  • OK so what will be the difference between the current apple tv and the new one besides the hardware being inbedded in the TV itself???

  • Question for Brian Tong as he is the Apple Byte guy. Do you think a retina iMac is ever a possibility? Or is it too pricey to manufacture and Apple to justify without alienating customers with an extortionate price tag? Also, what do you believe the likelihood of a 13 inch retina MBP release this year is? Greetings from the East coast of Canada.

  • I would love Apple to release a retina 14 inch or 16 inch mac pro... won't happen, but one can dream ;-D. Apple Maps is horrible but at least they have great company navigator app's you can buy for $80 + ;-D Loving the show form Australia WoOOo

  • what is the Music Jukebox of choice? I just switched to Amazon Cloud because I bought a galaxy s3, and I can download and stream.

  • Do you really think people will consider switching from iPhone to Windows just because software? Remember Surface's presentation, the guy needed to switch the tablet because it frizzed?

  • How come no one is talking about the iOS6 data leak. I used 2gb in a week and I have never gone over 2gb in a month? AT&T knows there is a problem they gave me a $50 credit. But this is a major problem and no one is talking about it.

  • I just hope they don't strip it down too much it I would be willing to pay more for something really good but in the smaller size. I really hope it has a good camera in it.

  • If apple wants to keep cred, they gotta go 199 or less on price (maybe a 8GB option..??)

    by David Hamilton
  • As David said, we're taking a break from comments during the event so we can all see what our CNET team in San Jose is reporting. Otherwise it would be too hard to follow what they're saying.

  • But please stick around. We'll turn on comments again after we have the news.
