Predictions? How'd I Do?
Now that the new iPad mini and iPad Air are available, I thought it would be instructive to go back to my post where I laid out predictions to see what was true and what was bogus. Here what I posted:
Here are the 5 most interesting rumors
1. New iPads and iPad Mini's. iPads will be faster, thinner and have a smaller bezel.
iPad Mini's will come in colors similar to the iPhone 5C.
2. There will not be an iPad Mini retina screen yet.
3. A MacPro release date will be announced.
4. The new OS, Maverics, will be available a week after the event.
5. Still no Apple television set.

#1 was half right. iPad Airs ARE faster thinner with a smaller bezel, but Mini's do not come in colors.
#2 was totally wrong. Retinas are here.
#3 was right. The new Mac Pro will cost $2,999 and go on sale in December.
#4 was right. Mavericks was available that day
#5 was right. Apple TV was not even mentioned.
Actually not bad for a rank amateur.
