Did anyone watch Apple's WWDC today?

[chad]

Did anyone see it? The Mac Pro and iOS7 both look epic. The Macbook Air got the much anticipated Haswell. iOS7 is finally almost everything I could want it to be. I don't think I'm going to jailbreak anymore. Any thoughts?

The Mac Pro looks wicked. Not excited about iOS 7 I wish they would just keep improving what they have.

Yeah I'm torn about the design of iOS7 but the features are much needed. I jailbreak to use things like control panel where you can quickly change wifi settings, brightness and more without going to different settings. The new Photo's layout looks great too. What do you not like about it?

I must not use my Mac Book Pro very well because I have no idea what you are talking about.

Rumors say the Mac Pro could cost $3,000?

Wouldn't surprise me. The entry level quad core right now is $2500. Entry level 12-core is like $3800 starting.

Honestly, they usually add a few really useful features, but I'm sick of seeing them rearrange a few interfaces or change some color schemes, and rave about how revolutionary that is. Meanwhile, there are things with the existing features that need to be fixed, and aren't. How long did it take them to add copy/paste to iPhone???

iCloud was awesome a couple years ago, and the update to Notification Center is pretty cool. iTunes Radio seems pretty pointless, and the updates to Safari, multi-tasking, and the new Control Center are all just face lifts that should have happened before now to get iOS up to par with competitors.

Exactly. They *just* got the current iOS pretty stable, so now they introduce some new **** that'll probably have a whole new batch of issues. And I'll bet they STILL don't improve the group messaging system.

Whatever the improvements- no matter how great they are- if you have trouble with it you'll still end up dealing with a scruffy kid at the Apple Store.

Jesus Christ. For that price you could build a PC that would fly the space shuttle. Apple nuts are Crazy!

Actually, for that price, you're able to build a computer that is just about as fast as the Mac Pro but without OSX.

I've done it. The hardware in a Mac Pro is not cheap.

I just retired my previous Mac Pro after eight years, so the cost/benefit is definitely worth it.

This boi ain't kiddin. That's some serious hardware.

It seems the epic PC vs Mac is how macs are expensive. 6-8 years of USE divided out over price isn't bad

I dunno, I heard they were going to have a purple one this year! The red ones are supposed to be uber cool too!

Yep my 2007 iMac is still running like the day I bought it.

So is my Toshiba.
What's the benefit of an Apple?

My Dell XPS 630 from '08 is still running like a top too. I just don't see the practical difference between the two OS's for my uses, and PC just has so much more hardware and software options.

I'll pay $1500 for a mid range PC, I will not pay $2800 for a mid range Mac.

But does your Toshiba come in flavors like "Grape" or "orange"? I didn't think so!

Oh, I didn't know the "fruit" package was an extra grand.
