Apple Event for 18 October 2021, 10:00 PDT, 13:00 EDT begins. Commentary will stream as replies to this twt. I might miss things here and there, as I will also be on a work meeting from 13:00 to 14:00 EDT.

Everything starts in a garage… the history of Macs, pretty much, with music.

And here comes Tim on the field outside of the Spaceship.

Today is about music, and Mac. Now we know.

Talking about Apple Music and Siri.

New subscription plan for Apple Music: Voice Plan. Available for many countries. Using Siri to access songs. Meh.

Now talking about HomePod Mini. Not interested, sorry.

Now talking about AirPods.

Now, let’s talk about the Mac.

Now talking about macOS on Apple Silicone, and how the OS takes advantage of what the M1MAX has to offer.

Companies talking about their product line, and what the are doing to take advantage of the new SoC: speed, performance, etc.

New MBPs. Two screen sizes.

Got to dash now, my turn to speak at my meeting. 😩

No new iMacs, or Mac minis. I really wanted a new iMac with the new SoC, and a bigger screen. Not this time. 😩

You can get an Air for $1,000 (or $1,200 with 16GB). I have used it (with 8GB), and that machine flies. I can’t imagine how fast one with an M1MAX will feel.
