Apple TV is an upgrade 5 years out of date, and not 4K, seriously? :D
Not quite sure how you see it as 5 years out of date, the slick interface and Siri searching looks miles ahead of any other TV system I've used. I love my WD TV box but the interface is clunky as hell. As for 4K, meh. HD is more than fine for most people.

Will be interesting to see what apps developers come up with. That's the make or break thing really...
 
Actually I don't want a large screen phone. I hope the option for smaller phones never disappears.
I'm resigned to having to go slightly larger and get a 6s. Would still much prefer if they'd kept it the same size as my 5s though.

As for the iPad Pro? Meh. Not for me. I'm sure someone out there wants one though :D

OK, I was a bit over the top, I'm a disappointed fanboi, Siri search is still just a catch-up. But what irritates is that on the new iP6s I can recorded 4k video, assuming I have a 4k screen, I'd be unable to view via the new Apple TV. That's not streamlined,

That's where you spend more money on a 27" iMac :D
 
I couldn't workout the difference between 3D touch and say the accent selection on the keyboard.

Has 'live photo's' been explained; is it GIF or video?

Its a photo file, with extra files linked to it. The extra files will be something like video i guess.
 
So that iPad Pro is just one big rip off of Microsoft Surface, then, and one with a ton of flaws for its intended market:

If you buy an iPad Pro, you're trapped. Even though it has a powerful A9X brain to deliver faster compute and graphics capabilities, it doesn't address the needs of real-world computing. Without support for legacy ports, the iPad Pro's potential in the enterprise space is severely limited, unless IT administrators fully commit to Apple's ecosystem.

The iPad Pro lacks a USB port, which means you can't readily backup, transfer or share data via a USB flash drive. It also lacks a native DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort or HDMI port for video output, meaning you'll need an Apple TV and Wi-Fi to mirror your tablet's screen to a larger display to give presentations. And without a proper video output port, it also means you can't use it as a desktop replacement by connecting an even larger monitor to your tablet.

These are all basic capabilities that Microsoft has built into the Surface Pro 3.

Not only that, its not really even a ripoff of the Surface; it's a ripoff of the Surface RT. Because it runs iOS rather than the full Apple operating system, you can't run a full gamut of desktop software on it the way you can with a Surface. The only stuff you can run is stuff that has a specialized iOS app, and that's a very limited range of software compared to what's available for OSX.

These Apple announcement days drive me crazy. Apple make some absolutely fantastic products—my wife loves her Macbook Air, and if i were a squillionaire i'd buy one of those cylindrical Mac Pro jobs with a $2000 Xeon processor and 420 kajillion GB of RAM—but the bullshit hype of the launch days, combined with the squealing excitement of fanboys creaming their pants over minor and totally predictable hardware and ergonomic improvements, makes me want to punch them all in their fucking faces.

I was under the impression it still had a lighting port, so you can get usb/video out adapters..... have I misunderstood that?

In all honesty I have an iPhone and iPad as they work well with my mac computers..... I'm not bothered about the iPad pro or whatever its called.

As long as apple keep making banging computers, ill probably keep buying the other bits and pieces too.

I'll never forget the nauseating whopping of ecstatic joy when a minor memory upgrade to the iPod was announced. Utter dickheads.

They bring apple employees in to whoop though don't they.

I'd imagine their jobs are on the line if they don't..... lets not forget, apple is like the DPRK of the tech industry.
