October premieres of Apple: iMac with retina, Mac mini, two iPads and others

For me, the event began with a friendly inscription:

- so I will follow what is happening on the TechCrunch report , organizing the information as much as possible and adding clumsy remarks of my own. The presentation as a whole went without surprises: iMac with retina, the new Mac mini and OS X Yosemite were quite expected. And iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2 completely leaked to the Internet the day before.
First about current affairs
The new Apple logo for the Chinese market (actually not):

Tim Cook simply says that iPhones in the Middle Kingdom will be sold immediately by all three local mobile networks, and the volume of pre-orders is already amazing.
Apple Pay has gotten partners with another 500 new banks and many retailers.

Apple line:

Judging by the fact that they show the old iMac, the design of the new one will not change - only they will add retina, but the insides will be updated (probably). An hour later: it happened.
Developer Minute: 94% of users use the last two versions of iOS, while Android camps are full of confusion and reeling. In general, writing applications for iOS is easier and more enjoyable:

The SDK for the Apple Watch will appear in November, and the watch itself will be around early 2015. Full time to write your applications.


Tim Cook shows bitsuhu:

iOS 8.1
From Monday:

In Habratwitter, the Habr icon on the screen in Cupertino was burned :

Find you too . If you find it faster than in 13 seconds, then you enter 2% of the smartest people on Earth (infa is not 100%).
OS X Yosemite
Yosemite will be available for download today: The

traditional picture about JavaScript processing speed in Safari:



This screenshot of the new Safari caused ecstasy among Yandex browser fans :

WiFi Direct AirPlay
Direct Wi-Fi transmission AirPlay is a competitor to Intel WiDi (which, for example, in my house didn’t work so well). It connects Apple devices and Apple TV to the same network, allowing you to transfer data over the air with the speed of Wi-Fi.

Security enhancements
Apple apparently decided to comment on regular plums.


We called the popular comedy host Steven Colbert.

"Chef of Secrecy"
The security protocol inside Apple includes a secret handshake:


(I recall Gandalf from The Fellowship of the Ring: Keep it secret. Keep it safe.)
iPad Air 2
In response to the talk that sales of iPads are falling, Cook began by selling 225 million tablets in 4 years - more than any other product of all time (even iPhones and iPods? Need to check).
iPad Air 2 is the thinnest tablet in the world, 6.1 mm.

A8X chip, motion sensor, barometer, anti-glare screen and TouchID.

If I don’t confuse anything, Android only yesterday announced support for 64-bit architecture. Apple is already the second generation of 64-bit processors.

The processor is faster than 40%, the graphics are 2.5 times more powerful.
A lot of words about the camera (8 megapixels) and beautiful photos on the screen, shot on a new iPad. With your permission, I will not copy them here, but rather I will tell a joke:
One photographer, being invited to the party, took some of his pictures in order to show them to the guests on occasion.
The hostess, seeing the pictures, exclaimed:
- What amazing photos! You, apparently, have a very expensive camera!
The photographer didn’t answer her anything, but said goodbye at the end of the evening and said:
“Thank you, the dinner was excellently prepared!” You must have very good pots!
The camera can shoot video at a frequency of 120 frames per second in 720p resolution - if you play them at normal speed, you will get a five-fold time dilation - slowly i.e.
Wi-Fi 802.11ac accelerates to 150 Mb / s (which means files on AirPlay will not slow down even if you broadcast a 50-gig 3D film) and supports 20 LTE bands.
Apple Pay is only for online payments - there is no NFC, which means it’s useless to put your iPad to the cashier in the store.
Super-cool applications for creating films, editing music and video:

Thanks to direct access to the video card, they promise ultra-fast rendering.
- Prices for iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi: $ 499 for 16 gigs, $ 599 for 64 gigs and $ 699 for 128 gigs.
- Prices for iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi and LTE: $ 629 for 16 gigs, $ 729 for 64 gigs and $ 829 for 128 gigs.
iPad mini 3
A golden color of the case appeared (I have no idea why this is so important, but in every insider about the new iPads there was always something about the golden color):

Fish of my dreams!
The display is 7.9 inches and the same buns as that of a large iPad.
- Prices for iPad mini 3 with Wi-Fi: $ 399 for 16 gigs, $ 499 for 64 gigs and $ 599 for 128 gigs.
- Prices for iPad mini 3 with Wi-Fi and LTE: $ 529 for 16 gigs, $ 629 for 64 gigs and $ 729 for 128 gigs.
Preorder from tomorrow, shipment from next week.
Previous generations of tablets have traditionally fallen in price:

iMac with retina
Wat so wat:

27 inches, 5120x2880. Apple calls it the “retina 5K display.” 7 times more pixels than FullHD. It's already scary to think about the price.

A traditional tricky picture announcing that the aimak will be five millimeters thick. At the edge:

And here are the prices:


The dollar exchange rate of 40 rubles means that the prices for the new aimak now start at around 100 thousand rubles - thanks to Putin for that.
Delivery from today.
Mac mini
The most anticipated update: Mac mini. Outwardly, no surprises:

The minimum price has dropped as much as $ 499. The threshold for entering the kingdom of poppies has never been so low - to buy an iPhone is even more expensive. You can already order it too.
Well that's all. The new iPads and aimak with retina - as predicted, the new poppy mini - as hoped, and even better, because it's super cheap. The 13-inch iPad hasn’t happened yet, but the new Macbook Air hasn’t been shown yet, which means that Microsoft will troll the niche of ultrabooks with its Surfeys alone.
The store has already opened: store.apple.com/en
