What new hardware are you most looking forward to from Apple in 2012?

Georgia — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:51:27 +0000

There are a thousand rumors floating around about new Apple hardware this year but we’re only interested in one — your most wanted. As expected, both CES 2012 and Macworld 2012 have come and gone without a peep from Apple, but they did give us an education event with some iBooks 2, iBooks Author, and iTunes U goodness. But I’m about ready for new hardware.

iPad 3 is likely up next, and the big rumor is Retina display on the order of 2048×1536. Less certain but still desirable are quad-core chips and LTE networking. Much the same rumors apply to the iPhone 5, just replace the already-present Retina display with an oft-requested 4-inch screen. You could throw a 7-inch iPad in there for good measure to.

Is it something subtler you’re waiting for, like NFC support, or something more dramatic like 3D?

Apple TV hasn’t been updated in over a year, so are you really craving some 1080p or are you all about the Apple iTV televion rumors now?

Maybe it’s the Mac you want — more specifically a 15-inch MacBook Air? A redesigned Mac Pro? If you could get just one big hardware gift from Apple this year, what would it be?

Apple Store Down! [Not for White iPhone 4]

TiPb nation, rev up your ZOMGS and get ready for SQUEEE — the Apple Online Store is down world wide.

Now before you get too excited, this is not for the White iPhone 4. That’s been delayed until later this year. Unfortunately, this time it’s probably not for any iOS devices. If the rumors are true, what we’ll see today are 12-proc Mac Pro, updated iMac, 27″ LED displays, and maybe — just maybe — the MagicPad multitouch trackpad for the Mac.

Give us your best guesses in the comments and we’ll find out just as soon as the store comes back up.

Apple Intros New Mac Mini, iMac, Mac Pro, Airport Extreme, and Time Capsule

Mac Mini, iMac? Check. Check. Mac Pro. Check. Airport Extreme. Check. Time Capsule. Check. Yep, that’s the rumor list Apple just plowed through one after the other, with nary anything resembling a “Spotlight on Desktops” Event in sight.

Nary anything, aside from the friendliness of the new routers, approaching iPhone updates either — though we imagine new developers eyeing Macs to get into iPhone App-making with have their hands, and charge cards, full today.

You getting anything?

Apple Store Down!

We repeat, this is not a drill! The Apple Store is Down! Reports are flooding in from all over the intertubes… Details are sketchy but could this be the Mac Mini, iMac, and Mac Pro update to bring in Nvidia chipsets and Nehalem cores? What about a new 30″ LED Display? How about those iPhone friendlier Airport Extreme and Time Capsule base stations we just heard about? And what does this mean for that Apple Special event we heard rumored for March 24? Almost certainly no new iPhones yet, but last March was the iPhone SDK Road Map event…

Find your loved ones. Cling to them. And hold to hope. The Apple Store WILL be back. And it will once again restore your childlike sense of wonder.
