Yeah I guess so. I think its silly they stopped doing regular MacBooks anyway tbh.

To be honest, there wasn't really a need for them. They dropped the price of the air, which is now probably on par or over the capabilities of the last MacBook. So the Air is basically now their entry level, basic 'MacBook'... back when they had the aluminum MacBook there lines between the pro and MacBook where really blurred. (Wish they'd put the same black bezel on the air though, that would look pretty darn sexy.)

True. It would be nice if they offered a little more variety though. I've never liked the Air really.

All I care about right now really is the new iPhone. I'm 90% sure they won't announce it today but I still wish they would. I just want to know what they have up their sleeve.

Also, if iPad Siri isn't made available for second generation iPads then ima be so pissed omg.

I know that feeling. Got mine last February... every time you buy one you think 'this is exactly what I want, I'm happy with it, whatever they bring out I won't want'... DAMN YOU APPLE, DAMN YOU.

and plus mine got replaced in november because it was breaking but not unusable. Why didn't I just live with a broken laptop until now and then get a new one for replacement.

Have a feeling either my iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 3G could become obsolete today

I wouldn't bet on it Sam, they're only announcing the next version of iOS today. They tend to update the iPod/iPhone line in October or September.

iPhone 3GS maybe, but not 4. They've supported the 3Gs since 2009, so the 4 should be fine for another year or so, hopefully. (I have the 4)

That's Apple though, which is a large part of the reason of why I love their stuff. Clear out the old crap, pushing things forward. But I agree, may of been a TAD premature... -never disagree's with apples decisions lol-

Yeah, I WANT A NEW HOME/LOCK SCREEN. Widgets, one-glance info. Current iPhone homescreen is a little stagnant.

Same, it's long overdue. I know the current one is sort of "traditional" for iPhone now but they could do with tweaking it a bit (or a lot) or at least offering other options. Samsung Galaxy has a much more customisable home/lock screen and it looks amazing. But I still prefer iPhone to Galaxy, just not the layout.

It always amazes me how to Apple iOS apps are sometimes worse than developer's apps are. IE Weather app / MET office weather app.

Siri is crap it takes a million years to work on everyone's phones I've tried it on, even when the signal is good I am impatient though.

Passbook looks pretty cool. That would be dead useful for someone like me who gets planes often.
