    Mac is old and boring. No one cares about Resident Evil, Capcom is porting that shit to every platform on earth. Show me Vision Pro please.

    Part of me hopes they give us another 13 MBP with a touchbar/M3. I know it’s wishful thinking but I’m still such a fan of the design and the capability it can provide above a fan less MBA

      I’m expecting a16 on the mini 7 as I’m more interested in the ram bump from 4 to 6. However if they do an m1 (which I doubt due to power consumption) that would be a no brainer buy for me.

        I don’t know how popular the Mini is but as a user myself I wouldn’t mind two versions, a Mini 7 and a Mini Pro. The 7 would have A16/A17 and the Pro would have M1/M2.

    There’s a rumor of a Japanese game dev involved in this event. Maybe a horror game from Kojima.

      Maybe a horror game from Kojima.

      If Apple brings back Kojima’s Silent Hill somehow, I’ll never not be an Apple fanboy for life.

    Unpopular Prediction, iPad Pro will be announced with little changes and only the new M3 chip.
