Next year the Apple Watch should make its debut so if you can't upgrade
before the Apple Watch debut then this is something to consider. Nobody
knows when exactly it will be on sale though.

Hi!
I've couldn't say it better myself Cheryl.
Thats how it is.
I don't really bother but i ofcourse would like to hear more about hardware
specs and voiceover and such as a tech nerd.

The tricky bit Apple is approaching is that hardware is about at the
limit. Long ago the audio reached a point where any improvement would
not be discernible by most people's ears (192k fanbois noted). Now the
retina display has reached the same point where any more improvement
won't be detecta
I thought the mini bogging down without a display (or adapter to trick
it) had been fixed in more recent models?

Yeah, time will tell, no one knows at the moment presumably because it's

Yep, it's worth it for me to upgrade my Mini too, as a server I welcome the
extra capacity and the single disk. Saves messing about with RAID0 or

Otherwise: nothing to see here, move along. :)

Apple has never been particularly long on offering specs. And the specs by
themselves mean nothing, witness their camera doing so well, even though it

But, sadly, you still need a monitor, and don't tell me there's an adapter you
can buy that will solve the problem, back in 2009 I purchased 3 different
adapters that were supposed to solve the monitor problem, none of them worked.

The new iPads will include Touch ID so those who do not have an iPhone
5s or later can experience Touch ID with no long term commitment. I'm
