MW's Predictions - Revisited

Today's big event is all over.  For those keeping score, let's look at the predictions Will and I made and see how we did...

 

Where we nailed it:

iPad Mini - Everyone in the world got this one right, Will and myself included.  The iPad Mini will come in two colors (white/black), standard 16/32/64 configurations, WIFI and LTE, and so on.  We were also accurate in predicting it to be non-retina, and utilize an A5x chip.

New, New iPad - Yesterday I pointed out that if we did see a new full sized iPad it'd be a full upgrade including a faster chip, newer radio equipment, better camera, etc.  Apple has come through with just such an upgraded device.

13" Retina MbPro - Will and I have both been consistent in predicting this was the event which would unveil the MacBook Pro.  Apple, today delivers a perfect machine to accompany the 15" macbook.

iMac - MW was correct in predicting a newly designed iMac would be released tomorrow.  The new enclosure is nicer than anything I'd imagined, and is the best "looking" mac out there in my opinion.

Mac Mini - An upgraded Mac Mini rolled today exactly as we'd suggested.

 

Where we blew it:

iMac - The design is slightly different than the enclosure we were expecting, especially it's overall thinness. Additionally the new fusion drive system was a very pleasant surprise.

Release Dates - Sorry folks, we heard a tip regarding an earlier available date than was commonly be reported.  The source checked out, so we ran with it.  Looks like for most these products November 2 will be the day.

 

In summary: 

On the whole, MW was right on with nearly every prediction going in to this event.  Stay tuned throughout the next couple weeks as we post reviews and analysis on this hot new Apple gear!
