G+_David Pick Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Was I the only one disappointed how Apple Intensive this episode was this week? The chat room was a little trolly and I understood at the end why Leo had muted it. But I was disappointed nobody seemed to care there were other things to talk about besides Apple products. Maybe bias as someone who doesn't own an Apple product.But last week's announcements just didn't feel as revolutionary as the TWIT panel felt it was. All the new devices from Apple felt evolutionary vs revolutionary. But maybe I'm simply not looking at the big picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Apple does not have many presentations and this one was packed with new hardware, because Apple is one of the big tech companies they have to put in perspective the new lineup.

G+_David Pick Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Eng. Jorge Santana That explains allot why people who follow Apple were so excited. I had thought Apple announces these things once a year. Nobody seemed to know the answer yesterday. Is the 3D touch on the IPad Pro available on other Apple products like the IPad Air 2 or IPhone 6S?

G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 3D touch is only on the new iPhone, Apple pencil is only for the new iPad pro 12.9" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Adam Torborg Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I was kind of disappointed too. Any time someone makes declarative statements without any wiggle room along the lines that were being made get on my nerves. Maybe I'm over sensitive, but it seemed like Android and its phones were being treated like some jokey toys. They are different products for different people. I guess this was not the week to listen if you prefer Android though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Loschiavo Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Should have just been a mac break weekly. I look to TWIT to cover more than one topic with fanboy guests. I always give Leo credit when he presents a different view for the sake of discussion. It's Monday and nobody is talking about the exciting Apple event except Apple media. Meh.

G+_L I Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 This is not a problem unique to TWiT. There is hardly any critical coverage of Apple announcements or news. That said, this TWiT was much better than I expected it to be - save for a few wtf comments by Mr. iMore. They at least made the points about what force touch is (right click) and what the iPad Pro is (MS Surface) which I didn't hear/read elsewhere. You have to expect Apple domination in the tech press because of the market share and especially after their big announcement. Gotta pay the bills. But it's the fawning and over coverage at journalism-inappropriate times that makes me recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Also we have to remember that Leo was gone for the Apple announcement, so he did have questions about the event. I believe a few of them got answered during the show. But there is a point I think many of you are missing, on how critical the guests and Leo were on the Apple app store policies, for one.
