The iPad Pro was impressive. Didn’t really get impressed by the new iMac. Hoping for a larger iMac Pro with M1X to upgrade to in the future.

I'd guess that'll be left for summer announcements, or at a push, WWDC in June.

I don't think they're going to release a M1X-based product. It will be M2X in fall based on A15's microarchitecture. Makes no sense to produce an entirely new chip based on A14's design for a June release.

We'll see 16-inch MBP and 32-inch iMac in September/October.

How so? By design it must have worse black reproduction.

Don't forget I said MicroLED. but here's an article.

Says up to 16GB on the product page:
https://www.apple.com/uk/imac-24/specs

Probably just a default configuration thing, once it opens up for order you can select 16GB.

Yes ta - I see it now

That’ll put the price up to a tidy £1849

Sounds like the larger iMac, whenever it comes will be eye watering when specced up.

 

[Feek]

Anyway, new AppleTV for me, nothing else there really interested me.

 

[Bluecube]

Bugger. No 27” or bigger iMac. Pretty gutted at that given that everything else we saw was impressive.

£200 for an extra 8GB? Come on, it will be £350

Well I never......i am surprised!!

I was annoyed that they didn't go higher end on the graphics side, to push into the living room gaming market even more. Not a priority right now apparently.

 

[Rilot]

New Apple TV is all I'm really interested in there. I've got a first gen iPad Pro 11 which is still fast so no need to replace it. iMacs don't interest me.

Hmmm, considering just getting the remote for now.

 

[Chris1712]

Does it support HD a audio bitstream yet? Still holding onto my Shield for now.

 

[ElliorR]

I have the original AppleTV 4K but just use the LG C9 AppleTV app so not sure if I’ll get the new TV. But at £999 for the 128gb iPad Pro I’ll be getting one to replace my 2017 10.5” jobby.

Are you asking if Windows on ARM can run x86 applications? If so I am not sure. I don't believe that Windows has anything similar to Rosetta 2.

Yes it can. Windows on ARM has been able to run 32 bit x86 apps for some time, and IIRC 64 bit is in preview, maybe released now.
