I'm breathing fine BTW

yer course, but they seem to be pressing the new remote, never showed or mentioned it controlled by iPhone, the old remotes were somewhat more basic
price is good for the Apple TV
90 minutes in, phones not been mentioned, these things are getting long

yes yes yes, I've had an Apple TV, and had the app, the keynote didn't mention being controlled by iPhone at all
A 'Pro' tablet that's a bit bigger, has moar power and a stencil - they must have been up all night thinking up that one.
iPad Pro + Pencil = WIN. Been waiting for something like that for a long time - like the Wacom Cintiq, but way better (and a fraction of the price!). Should hopefully be a genuinely decent productivity tool, rather than just something for looking at! Can't wait to see what apps Adobe are going to come out with.

Oh goody. Flash! 🙂
All the non-incremental updates are a bit... dare I say it... PC.
Contextual menus, styluses, keyboards...
I'm a bit sad because I was hoping the iPhone camera was going to be one of those infinite focus ones like a Lytro. It'll happen one day.
Pretty standard offering for the 'S' upgrade. The 3D touch looked pretty good.
Is there a usb port and/or sd card slot?

MBP probably, iPhone / TV nope.

I hope it is but thats a pretty big leap to make based on what was shown. For starters the cintiq works with existing desktop applications, i've yet to see anything for iOS that I would use in preference to photoshop or illustrator.
Wacom has different styluses so you can pick the type that you feel most comfortable with, apple has 'pencil'. Now pencil might be great but you'd need to try it to see how it moves across the surface, what the level of friction is like, how well the tilt works.
The big cintiq is a 27" screen, iPad pro is less than half that.
In it's favour the iPad pro is portable and half the price, whereas I've seen flight cases available for transporting the cintiq.
At the moment for studio use I would still rather have the cintiq, but I certainly wouldn't buy one until I'd had a good test of both devices.

Really?
Surface pro 3. Same price, damn near same size, better storage, comes WITH stylus, better freedom of use (don't like Apples closed way of doing things) and, if the theories are to be believed, more RAM. Also a better front facing camera (but you lose 3MP on the back).
Or, you could get an actual laptop with an actual keyboard with actual upgradable RAM.
There are plenty of reasons not to choose an iPad Pro. In fact I struggle to think why I would choose one in the first place (but accept that I'm not the best person to ask).

isn’t the iPad limited to working on 50meg images? and i doubt it runs the whole of photoshop so no good for proper work but great presentation tool and second screen on location using capture1 (tethered camera software) screen is 2732×2048
Highlights then?? & your choice for "best in show"
Erm....
The iPen.
I also accept a lot of the cost of it was to pay for marketing and not R&D and manufacturing.
Annoying as Apple marketing and advertising is, the money spent is dwarfed by what Samsung and Microsoft are spending on such things.

Apple is pretty lean as a tech company, but their margins are off the scale! They make something like 98% of all margin for all smart phones, even though they have something like 30% of the smart phone market.
Edit: 92% of all margin from 20% of market

Oh, and big tablets are great, in a 2001 style, but using the moniker “Pro” is ridiculous. That goes for both the Apple and the MS toys. Patronising. “Pros” can use all sorts of hardware and software for their work… but adding the “Pro” name to these items is just about convincing consumers that it's worth spending more on their toy, and making them feel special about themselves.
Yes, Apples margins are off the scale… but their spending on marketing and advertising is still tiny compared to Microsoft and Samsung. Go look at the figures… it's amazing what those two spend on advertising tablets and phones.
I'll see if I can dig up some links, not looked for a while:
