2018 Macs: What to expect?

34 Comments on 2018 Macs: What to expect?

1. When you’re so early, you don’t know what to comment
   Cool.

2. Horror movie music in the background?

   • It’s October after all

3. no way in hell the new macbook air will be 999

   • maybe 1099? 🙂

   • Of course not! It will be $999.98.

   • yup the old one was cheap because it did not have a retina display

   • Slick Trademarc i will buy it when it costs 999$

4. It’s gonna be a thicker MB Air with retina and as a consequence shorter battery time. It’s gonna be heavier and cost 1299. Keep it Apple, it’s the Macbook Rare cause no-one is gonna buy it same as the silly Macbook 12! with 1 port.

5. Air Pods 2 and wireless charging mat.

6. Why don’t they get rid of the Air and make the Macbook better? Would make more sense

   • Cuz macs are still expensive in countries like Poland, Czech, Bulgaria or India where cheapest macbook air costs more thant two avarage salaries

   • Yeah, here in India macbook pro cost around 1.2 lakh (120,000) rupees which is equal to around 1600 dollars of US, 300 dollar more expensive of US price.

   • Because macbook air doesn’t have a stupid keyboard and have actually good ports

   • Better in what sense? It’s not good enough?

   • Macbook air is better because it’s affordable. macbook pro is the worst but with touchbar it is thinkable

7. I want new iMacs!!!

8. Is it possible that Apple uses iPhone processors to keep the cost of the Air down?

   • Nope. No report or news on that. Why? Because they need an OS for that. Mac OS is not supporting ARMs as far as I know. Besides when they buy so many CPUs in bulk I doubt that CPU is the component that push the prices up, especially because they can buy a lower performance model for “airs”

9. I can’t believe “bezels” have become the focal point for Apple products.

   • Either that or the ‘notch’.

   • MrBlaq access to memory, standard SSDs , updated internals, that should be the focus, so I agree with you

10. The IPad Mini is one of best iPads and I would love to see something there, the new iPhones are junk except memory upgrade, and I need something to replace my IPhone 6+ but the last good one was the 8. Hopefully I can get an iPad Mac-mini to do that. Already have 27” Mac with I7 so no stupid keyboard problems like my MacBook Pro.

11. Was there any information in this video?

12. Sorry for sounding so somber now but I don’t expect much. I’ve been both hyped and disappointed over Apple products so many times now. What the “creative pro market” needs is a modular mac that you can put custom hardware into and hook up your own screen to. But I mean honestly, what are the chances that they’re gonna go in that direction? It’ll probably just be another thermal throttling turd that costs way too much, can’t be upgraded and is very difficult(read: expensive) to repair. But I REALLY want to be proven wrong though..

13. It’s worth noting that Intel no longer offers a 15W chip combined with Iris Plus. I think maybe that’s the reason the 13″ nTB will be dropping the “pro” and going a bit downstream, presto, “mystery” budget macbook solved.

    • tipoomaster So you think that the new Macbook air is the old 13 inch Macbook Pro NON touch bar (nTB is really lazy typing and took me a while to figure it out)

14. Mini 5

15. I’m ready for a new iPad Pro! The 11 inch model.

16. I’m so sick of iOS devices. Give the Macs some love for a change! Picking up a Mac mini regardless since I need to replace my aging 2012 model.

    • If its an i7 2012 model then you are still good to go. After the 2014 mac mini fiasco you think they will make a quad core cpu mac mini again? I really doubt it. And just checked the 2012 i7 mac mini vs a i7-8550U cpu (8th gen true quad core cpu for laptops) and guess what, except for power consumption the difference is minimal, maybe up to 10%. GPU wise we don’t even care because you won’t game on either of them anyway, plus you’ll have eGPUs to rely on. So to conclude I think the 2012 i7 model will still be a better choice CPU wise, upgradability wise and of course PORT wise.

17. We’ve been waiting for the iPad Pro 12.9 since spring, hope it FINALLY SHOWS UP

18. can someone tell me why is every tech youtuber so focused on bezels ??!

19. Jeff, what’s music (instrumental) 1:01 are playing on background? I like this!!
