Didn't he say that he would never release an iPhone with a bigger screen too?

He didn't technically say this but it was mildly implied by ripping larger phones.

I love Gizmodo's coverage...

There's 75% less reflection compared to the previous generation, in case you're bringing your iMac to the park.

The #1 desktop in the US, because no one buys desktops anymore.

Not that you can really use Thunderbolt for much these days, but hey.

You can't see pixels when you're reading email (because you... hated that?), and pro applications like Aperture are actually useful on it.

Now releasing (updated/new) iPad 4th Gen...A6X processor (double graphics/CPU performance...like iPhone 5), lightning port, etc.

[effingidiot]

It's iPad 4...
Oh, and here's the 7.9" mini

[MM99lude]

Anything on the iOS 6.0.1 or maybe even 6.1?

[black13]

Feel bad for people who bought the iPad 3. Was just released like 8 months ago no?

Mini looks good actually. Let's hoooope for a decent price
Damn no retina!

And direct shot at Nexus 7. I think it's the first time Apple has compared themselves to a Google product. They mad.
Google's conference is on Monday. Maybe they'll respond.

Base model iPad Mini (16gb wifi) at $329

[blitz]

I bought a 3, I feel no need to upgrade. It seems plenty fast and the screen is the same.

I'll skip the mini this generation since it doesn't have retina.

it's not anymore portable than a regular IPAD. Anything over 6" is going to require a separate carrying case / pouch / bag etc. 6" and under is about the size where you can fit it inside a large pocket or an inside jacket pocket. Seems like designers are missing this point. Galaxy Note 2 is close to the ideal size for optimal portability. Too bad about it's terribly outdated hardware and high price.

There are rumors Google will offer a new Nexus 7 model with 32 GB. The entry-level 16 GB Nexus 7 could also drop to $99 from $199.

$99 for a 16GB Nexus 7 would be ridiculous.

AAPL shares took a massive dive after prices have been announced

Holy that would awesome.

Although even now $329 for 16GB iPad mini vs Nexus 7 32GB at $249.

Apple directly compared the mini to Nexus yet their's is still way more expensive. They should've reduced the price.
They rushed this conference and the ipad 4 launch to counter Google but this doesn't seem the best way to do that.

[black13]

What? so are they are discontinuing iPad 3 yet still gonna sell the iPad 2? This is bizarre.

[eglove]

I want to know the vid card specs on all the new models! Come on apple store. Refresh faster!

.

And then 6-8 months from now you're going to feel bad for the people who bought the ipad 4 because the ipad 5 would be coming out soon. After that you're going to feel bad for the people who bought the ipad 5 because the ipad 6 is coming out shortly after. After that you're going to feel bad for the people who bought the ipad 6 because.........

I hope you get the drift because i can go on.

AAPL shares takes a massive dive every time they unveil something new. It's bizarre.

[Zephyr]

Well..at least when at shows my view won't be blocked by a 10" screen...now it will be blocked by a 8" screen.

[eglove]

Yeh my Nexus 7 fits in my jacket pocket perfectly. 1cm wider it wouldn't fit
