I’ve been pounding apple do some of the things you mentioned too over the years.
Macs have LOWER market share than iPhone. There’s big opportunities there to sell more with Win 8 floundering and halo effect of iOS.
it’s only recently that they started running Mac Ads again (stickies ad) but that only briefly. It’s sad they don’t push macs harder and emphasize how well they work (the ecosystem) with iOS
Macs are great, more people should be using them.

still I love the new products, phones , watch as well…
Not happening in the near future.
Next BS claim.
The MacBook Pro Retina Display, has to render at 3800×2400 in order to have scaling look good at lower resolutions. That resolution is the 16:10 equivalent to supposed broadcast 4K. Keep in mind true 4K is 4096×2160.
With that said, you can actually set the display to that resolution, (with third party tools) and read most everything. This is not a useable PDI, which means your Dock and menu bar are too small for practical use. However You can go to YouTube and decently play 4K streams and they look amazing.
With that said, I would suggest that Apple could release a 4K, Retina HD 27″ iMac, not keeping to the typical Retina standard. It will still look amazing, but it won’t have to 300DPI over a 27″ diagonal. At 4K, the DPI would be about 150. For a true Retina display the resolution would have to be close to 7200….
I don’t think we are ready for 8K displays.
“Keep in mind true 4K is 4096×2160”
That would make a ratio of about 17:9
I think you mean 4K is 3840×2160.
No, you refer to the UHD lower resolution spec for consumers. True 4K as shot in Hollywood cameras and shown in theaters is a bit more at 4096×2160.
Yes 1920×2.. I rounded
“I don’t think we are ready for 8K displays.”
I’m ready. I’m ready. I’m ready!
I can not afford it, but
I’m ready. 😛
I am ready for the powers of Apollo. It doesn’t mean the rest of the world is. 😛
Did DigiTimes have any of their claims proved true concerning the iPhone or Watch?
I’m due for a new Mac or iMac. Waiting for the new models. 😊
Noooooooooo. I just put an SSD in my 2011 Core i7 iMac. I want it to last a few more years without feeling obsolete….
The wife probably won’t be pleased with me over the next several months, if true:
I’ve already ordered a new iPhone
Probably going to have to be a part of history with an Apple Watch
And I’ve been waiting for a retina iMac to replace my mid-2011 27-incher . . . unless it dies, it’s the only thing that would get me to do it.
These screens are getting better than me old eyes. O’ course, that wasn’t a long trip.
YES! Please be true as I need to upgrade from my 2007 iMac27.
And I from my 2008 iMac 24″. Bring it on!
