Apple Releases Everything

Apple held an event today and released a new version of everything they make. Well, not quite, but pretty close. This year has previously seen the release of iBooks Author, OS X 10.8, iOS 6, the 15" Retina MacBook Pro, new AirPort Express, updated AppleTV, iPad 3rd Generation, iPhone 5, new iPod nano and new iPod touch. I might even be missing something.

Today Apple added the 13" Retina MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iMac, Retina iPad 4th Generation, iBooks Author 2.0 and the all new iPad mini to the list. This product list is really crazy and it leaves almost nothing in the line untouched for 2012.

Anyone who reads this blog has probably already seen a link to a favorite post of mine from Asymco showing Apple Capital Expenditures for 2012. The last chart in the post is particularly mind blowing. I think we're getting a sense for what that extreme level of spending is enabling Apple to build.

I'd encourage you to visit Apple and just look around a bit.

October 23rd

Apple will hold an event on October 23rd according to ​Jim Dalrymple at The Loop. With additional rumors of a revised iPad, Mac Mini, iMac, 13" Retina MacBook Pro and further information about iBooks, it's shaping up to be a very busy fall for Apple.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone paying attention to Apple and the final chart in this analysis by Horace Ded​iu. Apple is going to be building a lot of stuff.
