see . Apple was never going to uncover anything altogether unexpected at this event . An literal Apple HDTV or iWatch or iCupertino would be deserving of its own dance at the ball . Those fabled products have become more expected un - announcements for iPhone and iPad events than unexpected announcement . This list focuses more on what could have been harbinger . Or peradventure what should have been ?
Updated Apple TV
Though we ’re on the third generation of the Apple TV ( loose in early 2012 ) , the mordant puck Apple TV has actually existed since September 2010 . And the only divergence between the second generation Apple tv set and the third generation was that the third bestow support for 1080p financial backing ( and take away jailbreaking ) ! Cool ( and not cool ) . So it ’s been three years of in effect the same thing , plus or minus a software update ( which to be true , is where the material feature of speech — like HBO Go and WatchESPN — are added ) .
And we all understood that we were never getting an Apple HDTV today and we wholly can see how releasing a SDK to allow apps for Apple TV would make more sensation at WWDC , but something was reckon to happen with the Apple TV . Reports from reputable sources were saying anew Apple TV was come outat this iPad event . It did n’t . Rokus are look more and more fantastic with each quiet non - update of the Apple TV .
iPad Pro
Before the event , Good Book had passed through the Apple rumor John Stuart Mill that Applehad been testing some giant 13 - inch iPads . There was also mention of Apple creatinga hybrid keyboard case a la Microsoft Surface . Both of those devices seem passably Pro - ish . Both probably had no shot of moving beyond Jony I ve ’s desk . But with Apple shifting the flagship iPad into the iPad Air name , it gain you marvel what ’s to come .

A Cheap(-er) iPad
You want to see something ridiculous ? Go to theApple renovate storeand buy an iPad 4 ( that would be the same iPad that was very safe , most powerfulest iPad until today ) . And then go to the Apple Store and corrupt an iPad 2 . Compare receipt . The released in March 2011 iPad 2 will cost $ 400 and the refurbish iPad 4 that was the king of tablets yesterday will lam you only $ 380 . No one in their right psyche should buy an iPad 2 right now .
You want to see something funny ? Check out the damage of last yr ’s iPad miniskirt . It ’s on sale for $ 300 — a mere 30 bucks cheaper than it was a class ago . Then go look at the price of a 2013 Nexus 7 ( $ 230 ) or Amazon Kindle HDX ( also $ 230 ) .
Apple released many things at many different Mary Leontyne Price decimal point today . hellhole , it even gave us destitute computer software ! But it did not free a tinny iPad . The ‘ punk ’ big iPad is a joke and the ‘ cheap ’ price for the original iPad mini is n’t anything close to cheesy .
Color iPads
The invitation was so colorful … the iPhone 5C comes in color now … the iPhone 5S has goldpagne … but nope . No colors . If you require some pizazz in your tab using life , you got ta spring for a$80 smart caseto cover the front and back of your iPad .
TouchID for iPads
The iPhone 5Spromised a passcode - less strong futurefor all Apple devices only to have the iPad Air and iPad miniskirt ruin those dreams by not having the Touch ID fingerprint scanner built in . What ’s up with the hold out ? Are there not enough parts in the provision chain to make Touch ID detector for the iPhone 5S and the Air and Mini ? Does equal ID have to improve because of all theodd angles and gymnastics your thumb and fingers wrick intoto unlock a tablet ? Is it a confederacy to hold out on lineament to make you corrupt next year ’s role model ?

Touch ID was a minor yet monumental feature in the 5S : in one swooping alteration of the home release it made everything better . The iPhone was more secure , unlocking a speech sound was debauched and the quality of the home button even better . To not include it in the iPad Air and iPad mini is a little bit mysterious .
Haswell Mac Mini
Maybe one day the Mac Mini will get shown some spot honey in a keynote but the little runt of the Mac folk did n’t get any radiance today . There have n’t been any square rumors about the oft - blank out Mac but it ’s natural to take over a Haswell Mac Mini to give it more punch will be coming . best incorporated art , 802.11ac to zip up the wee fees could also be reasonably expected .
4K Thunderbolt Display
If you have a animate being of a car that hold up 4 K displays ( that would be the new Mac Pro ) it ’d be gracious if you could actually hook it up to a , I do n’t be intimate , Apple Thunderbolt 4 K display . But you ca n’t , because it was never declare . The 4 K may be too recession or too professional or too expensive for today ’s iPhone - and - iPad - for - everybody Apple butWired does a good jobexplaining the oddity of leave the Thunderbolt display untouched .
