Apple Event on September 12th


Recommended Posts

Okay, at exactly 9:18 GMT -5, we could read : "We'll be back within the hour. We are busy updating the store for you (...)", so the other guy on the other forum was right, they're doing the updates at 9 Eastern Time :yes:

Before that time, it was written "Cannot connect to the application instance". Maybe they were uploading the page, or I dunno, and they had to take their "web application" down while they were updating. I dunno.

Okay, well I'm starting at 10 so.. time to go to school ;)

I got my iMac a few weeks ago, now i learn about the new 24" Core Duo 2s !! Oh well, i guess the main feature i want is 64bit support! so i've actually put my iMac on eBay! ha

I got a MacBook Pro about 3-4 months ago, and i'm very happy with that. wouldn't sell that i don't think :)

I went to The Source CC the other day to buy an iPod Nano. They said they didn't have any more 4GB ones because Apple "stopped making them, because they're releasing a new model on the 12th." :blink: I find it hard to believe The Source CC people would know about it before anyone here.......

The Source CC is probably just assuming that will happen.

A tactic Apple typically uses is to let inventories run very low before an update (so everything is cleared out beforehand). Stores that deal with Apple can usually tell when something is going to be updated.

Interesting little tidbit - http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/ipo...-ads-199610.php

Apparently many of the major electronics retailers did not have a single iPod in any of their weekly ads that were released today. Many iPod speakers and accessories were advertised, but NOT actual iPod's.

I never have seen Apple not have iPod's in the flyers before, update or no update.

Makes me wonder if the iPod is getting such a radical update that Apple does not want to advertise the old ones to avoid confusion.

the futureshop flyer has the ipod for this week

I'm dying to get a new notebook and want a MacBook Pro, but I don't want to get one until the Core 2 Duo-based notebooks are out. Unfortunately, I've been reading that they have been delayed until 2007. Can anyone confirm this?

Apple never confirms or denies rumors.

The Inquirer isn't a very good source of accurate news either.

I would be shocked if it will take till 2007 to get Core 2 Duo's into at least the MBP.

If there'll be a MBP update it won't be tomorrow.

It's all about movie and iPod, no Mac updates.

I have a MBP from when it was announced. I don't care about MBP updates. I'm waiting for Intel's Santa Rosa and Leopard next year. I hoping for a new Nano though. I already sold mine a few days ago! If there's no new Nano, then I'll just get whatever new iPod get announced.

Edited by coolchan

if i bought a mbp now and the new ones with 64bit processor and leopard is released, could i sell mine with a little loss but still enough to buy a new one (with some cash of mine) or at least an eventual macbook 64bit?

i am a bit unsure about leopard, will it only be able to run on 64bit machines?

and: whats 10:00 pacific in gmt+1?

You will take a loss (I took about $400 loss going from my iMac G5 to my Macbook).

Leopard will run on 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It will also run on G4's and G5's.

Really though, why do you need 64-bit machines? No software yet (outside of scientific apps) can take advantage of it. Really you are talking 3-4 years down the line when the benefits could really start to show. By then, you will need a new computer anyways.

The event is scheduled for 10:00 am pacific time at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, Calif. Attendance to the event is extremely limited and invite-only.

Digital invitations sent to members of the media last week simply said "It's Showtime."

Jobs and Co. are expected to use the event to launch a full-length feature film service, new iPods and -- if the kinks have been knocked out -- a streaming device that will more closely wed the company's digital media strategy to the living room home theater.

I dont think Apple would announce any updates for MBP or MB, this event is called "showtime" its going to be entertainment and media related (movies and iPods announcements only), thats one reason that they released new iMacs before the event as they dont want to give out mixed messages.

WWDC was related to developers thus MacPro announced

SHOWTIME is media related therefore Apple's media products will be announced.

MBP n MB mite get similar silent treatment as iMAC.

You will take a loss (I took about $400 loss going from my iMac G5 to my Macbook).

Leopard will run on 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It will also run on G4's and G5's.

yea, that there is a loss is a clear thing but 400? aint that much. especially when having in mind that the imac g5 and the macbook are entire different generations of technologie.

okay, i didnt know that leopard would be able to run on 32 and 64 aswell as g4s and g5s. someone told me it would be 64 bits only.

i dont actually need 64 bit, i was just fearing that i would not be able to run leopard;);) but while i now konw that it will run on 32 aswell, i will buy my macbook next week or something.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
