That's not good enough for "one more thing" IMHO, then again Apple doesn't do "one more thing" these days anyway. But sure it's fine to put up in the early part of any keynote (I guess an invite is due by next Tuesday given travel planning for the media). Apple TV is part of that, of course. That would disrupt gaming as Gabe Newell predicted Apple would. I think it's a very big deal.

Not sure if you had heard, but All-Your-Private-Info-Belong-To-Us Google just changed its Google Plus and YouTube terms of service to actually use members' photos and names in ads. So glad I never linked my YouTube account to Google as the dicks have been pestering me to do. So some Google members are changing their profile pics to that little rat Eric Schmidt. Lulz, another reason not to use Google products. "When the product is free, you are the product." Can you imagine if Apple tried shit like this, and people were doing this with SJ's pic? Apple would get crucified. The really despicable thing about the change, is that if you don't want to participate, you have to opt out.

A 13" iPad, as described, makes very good sense, and would definitely be a new category. Although I see it cannibalizing iPad and MacBook sales, it has the potential to do far greater damage to Wintel laptops. The last remaining "Mac" products running classic OSX would be the mini, iMac and Mac Pro, but would they really need to run OSX? Could future iterations of iOS, and the A(7), be more than powerful enough to handle the computational needs of power computing users? [edited to add] I see pricing on such a device at $1100 (minimum). It would have greater mobility, greater utility with performance at least equal to the 13" MacBook Air.

Gregg
Please look into Kuo's numbers from KGI. His 10.4 million 5c numbers leads me to calculate between 61-80 million iPhones for Dec quarter.
Apply the 3:1 or 4;1 ratio to 5s, then slap a 51-58% sales rate compared to 5C and 4S.

Kuo and the others are just playing catchup with me.

I think it's a very big deal. iGame set-top box WOULD be a nice "one more thing", if a bit marginal in significance (because the video game industry or even app-enabled set top boxes are a touch "niche"). I still think it'd be a pretty big deal though.

I was watching a TV show "On Demand" and consequently forced to suffer through commercials. There was an ad for what I mistakenly thought, as I was viewing for the first time, a future iWatch. It was not an iWatch. Has everyone already seen and discussed this, and I'm late to the party as always?

Maybe it's better Apple didn't publically announce future products if the aforementioned are still years from hitting the marketplace...? iTV and iWatch...?

I think intel Macs will still be necessary for quite a while yet for specific Pro App users, namely anything involving significant image rendering (video/photo/3D modeling) and of course the constantly growing iOS App developer community. I don't think switching to Arm on the desktop machines provides much in the way of benefits (as battery life issues are non existent), however an iOS notebook makes sense for the average consumer/office suite user, due to superior battery life, security & overall experience.

Maybe it's just me but when referring to "new products" -- I don't consider enhancements on current ones or different sizes to be "new products." I guess it can be referred to as a "new category" but a NEW PRODUCT is something DIFFERENT. That's what TC promised for Fall '13 and 2014. So let's see what happens on the 22nd, if not then I guess we sit and wait until 2014. It doesn't seem that WS rewards this company for stellar earnings or excellent products...it's all about "What new thing have you done for me lately?" It still is one of the most disliked stocks but it seems to be turning a bit...we're just not there yet, kids.

I did NOT expect to see anything but the fruit logo.

Should the day ever come when Apple releases a product like the Galaxy Gear, then that will be the day I sell every single AAPL share I own.

I don't think switching to Arm on the desktop machines provides much in the way of benefits (as battery life issues are non existent), however an iOS notebook makes sense for the average consumer/office suite user, due to superior battery life, security & overall experience. I think Intel Macs address much more than pro users who need processing power. Anyone contemplating a switch to an iOS notebook would look at every piece of software that they use or are considering using. If switching forces them to abandon even one software package that is important to them, then they won't switch. Without some kind of bridge back to important legacy software, I just don't see an iOS notebook being attractive to the vast majority of the market. The MacBook Air already shuts down battery life as a reason for such a product to exist. I see these issues for switchers and first time buyers. Without a MAJOR price advantage, why would anyone want an iOS notebook instead of a Mac one? At $1100, there is no advantage. Also, if there is ever a need to even open one Office document in the lifetime of owning such a product, users of such a product will be seriously disappointed. Even to the moderately informed, an iOS notebook should be a non-starter due to this issue. This is fresh in my mind. I wrote a Word doc on my Mac yesterday. NOT ONE of my iPad productivity apps can properly display this file. That includes Pages and Doc's To Go. The reason? I pasted PDF tables into it that originated in Excel. This is just the latest in the long line of failures for the iPad to let me properly work with Office files. Even if Microsoft fixes this, the legacy software issue still makes this a stillborn idea in my opinion. Also, what would make the security and overall experience better on an iOS notebook compared to the Mac version? The Mac experience is strong and getting stronger.

Rob London, do you mean a product so raw and poorly designed or do you mean a smart watch? Curious. I can see a decent market for smart watch from apple. Not iPad/iphone size but bigger than most would think. Just not close to the ugliness of galaxy gear

I did NOT expect to see anything but the fruit logo. Both the product and the commercial looked Applesque. I just don't believe that an "iWatch" designed by Apple is going to be an iPhone shrunk to fit the form factor. I think it going to be much more than that.

Agreed. After testing out the pebble smart watch(some say number 1 current product), I see the potential of future smartwatches and how bad they currently are. Pebble is compatible with iOS but the user interface makes me realize how apple products always just work and I take this for granted. To check weather/stocks/twitter etc app needs to be open on phone not in background. Plus notification problems
