From yesterday's presentation Applu, which was very likely the last one this year, is now more than 24 hours away. Although the whole Keynote and products presented there, there are also things that disappointed us. So let's imagine our five biggest disappointments.

Price MacBooku Air
The arrival of a new generation MacBooku Air really pleased us. The previous model already needed improvements in the form of Retina displays and better hardware components like salt. But its price is completely incomprehensible to us. The basic model is sold for 35 crowns, which is quite a lot. Especially when Air It has always been aimed at students and budget users who needed a reliable laptop at an affordable price. But now this group is getting a computer that is beautiful, reliable, powerful, and offers very good battery life, but at a price close to the base model. MacBookfor Pro or 12” MacBookat sales prices that are still significantly higher than those for which older ones are sold MacBooky Air. It is therefore no longer possible to speak of the good availability of this machine. We would much rather see a new MacBook Air in the position of its predecessor with a price tag of around 30 thousand crowns, which would make much more sense to us.
Zero upgrades for iMacs and MacBooky
In our opinion, it is a shame that the iMacs that are not upgraded are also MacBookIt has been more than a year and a quarter since their last update, so it would miniIn short, the deployment of a new generation of processors was definitely worth considering. In no case would we AppThey didn't want a completely overhauled product. All that was needed was an upgrade, which the iMacs received last June, for example, when they were Apple just installed a better computeronenty, making it more attractive to many users. However, a piece that has not been updated for a year and a quarter will discourage many from purchasing it.
Abstain AirPower
A product that attracts attention without us knowing any details about it. The excitement of its introduction, which took place more than a year ago, has been replaced by frustration at its absence from store shelves, which has been longer than is healthy. Although there have been many reports in the past about its "guaranteed" arrival, none of them have turned out to be true and we are still waiting for the charger. However, when interesting hints appeared in the beta codes iOS 12.1 and in the brochures for the new iPhones, a spark of hope flared up again and we hoped that yesterday was the day when AirPower will "ceremoniously" enter the store shelves. But again, it will nesthello.
Unannounced Apple Pay
The last few weeks have been full of information and hints regarding the arrival Apple Pay really rich to the Czech Republic, so many of us thought that October 30 could be a lucky day in this regard. Although we expected that yesterday would be primarily about hardware, in the past we Apple He has proven several times that he has no problem breaking established rules. A great example was last year's WWDC, which, in addition to software, showed off a 10,5″ for the first time iPad Pro, HomeUnder and iMac ProUnfortunately, on services Applu a Apple Pay Yesterday there was almost no speech.
Absence of products with a "wow effect"
The latest disappointment stems not so much from yesterday's event, but rather from this year in general. AppWe are simply used to watching innovations, and there have been very few of them this year. While last year many of us were stunned by the introduction of the bloated iMac Pro, we admired the curves HomeWhether they watched the presentation of the revolutionary iPhone X with interest or in love, this year brought nothing with a "wow effect". Therefore, we in the editorial office hoped that at least yesterday would be different in this respect and Apple will show a product that will literally take our breath away. Unfortunately, that is not entirely nesthello. I certainly don't mean to say that the new Apple toys aren't interesting, quite the opposite. Such enthusiasm as the new iPhone X or AirBut they definitely didn't call the Pods. Where is the second generation? AirPods, frameless iPhone SE, Magic Keyboard with Touch Bar or similar product?

Despite a few disappointments, we must... Keynote evaluate as successful. We cannot call any of the presented products unsuccessful, quite the opposite. Moreover, we are already slowly preparing to review them, thanks to which we will be able to get a perfect picture of them. And who knows, maybe the "wow effect" will appear while creating reviews. Either way, share your opinions in the comments keynote and what pleased you about it and what was missing from it.
Maybe if he had an advisory processor, he would have defended the price. Or they should have ditched the Retina, given it FHD and sold it for 999.
Terribly written article.
And what did you ask? :D
Anyway, the prices are terrible. Like for the same money either MacBook Pro, or Air … nooo I don't know I don't know.
I was very unpleasantly surprised by the Czech price of the basic Airus only 128GB SSD + brutal surcharges for larger capacity. I was also waiting for an upgrade/new one iPad Mini and nothing... and it didn't come magic"one "more things" ;-)
OMTs are out, just like the glowing logo on the new MB Air :(
One more thing – last time with Steve.
TO EVERYONE who works for Czech money:
APPLE he doesn't have the slightest idea that there is some small fart country in the middle of Europe where there are crybabies who don't have his products...
YES to them YOUR moans are politely spoken at the back of the body ….
So those products are for not even 20 countries in the world? And only an asshole thinks that everyone west of our borders takes bambilions and buys absolutely everything every year Apple shows. It's clear that you were in Dresden, in Kaufland. In the West, they only sell phones when they're subsidized. And then you can buy the statues for a few pennies.chatka, or watches. But no one buys the rest of the product. HomePods are rolling in the glass and computers are falling in number of units sold every year.
LSA: how can you be disappointed with the price Airfor 36k, when previously the probable price was starting at 1200 USD, which is 27,5k... That would be for 30 with all the extras added to it :-)

Honestly, the price of 35 for new ones will be awful Macbook air high, when iPhone XS costs more or less the same amount??? It's mainly those who have it who are crying over the prices Apple products for seizure (coz, but chapu). But for a person who actually works on them, the price has to be repaid within a month or two, so it's no big deal and you have a computer for several years, while the phone probably won't last that many years and besides, you can't really do much work on it. If a person calculates the price of the device for the time it will last, it is not so bad.
Why am I not surprised? 🤔 I have to admit that I found myself wondering LSA I look at a few emails completely differently...😉
I am cautious and will wait with my judgments. I was scared to use BT 4.2, which I see as a big risk from the point of view of investment protection. I have an old memory vividly Air, which does not allow, for example, unlocking with a watch, just because of the older BT version.
I'll probably wait for the next version with BT 5. By the way, also introduced Mac Mini it already has BT 5... And the new versions of MB Pro also have it...
Why?
Apple should seriously notice ;)

Let everyone say what they want, Apple he died together with Jobs. Like Tesla and SpaceX, it will die with Musk. Tim Cock is no visionary, nor is he anywhere near the personality of Jobs. Under Jobs, everything was precise, when a mistake came, it was solved immediately, products were more intuitive, they were expensive, but not overpriced. And most importantly, there was an innovation that everyone who had all five together understood that something had to be paid for. Development simply costs something.
What they represent now are just money-squeezers. I don't know of anyone in my area who would buy anything from me now. Applu enthusiastically introduced. On the contrary, when someone comes with X and I ask them if they are satisfied, they say, I don't know, it's an ordinary phone, I don't care, not at all. I am not a Apple hater. I have everything from them. But with their pricing policy and especially, MAINLY, the presentation of ordinary, uninnovative crap, they are just an ordinary company for me, which has long had its competitors. And just for the software, I definitely don't want to spend the money nestdrawbar.
My speech. Respect.
I was disappointed that no wireless headphones were introduced. I'm waiting for those the most and I don't want to buy the old ones. :((
Bang and OlufsI recommend it.
