This is good news.

No, I only started hearing about 6E last Summer right before Eero made their product release. I wrote an email to their support team inquiring why they didn't include the spec in their newly announced mesh units. They never answered. I suspect these products go into production months in...

I could have upgraded my Eero mesh system this past year to WiFi 6, but knowing 6E was another few months away, I waited. I suspect that we will see mesh systems from Eero, Google, Amplifi, Linksys (and others) going into Q4. As for routers, there are already a few currently available. I am...

Aaaah! Just looked that up: IEEE 802.11ax-2021 or 802.11ax is an IEEE standard for wireless local-area networks (WLANs) and the successor of 802.11ac. It is marketed as Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz) by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Why can't those f-ers just put WiFi 6E in the...

Sam, what am I missing on these? It says WiFi 6 networking but not specifically 6E. Is there a word or spec in there that isn't clear? There may be a term I am not familiar with that is making me completely miss the 6E spec.

Is the MIMO a 6E spec? I will have to look again at the iMac and iPad, but I don't remember seeing MIMO.

Been sitting on the back deck in 70-degree NJ weather doing a lot of online reading. There's speculation that the larger 27" and 30" iMacs could roll out in September/October when the MX2 chips are announced. That would not be too bad. That's basically 6 months away to release date.

Neither the new iMacs nor iPad Pros have WiFi 6E. Huge missed opportunity here as some companies are already rolling out products. Never mind. Apparently, they do.

Here is today's Apple Event in its entirety

Yeah, you are right. That also explains the "fun colors" which most serious users would probably sneer at. I see a lot of complaints on Facebook about there not even being a black option. It has been a very frustrating few months for those of us that want more powerful computers. In five...

These new M1 iMacs remind me of the disappointments that came with the announcements of the AIR, MBP, and Mini late last year. This is yet another entry model that may appease the casual user but frustrates anyone looking for something more powerful. You are only getting the smallest iMac at...

My current iPad which I sold shortly prior to this event was 3 years old. I am getting a device that is incredibly faster and has a new LED display. Just basically getting a more modern device. Airtags? Think of TILE. Do you know about that technology? It is a small tag that attaches to...

I am still trying to justify the upgrade as I have no issues with my AT4k. It does handle 4k @60FPS better, but I am not certain I have any real-world need for that at the moment. However, I will slowly replace the 3 units across my home, all with 32GB models. Have to get an iPad first then...

The new Apple TV 4K starts at $179 for 32GB of storage and will be available to purchase starting on April 30th. A 64GB model will also be available for $199. New revamped remote. If you can, go view the rerun of the event as it shows that the TV can be calibrated with your iPhone

Never mind. You can price it out on the Apple store now. Interesting, you get $200 back on the cellular model with activation through the major phone companies. Have to look into the fine print on that offer. EDIT: It's in Bill Credits of $5 per month

Hope they put a preorder option in the Apple Store App so you can kind of price out the different specs on the new iPad Pro and put it into preorder queue -- the same way they let you do for the iPhones

(wonder if there will be ONE MORE THING but we are at the hour mark)

I am going to consider 5G now that I don't have to buy a new pencil but may continue using my iPhone as a hot spot. Will see.

Putting April 30 on my calendar. Yes, the $100 bump is worth it and cheaper than I had anticipated.

Okay, $100 price bump

No new pencil? That will save me money

Okay, so the new iPad Pro fits the former folios and keyboards

Isn't watch hardware updates reserved for around Q4? I forget. I know it's not this early.

I'm beginning to fear what the price on this Pro is going to be

????

Like the center stage panning feature. Very cool

Hope these new Pros fit the former keyboard folios

I just want 256GB

Face it, we need one, so whatever it costs... This will be the sole device I will be buying today.

I HOPE but don't expect they will keep the $999 price for the 12.9" version
